.... fainted. The curtains went down, and members of the production all ran to Owen's aid, yet he seemed ungrateful, "He appeared to be sullenly embracing his 'vision' like the typically doubtless prophet he so often seemed to be…" (Irving 246).

.... at the wars that are going on today some can be justified as having proper cause. If a country is going to cause unworthy harm to many innocent victims it is alright to go in and send them a message.

Small states would also be at a disadvantage with the absence of the Electoral College due to the plain fact that candidates would have less incentive to campaign in those states.

Removal campaign". In 1829, upon seeing that his beloved Bill was not
being enforced Jackson began dealing with the Indian tribes and offering
them "untouchable" tracts of lands west of the Mississippi River if they
