The Power Of The Judiciary
.... that
system. Basically, the Judiciary would make sure that no law was unfairly
enforced on somebody, and anything else would merely be a bonus. The system of
"Checks and Balances" would then be the Executive watching over the Legislative,
and the Legislative watching over the Executive. To be more specific it would
be Congress watching over the President and the President watching over Congress.
(The Federalist Papers, #51)
This system, as I mentioned earlier seemed to be the perfect protection

The Press And Media Cause Rampant Swaying Of The Election Votes Through Their Opinions And Reports
.... Yet it was Adams who, in spite of his
undoubted intelligence, made a mistake of such proportions that it brought about
his own downfall and the party's (Press and the Presidency, John Tebbel 1985).
This mistake would be the Sedition Act, which tested the first amendment and the
freedoms of the press. This obviously did not please the press and its opinions
were generally shifted to that of the Anti-Federalist. This was a deadly blow
to John Adams' presidency and the Federalist party. He himself was .....

Actions And Behavior Of The President

believed that the Federal Government had an obligation and interest in bringing
the nation out of the depression. In order to do this he initiated a number of
agencies and projects to employ people. In the first "Hundred Days" of
Roosevelt's first term he initiated a number of programs which increased the
size of the Federal Government and the power of the President. He did all that
he could to see that his proposals were put i .....

legislature or of any individuals, to give existence to Slavery in any Territory
of the United States."
In the first four years of the 1860's, the North and South waged war
over these issues, with the Republican North emerging victorious. The
Republicans took charge of the national political power. Although he worked
with an anti-slavery platform, President Lincoln attempted to make a generous
peace with the South, with hopes of expanding the power of .....

The Right To Keep And Bear Arms

noticeably quiet. One such group is the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
In "The ACLU on Gun Control", the national ACLU policy is neutrality (1).
All factions in this debate have some merit, some more than others. All use a
mixture of facts, figures, and emotions to express their views. I will be
presenting some of their history, their views, and how they make their cases.
The NRA is perhaps the most well known of the participants. They were formed
after the Civil War, in .....

The Rise And Fall Of McCarthyism: An Explanation Of How The Media Created And Then Destroyed Joseph McCarthy.
.... and moved from one charge to another. McCarthy barraged his
opposition with accusations and evaded demands for tangible proof as he
developed a loyal following. With the support of many Republicans, he accused
the administrations of Roosevelt and Truman with "twenty years of
treason."(Grolier, 1996)
After his reelection in 1952, McCarthy directed similar accusations at
the Eisenhower administration from a new post as head of the Senate's Government
Operations Committee and it's permanen .....

The Rise Of Communism In Russia

Encyclopedia).
Socialism, of which "Marxism-Leninism" is a takeoff, originated in the
West. Designed in France and Germany, it was brought into Russia in the middle
of the nineteenth century and promptly attracted support among the country's
educated, public-minded elite, who at that time were called intelligentsia
(Pipes, 21). After Revolution broke out over Europe in 1848 the modern working
class appeare .....

The Role Of The Prosecutor

accused person or whether to even dismiss charges based on lack of evidence.
Since his decisions account for a large share of cases that are taken into the
courts, Athe character, quality and efficiency of the whole system is shaped in
great measure by the manner in which he exercises his broad discretionary
powers@ (Britanica).
Like other lawyers, the prosecutor is subject to disciplinary actions

The Role Of Decision Making In The Pre-Crisis Period Of India (15 March, 1959 - 7 September, 1962)

The role of the decision-makers before the time of the armed conflict
had a big significance for India's position on political and economic matters in
the continent of Asia. A major figure in India's decision making was Jawaharlal
Nehru, leader of the Congress Party, head of the Planning Commission and chief
spokesman of the government in Parliament. These titles not only made him an
important nationalistic figure but also Gandhi's appointed heir and a "major
architect of .....

The Second Amendment

ammendment wouldn't solve the problem facing our society. The contriversy of
this issue that has the potential to pulverise this country is why it is such a
good topic to discuss, people should be better informed and make a decision
based on fact and not fiction. Many advocates of the
limitations of guns can quote numerous examples of increasing violence and
homicide crimes. But the area which hits the closest to home is the issue of
violence among th .....

Liberalism And Freedom

right to resist and the inherent right of every individual to be independent.
These were some of the main focuses of classical liberalism in early America.
On religious freedom, seventeenth century minister Roger Williams wrote:

The United States As A World Power: How Much Longer Will The US Be The Policeman Of The World ?

passed into law by Congress under Monroe, has forced the United States to get
into so many conflicts with neighboring Latin American countries. Sometimes even
European countries declared war on America because of this doctrine.
The Monroe Doctrine was delivered by James Monroe to the United States
Congress in 1823. Since that time, this document has been the cornerstone of the
United States foreign policy. This docum .....

to do something, "With all thair strang *poweir" (OED 2536) Nearly three hundred
years later in 1785 the word power carried the same meaning of control, strength,
and force, "power to produce an effect, supposes power not to produce it;
otherwise it is not power but necessity" (OED 2536). This definition explains
how the power government or social institutions rests in their ability to

Time For Reform? Considering The Failures Of The Electoral College
.... the responsibility of selecting the
next President falls upon the House of Representatives. This elaborate system of
Presidential selection is thought by many to be an 18th century anachronism
(Hoxie p. 717), what it is in fact is the product of a 200 year old debate over
who should select the President and why.
In 1787, the Framers in their infinite wisdom, saw the need to respect the
principles of both Federalists and States Righters (republicans) (Hoxie p. 717).
Summarily a compromise was struck be .....

function does not examine the purpose of proposed legislation, but instead
attempts to improve it technically. In federal systems, the legislative review
function of the Senate is only secondary to their role in providing for
representation for various parts of the country in the national legislature.
Representation is selected in favour of the smaller regions, in contrast to the
