Communications Decency Act: Regulation In Cyberspace
.... time for
anyone caught using “indecent” language over the net; as if reading profanities
online affects us more dramatically than reading them on paper. Our First
Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press....” The Act takes away this right. The Constitution-
defying traitors creating these useless laws do not they understand the medium
they're trying to control. .....

The Federal Bureau Of Investigation (FBI)
.... was established, there were few federal crimes.
The Bureau of Investigation primarily investigated violations of laws
involving national banking, bankruptcy frauds, antitrust crime,
naturalization, and neutrality violation. With the April 1917 entry of the
United States into World War I (1914-1918), the Bureau was given the
responsibility of investigating espionage, sabotage acts, sedition
(resistance against lawful authority), and draft violations. When the
National Motor Vehicle Theft Act was passe .....

The Electoral College
.... no longer
boasted exclusive control over the presidency. The electoral college was
intended to satiate the demands of federalists as well as antifederalists
but as history has evinced, it didn't. With the Electoral College in
effect, the fate of the presidency still lied in the hands of elite America.
Each state appointed a number of electors equal to the number seats that
state carried in the house and senate. In other words, when a citizen cast
a vote, he/she is not directly voting the presi .....

Imperialism: And The Way It Took Away Tranquillity
.... world. In
1859 Lincoln said that the Republican party believed in the man and the
dollar, but that in case of conflict it believed in the man before the
dollar. This is the proper relation which should exist between the two. Man,
the handiwork of God, comes first; money, the handiwork of man, is of
inferior importance. Man is the master, money the servant, but upon all
important questions of the nineteenth century European countries tended to
make money the master and man the servant.
There are ma .....

Tinker Vs. Des Moines
.... not just and should not have even been permitted in the court of law.
The punishment that the school district endured was that adverse publicity
and a challenge to the authority of a school district, or school to
establish rules for student behavior and conduct.
3. The Tinker's accused the school district of violating The Bill of Rights,
first amendment, the right of freedom of speech and the fourteenth
amendment, the rights of the citizens [civil rights]. They claimed that
MaryBeth was exercising her ri .....

The Political Issue Of Airbag Safety
.... thousand dollars. The airbags regulation has
certainly hurt the sales of cars especially economy cars.
This is certainly a political issue because many people debating it,
trying to change the law in their favor. The article mainly talked about
regulators setting new standards, requiring new and better airbags for all
cars. New and better technologies mean more tests that cost money from auto
manufacturer. Maybe the new technology or new airbags it self cost more
money to make. As I learn from .....

Should The President Be Impeached?
.... need to be
answered. Is impeachment a remedy to the situation ? Should the president
be impeached and convicted?
The impeachment process is part of the checks and balances of our
government. The power of impeachment allows congress to remove the
president out of office. In this particular case if Bill Clinton is
convicted, he is thrown out of office, and Vice President Al Gore replaces
him as President. The U.S. constitution explains impeachment as the removal
from office for , and conv .....

The Presidency Of Dwight D. Eisenhower
.... minimum wages. The Republican party was not in favor of the
majority of this legislation. Thus when Eisenhower was elected they
immediately made plans for cutbacks in the spending on these programs.
Unfortunately for them the newly elected president was not opposed to the
programs Truman had began and improved upon. Over the course of his
administration Eisenhower often did not hold the same opinions as some of
the members of his party.
As the Chief Economic advisor to the President of the United Stat .....

Marbury V. Madison
.... the so-called "midnight judges."
In the final weeks before Jefferson took office, John Marshall was
Secretary of State and Chief Justice simultaneously. As Secretary of State,
he had the task of delivering these commissions. In the press of business
before Adams left office he delivered all but seventeen. Marshall left
these on his desk for the incoming Secretary, James Madison, to deliver.
Outraged by Adams' appointments, Jefferson ordered Madison not to deliver
the commissions. Four of th .....

The FAA
.... FAA has not tried to solve a problem
until after a problem has already occurred. They have not tried to prevent
problems when it may impose a high cost on to the airline industry either.
In August 1990 the FAA issued a rule that required airlines to install
fire-resistant cabins into new planes. The materials were also supposed to
be installed into the cabins of in-service planes that required a “
significant” amount of the cabin replaced. The FAA failed to define what a
substantial amount of the cab .....

The Environmental Protection Agency
.... expertise and its formal authority. Even when disputing its findings,
all parties to a controversy often find themselves focusing on the
information and analysis that EPA provides. The Environmental Protection
Agency is unique among environmental regulatory agencies in that it deals
with both public health and resource management issues. Its comprehensive
authority is reflected in its position in the Executive Branch. It is the
only regulatory agency whose administrator reports directly to the
Presiden .....

The First Amendment
.... the established one. In the years
to come people would come to America to seek religious freedom and they got
it. In 1811, when James Madison was president, he vetoed a bill passed by
Congress incorporating a church organization. England was also an influence
on how we handled the press, since we were trying to break away from them
and be different and independent. England had pollicies wearies printers,
publishers, and writers could not print, publish, or basically write
anything unless it was inspected .....

Gideon Vs Wainwright
.... is phrased creates a “gray area”, and
subject to interpretation under different circumstances. The legitimacy of
the right to mount a legal defense is further obscured by the Fourteenth
Amendment which states, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges of citizens of the United States.” As a result, many
questions begin to arise which seek to determine the true right of the
accused to the assistance of counsel. Should legal counsel be provided by
the government if the .....

Political Parties During The Civil War
.... Abraham Lincoln, was elected to the
presidency; the Southern states reacted by seceding from the Union, and the
country was plunged into the Civil War (1861-1865).
The Civil War and the Reconstruction period that followed gave the
Republican Party a solid core of strength and permanence. Republicans
controlled most elective offices in the Northern states during the war, and
for a generation afterward they were able to make full use of patriotic
fervor to denounce the Democrats as traitors and fr .....

The Vote To Breakup Quebec And Canada
.... handed over leadership of the separatists cause to Lucian Bouchard.
Bouchard was head of the Bloc Quebecois (BQ), a distinct, federal level
party which swept[t the polls in Quebec in the 1993 federal elections, and
whose 53 members in the Ottawa parliament are second in number only to the
ruling liberals of Jean Chretien.
Already in June, Parizeau had retreated from his outright
separatist stance by agreeing with Bouchard, and with Mario Dumont, leader
of a small nationalist party, to couple .....
