For the first time, men who entered office through examination could attain the highest office, even that of Chief Minister.

Drug And Alcohol Abuse
.... will contribute to a loss of state money, I believe that it will also save money by keeping potential drug manufacturers out of the jail cells and in the classrooms.
I believe that it is also important to prevent people, especially children and teenagers, from using drugs and alcohol. Many children and teenagers throughout Missouri experiment with drugs every day. Programs that are already in place for children, such as the "Mo Says No" and "Take Hugs, Not Drugs" campaigns are great, but I believe that .....

Euthanasia
.... whereas only thirteen percent disapproved of the laws. Also seventy percent think the family should be allowed to make the decision about treatment on behalf of the patient, while another five percent think this is suitable only in some cases (Colasnto, 1991, p. 62).
The results on mercy killing surprised me even more. Seventy percent think it is justified at least sometimes for a person to kill his or her spouse, if he or she is suffering terrible pain caused by a terminal illness. Even suicide is sta .....

Having a greater amount of weapons will cause the people to feel less safe. If you live in a neighborhood where you do not have to lock your doors at night you will feel safer than if you lived in a neighborhood where every night you have to set the alarm on your house. On an international level, the more weapons a country has the more people will live in fear. They will feel that they are in a great amount of danger if the need to be protected with weapons is so significant. This will .....

Government: Canada And China
.... government positions. On the other hand the Chinese and Canadian governments do have some similarities. Both governments are federal in form. They both have divisions between the central and local governments. They both are representative democracies. Well at least China tries to look like one. Canada and China are examples of governments that are fundamentally quite different. In China the people hold very little power in their government. The power rests with a small group and the Communist party. .....

Locke Government Theory
.... such as Galileo and Descartes before him.
John Locke became convinced that true knowledge cannot be attained in natural science, but only through concrete mathematics. This theory was later adopted by several other philosophers.

They believe in leaving the money with the people giving them more to spend and with their increased spending stimulate all aspects of the economy. If you agree with their philosophy of lower taxes and smaller government and you were a Canadian citizen this might be the party for you. If not then maybe you might be interested in the Li! bertarian Party on Canada. This party is a strong advocator of the rights of property owners. They are aga .....

Political Philosophy Of Thomas
.... empirist and a materialist. Empirists believe that sense gives all knowledge. Generally, they do not believe in astrology, god, electrons etc. Their philosophy is summed up by saying that all things that give true knowledge can be sensed. Materialists believe that all things in existence are physical matter. In other words, the soul and the spirit do not exist.
Therefore Hobbes believes that thoughts are material, that they are caused by sense and vice versa.
Tom Sorrell suggests in his essay, entit .....

Southern Voting Behavior Since

In the beginning of and prior to the 1960's the South was a Democratic stronghold and it was rare for there to be any competition from Republicans in these non competitive states (Mulcahy p.56). A poll taken in the 1960's showed that " the southern states were the obvious stronghold of Democratic identification. The extreme case was Louisiana, where 66% identified with the Democratic party"(Black p.44). This all bega .....

The nuclear tests by France, India and Pakistan also showed that we are still leaving in a world of a possible nuclear war. The spread of the weapons of mass destruction to officially non-nuclear state mean also a higher risk that it is actually going to be used- intentionally or by accid .....

The group he sided with, the Democratic-Republicans, favored a strict interpretation. As their leader, Jefferson argued that all powers not enumerated by the Constitution belonged to the States. The basis for his argument was the old English "compact" theory. This theory stated that various individuals, in this case th .....

Grey corruption is the area in between, which is tolerated by a part of the society, while seen as corruption by the other part.
