- 1431: The Alien And Sedition Acts
- ... that the Constitution contained powers other than those delegated or enumerated. These unspecified powers were implied powers. To explain these powers, Hamilton said it would be natural - or implied - that the federal government would gain control over any territory gained through conquest of purchase, although the Constitution made no mention of territorial control. In essence, Hamilton wished to use the implied powers to build a strong and authoritative central government. In 1789, the Minister to France Thomas Jefferson, to Francis Hopkinson of Pennsylvania, protesting that "I am not ... over interpretation thus sparked one of the first and major issues that eventually led to the Alien and Sedition Acts: should a strong central government be formed (federalist desire), or should the individual states have control. And wild attacks of the ensuing debate also ignited the second issue, public defamation, which led to the Sedition Act. In a letter to his Vice-President, John Adams, President Washington spoke of the ...
- 1432: Euthanasia
- ... of the present and not about the consequences of the future. One of the base reasons people for euthanasia give is, a person has the right to die with dignity. People should be allowed to control their own deaths. Why should a patient be forced to live if they think their present standard of life has "degenerated to the point of meaningless", when doctors can no longer help, and perhaps the ... If the person is not able to make this decision there should be a few options, a living will, the family's choice, and the doctor's choice. A living will should be allowed to control the outcome if the person is unable to. If there is no living will the family, consulting with a qualified physician should be allowed to decide for the patient. The one situation that is most ... do not think that you would end your life or another's life should personal views decide that it is not the right thing for another to do. Does any person have the right to control the choices of others? The advances of technology have disturbed the natural balance of life and death. No longer does a person die when they are supposed to; life- support now prevents that. Opponents ...
- 1433: Differences Between Bureaucrat
- ... the age of Heian Japan. For example, the Fujiwara family gained political and economic superiority, and reduced the throne to 'an impotence reminiscent of the days of Soga domination' (Schirokauer, p.156). Emperors did not control they were controlled, and this is most evident by the concept of regents. In 858 Fujiwara Yoshifusa (804-72), Grand Minister since 857, placed his own eight-year old grandson on the throne and assumed ... four of his daughters to emperors. And these emperors who were sons of Fujiwara mothers and married to Fujiwara spouses did not resist the influence of this great family (Schirokauer, p.157). Marriage politics and control of the emperor were thus an example of the great command, power and status that the aristocrats carried, and possessed. Another example of the aristocratic gain in power can be characterized by two terms; shoen, and, shiki. Shoen first appeared in the eighth century and were private land holdings outside of government control. Most were aristocrat land holdings and they enjoyed tax exemptions and had immunity from government inspections within the boundaries of the shoen. There were four levels of people associated with a shoen. They were ...
- 1434: Ronald Reagan
- ... class Americans, many of them were the once who had supported the Democratic Party. He won their support with his positive declaration that the federal government imposed taxation high and had grown too large to control over people. Reagan spoke out in public against what overgrown government bureaucracy, expensive social programs, and federal regulatory agencies that interrupted in the private lives and business dealings of U.S. citizens. His strength in the 1980 election helped the Republicans win a majority in the Senate for the first time in 26 years. With more control of the House, Democrats had the ability to stop and block many of Reagan’s plans but his strengths of approaching to people directly and his abilities as a speaker did a lot to influence ... the Republicans nominated Reagan and Bush for a second term. Reagan promised to keep taxes down, and won 59 percent of the popular vote and carried 49 states. In the 1986 elections the Democrats regained control of the Senate. During his last two years in office, unable to run for reelection himself, Reagan found it harder to get his legislative proposals finished. Foreign affairs In the Middle East, Reagan came ...

- 1436: Orson Welles
- ... movements. One of his most famous shots takes place in the movie The Lady From Shanghai. In this movie, there is a famous hall-of-mirrors shoot-out where the villain and the hero exchange gun fire and the audience is unsure of what is going on. The scene is famous because Welles utilizes new camera techniques that bewilder the viewer with extravagant movements. Throughout his career, Welles employs clever editing ... the victor. However, the storyline conveyed empathy for both victim and victor. The hero in Welles’ movies spent most of his time trying to overcome his situation and deal with circumstances that were beyond his control.

Welles often attributes his characters to his own experience declaring, "I began at the ...
- 1437: Julius Caesar
- ... BC were hostile to him, but he managed to bribe one of them. This caused a stalemate in the Senate. Then, late in the fall, the senate decide that Caesar and Pompeius were to relinquish control of their armies and provinces. Caesar's followers tried to veto it, but the hostile consul ordered Pompeius to defend the Republic with two Legions at Capua and the authority to raise more. Caesar thereupon gathered his own armies and went south. Both commanders were still on speaking terms and Caesar made another proposal. The proposal was that he would relinquish control of all but two of his legions and The province of Cisalpine Gaul (the part of Gaul lying in Italy). Pompeius agreed, but the senate ordered him to wait. Caesar then made an ultimatum. Julius ... Pompeius were now panic stricken and left Italy to head toward Albania, without taking the treasury with them. Once in Rome, Caesar wasted no time. Against no effective opposition, he assembled a makeshift senate, took control of the government and broke open the treasury. Mark Anthony was put in charge of the Italian legions and Caesar himself went to the independent city of Massilia. He could not capture the city, ...
- 1438: John Woo
- ... well. He combines montages with slow motion to create a tenser environment. Of course Woo directs very fast and furious action sequences in which viewers often get caught up in, mixed in are the duel gun battles and the Mexican standoffs. Woo is known for action, and this is where a great deal of the "new breed" of action directors (and some old veterans) get their "inspiration" for their action sequences. One of Woo's trademarks, men shooting it out with a gun in each hand, has almost become a cliché of the action genre. Even Pamela Anderson in the "fluffy" Barb Wire took out the "bad guys" with dual guns blazing. Bruce Willis in Last Man Standing ... stages kinetic scene of over- the- top gunplay with fluid camera movements, extremely long takes, and perfectly timed choreography of movement. Woo's on the spot improvising that also delivered one of the most amazing gun blazing sequences when in the middle of the movie a full-blooded gunfight erupts, but is played out in balletic slow-motion to Somewhere Over The Rainbow, heard through child's headphones. The song ...
- 1439: John Locke
- ... more for others in the common store, one was not infringing on another’s natural rights. Irrelevant because property production or the use of labor was completely individualistic and one should not be able to control another’s labor as it is an infringement on their natural rights. There are however limits, as far as property and labor are concerned. One limit is that of non destruction. God did not create ... here that we begin to see the limits of men as well as the limits of the soveriegn. After all, how anyone interfere with the wishes of God? Locke believed that the power for social control must come from the sovereign. This sovereign is responsible to the will of the people, but has a protective authority, governing both over land and people. Locke believed that if a body of people, that ... that the sovereign, created out of the need for the protection of individual rights, that is, out of the need for protection of the privacy of property, could not manifest itself publicly through excessive social control. Perhaps Locke’s idea is better explained this way. From privacy of possession, publicity of sovereignty does not follow...`no Man could ever have a just Power over the life of another, by Right ...
- 1440: John Coltrane
- ... solo before Tyner borrows from Coltrane's frenzied attack. Tyner's left pounds out a series of dramatic, seemingly unrelated chords while his right scurries across the keys. Coltrane then sprays notes like a machine gun, firing off in a million directions. Somehow, it never sounds frivolous – each squawk has passion, each note has meaning. Finally, on the closing "Psalm," he seems to have found what he's been searching for ... given his nickname through an unknown person Many people have analyzed his nickname and they find it very fitting. Here's how the metaphor of a train fits his life. He was a man in control of himself (similar to the conductor of a train). He was always conscious of where came his roots or his heritage (a train has a starting point and a destination). He was self-disciplined and ...
