- ... in decision-making. As a result, the states began to relinquish their power and defer to as well as depend on the national government. This increase in federal power did not exist solely under Roosevelt's Depression-era administration but extended over to later administrations as well. The remainder of the century until the present was marked by legislation limiting the states even further. During the Great Society of the 1960s, Congress passed Johnson's proposals for increased federal aid to education-- augmenting federal control and involvement over education, a power reserved for the states. Moreover, Congress passed Medicare and Medicaid, health insurance plans for the elderly and the poor or disabled, respectively, expanding the federal role in social welfare programs.

- ... character earlier in the poem. I believe the most speculation about inconsistencies in Achilles’ character would center on his savageness towards the Trojans, especially Hektor, after the death of Patroklos, and his sensitivity towards Priam’s plea for his son’s body. It could be considered odd that Achilles is so understanding to Priam and the burial of Priam’s son, when not that long ago Achilles was dragging the body of Hektor around the grave of Patroklos. This is the same corpse that Achilles vowed to feed to the dogs, the man who ...
