Executive Privilege: Confidential communications between the president and his advisers do not have to be disclosed. The justification for this practice has been the separation of powers and the need a president has for candid advice. During the Watergate Scandal, President Nixon refused to turn over tape recordings of White House conversations. The Supreme Court, ruling on executive privilege for the first time, held that there was a sound basis for the practice, particularly in military and diplomatic matters, but there was no immunity from judicial process under all circumstances. Impoundment of funds: From time to time presidents have refused to spend money appropriated by Congress.
This essay looks to discuss Parliamentary sovereignty as a constitutional relic and will argue that it has not been rendered obsolete by the supremacy of European law. This will be done by examining the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union. It will further argue that although the United Kingdom’s statutory recognition of the Human Rights Act 1998, in response to the convention of HR, may be seen to limit the supremacy of Parliament, it will prove that Parliament still reigns supreme. It will highlight that the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty is a relevant and crucial doctrine within the United Kingdom’s constitution as it is essential for parliament to enact statutory law. This essay, taking all the above arguments into consideration, will conclude that Parliamentary sovereignty is very much alive within the UK constitution.
That wasn’t enough, so Charles asked for more against precedent. The Commons refused. They granted tonnage and poundage (traditionally given to a new monarch for life) for only a year, pending legislation to stop the introduction of any new impositions. Charles dissolved them when they began to criticise Buckingham’s handling of affairs. 1626- Charles made the leaders of the opposition (e.g.
In agreement, I believe all shall follow for strictly guidelines and restrictions, not to be precise within each Amendment, not one should uphold detail. The unwritten Constitution refers to traditions that have become part of our political system. Although George Washington warned us against Political Parties, they nominate candidates for office. Political Parties are not written into The Constitution, yet the people of the United States are left to vote and decide who the winner of the elections will be, and who will take the position as the next President of the United States. Yet, another reason why we, as a nation, alter the Constitution in our own ways, still allowing each part as an indication of mandate.
As PM Cameron, in this case, can dismiss and appoint any cabinet members without the constraints of parliament. The only people he consults are his current senior ministers who tend to side with any decision the PM makes. An example of his appointments and dismissals in his cabinet is where Cameron reshuffled his cabinet earlier in the year. He appointed several females to important roles and even demoted Michael Gove to a ‘Whip’. One of the women he appointed was Nicky Morgan, who replaced Gove as Education Secretary.
However the European parliament can have a negative effect on a country as for them to change legislation they have to speak to other members of the government so if a law does go through and they do not agree with it, it may still go through as a law and they won’t be able to do anything about it. Parliament (Central Government, House of Commons and House of Lords) There are 3 types of parliament there are central government, House of Commons and House of Lords they all have different roles and responsibilities. Central government- Central government is the government of a nation-state. This is the same thing as a federal government which may mean they have some type of power at a certain level which would then be argued about
There are both reasons why the United States should have, and reasons why they should not have entered the war. The United States were ultimately wrong in entering World War I. It was a mistake in many ways such as: the deaths of many Americans; the fact that it was not our war to fight; it was not necessary for our entrance; and it was simply “useful” for the economy. The first World War was not our war to fight, and the nation should not have engaged in the battle. The primary reasoning behind this statement is the Monroe Doctrine.
They controlled what was known as the “middle” America. Their main forte was the trapping and fur trade, however very lucrative this was not a sustainable business and way to support an economy on its own. Another big reason the French failed at colonizing was the lack of motivation. There was no religious persecution or political unrest in France at the time of New World colonization. As opposed to England who wanted to use the area as a “dumping ground” for religious zealots, the French wanted to tap the fur trade.
Man seemed small and scattered too far apart to really connect and learn from each other. The seeming advancement of Europe, shown in scientific and material progress, made their society think that only they alone are a measure of what a government should be, making them blind to other ways control. Other political customs were unheard of and thus only one type of governing was imbedded in the countries mentality. Only rare, thinking individuals, who were open minded and have traveled enough to be exposed to beneficial ideas from other continents, recognized the deficit of mutual respect among humans in the country. Unlike Utopia, people were judged and put value to according to their social status, which most of them had no control over.
Although they did not know it, the Europeans had brought over diseases from Europe. In the past Europe’s immense trade routes and domestic animals made them homes for disease. They suffered from the worst and therefore became immune to the worst. They carried these diseases to America and badly infected the people. American’s had little disease at this time because isolation did not allow for contact with the other people to contract their diseases and they did not have domestic animals.
