Brutus says in his essay that this power given to the federal government will take away all of the state government’s power to collect taxes and that the constitutions and treaties of the states will become null. Hamilton denies this by explaining that the structure of the proposed federal government will preserve the state constitutions. What Hamilton says about this seems to go against Article 6 of the Constitution, which says that the law of the Constitution will be supreme over the states. Brutus’ Essay V seems to say the same thing over and over again. Many of the things that he lists as problems to the nation are things that we love about our government today.
English Only Legislation Literature Review Emmanuel Santiago ENG 201 Professor Sheila Figueroa January 9, 2011 Our country was founded on the ideals of freedom and religious tolerance. America’s founding fathers intended for us to be a nation of tolerance towards cultural diversity too. Early projects by members of Congress to obtain an English only legislation have failed to make any significant progress. Immigrants already understand that success in America cannot be attained without proficiency in the English language. Do we need federal legislation to further assert this fact?
Kiely said around 78% of outside spending in 2012 – $365m of the total $465m – could be attributed to the “Citizens United effect”. The 2010 ruling by the supreme court in the case of Citizens United vs Federal Election Commission allowed corporations and unions to spend unlimited money on campaigning, enabling Super Pacs to spend unlimited amounts as long as they had no coordination with the candidates they support. In reality, those running Super PACs have often have close ties to political parties. Former George W Bush advisor Karl Rove runs the conservative American Crossroads Super Pac, while Restore Our Future, a pro-Mitt Romney Super Pac, was founded by former Romney aides. The money spent by Super Pacs, unions, corporations and non-profit groups is more than double what those groups spent in 2010, the first campaign in which the supreme court judgment had taken effect.
No American politician of the 20th century is more reviled by historians and opinion makers than Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, the Wisconsin Republican whose 1950s anti-Communist crusade is synonymous with witch-hunting and repression. Actually, no politician even comes close. Herbert Hoover? True, the Great Depression occurred on his watch, goes the current wisdom, but Hoover can’t be blamed for a global catastrophe, and his economic programs paved the way for needed reforms. Richard Nixon?
You like Ike. Everybody likes Ike.”: Eisenhower’s greatest asset was his – enjoyment of the affection & respect of the American people The record would seem to indicate that Pres Eisenhower’s strongest commitment during his presidency was to – social harmony (not social justice or racial desegregation – until challenged by AR in 1957) On subject of racial prejudice, Pres Eisenhower – had advised against integrating armed forces [* Ike was weak on civil rights, except Little Rock, etc…, he did not push for civil rights or help as Truman had before him – only rose to challenge presented by Gov Faubus in Little Rock in 1957 really – sent 101st Airborne] {* Little Rock, Arkansas – Central High School – Little Rock 9 – Elizabeth Eckford, others, several days – national Guard, 101st Airborne – reactions – How Arkansas (& other states & communities in South & mid-West) avoided
Representatives from small states did not like this plan and came up with the New Jersey Plan, which states that all states should be equal regardless the population. They settled this by giving the US two lawmaking bodies. Alexander Hamilton whom is on the $10 bill favors a strong central government and suggest for a president. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution by the ant federalist. I learned that an Amendment is any change done to the Constitution.
In 1765, when the Stamp Act was placed, he made a testimony before Parliament to help persuade the repeal of the law. Benjamin Franklin stands alone as the only person to have signed all four documents, which helped to create the United States of America. Including the Declaration of Independence (1776), Treaty of Alliance, Amity, and Commerce with France (1778), Treaty of Peace between England, France, and the United States (1782), and the Constitution (1787). He also helped write parts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Due to being so popular with
Brian Bonafede Composition II Final Project Proposal July 10, 2012 The United States government allows religious institutions such as the Catholic Church to operate tax free in America. In 1894 Congress proceeded to establish a law that exempted Churches from paying Federal income taxes. On top of that, all 50 states including the District of Columbia exempt Churches from paying any property taxes. 118 years later we find ourselves in rough economic times with no end in sight. Proponents of these exemptions claim it helps preserve the first Amendment which states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...." while opponents believe it violates this Amendment by allowing special sanctions to be given to Churches, thereby
are having their constitutional rights being kept from them which is a serious violation of the inalienable rights guaranteed to every American citizen. With the right to vote being the most important right in a free country, having the right taken away due to the complications of bureaucracy and the polarization of our political parties should make any responsible citizen confused or disgusted. Washington D.C. should be granted statehood because it passes all the requirements for it besides approval from corrupt and broken legislative body. However, there is hope, since we are a democracy, know your next congressman’s stance on this debate and maybe we can restore the American way of life to 600,000 silenced citizens.

EXECUTIVE IN CHIEF President Barack Obama has worn many hats these last two years -- including commander in chief, presiding over two wars; and legislator in chief, in his many battles with Congress. As he regroups after the mid-terms for a likely altered political landscape, Obama should now embrace the role of executive in chief. He needs to don the hat of chief executive of a federal workforce of 2.1 million people, placing new emphasis on improving the effectiveness of federal programs. Most presidents and their political appointees would certainly prefer to focus on policy, not operations. Generally, there is no payoff for worrying about management details, and no penalty for ignoring them.
