In order for America to become an industrial power he wanted the strong central government to run the business and industries. During that time some people wished to only pay part of the national debt but Hamilton did not. He believed that the debt should be paid completely. To be able to pay the national debt he believed it was important to establish a national bank to establish good national credit (Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson). When he proposed the creation of the national debt the anti-federalist protested against this idea because in the Constitution it never stated anything about a bank.
Syracuse University Federal Commercial Power: A Case of Regulating Liberty, Circumstance and Time David Yitzhari PSC 324, Fall Semester, Section M100 Professor John Hanley October 28, 2013 The propriety of granting the American federal government the right to regulate a high degree of economic activity within its national borders is to be assessed with respect to circumstance and timing. Inevitable calamities such as war and economic failures may threaten the very continuity and existence of an entire nation if not successfully and swiftly addressed. Thus, the national government, must fully utilize its unmatched capacity to effectively organize respective states through all economic means to minimize the prospect of an
Checks and balances provide a way to make sure no one branch reaches total power. For instance, Congress can try to pass a law but the President can veto any bill that comes his way. Also, if the President ends up doing something unconstitutional, Congress has the power to conduct a trial and impeach the President if necessary. In essence, these checks and balances prevent the US from becoming a totalitarian country. The court case of Marbury v Madison happened when Marbury’s was withheld by Madison and ended up suing James.
The constitution contains our unalienable rights that protects us from government. The bill of rights spell out for every american what they can do within the realm of their freedom. Our constitution is our structure. The three branches of government and the checks and balances are all still fundamental in the running of america.But there are outdated sections of it that need to be reguvinated, that need to be discussed for the betterment of our government.It need to declare issues like heathcare and an economic plan so that the country can have a clear path to walk through. It seems like america is too proud to let go of its constitution, it has become a historical trophy for our government that sits and collects dust.We must re-draft the constitution,keeping some fundamental sections but reforming parts that no longer are important, and to add sections that have become a part of america.The action of even questioning the relevance of the constitution, shows the old and non functional nature of the constitution.
In the author's opinion, this debate, from a federal standpoint, is totally flawed because it is the system of government established by the Constitution that is the key to resolving this controversy not the intent and wording of the Second Amendment. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, one of the groups opposed to the private ownership of firearms, claims the right enumerated in the Second Amendment pertains to the State militias. On their website, this organization claims the Second Amendment was adopted "to prevent the federal government from disarming the State militias." The U.S.
At the Constitutional Convention the Federalists drew up plans for a new constitution while the Anti-Federalists complained and picked apart their plan, even though the Anti-Federalists had no plan of their own. The main issue the Anti-Federalists had with the new constitution was that they thought that it would not protect the rights of states and individuals. Federalists argued that a stronger government was necessary, not to impede individual rights, but to be able to pass and enforce laws. Federalists also argued a stronger bond between states was needed to improve the economic state of the country. Under the Articles of Confederation each state printed their own currency which became worthless in any other
Hamilton feared anarchy and thought in terms of order; Jefferson feared tyranny and thought in terms of freedom Hamilton pointed out that America must have credit for industrial development, commercial activity and the operations of government. It must also have the complete faith and support of the people. There were many who wished to repudiate the national debt or pay only part of it. Hamilton however insisted upon full payment and also upon a plan by which the government took over the unpaid debt of the states incurred during the Revolution. Hamilton also devised a Bank of the United States, with
Mostly the Anti-Federalists thought that the Constitution created too strong of a central government. They felt that the Constitution did not create a Federal government, but a single national government. They were afraid that the power of the states would be lost and that the people would lose their individual rights because a few individuals would take over. As a result, they proposed The Bill of Rights, to make sure the citizens were protected by the law. They believed that no Bill of Rights would be equal to no check on our
If he can simply ignore laws he doesn’t want to enforce for whatever reason, what keeps him from simply doing what he wants and ignoring the congress of the United States? If he doesn’t like the fact that congress does not support him on some aspect of what is happening, he can simply issue an edict in the form of an executive order and he has bypassed the legal process for running this country. In effect, he is a monarch, a
Not every state agrees that gay marriage is wrong and illegal, but if the federal government were to pass a amendment outlawing gay marriage then every state who allows gay marriage would have to declare it unconstitutional and against the law. This shows that the federal and state governments have different restrictions. The state government protects the people of the state but the federal government protects everything in this country. Once something is declared unconstitutional, it will over ride any state government policy. Some people have mixed emotions about the way the government works but overall the relationship between state and federal governments protect the everyday
