Initially, Beard, rather than being thought of as having come up with an ingenious and revolutionary concept, was mostly looked upon as having came up with a controversial and needlessly negative image of America’s founding fathers. Thomas C. Kennedy: Charles A. Beard and American Foreign Policy (1975)Beard was very blunt in his ideas and theories of the founding fathers and his depiction of them as ignoble and guided by personal financial interests rather than the concerns of the general American public. Beard, Charles: An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States, New York: The Macmillan Company (1921)Such radical views by Beard, in the early 20th Century, were bound to elicit great controversies from different arenas in American scholarly society. While some showered him with praise for being so courageous and realistic, a great majority perceived him as being very unpatriotic and with the intention to cause chaos amongst the American masses Crowe, Charles: The Emergence of Progressive History, Journal of the History of Ideas, Vol.

However he became unsuccessful towards the end of his time as president of Princeton as he wanted to curb the influence of various clubs as he thought they took focus off academic learning. Fro0m 1907 to 1910, Wilson sought to build a graduate college in the heart of the campus to serve as an inspiration to undergraduates. The Dean of the Graduate School, West, wanted it to stay off campus and after receiving two substantial donations in support of this, Wilson surrendered and left Princeton as the nominee for New Jersy Governor in June 1910. Wilson was nominated for Governor of New Jersy in 1910with a sweeping victory. Immediately, he began his agenda to make the New Jersy government less corrupt [t and more transparent.
Abaraham Lincoln was born in February 12, 1809 , he led the country through a great constitutional, military and moral crisis – the American Civil War – preserving the Union, while ending slavery. Abraham Lincoln led the country since March 1861 until his assassination in 1865, he was one of the best politicians humanity ever had. As abraham Lincoln said about democracy and slavery in his own words ” As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy”. Abraham Lincoln released people from slavery and that was the best step of his policy, as i always consider him as a seasoned politician.
Even though Roosevelt and Wilson were both supportive of the progressive movement, they ran for President under two completely different parties, and this was not their only difference. Woodrow Wilson, the former president of Princeton University, was the son of a minister and was soft-spoken. He was a quiet, intellectual man who had a distinguished education behind him, attending Princeton, then Johns Hopkins University where he earned his PhD in history. Wilson’s political aspirations afforded him a landslide victory in the 1912 election for President with 42 percent of the popular vote. His “New Freedom” platform included lower tariffs, a national income tax, a Federal Reserve System and antitrust laws.
“Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut is a prime example of what happens when government tries to “control man” and make a, in the government’s opinion, utopian society. Throughout the progression of “Harrison Bergeron,” one can see that trying to achieve total equality by any means is not the ideal way to attain a utopian society. Although the members of the public, for the most part, went along with what was happening it was primarily do to the handicaps that they were forced to wear. In the story the handicapper general Diana Moon-Glampers, a representation of a president or authority figure, is the main enforcer behind everyone wearing handicaps. The handicaps include chains for those who are gifted athletically, masks for those who are beautiful, and earpieces for those who are intellectually above average.
The reason why this role is taken away from governments is that they are obstacles to a nation’s development because they are inefficient and corrupt systems. A trend towards Neoliberalism began as early as the 1970s as a direct attack on the Keynesian ideology. The ideology came to the forefront of politics when both Prime Minister of England, Margaret Thatcher and President of the United States, Ronald Reagan implemented Neo-Liberal policies. While the practice of Neoliberalism can be seen in many countries, like other ideologies it is not without flaws; however, these flaws greatly outweigh the positives that occur through its practice. Therefore, Neoliberalism is an ineffective Pro-Market approach to development that contributes to inequality and causes more harm than good for both the global south and north.
John Mearshimer’s novel, ‘The Tragedy of Great Power Politics’, focuses on how states in the international system seek to establish themselves. Mearshimer has a theory which he calls offensive realism that explains why a peaceful world is unlikely and also shows strategies great powers use to advance over other great powers. At first glance this theory seems very logical and while it does account for much of what has occurred between great powers during the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, I believe his theory will become obsolete in the next few centuries. Mearshimer begins his novel by saying international politics has always been a ‘ruthless and dangerous business’ (2) and it will likely always remain that way. Great powers are constantly competing for power and try to gain power at the expense of other states.
