The endorsement groups offer bribes and ask for unnecessary promises to the politicians running for office. The temptation of falling into these traps is monstrous. According to Obama, these politicians feel that if they do not accept these bribes or arguments then they will lose out on endorsement deals as well as votes. Taking endorsements are not bad in anyway. However, a company endorses a certain individual for reasons such as political similarities or to help promote their product.
With the formation of a government, the ways of a centralized government is supposed to be revolved around the importance of the people’s ideas and say in the government. But sometimes these demands and proper goals aren’t initiated by the government thus leading to great anarchy. Alexander Hamilton was able to completely deface the recognition of the human population by sending them in a great scandal. This scandal
With the rise in the professional politician many prefer to remain loyal in order to gain power and move up in the hierarchy as opposed to become a rebel who remains in the back benchers. This can be seen after the vote on tuition fees and the liberal democrats. Despite the fact that they had campaigned for this cause endlessly only 26 (including a few Conservatives) chose to vote against the bill. Whips play an important part in removing efficiency from Parliament. By having whips who ensure that MPs behave in accordance to the decisions of the executive both Parliaments ability to scrutinise and hold the executive to account is diminished, but also their role as representatives of their individual constituency is also compromised.
Therefore, the merit systemand spoils system have different opinions on patronage. In conclusion, patronage can have positive effects on the United States. It can also have negative effects on the United States.The merit system is against patronage and the spoils system is in favor of patronage.Patronage could make the United States stronger or weaker depending on the officials who are elected in office, but it is up to the people to determine who would be honest, loyal, and respectful politicians. The word ‘patronage’ will no longer mean corruption instead it will mean loyalty to all
The adage, “History repeats itself” may seem hackneyed but it is indeed true. Many instances of history show that the powerful can do what they wish. The Monroe Doctrine and the dropping of the Atomic Bomb are just a few of the instances. The strong can do what they wish because they use their wealth, social status, and military prowess to manipulate others. For example, in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby, Tom and Daisy ruthlessly ruin other people’s lives; however, their wealth and high social rank allow them to avoid punishment.
The government, according to Thoreau, is not just a little corrupt or unjust in the course of doing its otherwise-important work, but in fact the government is primarily an agent of corruption and injustice. Because of this, it is "not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize. "[7] Political philosophers have counseled caution about revolution because the upheaval of revolution typically causes a lot of expense and suffering. Thoreau contends that such a cost/benefit analysis is inappropriate when the government is actively facilitating an injustice as extreme as slavery. Such a fundamental immorality justifies any difficulty or expense to bring to an end.
Therefore the conspiracists where pointing fingers in the wrong direction. A lot of situations show that bush and Cheney aren’t smart enough to pull off such a conspiracy. Those who believe that the government conspired to perform the attack in 9/11 are mostly socialists or communists .Liberalists do too which is only expected since they tend to mistrust the government and attach conspiracies to an assumed enemy. Those political views emerge from Marxism which has always viewed those who rule as the bad ones. So to the leftists the agencies are the ones who rule and therefore the bad ones, thus of course they’d have to blame them for 9/11.Some overestimate the US government’s abilities to control damage or underestimate the Arab’s abilities to cause it and accordingly they claim that it must’ve been an inside job since the US agencies didn’t stop it.
After spending the primary season trying to prove they are most in tune with their party, they run for election on the basis of being most in tune with the nation. However, large swaths of the nation are at odds with the social contracts that politician holds with their party (or, otherwise, they would all be members of that party). This sets up the confusing political structure in American culture where politicians must first promise their parties they care strongly about certain issues, then assure the rest of the country that they do not actually care that strongly (Strom 1990). This confusing political structure emerges directly out of the conflicts in the
This is because Creon did not care about morals he wanted to add insult to injury by not burying Polyneices. In our society today we have a fairly good justice system. A group of intelligent people vote on the laws that need to be held up instead of one dictator making the laws that he chooses. Also, if there is ever a question of justice the people who made the laws do not make the punishment or decide whether
If you were a peace loving, freedom minded individual, this could be seen as an appealing position displayed by an honorable senator of the United States Congress. Who wouldn’t want to ensure the continuity of liberty and the freedoms America’s citizens enjoyed? Who wouldn’t want to ensure a future free society void of the overreach of an aggressive Communist or Socialist regime? If this McCarthy era would have focused just on seeking out and removing those who were professed and card-carrying members of the Party, then his crusade may have been successful and he wouldn’t have left the Congress disgraced by his work. Unfortunately, that would not be the case.
