More specifically, this paper will examine the rhetoric of President Jimmy Carter, and the effect his discourse ultimately had on his time in the White House. The historical backdrop of Carter’s presidency is of course instrumental in understanding his rhetoric. However, before examining the speech within the context of history, this paper offers an alternative analysis of his inaugural address. THE GENERIC INAUGURAL: The content of all presidential speeches, inaugural addresses in particular, are inherently subject to the politics that govern the moments in which they are given. These particularities have resulted in much variability in the content of these speeches, and thus make generalizations about them difficult.
Woodrow Wilson in the view of Thomas Bailey Thomas A. Bailey was a well-pronounced writer during his time. He has a two volume set about Woodrow Wilson as the person, president, and politician of his time. The first of the two volumes is Woodrow Wilson and the Lost Peace; and later preceding this book was Woodrow Wilson and the Great Betrayal. The first volume dealt with Woodrow Wilson as a peacemaker in the Paris Peace Conference with the other varying countries that were also included in the war. Thomas A. Bailey’s next book shows Wilson and how the United States betrayed him and his efforts, and the Treaty of Versailles, which included the League of Nations he tried to shape.
Quiz 1 Question #1: Compare and Contrast JFK and IKE. Both Eisenhower and JFK were affected to various degrees by the previous administrations of FDR and Harry S. Truman. Kennedy’s leadership style adhered more closely to that of FDR than did Ike’s.While there were similarities, the individual leadership styles of these two presidents could not have been more different. Their basic forms of leadership can be broken down into formal and informal styles and their foreign policy being based upon either a symmetric or asymmetric approach. The purposes of the two presidents were broadly reflected in the adoption of their various policy decisions, as well as their individual responses to the issues of their particular administrations.
This election has touched on multiple sociological issues ranging from gender, with vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, to the state and direction of our current economy (the “recession” crises), to other such sociological issues as religion, class, and even national security. From a sociological perspective, 2008 presidential election poses many questions, with one of those questions being “How would some of the founding fathers of Sociology, such as Marx, Weber, or Durkheim, evaluate the 2008 U.S. Presidential election?” I believe all three of these men would have much to say about this election, both the end result of it, Obama’s historical win, as well as the presidential race itself. Though all three of these men have long passed, through their texts and teachings, I hope to give voice to these men, and give the analysis and insight they would have given, if they would have lived to experience this election themselves. Had the great Karl Marx lived long enough to experience the 2008 presidential election, I believe he would have voted for Barack Obama, and would have viewed this
Various scholars categorize leadership styles in a different way. Lewin (1939) classifies leadership styles in three categories: Autocratic Leadership, Democratic Leadership and Delegative (Laissez-Faire). Charismatic leadership process is seen as a compound product of three factors: The leader and his attributes, the social situation which demands for such a leader and the interaction between the leader and his followers. I would like to identify President Barack Obama as a charismatic leader and explain his charismatic leadership with an example of his leadership in his first mandat. Leadership Transformational-charismatic Before the election, President Barack Obama attracted the attention of American's and foreigners alike with a seemingly charismatic nature.
Federalists and Anti-Federalists In the early 19th century, two men fought for what they believed was right and their thoughts on how to govern the nation and its people. Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson had many confrontations and disputes about whether their political view of government was best fitting to the society. Hamilton was the secretary of treasury, a founding father, one of the significant figures in finding the constitution, and founded the very first political party. Jefferson was the author of the Declaration of Independence, the third president of the Unites States, the secretary of state, a founding father, and alongside Hamilton founded the first political party. These two founding fathers would construct one of the famous documents in the history of the world and represent a rivalry that will further enable parties to fight for what they believe is constitutional.
3. Critically assess how the personality of presidents impacts on the development and implementation of U.S. foreign policy. As the Executive branch of the United States Government the President holds the position of Commander in Chief of all military factions. With and within these sections of the military the president can enforce the most influential life-affirming or potentially catastrophic courses of action as stipulated by decisions of foreign policy. Whilst there are operating guidelines within which the president must follow, mainly the joint co-ordination and approval of Congress, to construct and enact (Hastedt, p169, 2009) these policies, going to war being the most significant, there are a number of tactics to overcome constitutional restraint.

The Electoral College is the complex method by which the United States of America elects its president. While conducive to the political environment of the Founding Fathers, elections in the United States have changed dramatically since that time, and thus the Electoral College has outlived its usefulness in American politics. The Electoral College was established at a time where communications technology was limited, and thus the founders had to consider the potential of an uninformed electorate. In addition, states have altered the method by which electoral votes are allocated. The Electoral College also unequally apportions electoral votes due to the significant population increase since it was established.
So a chosen few were helped make this conceivable, the Founding Fathers. The principal Founding Father and furthermore known as our first President would be George Washington. Other than him being most fit for the main leader of the United States, there are such a significant number of more explanations behind his commitment to the Constitution. He had understanding from the Revolutionary War, and from that it persuaded Washington that over the top worries for states' rights and states purview would be deadly to a successful national government. He was at that point understanding that states' rights were essential which winds up noticeably crucial when choosing our new government for the United States.
