In most cases severity of the shutdown is reflecting by how long it lasts. The longest shutdown in history stands at 21 days versus the shortest in history lasting only 9 hours (Earl). One of the biggest effects of a federal shutdown is the lack of pay to those non-essential federal workers that are sent home without pay during the shutdown (Government). However, the longer the shutdown lasts “the more likely its impact will be felt” (Government). This meaning that the longer the federal shutdown lasts, the more federal workers will be sent home and put without a paycheck for until the problem is resolved.
The people didn’t have a choice whether or not to elect a new leader. In the movie, the High Chancellor rules the United Kingdom as a totalitarian state, meaning there are no limits to his authority and he tried to control every aspect of the people’s life that he possibly can. Democracy is the only real form of government that gives the people liberty and equality. Democracy gives people rights, like the right to vote. With the Chancellor’s totalitarian rule, the people had no rights and no way to vote him or any other officials out of office.
enemies during wartime. However, the “War of Terror” was never officially declared a war, making it void to use as a reason to convict Charles Schenk. What if the “War on Terror” was officially declared a war? In that case, it would be valid to charge Charles Schenck of violating the Espionage Act. This claim can be supported by the Debs v. United States case, which took time during World War I. Eugene V Debs held a speech praising those who refused to serve in the military and obstructed recruitment - as a result he was sentenced ten years in prison.
Brandon Warren November 3, 2013 Jackson Free Response APUSH Tyrant: One who uses their power to impose their will on the people, with no regard for law or ethics, a despot or dictator. Andrew Jackson’s presidency is commonly seen as one of blatant disregard for checks and balances, law, and the Constitution in general. However, Jackson did nothing that would fall outside of presidential jurisdiction, or that would be considered unconstitutional. Jackson was not a tyrant running roughshod over the Constitution, because he followed checks and balances, and the constitutional rights of the president when he signed the South Carolina Force Bill, when he vetoed the bank charter, and when he removed Native Americans in the Deep South.
One of our Army generals, Alexander, said this program threatened 54 terrorist attacks but all in reality it only stopped one. The people in congress do not want to look soft on terrorism so they say nothing about all these underhanded tactics. So the government has been spying on us for many years and not telling us one thing about it. This is treading on our civil liberties while we just sit back and let it happen.

Death Penalty Nearly half of Americans say that the death penalty is not imposed often enough (Newport). Yet the number of executions in America continues to drop. There was about half the number of executions in 2009 than 1999 (Thornburgh). Some say that the death penalty should not be used at all because we are not sure if the person is guilty. In fact, the death penalty needs to be imposed more often because it prevents the murders of innocent people, and the punishment should fit the crime.
It is very obvious from the way Hamilton Spoke in Federalist no. 78 that he didn’t take a care for the judicial system because it doesn’t affect what he is most concerned with, which is the wealth of society. In all actuality I think the Federalist Founders would be surprised by the judicial system if they could see it present day 2012. I think the Founders would be very shocked at how the Supreme Court creates the standard procedure for everyone else in the United States. 1788 which was the year that Hamilton wrote Federalist no.
President of the Correction Officers Union, Norman Seabrook states, “As a law enforcement officer for over 20 years, I understand the importance of instituting a new policy on mandating the limits of bullets that a regular citizen can possess, but as a matter of fact, the bad guys are not going to follow this law. The way the current legislation is drafted, it actually handcuffs the law enforcement community from having the necessary ammunition needed to save lives,” he said. “We must not allow this to happen. You can’t give more ammo to the criminals.” In New York City, police officers, federal agents, prison guards, state police and other members of law enforcement are pursuing a means of justice that will allow all state's law enforcement officers to continue with 10 and 15 bullet magazines for their guns since they need the extra firepower should they ever confront a Newtown Connecticut situation (recent school
“Can you name one law that would keep guns out of the hands of criminals” (Webster)? Assault Weapons Ban: “Handguns are used in about 90% of all firearm murders” (Webster). No legitimate study in the U.S. has ever shown that gun control has any positive impact on crime. People want to believe gun control will reduce crime, but the truth is that gun control will never work. History has shown that gun control will never work.
For instance, the criminal will think twice before killing for fear of receive the strongest punishment. Death penalty actually is not an effective crime deterrent. This is because majority of people do not anticipate they will be caught. Some states in the United State such as New York, Hawaii, Alaska and Michigan do not use the death penalty had proved they had lower murder rate than the states that do. For example in 2004, crimes rate for states do not use the death penalty had 4.08 murders per 100000 inhabitants compare to states use death penalty had 6.32 murders per 100000 inhabitants.
