However the other two will check the one wanting to exceed thus, balancing out the power and securing citizens from a dictatorship type of government. Another reason would simply be when he states, “If men were angles, no government would be necessary.” In other words since we are not angles but are men if we had power in our hands we would abuse it. Then he continues that even though the powers are shared and are equal the government should still be able to control not only the people but, themselves. This will only help protect the people’s individual rights including the minority. In the end he says that in order to have a balanced government the majority must agree on justice.
Pressure groups activity in the UK presents a major threat to democracy. Evaluate the arguments in favour of this view (25 marks) Pressure groups aim to influence government policy without seeking election itself. The actions of pressure groups challenge and influence democracy as well as being beneficial to democracy in the UK as pressure groups challenge policies and put pressure on the government to change them.

DBQ From the 1820’s to the 1830’s the Jacksonian democrats saw themselves as defenders of the constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of the economy; however, one can claim that they did not meet all this criteria. In determining whether this political party did exceed all points stated, one must assess the extent to which society benefitted from Jackson’s regime. Politically, they used class differences to their advantage and emotionalized speeches, lacking real intellectual merit, to stir support. Socially, blacks, women, and Native Americans continued to languish in a society that ignored their rights in a time period that is said to have true liberty and equality. Economically, he dominated the economic structure for his beliefs in the Bank of America being run by the wealthy.
The way technology has driven the last half of a century has changed life astronomically. Everyday people crave and desire the next big thing on the market. Whether it is the hybrid car or touch screen phone, the need for something more leaves room in life for unhappiness when those items are not obtained.

To try and prove these assumptions, the ad shows inserts of highly credible sources such as The Wall Street Journal, and Tax Policy Center to say that he will not give detail on what he will do to the middle class taxes, they say his plans will be forced to raise them. Although this is based on some truth, the ad is not completely based on all truth. I do not think that the ad is completely effective after the facts that have been found. It is because the main dispute on the raising of the middle class families is not completely true; it is what the Democrats think Romney will choose to do. But because Mitt Romney has not told exactly what he plans on doing, the main point of the ad is a
Feeney and Kingsley (2008) explains, “Merit systems—remains the most effective and just means for combating patronageand identifying talented, dedicated public servants and contractors” (p. 165). The merit system is combating patronage by using dedicated public servants and contractors to put an end to corruption in politics. According to Feeney and Kingsley (2008),“Although elected representatives should play an important role in shaping publicpolicy, patronage and the spoils system have no place in achieving the amount and quality of public service that American citizens desire”(p. 163). The spoils system shares the same values that patronage stands for. Therefore, the merit systemand spoils system have different opinions on patronage.

Although this might be true, but according to the video “Beck, Immigration, World Poverty, and Gumballs,” Beck states that the one million immigrants that the US takes every year are the most hardworking, and educated people who are looking for a better life. Moreover, immigrants show their willingness to cooperate in the American notion of nationalism through serving under the American forces, and in 2008, over 65000 of the forgings were serving under the US flag (Gold, 2015). In conclusion, immigration should be considered more as a useful source that could lead the states to a better future, with better economy, more businessmen, and more scientists. In like manner, the government should consider reforming immigration to fix the flaws in immigration laws in order to make more beneficial source. Also, it will allow foreign graduated students which most of them are engineers, scientists, and even businessmen to live and work for the states.
