pag.). By using a juxtaposition, its shows Adams’ credibility by building up logos and pathos. By using pathos and logos, it brings an emotional and logical appeal to the readers and makes them feel and think that a free government is better than a monarchy because they are allowed to have a say in what happens in the country. It shows in a free government, more people get a choice in the decisions in the government and what happens where in a monarchy, one person has reign over every decision that is made. It helps Adams’ purpose to help lead the readers to believe in what he is saying and that they believe that a free government is better than a monarchy.
Citizens should be encouraged to embrace their citizenship, and not merely as a duty, but as a meaningful opportunity to participate in their own government for the sake of common good and in building the culture of life. In addition, it is an exercise of significant individual power. Now, most Americans will tell you that our politicians have all the power, but I disagree. Although it is true that our politicians do make the laws, here in the United States of America, the people have the authority. If an individual does not vote, then that individual cannot argue or comment on the outcome of what our politicians do.
I think the judicial system should not be in politics. Although NC has used the merit system for years, in my opinion appointed judges would be more appropriate. This would remove citizens from the judicial selection process in favors of an unelected and unaccountable committee. Rather a committee of unelected legal elites will take the politics out of judicial selections and provide a better Judiciary in the state. Electing judges the way North Carolina does certainly has its disadvantages.
Thomas Gordon argued against this because he thought that if anyone would know how the government worked, it would be the private men. They would be the people who were directly impacted by the laws enacted and executed by the government. All people, therefore, should have the opportunity to have a say in what goes on in the government. The second concern for the Founders was to what extent the people should be involved in the government. Although the people had a right to be involved in the government, the author of Caesar No.
If something goes wrong, blame it on the president. This is something that is done all too often and it's not only the president that makes decisions it is the whole part together. The process of checks and balances is designed to keep each system "in check" and make sure that they are not abusing their power. No one person is to blame; it is a process in which more than one is involved. The Executive Branch is given the power to carry out the laws and one of its primary powers is the ability of the president to veto such proposed laws.
In the spirit of selfish self interest, the majority in a state will vote on implementing laws that favor the majority population without considering how it will affect the minority population. Someone has to step in and protect the minority’s interests and check any sort of discrimination directed to them. In this case the only people with the legal power to do so are the legislators and the government, even if it means facing majority outcry in the process. Oversimplifying an important public policy into a multiple choice decision, as earlier stated, might not result in the implementation of public laws. When voting in referendums, it is doubtful that most of the people voting have a complete idea on the decision they are making.
Or should I say the unlimited power that is given. The government has set limitations to what they could tax and how much, however two of these limits were open to interpretation: providing for common defense and general welfare. The government becomes its own judge and jury while establishing these criteria, because the budget for common defense is set by the government, as well as the standard for what the general welfare is. As the Constitution says all laws set by the government become "supreme law of the land". The language used in itself is that of a monarchy and did not sit well with
For example, there are multiple reasons why I disagree with Ambrose Bierce’s quote: “Un-American, adj. Wicked, intolerable, heathenish.” First of all, in this country, all citizens are entitled to their own opinions. Second, just because some don’t agree with other’s opinions doesn’t give them the right to declare them wrong. And also, even someone doing the bare minimum is still doing something to help. In the United States of America, the people are protected by a group of laws called the Constitution.
Limited government's responsibility and gave the individual convinced rights that neither the government nor majority could infringe on. The Constitution was initially written without the Bill of Rights and many Founding Fathers would not sign it since they feared that the federal government would be too powerful. It is important because each citizen should know the background of each rule in their country and the history between the decisions that the leaders and politicians made through the past. In conclusion, the bill of rights has a huge importance and impact in the life of an US citizen. It l help you to be politically active; helps to address significant issues and show the history of the systems through decisions as giving the states more defined rights.
Readers could argue that Twain’s main point of the novel was to be offensive. But either way, he did just that. Times have changed and that word has no longer become an acceptable word for people to use. Most African American students grew up being taught that it was a horribly offensive word, and to never use it. So with that being said, many students could feel uncomfortable hearing it at school.
