Hamilton established a plan that consisted of paying off all war debts (including state debts), raising government revenues, and creating a national bank. Problems arose over repayment of state debts. Many Southern states had already repaid their war debts and did not think it was fair to ask them to help pay the Northern states’ debts. When Hamilton established a national bank, many constituents were happy because a national bank would give the government a safe place to keep money, make loans to the government and businesses, and issue bank notes. However, Hamilton’s plan showed that there were differences on how to interpret the Constitution.
Rome 3. Caesar was born on July 13, 100 BC and died on March 15, 44 BC. I believe his death would have been the same because people still betray their friends if it means that they will have power. 4. Brutus was born in June of 85 BC and died in October of 42 BC.
Previous attempts at federal bankruptcy laws had lasted at most a few years. This act was drastically amended by The United States Bankruptcy Act of 1938, known as the Chandler Act, expanded voluntary access to the bankruptcy system and made voluntary petitions more attractive to debtors. The Chandler Act gave authority to the Securities and Exchange Commission in the administration of bankruptcy filings. One effect of the Act was to remove investment banks from control of the corporate reorganization process by eliminating the equity receivership technique. In its place, a trustee was appointed by the bankruptcy court to oversee the reorganization process.
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.
He purchased it on credit along with a partner. While economy was booming in the region the business struggle and Lincoln eventually sold his share of the business. When his partner died.

“He ran for pontifex maximus… Caesar won by a comfortable margin. As a result, Caesar’s political career left him heavily in debt” (Keko). After the bona dea scandal, Caesar was forced to divorce Pompeia (as mentioned before) to sustain his reputation he had built so far. Still in debt, Caesar aligned with Crassus to pay his debts in return for political support and securely “assumed the governorship of Spain”. Now at 60BC, Caesar, Crassus and Pompey had secured an uncomfortable alliance – the First Triumvirate - but was necessary for any future
Before judging how vigorously Cicero defended the republic we must establish what he actually did in an attempt to defend the republic. Between 55 BC and 52 BC Cicero was largely out of politics however he was called upon to govern Cilicia in 51 BC to help establish a newly passed law that stated there must be a five-year gap between holding office and taking up a provincial command. Though perhaps the greatest act was his passive opposition to Caesar in order to stay loyal to Pompey and thus the republic as Caesar himself was a reformer. Cicero very rarely liked being out of Rome, even hated being out of Rome at points; he intended to be where the political action was –in Rome. However when he was called upon to govern Cilicia after
Reelected to the U.S. Senate in 1795, he served only a year before he was appointed as Minister to Great Britain (1796-1803). King's years in this post were difficult ones in Anglo-American relations. The wars of the French Revolution endangered U.S. commerce in the maritime clashes between the French and the British. The latter in particular violated American rights on the high seas, especially by the impressment of sailors. Although King was unable to bring about a change in this policy, he smoothed relations between the two nations.
t was in late July that a representative from a public radio talk show asked me to take part in a program on “all the insanity about the twenty-fifth anniversary.” He didn’t have to say the twenty-fifth anniversary of what, but I still didn’t know what he was getting at. It seemed to me that in 2002, twenty-five years after Elvis Presley’s death, and more than two years after the last interesting Elvis impersonator, Bill Clinton, had left his stage, the real story was the evaporation of Elvis Presley in American life. What was striking, given the staggering ubiquity of Elvis Presley after his death, was his disappearance from ordinary talk, paintings, movies, t-shirts, other people’s songs—from the cultural conversation through which a society explains itself to itself. The commemoration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of August 16, 1977 seemed more than anything a media mirage churned up by Graceland smoke machines. A Graceland spokesman had recently discussed the problem facing the operation: if Elvis Presley was indeed immortal, his fans were not.
The Roman Republic was facing internal problems that would cause it to ultimately collapse into the Roman Empire. Including social unrest between the classes and military entering into politics, among other reasons, the Roman Republic crumbled under itself and gave way to the beginning of new government. A second triumvirate ended with civil war and the Republic was over; however, Octavian created the Roman Empire in its place. Because of the stabilizing government, strong legal system and increasing trade, the Pax Romana was able to remain tied together for about 210 years. The Roman Republic was struggling to remain in power but the social unrest was a not a helping factor in helping the Republic to last for a while longer.
