Is Congress a watchdog or lapdog? Personally, I believe that Congress is a watchdog, whether it is a united or a divided government. However, many people may disagree with this because they may believe that whether or not the Congress is a watchdog or lapdog depends on the government being divided or united. The reason for this is: if it is a united government, Congress will not want to embarrass the President by constantly putting him into account. However, this is not true because the Congress is both an independent and co-equal branch of Government.
As a member of the American Female Moral Reform Society, Sarah Ingraham was dedicated to eliminate all prostitution in the United States. However, she did not only criticize women for being prostitutes, but felt men were equally at fault. She was the editor of The Advocate of Moral Reform, the first American newsletter which was run entirely by women. The paper often printed stories about girls who were seduced by men who later left them. The paper referred to prostitutes as sisters and Men were usually depicted as the wrongdoers.
Each of my arguments revolves around the idea that the British were unfair towards their treatment of the colonists, which compels me to justify the Colonists quarrel against the British. My first argument states that there were no representatives in Parliament. The Colonists refers strictly to the British who moved to the New World, in Daniel Dulany considerations it states that “a tax imposed by Parliament, is a tax with out [the Colonists’] consent” (October 1765) Therefore, no Colonist represented Parliament because all the Colonists were in the New World. However, Jenyns’ rebuttal states “Parliament may have the power to impose taxes on the Colonies [but] they have no right to use it, beause it would be an unjust tax” (1765). I do not think this qualifies as a just statement because Parliament only composed of British representatives, and no Colonist representatives, therefore, no Colonist could back up their viewpoint or dispute any taxes enforced, only the British would have say in what would be a just or unjust tax.
How Immigrants Changed America Even though there are policies and regulations to prevent the influx of illegal immigrants in the United States; why are they not being enforced or do the people feel that illegal immigration should be ignored in the United States? Everyone in the United States of America is an immigrant or has descended from immigrants. The Constitution of the United States begins: “We the People of the United States…” Nonetheless, we know the United States was not and then and is not now made up of a single group of people. It is made up of many peoples. Immigration is defined as action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country; Migration is defined as the act or process of moving from one region or country to another; Populating is defined as a place with permanent residents or becoming a permanent resident in a place; and An immigrant is defined as an act of entering a new country to settle permanently the act of moving to or establish yourself in another country or region, temporarily or permanently.
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.
Clearly, this leaves the application of the law open to the officer’s interpretation and own personal judgment. In return, this puts many American citizens at risk. Someone may look like a citizen from Mexico and be a US born citizen with every right to be in the US. Why should that individual be questioned and required to produce immigration documents because he or she does not have blond hair or
“Its your civic duty to serve our country” that’s what every American has ever heard but when is it our civic duty to sleep with one eye open? Since when is it right to hide a knife under your pillow? To be afraid of people who are supposed to be protecting you? Well that’s what’s going on in the United States army if its not enough that the people in other countries are getting raped like us but the fact that brave women who decide to fight for our country are getting raped and blamed for this every single day. Its against the military code of conduct to have any sexual relationship while over seas with anyone so when a women is raped most of the time the military personnel believe that it’s the women’s way of getting out of trouble for having sex since the penalty for any sexual relation ship is being demoted a rank, losing a stripe or being relocated.
Throughout its colonization America had develop into its own society. It realized that it can handle and manage it’s own economy. What their economy was capable of gave Americans confidence to break free from British rule but it wasn’t the tipping factor. The British angered American colonists with their actions and behavior towards them. The British treated Americans indifferently when they were actually the same country.
We, the Colonists, sincerely wish to address the issue of the Stamp Act and our response to it. We are Englishmen, and despite being across the ocean, we are still under the rule of His Majesty. This means that we are entitled to the same rights as Englishmen who live in England. That said, it is unfair that we are being taxed by Parliament; they do not represent us for they are in England and they do not consider us when making such laws, even if they say so. Our taxes are gifts to His Majesty, and to force us to give the gift is inappropriate.
