Three ways in which parliament are able to scrutinise government are the following. One way parliament carries out its scrutiny function is through Question time of the Prime-minister, which takes place every Wednesday, around 12pm to 12pm. Here MP’s have the opportunity to ask one notified question to the Prime-minister and one supplementary question. These Question times are dominated between the leader of the opposition asking up to five supplementary questions and the Prime-minister forced to answer them with justification and explanation. However, Question time is extended o other ministers, forcing them to answer oral question from other MP’s.
Killing Lincoln The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever At Lincoln’s second inaugural on Saturday, March 4, 1865, the surroundings were hectic as a large crowd stood out in heavy rain, and Vice President Andrew Johnson embarrassed all with a “drunken, twenty-minute ramble.” Lincoln’s genuine plea for reunification was an inspirational relief. Rather quickly we are shown the approach of John Wilkes Booth, who lunged at Lincoln during his speech, later telling the policeman that he’d only, stumbled. O’ Riley then writes that there is “a most powerful evil...bearing down on Abraham Lincoln,”. But, events prove that it was not completely powerful. Booth killed Lincoln, but his own wrong ruined him.

Seemingly the most significant event to my Dad, the Kennedy assassination consumed the majority of the conversation. In the days following Kennedy’s death, he expressed the country to be in a stand still. The mere thought of a president being assassinated seemed to be such an absurd idea that the nation was in shock. Church memorials and the transportation of the President’s body across the country seemed to consume the media for the next few weeks. However, as the United States was recovering from the devastation, they began to worry about their future under Lyndon Johnson.

Analytical Essay On April 25th, a Sunday in 1999, Al Gore addressed the grieving families of the numerous victims of the Columbine High School massacre.

The ten year anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy is nearly upon us, a day that is seared into the memories of everyone who was there or watched it happen on television. The death and destruction on that September morning was unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my life.
