Guam is well known to be a strategic military location in the Pacific. Also, Guam must follow the United States federal government, but we are not allowed to vote for federal officials. We must be under the control whoever the U.S. citizens of the 50 states vote for. We are still allowed to have a local government, its just that whatever decisions are made must be approved by U.S.
Baseerah Watson 01/31/2012 Harrisburg Speech I have a question? Have you had enough with inequality? Crowd Responds* Have you had enough with inadequate funding? Crowd Responds* It is evident that the time has come in the era of public education for students from across this vast state, from all walks of life and respective backgrounds, to come together in solidarity against the budget cuts. These cuts have been detrimental to our futures and to our lives.
One is the state federal relation--should states continue to charter and supervise banks or would an all-inclusive national banking system be preferable? While monetary economists and central-banking experts are virtually unanimous in their support of a unified national banking system, the political issue is a bitter one of long standing and there is probably no chance of abolition of the existing dual state-federal system short of another major crisis. Under the circumstances, action to abolish the dual state-federal system is not considered here, though this may be a practical requisite of the other changes considered. There would, however, be obvious, important monetary policy advantages in compulsory Federal Reserve membership for all banks, or at least in application of standard Federal Reserve requirements against deposits at all banks. Actually, Federal Reserve membership would be of secondary importance if common reserve requirements were made applicable, and this step could be accomplished for practical purposes within the limits of existing federal powers and without infringing on other aspects of state supervisory jurisdiction.
Checks and Balances The system of checks and balances is part of our constitution. This system guarantees that no part of the government can become too powerful. Each branch is made sure that the power of the other branches is balanced between them. (Kelly, 2011) The Legislative Branch is given the power to make the laws as far as the Executive Branch, they are given the power to care out those laws, and the Judicial Branch is given the power to construe the laws. Together they have achieved to a workable balance with no branch possessing more power than the rest.
If a judge is a loose constructionist they are more likely to interpret the constitution in a liberal fashion. However, if a judge is a strict constructionist it means they will interpret the constitution very strictly. They will derive and apply rules from
The constitutional and federal law grants the executive branch all the power necessary to meet current and future challenges. The strength of the executive branch is leveraged against the strengths of the legislative and judicial branches of the federal government to ensure the equilibrium of power. It is this constitutional design that the Founding Fathers envisioned would protect the government from tyrannical rule in 1787, and is the same design that will continue to protect the United States throughout the complex challenges of the current strategic environment of the 21st century and
There is not any known government to my knowledge, that operates better than the system that the United States operates on today. As stated above, the target that the Framers had in mind when creating the Constitution, was to prevent the problems that the Articles presented, along with those of the British Parliament. The division of powers system that our government operates on, prevents any form or branch of our government to become to powerful. This allows for the fluidity and efficiency of our governmental system. Not only does the division of power system produce efficiency, it provides satisfaction to its citizens, and other countries.
The Cartel The Cartel shows the educational system like we have never seen it before. The Documentary shed the light on what are the problems with the U.S education and also showed what is causing these problems. It shows what happens when our schools are not doing their job. America spends too much money in education; the government gives billion of dollars every year to the public school districts. But even with all that funding they are not seeing very good results.
Also, some districts claim their primary concern is open enrollment programs lack ‘financial’ ability to offset costs associated with hiring additional teachers and staff members (Fowler, 1996). Clearly tax savings are not enough to justify continuance with open enrollment programs, which is evident by the six percent loss in the number of students grades 1–12 attending school in their own residential attendance from 1993 to 2003. Residential Zone Open Enrollment 80% 78% 76% grades 1-12 74% 72% 70% 1993
Each state has federal laws in place to regulate tests, curriculum, how much funding each school receives, to scholarship, and grants. What is wrong with this is that there is a conflict between federal, state , and school boards about what agendas are important; a student can be a C average in one state or school and move to another where they are on the honor role, I know of this first hand. Another problem is that federal and state government prevents poorer schools from receiving the funding they need to help their students improve academically. Because of the lack of funding for much needed improvements and resources, the poorer schools also have the worst performance ratings. Creating this bigger gap in funding only hinders a school from achieving academic excellence and eventually causes teachers to lose jobs and schools to shut down.
