The best president in U.S history I believe is Abraham Lincoln. Abe Lincoln deserved to be the best president because he led his country through the civil war, abolished slavery by issuing the emancipation proclamation, and by issuing the emancipation proclamation the north gained British support. Abe created an economic development program, which began when the country was bankrupt and made the United States the world’s greatest industrial power. I believe that the 2nd best president is George Washington. Washington led the revolutionary war which began the birth of a new nation which goes under foreign policy, helped with the constitution that had much to do with equal rights, and dealt with the whiskey rebellion.
To conclude, President Johnson set the stage for a period of immense federal reform and a shared sense of equality for the American people – a pinnacle of liberalism. Although his decisions caused a rift with the conservatives of the time as they extended the reach of government and expanded its role in tending to the wellbeing of its citizens, he ultimately managed to successfully move the nation forward towards a better
When evaluating the arguments raised on both sides it I believe that the Electoral College should be replaced by a national popular vote. An argument that exposes the weakness of the Electoral College and why it should be replaced by a national popular vote is because the ‘winner takes all’ system distorts the results of the elections. There have been various results in which the popular vote did not reflect the results of the Presidential election. A notorious example of how distorted results can be under the Electoral College is that of Bush and Al Gore in 2000. Though Al Gore won the popular vote by 48.4% Bush won the votes of the Electoral College which resulted in him winning the Presidential election.
In the process, they could hold back a number of potential rebellions and create a consensus of popular support for the rule of a new, privileged leadership.When we look at the American Revolution this way, it was a work of genius, and the Founding Fathers deserve the awed tribute they have received over the centuries. They created the most effective system of national control devised in modern times, and showed future generations of leaders the advantages of combining paternalism with command. 2. According to Zinn, how did the creation of the United States benefit the upper class? They created a world where a few families owned most of the wealth.
William Howard Taft was nominated by the support of Republicans and the conservative wing. Since Theodore Roosevelt failed to receive the Republican nomination, TR and his supporters formed the Progressive Party, (nicknamed the "Bull Moose Party") so he was chosen as its candidate for President. Eugene V. Debs, knows as a American Union leader and founding member of the International Labor Union and the Industrial Workers of the World, was a nominee of the Socialist Party. The fourth runner in this election was Woodrow Wilson, supporter of the Democratic Party. He was nominated on the ballot thanks to the support of William Jennings Bryan, a three-time Democratic presidential candidate.
Frances Perkins believed that this illness changed Roosevelt's personality and in doing so, made him into a better man. Although confined to a wheelchair, Roosevelt returned to politics in 1928 to help his friend, Alfred Smith, in his unsuccessful attempt to beat Herbert Hoover in the presidential election. The following year Roosevelt was elected as governor of New York. From a lot of influence of others turnt Roosevelt into one of America’s most progressive politicians. The Wall Street Crash in October 1929, created the worst depression in American history.
The conflict began in 1783 when Burr moved to New York and rose to prominence as one of the best lawyers around. Competition with Hamilton, who was also a lawyer, quickly arose as they struggled for the city’s best legal cases and became fast rivals. Burr’s career as a politician began in 1784 when New York governor (and future vice president) George Clinton appointed him as attorney general of New York. Eventually, he was voted to serve as a senator, which is when he became a diehard Democratic-Republican, opposing the Federalist Party of which Hamilton was a proud member of. He went on to run for vice-presidency under
My Grandfather, a die hard Democratic, believes that Bill Clinton was the best president we have ever had, but he thought maybe Mr. Clinton came out a little arrogant. Again, I was curious as to what he could be talking about. So I read an article in the New York Times, Campaign Collapse, When Destiny Failed, Peter Baker and Jim Rutenberg describe a situation where President Clinton was found yelling at campaign personnel. In this situation Senator Clinton had just lost the primary in North Carolina and they were waiting for results of the Indiana Primary, when a vote counting delay threatened her opportunity to give a primetime victory speech. President Clinton was yelling
This was going to far; this was socialism, the opposition shouted. whether it was or not, it saved capitalism from complete collapse. It also inaugurated some of the finest reforms in the history of the United States. It was inspiring to see how quickly the American citizen reacted to constructive
The Modern Presidency What were the key reasons behind FDR being elected the 32th President of the United States? During its year of existence the United States had seen 43 Presidents, governing its citizens created policies with the exception of Barack Obama makes him the 44th President but has not finished his term in office. But nonetheless in 1933 a man with views and a character different than his predecessors won the trust of millions of America in which at a point had no hope. His name was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, his willingness to bring the U.S. out of a financial turmoil and establish it as the most powerful nation on the earth was not only admired by Americans citizens but across the world. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) or just known as FDR was the 32nd President of the United States of America (1933-1945).
