Significance Of The 2000 Florida Presidential Primary
.... winner of the primaries and caucuses.
During the primaries, aspiring candidates for the nomination traditionally begin campaigning in the states that have the earliest primaries. As a result, voters in the states with early primaries receive exaggerated attention from the primary contenders and the news media. In many states, only a party's registered voters can vote in the party primary, which is known as a closed primary. Some states, however, have open primaries, which allow voters to wait until Election Day to choose the party primary that they want to vote in. In these states, a voter can vote whether or not they are a membe .....

How Does A Bill Become A Law?
.... Senate where they make their decisions. This unlimited debate often can pose as a problem since it could cause a practice called filibuster. This means that a Senator could talk a bill to death. To correct this problem, a closure or 3/5's vote is needed and it is very hard to get. Such things like this, are what attribute to the time it takes to pass these bills proposed.
At this time, if the House version is different from the Senate version of the verdict, a Conference Committee from both groups has to get the bill and resolve the differences. A Compromise bill is then sent to House and Senate. If both sides approve the compro .....

The History Of Affirmative Action
....
President Jimmy Carter consolidated all federal agencies that were required by law to follow the affirmative action play into the Department of Labor. Before Carter did this, each agency handled affirmative action in its own individual way, some were not as consistant as other agencies were. He created the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program (OFCCP) in 1978 to ensure compliance with the affirmative action policies.
Affirmative action began to go downhill when Ronald Reagan and later George Bush came into office. Affirmative action lost some gains it had made and was mor or less ignored by the Republicans in the White .....

Supporting The Prohibition
.... of anything more than 0.5 percent, omitting alcohol used for medicinal and sacramental purposes. This act also set up guidelines for enforcement. Prohibition was meant to reduce the consumption of alcohol, and thereby reduce crime, poverty, death rates, and improve the economy and the quality of life. "National prohibition of alcohol (the noble experiment) was undertaken to reduce crime and corruption, solve social problems, reduce the tax burden created by prisons and poorhouses, and improve health and hygiene in America".
If prohibition was not put into effect alcohol abuse and problems would have gotten much worse than be .....

The Political Principles Of Jackson And Jefferson
.... the complete opposite in that respect. He considered himself the administrator, was did Washington, and the legislator. He believed that the veto should be avoided by all cost. Jackson believed that it was a necessary power that the president had a right to use.

.... to set up a navel blockade around Cuba to prevent the ingress of more missiles. It was announced by Kennedy that any attack on the United States from Cuba would be accepted as an attack from the Soviet Union which would trigger nuclear retaliation against Russia's heartland. Khrushchev, the Soviet in charge of the mission, also announced that seizing or sinking a Russian ship on the high seas would be regarded as an act of war by the Kremlin. For six long days Americans stood breathlessly still on the brink of global atomization. On October 28, Khrushchev finally submitted to a partially face saving compromise; he wou .....

Political Process Of Early 1800’s
.... nearly the entire white male American population.
The voting process from the beginning of this country was a horrible thing. It started off with people saying in front of their peers which candidate they were voting for. This made peer pressure a great influence in the voting process. “Vote for the wrong person, get beaten” (that was you, Wood.) Most states changed over to a written ballot where the voter had to write the names of fifteen electors on the ballot. Now this would turn off most voters today and we all write on a daily basis. Think of what people in the early 1800’s who were mostly illiterate must have thought. Most .....

must engage in creative cost cutting techniques to keep the budget under control.
Money afforded to state and local governments for development programs, such as
those which relieve "urban blight," will eventually be cut by two-thirds, a
third more then Gingrich's last congress proposed (Rauch 2). In addition, cuts
to transportation aid will prove fifty percent greater then republican
propositions (Rauch 2). According to Clinton, all of these maneuvers will
result in the lowering of the deficit by $600 billion, or almost one-third by
the year 1998 (progress 1). Economists speculate that .....

Communism In The Soviet Union And Why It Failed
.... be in fewer and fewer hands where the workers would
plunge into a state of ever-increasing misery. These impoverished workers grow
in numbers and organize themselves into a political party which would lead a
revolution in which they dispose of the capitalists. The proletariat would
establish a society governed by a " dictatorship of the proletariat" based on
communal ownership of the wealth. According to Marx this phase of human society
is referred to as socialism. Communism is the final transcendence of this
revolution in which there is a break up and elimination of the state and no
class division. That is the primary re .....
