Government Should Establish Program To Reduce Juvenile Crime
.... offenders in with adults increases their chances offending again when
they are released by 65%. Subpoint 2: SHOCAP, a local crime reduction plan,
was shut down because it was ineffective. Subpoint B: Local plans are too
diverse and lack uniformity. Subpoint 1: A plan that can lift up the entire
country are far superior to those that can only effect small parts.. Iowa may
indeed have smaller problems than New York but Juvenile crime exists everywhere.
Subpoint 2:In the hands of the federal government, a more effective, tax worthy
and moral shaping plan can be spread throughout the entire united states and
benefit the .....

Legislative Proposal For New Indecency Language In Telecom Bill
.... that don't reach even a “
knowingly” standard of liability. As a result, access providers, system
managers and operators, and employers may potentially be liable for actions of
users over which they have no specific knowledge, intent, or control.
For any company that communicates by computer, the proposal:
1) Creates liability for, but never defines, “indecent” speech, a dangerously
vague standard that could leave companies criminally liable for use of mere
profanity;
2) Establishes vague and contradictory standards of liability that could leave
innocent companies vicariously liable for communications over which they have no

Limiting Death Row Appeals
.... row inmates are often on death row for years, some upwards of
twenty years. This puts great financial strain on taxpayers' money. While in
prison, inmates have many privileges, including cable television, the chance to
pursue a college degree, and free health care, all at taxpayers' expense. There
are many law-abiding citizens who don't get these benefits. It is appalling to
think these people have a virtual life of leisure while in prison. There are
some death penalty opponents who believe that convicts don't get enough
privileges and lobby for better living conditions and the rights of the
convicted felons. Los .....

Role Of Mass Media In Politics
.... By the government? By the media speaking for or as directed by the
government? Or has the line between truth and lies been so badly blurred in
politics that we will never know what truly goes on in our political system?
The two movies examined, both play in some way on the function of the
mass media in American politics. We can see how much and how heavily we rely on
our televisions, radio shows, newspapers and now the Internet to communicate to
us the latest breaking news, political campaigns, slandering, commercials for
politicians running for office, debates, presidential addresses, cover-ups,
conspiracies and information .....

Military Governments
.... armed power than anyone in a
state, they have the ability to take over the government at any given time. In
Power and Choice, Shively questions the notion of the infrequency of military
governments. Yes, they are common, but why aren't they more common? The reason
being that as societies advance and become more complex, it is necessary for the
ruling elite to be more knowledgeable of the processes by which a government is
operated. This explains the recurrence of civilian-run governments. The
military may have a few leaders who are skilled politically, but the armed
forces are not customarily trained to run governments. Rec .....

The Influence, And Views Of Netanyahu On The Middle East Peace Plan
.... diplomat he renounced his
American citizenship. In 1996 he became the Prime Minister of Israel. He now has
the most influence from the Israeli side of things. Benjamin Netanyahu has done
many interviews and addresses with the American people. One such interview he
did to express his views was with Time Magazine. Time asked him if he were a
Palestinian, how he would regard toward Netanyahu? He replies, "If I read the
controlled Palestinian media, I would think that, as they call me, I am worse
than Hitler."(Beyer, 1996, p.38) They then asked him if a Palestinian could see
you for what you really are what they would see. He replie .....

Richard Nixon And The Notion Of Presidential Power
.... the future of
the states and of the Union seemed uncertain. Furthermore, as the nation moved
rapidly through the Industrial Revolution, the future of the nation's labor
force and of its general welfare seemed uncertain. As time passed, the nation
would encounter the greatest economic depression of all time, and the challenges
would continue. Our nation would still battle the divisive issues of racism and
discrimination. Yet none of the Presidents who governed during these daring
times exploited the authority of their position in unwarranted manners. The
Nixon Administration would however, exploit its authority and attempt .....

United States V. Nixon, President Of The United States
.... President Nixon's attorneys argued that the District Court was out of
its jurisdiction when it issued the subpoena to Nixon, making the case void.
They stated that the dispute between the President and the Special Prosecutor
was strictly executive, and by mediating them, the court broke the doctrine of
seperation of powers. They also argued with executive privilege, the right of
the President to withold information from Congress. To this, the District Court
said that the judiciary, not the President, was the final arbiter of a claim of
executive privilege. The Court also argued that the Special Prosecutor was
vested powe .....

The United States Of America Vs. Richard M. Nixon
.... committee held by Senator Sam Ervin, Jr., to look into the growing
scandal. Amid the disclosures of White House involvement in the Watergate
break-in and its aftermath, Nixon announced the resignation of two of his
closest advisors and the dismissal of his counsel John W. Dean III. Dean told
the Ervin committee in June that Nixon had known of the cover-up. A month later,
former White House staff member Alexander Butterfield revealed that Nixon had
secretly tape-recorded conversations in his offices. The special prosecutor Cox,
and the Ervin committee attempted to obtain such tapes but the president cited
Executiv .....

Woodrow Wilson And The Presidency
.... when Wilson himself formally addressed Congress. This had a huge
effect on Congress to pass the proposed Underwood Tariff Bill, which provided a
substantial reduction of rates. The new Underwood Tariff substan-tially reduced
import fees. It also was a landmark in tax legislation. Under authority
granted by the Sixteenth Amendment, Congress enacted a graduated income tax. By
1917, revenue from income tax was greatly more than from the tariff and would
continue on this trend for many years.
Next, Woodrow Wilson was determined to conquer the Bankers. The old
banking system had been greatly outgrown by economic expansion. The .....

The United States And National Security, And Dominant Party In Balance Of Power
.... is that nuclear
diplomacy is not separate from other national security measures as it is often
today. Nuclear weapons were part of an integrated system of containment and
deterrence. Truman told Kennen in early 1947 that "our weapons of mass
destruction are not fail-safe devices, but instead the fundamental bedrock of
American security" (Gaddis 56). They were never intended as first strike weapons
and had no real tactical value. The bomb is purely strategic, and its value
comes not from its destructive capabilities, but from its political and
psychological ramifications. Kennen was never naive enough to view the bomb as
an offensi .....

One Man, One Vote?
.... test that you had to fill out
while voting. It would take a long time for each person to vote and I think that
would make people less encouraged to come and vote. Since the only way to link a
vote with a test is to have them on the same paper the voters would have to take
a test every time they voted. Most people want to walk in, vote, and walk out.
They don't want to fill out a test asking them about what they know. For the
people who don't know alot about the election, they don't want to say that when
they vote. If the test was only optional it might work out a little better. The
test would be on the ballot and if you want .....
