Population Control In China
.... some people misunderstood the law. They thought they could be put in jail if they had a second child. This misinterpretation caused many people to use any way they could to hide or get rid of a second child. However, now everyone knows and understands how important that law was. Some of the young couples would rather adopt babies from the orphanage or from some poor family.
I‘v heard about a lot of horrible things from American people about how the Chinese government forces people to have an abortion to get rid of the second baby. When my mom was in the army, she was one of the people who work for the office of popula .....

.... for their livelihood. Welfare, especially women's welfare, encompasses a very broad category; at present all safeguards given by women by various government agencies according to their sphere of responsibility and the concept of equality of the sexes can be considered women's welfare measures.

There are five main reasons why the issue of women and welfare need t .....

Egyptian Politics: The Fiction Of A Multiparty System
.... in public affairs.
The multiparty system in Egypt is essentially one of party formation from the top. This type of polity is one in which a strong executive authority directly determines the parameters of multiparty activity in political society. For example, the Egyptian government can refuse to license a new political party if it violates any one of the following general principles: preserving national unity, safeguarding the social peace, adhering to the Constitution, defending the 'socialist gains,' or protecting the 'alliance of the working class.' This type of top-down polity is a direct outgrowth of the authoritarian tra .....

Social Welfare And Its Effects
.... the beginning of social policy.
Egyptian social welfare was based on both the economic need for workers and the religious need for life after death (Day, 1997, p.65). Most of us assume that centralized planning and coordination of social policy is a modern day invention. Yet. according to Day, centralized planning and coordination specifically, careful provision of food supplies was a fundamental part of the social welfare effort in early Egyptian Society.
Other societies also developed, and land size, religious beliefs, and population size were factors that accounted for how social policy was developed and .....

Is The Unites States Political System A Legitimate Democracy?
.... some aspects, and illegitimate in others. Because voting is class-biased, it may not be classified as a completely legitimate process. Although in theory the American system calls for one vote per person, the low rate of turnout results in the upper and middle classes ultimately choosing candidates for the entire nation. Income and education determine class, and differing levels of these two factors can help explain why class bias occurs. For example, because educated people tend to understand politics more, they are more likely to vote. People with high income and education also have more resources, and poor people tend to ha .....

The Constituion
.... even in the early colonies, like Plymouth, which was formed by Puritan dissenters from England seeking religious freedom. Roger Williams, the proprietor of Rhode Island, probably made an even larger contribution to this tradition by advocating and allowing complete religious freedom. William Penn also contributed to this idea in Pennsylvania, where the Quakers were tolerant of other denominations.
In addition to the tradition of religious tolerance in the colonies, there was a tradition of self-government and popular involvement in government. Nearly every colony had a government with elected representatives in a legislature, w .....

Johnson took his place and the struggle of America’s bloodiest cold war.

Scottish Nationalism And Devolution
.... a thought as to if devolution will be Scotland’s future. If devolution does occur, then one must think to themselves, is this a good idea? Is this going to affect the United Kingdom’s political system that is intricately in place between Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland? What happens to investment? What happens to the people of the land? Where has this new found glorification within Scotland come from?
In the following essay, I will hope to have questions to these answers. In order to find the answers one may be looking for, we must first examine the political system established in the UK that currently exist .....

The Higher Education Act Is Unfair To Students
.... Wolf was convicted of possession of less than one gram of marijuana. This conviction caused the former Western Carolina University student to withdraw from college because he could not afford to pay tuition and book fees without federal aid. In February of 1999 James Wolf was convicted of delivery of one kilogram of cocaine. When asked why he was dealing in cocaine, he replied, " I was trying to raise money to finish college." It looks like James will be studying in prison now.
Now I ask you, " Does this law seem fair?" I do not think so. Now is the time to let congress know being tough on students is not the way to loo .....

Nixon knew that Hoover was very important because he would not let anything leak out that should not have. Nixon had several meetings with all of his intelligence officers to see what exactly was going on and what was being investigated. Nixon even began to .....

In Article one of the constitution it states the government’s intentions state income tax is not apportioned, it can only be classified as an indirect tax. The united states has ruled that the income tax is an indirect excise tax, imposed on privileged activity. The cases of Brushaber vs Union Pacific RailroadCo. and Flint vs Stone Tracy Co. (American Myth) are two Supreme Court cases that have never been overturned. Again from a legal encyclopedia it is recorded that the right to own property can only be taxed with a direct tax.

.... on July 2nd with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is historically significant because it stands as a defining piece of civil rights legislation, being the first time the national government had declared equality for blacks. The civil rights movement was a campaign led by a number of organizations, supported by many individuals, to end discrimination and achieve equality for American Blacks (Mooney 776).
