The People's Choice?
.... views. However, if a candidate must run alone, there will be a much clearer idea of where exactly each candidate stands on various issues.
Secondly, by choosing the Vice President through this method, there will be a dissemination through party lines. The position of President is the single most important that a member of any party can hold, but with a Vice president of a possible separate party there is a large chance that Americans will focus less on party lines and more on specific candidates. Eventually, this will trickle down to other election held along party lines (of which almost all are). By Changing presidential elec .....

Russia And US International Relations
.... power repels and leads other states to balance against it." With this quote and the distress of the Soviet Republics in mind, the new hegemony that the United States was experiencing would be short lived. A new crisis emerged from the Soviet Republics that threatened the security of the United States. Robert J. Art argues that one of the main objectives for the United States is to protect the homeland from destruction, and the prime threat to this objective is the spread of nuclear weapons. Because of the poor economic status of the Soviet Republics, they are unable to secure their own nuclear arsenal and stockpiles, wh .....

The Central Intelligence Agency
.... on a country, organization, movement, or person. Using this method, the CIA evaluates and interprets information from its agents and researchers. It uses a lot of technical devices such as electronic eavesdropping equipment and also performs counterespionage. This prevents the theft of secret information and detects the presence of spies in the United States. Some think the history of espionage goes back to prehistoric times. The bible tells of Moses sending spies into Canaan. Frederick the Great of Prussia is credited with originating organized espionage. George Washington's spies obtained intelligence and information d .....

The Presidio Trust
.... (Base Realignment and Closures) commission and thus began the transfer of property to the National Park Service. In June of 1995 the Sixth U.S. Army marched out the Presidio, ending almost 219 years of military presence in the city.
By September 30, 1995 all Army Facilities were transferred to the National Park Service.
The Presidio trust is the first of its kind in the United States. With the closing of many military bases this seems to be an effective allocation of the land. But as with any National Park the Presidio has its fair share of problems. The main on being the extensive cleanup that was needed to restore the l .....

Economic Impact Of Canadian Telecommunications Legislation
.... not surprising that Canadians are among the biggest users of telecommunications in the world. For example, in 1990, Canadians made more than three billion long-distance calls (Dept. of Communications, 1992, p8).
Innovations made possible through telecommunications have also contributed significantly to the phenomenal growth of the Canadian telecommunications industry. For example, the total value of the major telephone companies' investment in their facilities rose from $17.8 billion in 1979 to $40.3 billion in 1990. In the same year, Canadian telecommunications companies reported more than $15 billion in revenues, account .....

The Presidential Election Of 2000
.... This plan also calls for the dismantling of the Internal Revenue Service, one of Forbes' chief adversaries. He is in favor of a Tax Limitation Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment would make it extremely hard for Congress to raise taxes. Like many other Republicans, he supports the end of the marriage tax and with his plan, there would be no separate tax on savings, pensions, and capital gains.
Bush's opinions on this subject are very different than Forbes'. On 1 December 1999 he unveiled his "tax plan for every American." These cuts, which will total $483 billion over five years, leave $103 billion of the $506 .....

The Jury System
.... the Modern Mind, 1930. "
A lot of verdicts are irresponsible juries' products of caprice and prejudice, for example, the defendant is a rich corporation, the plaintiff is a poor boy and the counsel is an eloquent speaker. Such facts often decide who wins or loses." He characterizes that juries have tendency to like weak people and hate strong people. Jury system seems to have many problems. A sophisticated and rich person, a person of position and a busy businessman do not want to become a juror, because juries are bound for all trial period and therefore person who can afford time for trial can become a juror, such as a hous .....

Compare And Contrast The United States Bill Of Rights And The Texas Bill Of Rights
.... in that they wanted to be different. But in a sense they wanted the best for the people.
When the founders of the constitution and the writers of the state constitution wrote this document, there were a lot of similarities. Since the idea and direction was the same for both, some of the rights stated in the Texas Bill of Rights were the same. For example freedom of worship and speech are clearly outlined in both the Texas and United States Constitutions. The right of a fair trial and double jeopardy are some other good examples of similarities in the two.
Because the state of Texas and the union didn’t really agree upon ter .....

America's Network Of Representative Governments
.... assembly formed by George Yeardly (p.13). Perhaps, if the Virginia Company had not instructed the governor to establish an assembly, the idea of democracy might not have instilled into the minds of the colonists. Surely, without this first appearance, it is questionable that an idea suppressed for centuries under the English monarchy would surface anywhere else. Moreover, it led the way for other settlements to adopt a similar code.
Another way the representative body shaped America was slavery. Most representatives approved slavery and practiced it. The early burgesses of the Virginian assembly received land as their pay wage .....

The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty
.... sign and ratify this treaty the world could experience a much-feared nuclear holocaust, on the other hand the signing of the treaty could cause insecurity in various countries in the world.
Since the 1950's nations of the world have worked to achieve a treaty that would ban nuclear testing. The Limited Test Ban treaty, signed by the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom in 1963, outlawed exploding nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, in outer space, and under water. The Limited Test Ban Treaty was a start in the right direction, but the nations of the world needed to ban all nuclear explosions. Thirty years lat .....

Was Khruschev's Foreign Policy Successful?

The Soviets also worked to mend their fences with communist nations in an attempt to reunite the communist world, including a 1954 treaty with China. The soviet leaders enjoyed great success in their approach to the newly independent non-aligned nations in Asia an area Stalin had rejected. The Soviet Union seemed to provide a glitterin .....
