The Welfare System
.... shortly after the Great Depression with Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal." The New Deal brought on new economic and social welfare legislation. This is the first time that the United States Government used federal and public funds to finance the welfare needs of the people. Today, the most expensive welfare program is Aid to Families with Dependent Children (A.F.D.C.). The A.F.D.C. was created after the passing of the Social Security Act of 1935.

.... the resaults.Given the nature of the job, once a commission is signed and sealed, it is law. A Justice of the Peace is entitled to serve the full term of his office and is not subject to removal by executive whim.Since all the proper procedures were followed, Marbury has a vested right to his commission and to withhold it is to violate the law.
The ansewer to the first question wasyes.The Anglo-American legal system is premissed on the assumption that people have legal recourse when subjected to an injury.The U.S. government is one "of laws, and not of men." This implies that there is a legal remedy for violation of a protect .....

Fascism
.... to the rapid social upheaval, the devastation of World War I, and the Bolshevik Revolution. This right-wing philosophy will even advocate violent action to maintain this loyalty which is held in such high regards. Fascism approaches politics in two central areas, populist and elitist. Populist in that it seeks to activate "the people" as a whole against perceived oppressors or enemies and to create a nation of unity. The elitist approach treats as putting the people's will on one select group, or most often one supreme leader called El Duce, from whom all power proceeds downward. The two most recognized names that go along with .....

Federalism's Role In Our Government
.... was greatly influenced by John Locke and said that the concept of right and wrong is not rational but arises from a regard for one’s own happiness.
Federalism was incorporated into the Constitution in order to make sure that the national government did not gain too much power. After the revolution, many people feared a monarchy or any form of government in which the central ruling body had too much power. The framers wanted the states to have much more power than the national government, and allowed the national government jurisdiction only in areas that concerned the nation as a whole. Areas such as war, negotiation, and f .....

The Future Of The GOP
.... a rate of nearly a billion dollars a day, and has gone up over 1.5 trillion just since Clinton took office. This works out to each citizen owing nearly $25,000 a piece! Where is all of this money going to? Well, that’s the next attraction on our trip…
Welcome to the deep and dreadful maze of unnecessary government spending. Here we find such things as money wasted on everything from almost $1.5 billion given to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration to nearly $20 billion spent on compensating farmers to stabilize farm prices. This is your wasted money! Another thing that the government has decided to d .....

One Of The Six Basic Principles Of The Constitution: Federalism
.... nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Therefore, federalism produces a dual system of government. It provides for two basic levels of government, each with its own authority and each operates over the same people and territory at the same time.
Federalism's major strength is that it allows local actions in matters of local concern and national action in matters of wider concern. Federalism allows for Local traditions, needs, and desires to vary from one State to another. For example, most forms of gambling are legal in Nevada but against the law in most othe .....

Bureaucratic Pathologies
.... usually called “wasteful duplication”, occurs when two government agencies seem to be doing the same thing.
To end conflict and duplication, Congress would have to make some policy choices and set some clear priorities, but with all the competing demands that it faces, Congress finds it difficult to do that.
Both conflict and duplication occur because Congress, in setting up agencies and programs, often wants to achieve a number of different, partially inconsistent goals or finds that it cannot decide which goal it values the most.
Imperialism refers to the tendency of agencies to grow without regard to th .....

The United States And Immigration
.... is the population rising extremely fast, but also we are letting thousands of people into the country. The more people there are, the less room there is for everyone. We can’t continue to place everyone together as close as possible. It will only result in a large population moving away to avoid being overcrowded. The more people that live in an area, the more traffic there is. Traffic is a big issue as far as stress and where you want to live. A limit is needed on people entering cities so they can’t get densely populated. Major cities are already preparing for the inevitable increase in the population of the near future .....

Flag Burning

We have no national religion, nor do we have many coherent tangible symbols of our traditions of liberty under law, of liberty with responsibility. The flag may be the only such symbol we possess, and if we, as a community, do not have the right to preserve that symbol in a manner that expresses the responsibility and decency that are necessary for civility and popular sovereignty itself, then it is not likely that the goals for which our republic was founded will long endure.”
The flag stands for the United States. Which means FREEDOM, because we .....

To What Extent Do Cabinets Play A Role In The Political Executive?

In the USSR, a type of collective leadership was in place, this was a mirror of the Marxist-Leninist notion. In reality communist party leaders, for example, Stalin, were so autocratic, they wielded such hegemony over the Politburo and its equivalent state body, the Presidium of the council of ministers that leaders stayed in power till they died.Throughout Europe and particularly in Germany, ministers are increasingly discouraged from perceiving themselves a .....
