Titles of Nobility Amendment

You are an inspiration to slackers and procrastinators the world over. I'm just as lazy as the next guy (lazier, even - I'm in college!), but I prefer to just get the whole tax thing over with as soon as I get the w-2 in the mail. It's not like I have a choice. Or do I? I do according to Aaron Russo. He produced the interminable documentary America: From Freedom to Fascism, where he and others claim that there is no written law anywhere in the United States legal code requiring any individual to pay income tax. "But Steve," you are no doubt saying to your monitors at this very moment, drawing quizzical stares from the others in your campus computer lab/Wi-Fi-equipped café, "aren't Mr. Russo and his friends overlooking the Sixteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, which clearly declares, 'The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among…

life”. This diverse union that encompasses the nation has rightfully earned it the title of a “melting pot” society. Though this congregation of unique peoples has enabled such a powerful and grandiose nation to form, the immense power and nobility of America has not been obtained without the enduring of hardships. Among the many struggles that America has been forced to bare is the issue regarding segregation. Segregation is defined as the action or state of setting someone or something apart…

The Articles of Confederation and the United States Constitution were both documents that established a democratic government that strictly forbade the monarchial style of government like those of the European governments from which the Americans had immigrated. In the United States of America, there would be no titles of nobility or aristocracy, nor would there be rulers of the country based on heredity rather than representation of the people. Each document placed the national government as…

Council. He has brazenly undermined the power of Congress by insisting his authority came from the United Nations Security Council prior to the attack on Libya and that Congressional approval was not necessary. Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible. He has aided America’s enemies, violating his oath, by sending funds to insurgents in Syria who are being commanded by Al-Qaeda terrorists. He has clearly…

to understand the effect of Napoleon Bonaparte’s role in France, it is first necessary to understand something of Napoleon’s life, understand the ideas of The Enlightenment and understand the stage upon which the French Revolution occurred. These are massive and complex topics which can receive only the most cursory of glances in a short essay. Napoleon was born in 1769 on the island of Corsica, which had only belonged to France for a year at the time of his birth. It was an Italian (Republic…

referred to primarily monetary benefits to the government officers. The founding fathers of the United States and the Framers of the constitution feared foreign intervention of the U.S. political system. Foreign powerful countries would influence U.S. officials by bribing them with gifts, money and valuable things. Because the United States was a new government, they had a weakness in accepting the bribes which served as a threat to the country. The founding fathers needed a system that would…

in order to obtain a career once their sentence is completed (Clear, et al, 2016). Sex offender programs are another activity that is offered under the heading of corrections. A few areas that this program focuses on include working with an offender to overcome sexual preoccupation, to overcome deviant sexual arousal, and to overcome self-regulation difficulties (Clear, et al, 2016). This programs existence has helped foster the growth of corrections by working with sexual offenders to attempt…

Some things that Congress has the power to do are: Collect taxes, print and borrow money, declare war, set up federal courts, propose amendments to the Constitution, control commerce, and accept or reject foreign treaties. Congress also has the power to do a pocket veto, which means that if they send a bill to the President he either has 10 days to return it to them vetoed or it is as if it were signed. If the President does send a bill back that has been vetoed, Congress has the power to…

If the pressure of society in 1861 would encourage the men to participate in the war was not enough, the call of the Governor would have certainly pushed them to join the war (95). At that time, the south found state rights particularly important, especially the rights granted by the second amendment to a disciplined militia. Therefore, militias often seemed to be more appealing than a state or federal army to many people. That said, there were larger militias these 15 men could have joined,…

Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.” Essentially this outlines that the law concerning not using Bills of Attainder also extends to the state level as well as federal. This is interesting when you consider legal actions taken today by pro-life individuals as the majority of them are unconstitutional in foundation given that every state level attempt to impede access to abortion is…
