1979, President Jimmy Carter signed the executive order that created the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in order to coordinate the federal government’s role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters (Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), n.d). However, due to the 2005 hurricanes, the response of FEMA has demonstrated that the federal government is not meeting up to its expectations of its citizens. On…

principles of America. I found this article to be interesting and reasonable because the arguments were supported by reasons and examples. The principles Bartow explains are Good Government Requires Understanding Human Nature, Distrusted in An Energetic Federal Government, Citizens’ Virtue Is Crucial For Survival, and The Importance Of Federalism. He believes by putting all these 4 together, we can make America the great country it was before. While I may not agree with all 4 principles that he…

known risk occurs in the preparing stage for countering an attack. Basically, whether there is funding and enough supplies in place for first responders to counter an attack. These two risks are very important for first responders and the local and Federal governments need to provide proper training and supplies to combat them. Every community, town, city, county, and state need to be aware of the risks they may face in a possible terrorist attack. “Risk is commonly thought of as a product…

Welfare has always been a major point in today’s politics; every election the debate is brought forth once more and again when the Federal budget comes to the floor. It is assumed by many in the population that the program is for the lazy and encourages the poor to not find work or continues to have dependents to increase the amount of benefits they can receive. Many argue that it is the “right” of the individual to receive aid from the government when they cannot support their family. Others…

management as leadership, funding, federal recovery assistance programs, partnerships, and communications and information management (2013). All of these areas are vitally important to the current field and future of emergency management, and must continue to be improved upon whenever possible. However, I think a more appropriate order of importance of these issues would be leadership, funding, partnerships, communication and information management, and federal recovery assistance programs.…

supercede federal statutes (Sorenson). This power play between the Court and the state is an example of how federalism did not fulfill the framers’ vision of an institution that protected states’ rights from an ever-growing national government. In forming the Constitution, the framers had designed it to be a solution to unifying the states without taking all their rights. As seen during its early performance, federalism achieved its goal of dividing power between the states and federal…

A democracy under a federal system is the form of government all United States citizens are living under today. Sense this governmental system came to form, the strengths and weaknesses of our democracy under a federal system have become clear. Two advantages to this form of government are that the smaller forms of government on state and country levels created by federalism are more equipped to make decisions on behalf of the needs of local communities then a singular central government; the…

Are states worth our time? Could the United States function as efficiently if states were dissolved? Ultimately, states are necessary for our federal government to function. Since the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, Founders believed in a division between governments to ensure no single entity would gain power. While a division between levels of government is needed to secure the rights of citizens, history has indicated a struggle for power between national and state institutions. The…
