Simply stated in Atherton v. Concord (1968)

"A man cannot serve two masters at the same time, and the public interest must not be jeopardized by the acts of a public official who has a personal financial interest which is, or may be, in conflict with the public interest.”

I expect the same, if not more but certainly not less than this from my President.

    Reapportionment In The Baker V. Carr Case

    Baker v. Carr was a landmark case decided in 1962. This case brought up the issue of reapportionment, and the view that citizens’ vote value were being reduced when their population and economy were growing and their districts weren’t portioned accordingly, in turn, they were being deprived of their constitutional right to vote in the General Assembly.

    Citizens United V. Federal Election Commission Case Analysis

    The primary argument and deciding factor in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2008) was that Citizens United’s First Amendment rights were violated. The Supreme Court is held accountable towards upholding the constitution and upon scrutiny of all relevant rulings, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Citizens United (Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 2008).

In the spring of 2002, the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform act was passed. Later, in 2010, this reform act was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in Citizens United v.

    Essay On The Relationship Between President And Congress

    Understanding the relationship between the president and congress is key in understanding American politics. Congress and the president cannot avoid engaging with one another, with a constitutional set up that demands they work together constructively. Congress has its roles to play in policy making as does the president. The president and congress are given certain powers in the constitution, that power is divvied up, so that neither one of these branches has too much power at one time (Fisher 2007). The founders of the constitution were very distrustful of the presidency and feared if the president was given too much power it would lead to demagogy (Dickinson 2008).…

    Check And Balances

    “Each branch of government has a check upon the other, and the two must balance one another to consummate the action. Even if each branch eyed the other skeptically, they were motivated to cooperate.” (Fox and Pope, p.94) The ability to check and balance is necessary in the government and in economics. Citizens of nations ruled by kings only serve the purpose of promoting the wealth of the king. Economies dominated by companies with monopolies don’t flourish, due to the lack of competition.…
