New Terra, our last hope and place of tranquillity in our utterly chaotic district. However, this might have been our downfall. Being an aged individual, nearly 82, and the first of our kind born on New Terra I have grown up with peace among our peoples. But somehow in someone’s mind, it is alright to have war and violence and destruction. Standing between us and utter destruction was our Supreme Leader, Nicholas.
As of seventy-nine years ago, almost to the date, my people stared death right in the eye. Envisioning the obliteration of what we had toiled to accomplish is foreign to us.

At this time our people were prospering and we broke free from the Senate. The Senate did not appreciate, nor did they need to conform to our idea. Declaring with a tone of humility, "We, the Senate, have your best interests at heart and we wish to help New Terra grow and prosper further."
The Senate oppressed the people of New Terra forcing them into slave labour. They exploited the people not because they were a new colony, however, they enslaved them because they were of mixed race.
"Although we are growing and becoming a staple of peace in our district; we will not stay under your grasp any longer. Your ideas of how our people should live are not the same as ours, and as long as the Senate continues down this dark path, we cannot be apart of your district."
Despite all efforts to break free from the Senate's grasp, we couldn't. "We as New Terrans need to be a united people and stand against our districts view of judgment and corruptness," Supreme Leader Nicholas exclaimed. In the midst of disarray of the Senate and as a result of the sheer displeasure of where our people were heading, we needed something to

    The United States of America in the Post-American Revolution was overflowing with joy, fear and cautious optimism. The world had held its breath as it watched thirteen small imperial colonies succeed in defeating the British Empire and wining its long sought after independence.

It would come down to two prominent political intellectuals of the time, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, to take it upon themselves to heed this danger.

    It is the world’s worst kept secret - politicians want to get reelected. To accomplish this goal, they will have to convince their constituents that they deserve it. They may face the misfortune of being in a state where their party is not favored - perhaps they won the seat to begin with because their opponent was simply unacceptable, even though the state identifies with the ideology of their opponent’s party. In these kinds of situations, the candidate’s charasma and good will may go a long way in securing the candidate’s election. Perhaps, the issue in achieving reelection is that the President of the United States from the opposing party is not letting them pass pieces of legislation.…

    Author Mark Twain stated, “Loyalty to the Nation all the time, loyalty to government when it deserves it”. In his farewell address, George Washington expressed the importance of putting America above any local or foreign identity. We disagree with Washington's absolute take on patriotism as this may create a populous which blindly adopts the decree of an unjust government. A big concern during the time of Washington’s farewell address was the fear of Americans identifying more closely with their states than with the national government.…

    it is unconstitutional for a President to justify the declaration of war on the basis of the AUMF. Another reason to repeal the 2001 AUMF is because of the absence of a sunset clause. Hypothetically, the President can wage an endless war under the AUMF because no expiration date exists on its authority. This is problematic because Al-Qaeda is no longer a substantial threat, yet the authorization continues to allow administrations to broadly apply this authority to other terrorist groups.…

However, it wasn’t just a letter of resignation, it was a letter that warned American citizens about the dangers and possible threats to the country’s safety in the future. In addition, he also gave valuable advice for the overall country. His letter provides an interesting contrast against the current government today. The majority of his warnings ring true today, as there are many examples of where his warnings have been ignored.…

Most of the time they base their campaigns on winning over their party population whether that be Democratic or Republican. But what happens when this candidate gets elected? Are their best interests in the people or in their own endeavors? Political scientist Morris P. Fiorina makes three claims about the elected candidate and us citizens; that the President will act in greed and self-interest in order to get power, that they will want to be re-elected in the next term, and if we, as voters, get along with the party of the President,…
