a. The decentralization that occurred under the Articles of Confederation evoked an issue concerning taxation, specifically when the Revolutionary War occurred and the federal government needed taxpayer money to support war efforts. Since the federal government delegated all taxing authority to individual states, it was unlikely that the states would yield to Congress when they requested tax money because there was no law forcing them to do so. However, the centralization of the Constitution provided a solution to this; in Section 8 of the Constitution, it is stated that Congress shall have the authority to impose and collect taxes. Further, the decentralization under the Articles of Confederation brought about an issue regarding the development…

On May 25th 1787 all states are present except for Rhode Island. But by May 29th, Edmund Randolph presented a plan called the Virginia Plan which was written by James Madison and would provide for a strong centralized government composed of three branches, the judicial, executive and legislative to avert any corruption of power. Madison 's plan describes two houses: one with members elected by the people for 3-year terms and the other older leaders elected by the state legislatures for 7-year terms.

Ever since America was founded, its population has always struggled with the balance between national and local politics. A national government was favored because of its ability to maintain cohesiveness among the whole population, while local, smaller governments were favored in order to limit the powers of the national government and to prevent the tyranny the colonists faced before fleeing from Britain. While some Americans argue that states’ rights hold more importance over the power of the federal government, an “overall trend in American history shows the increase of dominance of local over national politics.” The dominance of the federal government is beneficial for American society because it is more efficient, more democratic, and…

The Importance of Organizing in Health Care Management A number of major principles exist to support the framework for the formal organization theory, one being authority as an essential principle (Dunn, 2010).

There are three different leadership styles with many variations in-between. The difference in these three leadership styles is the level and location of control. At one extreme is the autocratic leader, which makes independent decisions on how to proceed. On the opposite end of the spectrum there are laissez faire leaders, which have a hands-off approach and allows the subordinates to make all the decisions. However, the democratic leader is the medium of the three, which allows more input of the decision making process for his or subordinates.…
