Natelson And Labunski Argumentative Analysis

Improved Essays
Labunski points out that if a second convention had occurred, it probably would have been open to the public and it is unlikely that delegates would have been able to agree on any amendments. Both Natelson and Labunski's articles discuss the importance of Madison's thought process in 1789 and 1790. This is when Madison realized the need for a bill of rights to be included in the Constitution, as states had begun proposing their own ideas for amendments. It is pointed out in both articles that Madison did not completely oppose the idea of states calling for another convention, but he reasoned that it should only happen once the political frenzy had settled down. , Conversely, compared to the level of detail that Natelson and Labunksi provide,

    The movie franchise that began with “The Terminator” in 1984 has had its ups and downs. Being the first film of the series, “The Terminator” did not make a lot of money in total given that it had little hype going into it and it co-starred a relative unknown with some German sounding name that it turns out was Austrian. However, considering it only had a budget of $6.4 million and it made $78 million worldwide according to the Wikipedia page about the franchise, the producers were no doubt happy with the result. “Terminator 2” was the highpoint of the franchise in terms of box office draw and overall awesomeness.…

    After the capture of Patsy Daley and flushed with renewed vigour, Sir Frederick was soon back in the Wheogo area in search of Ben Hall, whom Pottinger once more came into close contact with at Sandy Creek station. It would appear that Ben Hall was either camped near or was staying at his former home and was being supplied with victuals and other comforts by Susan Prior and Ellen MaGuire. Whether Ben Hall understood or even contemplated at this early stage when he was crossing the lawful line to the unlawful line Ben Hall could have handed himself over to the law, no doubt for Ben Hall a custodial sentence would have been imposed, it was possible for Hall that a lenient sentence may have been brought down through Hall's good character references, as has been testified too by his esteemed friends from the district published in the many accounts of his fall from grace.…

    In 1968 a philosopher named H.J. McCloskey wrote an article titled “On Being an Atheist,” which attacked the main arguments held by theists. The main arguments that he refers to as “proofs” are the cosmological argument, the teleological argument, and the ontological argument. McCloskey’s article debunks these arguments as being false and without proof. He states that theists should dismiss the idea of God entirely. He claims in his opening statements that he will show reasons why theists should be miserable just because they are theists (1).…

    Mayhew, in Congress: The Electoral Connection, “The Electoral Incentive,” describes a seat in congress as a “congressional career, [offering] good pay and high prestige” (Mayhew 2004, 14-15). In order to keep that career, those in congress must continuously run for reelection, thus forming the “electoral connection.” To be ale to achieve reelection, a congressman must secure voters, and to secure voters he must give these voters what they want. Through this method, congressmen can keep their coveted jobs and the American people can reap the benefit by having congressman pass desired legislation to try and ensure voters. Although this sounds like a stable relationship, outside variables do get in the way.…

    Clifford and James are two philosophers who have contradicting opinions on whether having sufficient evidence is always necessary to believe in something. Where Clifford believes you cannot believe in anything without sufficient evidence, James believes that if the evidence doesn’t point in one way or another, it is justified to believe something based on our will. I will be arguing that James’ side is indeed correct. In James’ paper, he provides concrete evidence as to why his opinion is correct.…

    Madison responds to the claim that the constitutional convention was authorized to frame and propose an entirely new form of government. Anti-Federalists charged that the convention had been formed to merely amend the Articles, not throw them out entirely in favor of the proposed constitution. Madison argues that Congress had clearly authorized the convention to form a “a national and adequate government.” Although it had only been explicitly instructed to accomplish this through “alterations and provisions in the articles of confederation,” Madison argues that “alterations and provisions” alone would not be sufficient to achieve a “national and adequate government.” Therefore, the convention rightly decided that it was more important…

    Edmondson responds to the opposing viewpoint by agreeing with the opposing perspective in a manner where she introduces the idea that she agrees to in a positive manner to later crush it and reveal the truth behind the opposing viewpoint. For example, on page 260 Edmondson mentions introduces the opposing view point “While it may seem that Walmart’s and Meijer’s of the world bring variety to their host towns, thereby adding to the local culture, these giants truly have the opposite effect” ( Edmondson 260).Through this sample we see how the opposing viewpoint has been introduced in the sense she agrees with the idea, but as she goes on she eventually acts against her opposing viewpoint. Big box stores are so popular according to Edmondson…

    The Supreme Court, as Justice Madison puts it, is the Supreme interpreter of the law, and all laws that are not constitutional must be strike down. Brandeis also thinks this way. He thinks the interpreter of the law has supervisory powers. They must be impartial and not allow a citizen or government official to break the law. If citizens break the law, then the appropriate punishment applies according to the statutes; however, if the government breaks the law, then sanctions applies to uphold the integrity of the law.…

    The argument presented in Hibbing et al. is that the liberal-conservative is universal and grounded in psychological differences in sensitivity to negative stimulus. There are observations from historical conflicts from Sparta vs Athens to Sarah Palin vs Hilary Clinton, and some psychology references which are cited as having documented but not demonstrated the liberal to conservative divide. The finding of a genetic component demonstrates political orientation is an individual difference. People differ, at least by degree if not kind in a way that some component of this is not learned or chosen which means that it is likely to be stable.…
