The Role of the Citizen in a Constitutional Democracy Despite major conflicts and social changes, the American Constitution has offered a framework of governance for over two hundred years. The Framers of the American constitution sought to create a government free of tyrannical rule—where power derives from the consent of the governed. The US constitution outlines a form of national government that aims to serve the American people by protecting their rights and liberties. The US constitution is succinct and difficult to amend; congress has only passed twenty-seven amendments since the ratification of the constitution. In this essay, I will analyze the arguments Robert Dahl’s presents in his book “How Democratic is the American Constitution”…

As a country founded on the ideals of freedom and liberty, the United States of America created a Constitution with democracy at its core. Although the Framers strenuously debated on how democratic the Constitution should be, the product of their efforts produced a document that has served as the basis for the democratic republic that America is today. However, some individuals, such as Robert Dahl, a political theorist and an author, illustrate the specific areas of the Constitution that have failed to promote its democratic quality. One of his most tenacious arguments lies with the dysfunctionality of the Electoral College, which he regards as a major contribution to the undemocratic character of the Constitution. He provides two distinctive…

When commentators discuss the United States Supreme Court’s jurisprudence, there is often spirited debate concerning which decisions constitute the ‘best’ and ‘worst’ in the Court’s history. Far too often, this debate splits along ideological lines, with progressive commentators praising landmark decisions such as Roe v. Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges, and conservative commentators lamenting decisions such as Planned Parenthood v. Casey and Lawrence v. Texas. Regardless of one’s ideological predilections, such debates mistakenly focus on the outcomes that the Court reached in these cases, rather than on the processes by which the Court arrived at the results, including the impact that such decisions have on federalism, separation of powers,…

Healthcare reform, a subject that has long been needed and discussed at every level, from the kitchen table to the tables of law makers and decision makers, and no one has yet reached a perfect solution. Not only does the reform in healthcare have to cover all Americans, but it also has to do it affordably, comprehensively and ethically. In 2010 the Obama administration introduced the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to address the issue of medical coverage for all Americans regardless of their income. This act helped expand Medicaid eligibility, subsidized insurance premiums, offered incentives for business of all sizes to provide health care to its employees, encouraged individual states offer insurance exchanges, and made…
The healthcare system needs to invest in educational programs that address communication and ethics that focus on behaviors, cultures of various background. Another recommendation is to add some of the Social work classes into other Majors, for instance, medical field profession, an administration that comes into contact with patients. There is proof that Millions of American cannot afford to pay for medical insurance and some may have some medical coverage. African-American populace including people that have low-income face more barrier than wealthy people.

The prevalent issue of Medicaid has been an underlying issue for many years. However, Medicaid has been providing a quality of care for those who are unable to afford it. Thanks to President Lyndon Baines Johnson who ...“signed the Social Security Amendments which established Medicare and Medicaid” (“The 1965 Medicare Amendment to the Social Security Act”). While this plan promised to improve health care for all, it also put a stain on the government. According to Medium.com, “ In 2007, about 62% of all United States bankruptcies in one or another were related to medical expenses even for those with health insurance” (“The Pros and Cons of Medicaid For All”).…
Universal healthcare is a fundamental right no citizen should be denied. As citizens residing in the United States we should be able to have easy access to receive the proper medical care and attention we need, when needed. The United States should consider implementing a universal healthcare program because not only would many residents benefit from it, but also the United States. According to the Australian Journal, “A reform package based on Medicare would also promote national recovery by creating 2.6 million new jobs, infusing $317 billion in new business and public revenues, and injecting $100 billion more in wages into the US economy.” But what exactly is universal healthcare?…

For these reasons, many member states have given up on reform proposals, but instead pleading for the permanent member’s restraint on the use of veto. Given the trend of veto uses in the past, there is without a doubt that the veto power is abusive by nature. Moreover, one should be able to concede that with the power of veto in existence, there would be no possibility of a radical reform of the Security…
