    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,…

    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).…

    Reporter Ronald Brownstein argues that there are four quadrants of Congress. Brownstein adheres to the idea that demographic factors that go beyond region play a powerful role in shaping each party’s representation in the House. The four quadrants of Congress, which include districts that have high levels of racial minorities and of educated whites, districts with high minority levels and low levels of white education, districts that have low minority levels and high white education levels, and districts with low minority levels and low white education, shape the impact of demography on parties in the House. The Democrats’ two greatest demographic strengths are the racial minorities and well-educated whites. While the Democrats drawing their…

    In order to avoid the awkward “please pass the potato salad” at Thanksgiving between you and your conservative cousin Carl, most people will avoid discussing politics altogether. For example, Sean Spicer, the White House Press Secretary, held interviews with pool reporters—in other words, conservative news outlets that aligned with his political leanings. This coincides with the claims made by Joseph E. Uscinski in his article Fake News Freakout, where he said, “People tended to avoid news they disagreed with—and when they nonetheless did encounter a message that they rejected, they found ways to discount it or to interpret it in a manner that made it congruent with their pre-existing opinions” (Uscinski, Fake News Freakout). With the First…

    This is a great example for proving that there is a flaw in the way schools develop he definition of a belief vs. fact; McBrayer says that schools are not using the right terms when defining these two, thus creating chaos when a child/teenager has to decide whether something is true or false, or right or wrong. He points out that the problem is that schools basically play something like the "Devil's advocate" when having a child choose whether something is a fact or a belief, when really every case is different and some facts can or cannot be proven. McBrayer also validates his argument by providing proof that he found the problem in his son's school "When I went to visit my son’s second grade open house, I found a troubling pair of signs hanging…

    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.…

    Many people tend to not care about politics or anything of that nature. However E.J. Graff presents a very valid point. She states “No biggie, some people think: Just write a will and some health care proxies, appoint a guardian, and you're all set (4). However it is not that easy as may think. E.J. Graff thoroughly evaluated her claim and made a lot of valid points on the continuous revolving issue of the homosexuals and adoption rights.…

    They claim that it is not indispensable for politicians in United states to be this much concerned about this growing income inequality as because of the obviousness in case of china and India regarding the inequality and economic growth. Now, their claim rest upon an assumption that different countries follow the same economic pattern. And while their research might be true for China and India, the same is not the case for America. The Economist in their article “How Inequality affects growth” argues that inequality has a great potential of impairing the GDP, if the lower class continues to suffer and have estimated that “a rise in the income share of the bottom 20% actually boosts growth.” [1] Research conducted by the International Monetary Fund and the National Bureau of Economic Research also point that societies which are more equal in terms of their financial status experience stronger growth rate, higher economic expansions, and are more prone to quickly recover from recessions.…

    Initially I will present a description of theological instrumentalism and the motivations for advocating religious fiction as instrumentally valuable. One of the motivations for rejecting theism is the problem of evil. The problem of evil when treated as a fiction is thought to avoidable as the instrumentalist is the creator of his fictional world and so can exclude inconsistencies. I argue that the instrumentalist does not need to avoid the problem of evil and that it can be fictionally valuable. Further, if the instrumentalist does not include suffering in their fiction, this can lead to pragmatic inconsistencies.…

    Within this essay, I will argue that Galen Strawson’s basic argument, presented in Your Move: The Maze of Free Will, is correct about the impossibility of ultimate moral responsibility. I will do this by first explaining the basic argument as proposed by Strawson, then raising an objection to it concerning the distinction between the self and the way you are by denying the second premise. And finally, I will be refuting the objection. Strawson’s basic argument can be boiled down to the simple notion that one cannot be ultimately morally responsible. He claims that anything you do in any circumstance is an effect of who you are, and the way you are.…
