1st United States Congress

nondiscrimination policies have been expanding, but changes have been incremental and often centered in the state and local levels of government. Federal, state, and local governments all have the power to enact nondiscrimination legislation. Currently, however, there are few national laws prohibiting gender non-conformity discrimination explicitly (Garland, 599). Most of the headway has come on the state and local levels (Taylor, 189). It wasn’t…

As we have learned in our text, incumbents are more often than not re-elected to the U.S. Congress in high rates. In Understanding American Government: California Edition the author states that “incumbency is even more of an asset to members of congress than it is to presidents.” But why might this be? I believe that the system of American government gives incumbents an almost unfair advantage when it comes to the acquisition of campaign funds as well as helpful media exposure. As we have…

brussels sprouts; these seemingly unrelated items do have one common component: Americans view these more favorably than Congress, according to a 2013 poll. Upon hearing this, I was awestruck as to how Congress had stooped so low that only 8% of Americans approve of the lawmaking body that represents us. I quickly learned the reason why: the intense hatred that both parties in Congress have for each other and a complete unwillingness to work together. Reflecting on this, I realized, “Why would I…

The United States Postal Service's officials are neglecting their obligations established in Article One, Section 8 and 9 of the American Constitution, and established in the promulgated statute and tenor of the Private Express Statute. The aforementioned divulgatory laws mandate the United States Postal Service’s officials to deliver mail to all properties and residences’ addresses with acceptable authorized United States Postal Service’s receptacles. However, United States Postal Service…

“So help me God” was an important phrase said by George Washington. The first president of the United States was an incredible man. He was an amazing leader that had courage. George Washington issued the Neutrality Proclamation, stopped the Whiskey Rebellion, and had a marvelous Farewell Address. Did he assure the rights of our people? I believe that George Washington protected the rights of our nation. The rights of citizens were protected by and important to, George Washington. The…

Q6: I think the one thing that was mainly different about the South American Revolution and the Mexican Revolution was that in the South American Revolution, the peninsulares and the Creoles were the leaders in the army for South America. In the Spanish Revolution, the lower class people were the leaders in the armies. In the Spanish government they had different social classes. At the top of the Spanish-American government and Society where the peninsulares who are people that had been…

S. is his work to abolish slavery. Lincoln supported the Union in the north. With him being for the north it meant that during the civil war he fought against the Confederates or the south. On January 1st 1863 Lincoln sent out the Emancipation Proclamation that let slaves in the confederate states be free.…

The process by which the Congress overrides the President’s veto is called a veto override. This essentially means that the President’s word is not final or law. A veto override happens more commonly than one would think. For every 18 presidential vetoes, one will be overridden. This means that roughly .05% of all presidential vetoes are overridden which may not seem like a large number, however it is when things are put into perspective. The very first successful veto override occurred on March…

Greece where for the first time the state was divided into branches, each having separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility. In its ideal form, the system is supposed to ensure that “the powers of one branch are not in conflict with the powers associated with the other branches.”(Czarny, 2016) Typically, the power is divided between three branches- legislature, executive, and judiciary as it is the case with the American system. In the United States, the legislative branch is…
