Bill James

What would it be like to enter presidency while tensions are rapidly growing between the United States and two other countries? James Madison was practically forced to declare war on Britain in 1812, shortly after his inauguration. Great Britain had hoped to be a great ally to the United States. Instead, American ships were frequently seized by British forces. Both the vessels and their crewmembers were put to use in the service of Great Britain.

left. The two main approaches that developed in the Revolutionary war are still present in this century. The way both parties view the Constitution. Alexander Hamilton’s view did not consist of adding a Bill of Rights. On the other side of that coin Thomas Jefferson insisted on there being a Bill of Rights. They never got along. When the Constitution was signed the Government had a huge decision to face. What to do with the…

All good things must come to an end…or so they say. Of course, James Bond apparently never got that memo – you know, because he seems to get younger and more ambitious with each passing decade. With that said, it’s impossible not to admire the fan base and longevity that this character has built for itself, stemming back to the 1950s.

In this time the Virginia Resolution, authored by James Madison, stated that, “the Alien and Sedition Acts, Congress was exercising ‘a power not delegated by the Constitution, but on the contrary, expressly and positively forbidden by one of the amendments thereto; a power, which more than any other,…
