Each state in America has representatives that is responsible to help the state function. Two different part groups are Democratic and…

The United States was built on the basis that individuals have freedoms that cannot be taken from them. Over the course of the country’s nearly 250-year history, those freedoms have helped shape a political system that encourages independent actions amid a lack of hierarchical constraints. That isn’t to say that there is no authority within the U.S. government, but rather it marks a uniquely undisciplined structure for the country’s two-party system. The current Democratic and Republican system…

the president authority to command the military. Although the president is supposed to notify congress, they have not been doing this as much. It’s not just our current president, but many in the past have disregarded the provisions where the Constitution states only Congress is allowed to declare war. The constitution had meant for there to be checks and balances with a little more power placed on congress. The framers originally didn’t want the president to be the one to declare war. They did…

Members of Congress have many important responsibilities, one of those is to vote. Hundreds of times a year they are called upon to vote on bills, motions, and amendments.

Has the regulation of interest groups in the United States, affected their ability to influence government officials? There has been ongoing debate about how influence should be distributed between interest groups and the affect they have on government officials. Interest groups support candidates who are sympathetic to their views in hopes of gaining access to them once they are in office. Some interest groups create political action committees (PACs), groups that collect funds from donors and…

This includes commerce, borrow money, and declare war. In addition, federalism has implied powers which can affect local governments. As a members of the federal Union, Texas has constitutional guarantees, which is rights and protections under the Constitution, and limitations imposed by Article I, Section 10.

In the state of Texas, the state’s constitution is what dictates the powers that the governor has. However, the Texas Constitution that is currently in place now, was created to limit the powers of the governor. Texas wanted to avoid having governors with too much power, as they usually had prior to the 1876 constitution (Champagne and Harpham 215).
