Chase Norton Dr. Wang Global Studies R274 BAS 8 / 28 / 2016 What could explain the United States debt crisis? The question “What could explain the United States debt crisis” is, in my opinion, extremely relevant. I think it has to do with our leaders and the administration they brought with them. The crisis that our government is experiencing today could have come from the economic policies of our previous leaders including election promises, sponsors, and even kickbacks. Back in 1981…

The United States Constitution grants Congress the ability “To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water (Article I, 2009)” in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11. However, it also states in Article II, Section 2, “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States. (Article II, 2009)” These two sentences in the…

It seems remarkable to the extent of foresight Max Weber seem to have when it came to humanity. His understanding and contribution to the field of sociology is expressed in much of his later work. I find it interesting, reading through the published copies of lectures he gave the Free Students Union back in 1918. On one hand it is quite evident he opposed the way government and the political system unfortunately works, but in the same year he runs for a parliamentary seat. I see this could be…

Julie Klein is currently working for Senator Harry Reid as a Deputy National Security Advisor. Julie attended Haverford College and studied political science; however, she noted that on the hill what you studied in college does not necessarily matter. Many of her coworkers have multiple degrees that they do not use. Much like many other Hill workers, her career started as an intern. Her step in the door was with Tim Johnson of South Dakota. Here she did typical intern work, including responding…

The intuitional structure of congress is one key factor that helps shape the legislative process. Even if a associate of congress, the White House, or federal agency has spent months budding and drafting a piece of legislation, it does become a bill until it is submitted officially by senator or representative to the clerk of the House or Senate and referred to the appropriate committee for deliberation. When the hearings are completed, the subcommittee may meet to "mark up" the bill; that is,…

1. A representative should represent the interests of the constituents, despite the own personal beliefs of the representative. Burke told his constituents that a representative owes them “his judgement; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion.” Burke argues that by not making decisions based on their own consciences, representatives are diminishing the judgment of the people. However, I now believe that representatives cannot be blinded by their own beliefs…

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…

The origin of the taking clause was practiced before the first mentioned in the U. S. Const. amend. V is where it first came to prominence. The concept first reported in the Bible in the story where naboth sought a vineyard and was refused and subsequently took the vineyard and killed the owner (Tony). Throughout the Bible there are ample references where the taking clause was practiced and the owners of the property had no alternative but accept what was given them and bear the loss. However,…

There have been many presidents that have served this country well; however, can Americans say that for the presidents we have now? There are many qualifications to be a presidential leader. They need to understand the value of the Constitution, leadership, and should not fear to speak of or about the word of God. Qualifications of the president can come from many different areas; many qualifications do not revolve around political experience. Sometimes it is the candidates personal views and…

Law of the Land must change alongside America’s changing views. The next necessary amendment to the constitution should be a set outline for term limits for both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Currently, term limits do not exist among Congress, leading to possible corruption and political scheming, allowing the same state representative to stay in office until he/she resigns or passes away. In the House of Representatives, each Rep serves two year terms and in the Senate, each…
