It is true that the major decision making body in New Zealand’s (NZ’s) government, Cabinet, does operate only under the presence of constitutional conventions. However, this is unique and is the oddest aspect of NZ’s constitution. Thus, it is important to look at the advantages and disadvantages of such a body and how this works in the current political environment of Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) in NZ. Cabinet is a collective group of elected crown ministers headed by the Prime Minister…

United States continues to wear a black eye with racism that continues to follow our government with the history of civil unrest and discord relationship that has been established with a majority of citizens that reside in the poorest economic areas in America. These project areas usually house the poor racial minorities that reside in federal subsidizing housing communities that have been forced upon them due to the racial indifferences between social and ethnic groups that govern our…
