Democratic Unionist Party

The Pattern report came in the year 2000. It aimed to introduce not just a new badge and a new name and most importantly the recruitment of more Catholics into the force. The proposal was initially rejected by the unionists and the republicans because it was too British, but a year later the police service of Northern Ireland was formed. On the 30th of April 2014, Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams was arrested on charges of murder during the troubles. This brought the new police force under scrutiny because he felt that the arrest was politically motivated. Adams was arrested for his alleged role in the murder of Catholic convert: Jean McConville during the troubles. Gerry Adams protested his arrest as he thought that the arrest was ‘politically motivated and designed to damage’ the party and its leader. However the head of the police service Matt Baggott, said that it was ‘unfair and inappropriate’ for Adams and his supporters to claim that there were "dark" elements opposed to the peace process and that ‘the arrest and questioning of Mr Adams was legitimate and lawful.’ The statement from Bagott isn’t entirely trustworthy because he isn’t likely to admit that the arrest was politically motivated. The change in the police force in Northern…

rights of the emancipated slaves, security and political power for Southern Unionists, and at least temporarily political disqualification of leading ex-Confederates”. The same sentiments have been echoed by The White House as well when stating, “The Radicals' first step was to refuse to seat any Senator or Representative from the old Confederacy.” These measures were passed for former slaves, which Johnson wanted vetoed. After this the Radical’s gathered enough votes in Congress to pass…

Technology, an exchange magazine, watches that two days before exhibiting its appeal to the Department of Commerce, Boeing ran a full-page ad in three conspicuous daily papers demonstrating Donald Trump going to a Boeing plant "to celebrate jobs. The Canadian government responded to the objection against Bombardier by recommending that Boeing is not any more a "put stock in accomplice" and showing that it might wipe out its arranged buy of fly contenders from the Seattle organization.…

for the country and the little man, having once been there himself. An important concept in Jacksonian Democracy was the spoils system (Brands). Political offices were given out to supporters of the administration, on the basis of their support. It proved to be an effective expression of true Jacksonian Democracy as it gave political offices to ordinary men. This was the first turnover of personnel in Washington since 1800 because the same party had been in power from the turn of the century…

The film Bulworth follows the campaign of a senator that is running for elections in the State of California. As soon as the film starts we are introduced to the high level of corruption that occurs in a political campaign or as politicians refer to it as simply campaign. By the end of the movie it is clear that the film portrays current American politics. The film makes interesting references to how race, gender and class matter when it comes to our political system. However it is also very…

Is Andrew Jackson a Hero, or a Villain? “One man with courage makes a majority." This quote by Andrew Jackson perfectly portrays the life, the character, and the overall Presidency of Andrew Jackson.

During this time frame, Mr. Jackson completely revolutionized the Presidency of the United States by winning the popular vote, and by being the direct representative…

Without Sanctuary Reflection My first reaction to the narration wasn’t as shocking as I thought. It was horrifying to see the pictures and to also hear a detailed description with research behind it. History always has a way of telling a story and bringing up great discussion, especially when comes close to heart. Growing up, I’ve heard plenty of stories; but I have never actually encountered anything demeaning to my social perspective, self- esteem, or character. Throughout this paper I would…

“It shocks us. It always shocks us. Particularly when it happens in the state where we live, the county where we live, the city where we live. . . . We tell one another how horrible it is. Because that’s true, but we’re not surprised. One of the worst things about news like this is that horrible is the new normal [emphasis added].” (McLeigh) School shootings have become the new norm in America. This should not be the case when these tragedies are completely avoidable. According to a recent study…

Louisiana is known to have supported the Democratic Party for many decades. The large black population of the state identifies with the party (Stolberg, 2014). Most of the residents of New Orleans, the largest city of the state, also support the part. Given the huge support that the Democratic Party has enjoyed in the state for many years, Landrieu is likely to carry the day. The Democratic Party is only popular in Baton Rouge and other areas with small populations. That is why Cassidy is likely…

The later end of the 19th century showed huge change in American society, with special focus being on the 1860’s onwards because of the legal change giving slaves in the USA rights to be a human being. From being classed as animal, black American’s now had opportunities never before faced, however this change did not happen overnight. Although vitally important in the abolishment of slavery in American, it becomes obvious that the 13th amendment was not the turning point of civil rights in the…
