Federal assistance in the United States

The Federal Constitution would be based on a system of checks and balances instead of the virtue of the States. (Keene, 2012) The delegates still wanted a form of government that would protect one’s individual liberty and the common good of man; however, they wanted one with a strong central government, an executive power over foreign affairs and the militia, and one that could rectify relations between states when needed.

of our old house, not because of something terrible happened but rather for a better life in this area. The landowner asked us to move out because the government wanted this area for public buildings. We moved out of our house and moved to another state. We were in an urban area but the new house we are moving to is in rural area but not really, it’s between rural and urban. My parents like these areas more than the urban area where we stayed because there’s not many people disturbing them while…

Leonard Peltier was not as fortunate as his fellow AIM members. At his trial in 1977 the jury found him guilty and he was sentenced to two consecutive life terms. His trial and verdict are still a contentious issue with people adamantly defending his innocence and others just as sure of his guilt. Peltier’s supporters point to a number of specific events at his trial, for instance, not allowing key witnesses to testify and, unlike the Robideau/Butler trial in Iowa, severely restricting…
