Federal government

the political system. We learned that while having a government is important to keep our society organized, it is considered more of a necessary evil. At times states use the government as an excuse to exert its power and overstep its boundaries through the use of violence. Chapter 2 also explains the different types of government that exists. While different democracies have their faults when compared to some of the other types of governments; we should truly be thankful for all the freedom and…

the federal government and the states is fragile. While the federal have the ability to control anything they want, the states get to control whatever the federal government does not. This sets up the federal part to have complete control. Yes, the states may have the power but when it gets into the federal system, the states cannot do anything about it. As you will find out in many of our Founding Fathers documents, they had the wits to be able to split what the federal and state governments…

Under the U.S. federal system of government, the powers of each level of government are clearly defined and understood. At the top, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All levels of government must obey the Constitution. For example, no state or city can require public officials to do things that are prohibited by the U.S. Constitution. State constitutions set up rules that govern the people of each state. Though each level has its defined roles, many issues call for…

Reserved powers are powers set aside for the state governments an example being to make marriage laws. Concurrent powers are the powers shared equally between the state and federal governments an example being to collect…

Forcing a unitary government onto this country would be moving backwards in my opinion, because the decisions are made higher in the ranks and the orders are given to those in lower ranks to follow. According to Skyline College, the power isn’t shared amongst the “weaker” states. (Skylineguides) Which could easily turn into one ethnicity running the country instead of considering the wants and needs of everyone who inhabits the land. In a way, unitary government reminds me of a communist…

States Constitution, it states that local governments are a matter for the state law and not the federal law. It is because of this that the states have developed a wide range of structures and systems for local governments. The United States Census Bureau has identified four different types of local government systems. The first one is a county government, which are authorized in state constitutions and statutes. Then there are town or township governments, which are also authorized in state…

However, this terminology has a whole opposite concept of the word itself, literally. Federalism is an idea of government powers that are divided by the national government and the states’ governments. National government is the one that is in charge of mailing and sending troops to wars,while states governments are the ones handing the licensing of occupations or licenses…

Introduction I will be addressing the issue of job dissatisfaction mainly on the federal government level. Many job seekers are drawn to the federal work force due to most a lot of attractive offer that might be presented to be by the recruiter, but will later learn that the grass isn’t greener on the other side. Problem It’s a well-known fact, how competitive, long process it is to land a job with the federal government; especially jobs that requires high level of security clearance. This…

The three branches of the federal government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) are together to control drug use in the United States. Because drug use affects everyone in our society, the government stepped in to regulate usage and distribution of soft drugs like marijuana and hard drugs like heroin, along with prescription drug use. We can ask ourselves if it is really working. The President and his Administration are working through the office of National Drug Policy in an Attempt to…
