Florida Legislature

In comparison to the powers of both the legislative branch of government to the executive branch of government, one must first take a look and understand why these two main branches of government were made in the first place. What powers make up each individual form of government, why and how are they able to function separately and also, their purpose is for the people of the nation. For the first branch of government, the legislative branch, this branch was first established in Article 1 of…

I argue that the creation of political parties in the United States Congress both addresses and enhances the collective action issues known as the prisoner’s dilemma, agency loss, and the tragedy of the commons, due to their constant clashes of ideological ambitions. The formation of Congress was most likely the first act of collective action before the official constitution was drafted. Two opposing sides, one the heavily populated states argued for a legislative body based on population. And…

government the majority chooses, its first act is to set up a legislative government in power which is supreme and it can’t be changed unless the whole government is dissolved. The legislative power while supreme within the common wealth cannot be arbitrary, it cannot deprive someone of life, liberty, or a state. If the legislative power did deprive people of life, liberty, or the state no individual would have voluntarily left the natural condition. What has been given to government is the law…

When I were woken up by a 5.8 magnitude earthquake from Pawnee, Oklahoma on last Saturday morning, I just thought I was in a dream. Is Texas near a seismic zone? Again, I heard my cousin, a petroleum engineer, talk about the hydraulic fracturing which causes the frequent earthquakes recently. hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is widely used by the oil and gas companies in Texas and Oklahoma to produce oil and natural gas. Although hydraulic fracturing technology successfully reduce…

The Legislature checks the Executive by being able to approve presidential nominations, override a President's veto, and impeach the President by removing him or her from the office. The Executive branch checks the Legislature by being able to veto congressional Legislation. The Legislature can check the Judicial Branch by being able to confirm the President's nominations for the Supreme Court judges…

Many years ago our founding fathers made a government without tyranny, they were smart to do this because they didn't want to have all the power in the hands of one person or group. Delegates (55) gathered in Philadelphia at the Constitutional Convention to frame a government without too much power in the hands of one person or a group. The Constitution was signed September 17, 1787. How did these framers protect us from tyranny ? They wanted to create a government without tyranny and they did…

Australia Australia has three different types of government. They use a Parliamentary system, Federal Monarchy, and a Constitutional Monarchy. There is a monarchy, a prime minister, and a parliament.

Parliament is elected every three years in an election much like that of the United States. There are two sections in parliament, the House…

There are several steps in the lawmaking process. The first step in the process is when the bill is drafted. When people feel that a law is needed, they will try to get representatives of that state to submit it to the national government. This leads to the next step: the law is introduced to the House of Representatives or Senate. From here the bill will be sent to a committee. In this committee they will choose to kill it, which is to say no, or approve it. If approved, the bill will go to the…

Some may feel that our government is inefficient and needs a new way to be ran. The reason for it being so bulky is so not one person has too much power. Our government is fairly divided into three branches and ran by the people's vote. The founders of the constitution made it this way so everyone can be treated equally. Our American government consists of three separate bodies of government that share their power equally which is a system set by the constitution. The constitution embodied the…

The United States Government is one that is very unique. It remains based of the Constitution and that principles that were essential in the writing of it. Of these principles many are important and essential but there are three very important principles that are greater than the others. Without these the United States would not be the same it is today. These principles are Federalism, Popular Sovereignty, and Separation of Powers. Federalism was crucial in the Constitution and has remained the…
