S Minister to France in May 1785 and later the first U. S Secretary of State in 1790 and served up to 1793 under President George Washington’s rule. Jefferson and Madison opposed Hamilton’s ideology by…

Our political leaders cannot agree on many important issues in our headlines today. Our political landscape is full of bipartisan conflict and disagreement on how to run the country. The Democrat and Republican Party disagree on almost every issue from gun control and abortion to immigration and healthcare. I can’t imagine them agreeing in a timely manner on issues regarding changing or amending the constitution. I believe if our government attempted to actually change the constitution and…

you, among few other Republican representatives, show sizable consideration toward the integration of gun laws and restrictions in our country. I am writing you this letter today to ask that you, a respected official and retired USAF General, hear our country’s cry for reform regarding the weapons that have claimed so many lives, especially just in the first quarter of this year. It may seem obvious, but it is so important to note the impact Party Representatives have on their constituents. As…

As five candidates run for presidency, one candidate that is very intriguing and determined to fix our political structure is Bernard Sanders. In 1963, Bernie attended a march in Washington with Martin Luther King, Jr and John Lewis that was very symbolic to his career. His involvement with the civil rights movement was very inspirational because he demonstrated courageous acts of standing up for what was right even though it was politically unpopular. Candidates like Bernie is what our nation…

amount of times Congress members vote, they have become accustomed to the particular sides to different public policy issues. No matter how well they think they know a certain issue, they have the Congressional Research Service, a non-partisan in-house staff of experts.

White House, Donald Trump refused to take questions from CNN’s Jim Acosta during a press conference due to the network allegedly reporting false information about Russians having compromising information about his finances and personal life (Soley-Cerro). Moreover, at times it did seem as if the mainstream media covered Trump a lot more negatively than his opponent Hillary Clinton.

The intuitional structure of congress is one key factor that helps shape the legislative process. Even if a associate of congress, the White House, or federal agency has spent months budding and drafting a piece of legislation, it does become a bill until it is submitted officially by senator or representative to the clerk of the House or Senate and referred to the appropriate committee for deliberation. When the hearings are completed, the subcommittee may meet to "mark up" the bill; that is,…

1. A representative should represent the interests of the constituents, despite the own personal beliefs of the representative. Burke told his constituents that a representative owes them “his judgement; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion.” Burke argues that by not making decisions based on their own consciences, representatives are diminishing the judgment of the people.
