Illinois House of Representatives

Jersey Plan. The two had different ideas of who and what should govern over all the states and what the powers of this newly formed government will have. The main points of the Virginia Plan was that the governing houses should that of a legislative and a judiciary. The representatives in the legislative branch would be based on the population of the states, and gave the power to the larger states which was disliked by New Jersey because it was on of the smaller states. Due to this…

country effectively. Throughout the early part of the 19th century, the membership of the House of Representatives was very unpredictable and explosive. Very few individuals wanted or sought to make a career of holding to the position of political office and this caused the power of the congress to decrease. The committees that are powerful now were very weak during this time and so the speaker of the house has gained a considerable amount of power to be able to appoint what committees were…

After going on a wicked rant against Jewish people, a Washington, D.C. democrat lawmaker has been busted for funneling money for the poor to help advance radical Islam, according to the Media Research Center. Trayon White, the city councilman who accused Jewish people of controlling the weather and snubbed the Holocaust museum last week, is now being accused of violating campaign finance laws for giving money to a group of known anti-Semites.

I just read that HB 40 passed the house without a single Republican vote. Thank goodness it passed. It saddens me greatly that you would vote against something that benefits women. What is happening in Washington about women's rights is appalling enough but to hear of it happening in Illinois is even more so. I know the state is financially in a bind but if women's rights are not upheld here the damage from DC will rain down in the years to come. I have not been as diligent in keeping track of…

and the number of representatives in that state (One vote for each senator and representative). So the real question is, should the U.S. change its election system? Yes. It should. The U.S. should change their election system to base it off of the opinions of the people; due to the lack of say that voters actually have in the election, the unfairness each well-populated state has if the electoral college is ended in a tie and the vote is given to the House of Representatives, and the possible…

Additionally, Abraham Lincoln is considered the best president to date by enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation.…

called the electoral college, which is an extremely complex system that many would call “undemocratic.” In this system, the president and vice president are indirectly chosen.

This system is very unfair, and gives the citizens almost no say in who will become…
