One of the toughest job positions in the United States is being the president. Not only does he have to worry about his family, but the billions of people in the country. It is his job to make sure the American people are live in an economically stable society and a peaceful one also. Some presidents sometimes struggle to find and create an economic recovery policy that can stabilize and grow the country. However, in the cases of both Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, both former presidents found…
While the amount of statistics is fairly slim, there is general consensus that most Americans cannot in most cases list all fifty states. We can go even further by assuming that the smaller the state or the less “relevant” it is in national affairs, the lesser the chances are that people will know it. Rhode Island is such a state. It is small geographically, unrepresentative of the national racial diversity we observe here in the United States, and has an economy which barely gives the state any…
Assignment #3 - Who 's Responsible for the Cold War? To begin, after reviewing the assigned material and deliberating, I have come to the conclusion that both are equally as responsible for the Cold war. While the U.S. tends to paint pictures of the USSR as cold, calculating, and an evil void of all emotion, it is truly the rivalry of both countries that brought upon the cold war. In a way, both the United States and the Soviet Union were like feuding siblings trying to prove superiority over…

The “Great Experiment in Democracy” is what the United States of America is often referred to as. From its beginning the United States has been a nation governed by and for the people, becoming the first nation to have the people tell the government what it can do, not vise-versa. What is considered to be among the greatest of feats is what former President Ronald Reagan believed was so special about the orderly transfer of constitutional authority being nothing less than a miracle in the eyes…
scandal his followers jumped ship and joined the ranks of those who oppose him. Being president did not matter at all to the American people they did not follow their leader and support him blindly. The American people worked for the process of impeachment which lead to Nixon’s removal fighting the position Nixon holds. However, even though they rushed to have him removed from power, they still needed a leader to follow. When Vice President Gerald Ford took his place in the oval office, the…
After the civil war in 1865, the Reconstruction Era emerged. The south was in great tragedy as the war had a significant impact towards the economy, leading to recession. To resolve this problem, the Union came up with resolutions in order to reconstruct the south and let them re-enter the Union. They also had to think about how to retrieve self-reliance of the slaves and provide them citizenship. Some people abruptly contend that the reconstruction had led to a great success; however, it was…
The role of a democratic state is to represent the view of its people and bring forth their ideas. In order to maintain this role, the state must have a system of checks and balances to preserve the voice of the individual. In many nations around the world, the balance of power between branches of government is weak or absent, leaving democracies to fail in their mission, to vest the power to the people. In this paper, I will analysis and compare the balance of power between the executive and…
