Interest Groups play a variety of roles in the policy making process. One of their biggest impacts on public officials comes from lobbying, in many forms by socialization, persuasion, and targeting legislators to take their views or concerns to legislature for them since finances and government policies fall in their territory. As others tend to affect the process in a noneconomic way, for the betterment of society or for needed in their opinion reform. Some interest effects the process of…

The Federalist Papers were papers written in 1787 by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay. There were eighty-five papers in total. However we will just be covering numbers ten, fifty-one, forty-seven, and thirty-nine. These cover many of the major problems that would be facing a new government. These papers were very important to our constitution, and our founding. Federalist Paper number ten was written by James Madison to guard against the issues of factions. In any society…

The Supreme Court should be able to overturn unconstitutional laws that Congress has passed. There are many reasons to give the Supreme Court this power, first we need someone to enforce the fact that no law should violate the Constitution. Next, it helps balance the three branches of government, and lastly the Constitution puts judicial power into the Supreme Court and inferior courts. This power will stop substandard laws from getting passed, and will protect the structure of our government…

Incarceration or rehabilitation? This is an issue that I have strong feelings about but my opinion is not necessarily supported by the research. I believe that if a person commits a crime, they must pay the price, regardless of the possible causes for the deviant behavior. I do believe that rehabilitation is possible in some cases and should not be ignored, but a criminal must still serve time if required by law. Strengthening rehabilitation programs in prisons is something that I am…

Kids and teenagers who enjoy playing football and other types of sport that is physically strenuous (whether at recess during school, kid day care center, or at the boys and girls club events) often forget or ignore proper safety equipment and usage of padding. This neglect, in addition to lack of education and enforcement among players and coaches alike often leads to great amounts of injury in a wide range of sports and physical activities. In order to reduce the risk of these injuries, I…

Congress spent less time in session and handled fewer business on the chamber floors. As President Obama and the congress weren’t on the same page because of how he handled things with the congress and legislators as he always wanted to talk business when he felt like it and not discuses other major problems that needed solutions. 383 bills were signed into law and that made it the sixth least productive Congress on record. And when he never found common…

orders from the president on what they should do. He also controls where ships go, how weapons are used and where solider should go and much more. She/he could send ships to destroy a terrorist base or send the Air Force to bombard a ship. The chief legislator is also the president. He cannot make laws, but he can influence congressman to pass laws in times of urgency. He could have dinner with a congressman to tell him to make a law. He can also urge them to veto laws that are not good for the…

posted in the parking lot and entrance to a school. The image is clearly designed to deter crime on the campus. A sign that states that the teachers are not only armed but are also trained would prevent another school tragedy. In the state of Texas legislators are hotly debating the benefits of allowing guns on college campuses. There are already several ISD’s in Texas who are considering having armed teachers on campuses. David Thweatt who is the superintendent of Harrold ISD, “…sees his job…

Amnesty International is the most recognized and well known man rights organization in the world. Amnesty International was born in 1961 when British Lawyer Peter Benenson read a story about two Portuguese students who were jailed for raising their glasses in a toast of freedom. Shocked by the incident, he took action. He published in Appeal in the Observer Newspaper urging readers to write letters on behalf of prisoner conscience around the world. In turns out, his appeal would start an…

A More Perfect Constitution The Constitution's Separation of Powers ensures that each branch of the government has certain powers that are limited by the others, with none more powerful than another. This system of shared power is known as Checks and Balances. Checks and Balances distinguish the abilities and powers of each of the three branches of government. The power of the Legislative Branch is outlined in Article 1, The Executive in Article 2, and The Judicial in Article 3, the separation…
