Two political parties developed during George Washington's presidency due to different responses to the events of the early 1790’s. Federalist thought the events such as the Whiskey Rebellion or the French Revolution, proved that if the people were left with too much power it would foster disorder and rebellion. Republicans, differed in opinion as they thought the Whiskey Rebellion and the French Revolution were assertions that the true source of political power should rest with the people.…

the political party with the highest representation in the house of commons. Sone more responsibilities are: It signs treaties and agreements with other countries, it makes laws, and defends the nations. An example of signing treaties was the 1949 NATO treaty which was a defensive strategy that brought some countries together. Local government consists of: Unitary authorities, London boroughs, metropolitan borough, county councils, district councils. Local government is also responsible for…

AR-15 and Attachments The myth, the legend, the weapon. The AR-15 is a style of semi-automatic/automatic rifle that is used in civilian and military applications. The first design was actually named the AR-10 and was submitted to replace the M1 Garand but, lack of time and testing before military trials didn’t allow it to be adopted as the new military rifle. In 1956 the time was right for a new smaller caliber rifle and the AR-15 was designed and built by Armalite. Three years later the…

buffer zone between Russia and the Middle East, in turn bullying the small country into submission. Military force was not justified on the part of Russia, but Georgian military forces surely had the right to defend its motherland. And Georgia was not a NATO country, like Turkey, the United States, the United Kingdom, France and many other countries with powerful armies that could have used military force to defend the weaker, less powerful and wealthy country of Georgia. This is a classic case…

Throughout The Bible, passages describe the character of The Antichrist using both direct prophetic allusions and types (typology). Within all these passages, certain themes are discovered again and again. The composite picture paints a fairly simple-minded yet predetermined individual, driven by an insatiable desire for self-elevation and praise. Like Lucifer before him, this obsession will cause The Antichrist to proclaim himself as God’s co-equal, if not higher. Lucifer’s proclamation is…

Humanitarian intervention has been to the forefront of international relations since the end of the Cold-War. I believe it is critical in protecting human rights and providing emergency assistance in states where human-rights violations are being perpetrated, similar to that stated in ‘Humanitarian Intervention and Peace Operations’ by Theo Farrell. It is difficult to define humanitarian intervention, as not all States agree on what is to be included in characterising and defining intervention.…

Most people joining military service are just sent to bases constructed 300 years ago and sleeping on beds with pillows just as old. These soldiers have to take a break for their studies or jobs just to get paid scraps. This is all just to fufill the NATO GDP quota of at least 2% of a country 's GDP. Currently, Greece is undergoing a refugee crisis and the military aren 't even financed enough to be able to carry out proper…

There has been much discussion and debate over whether Russia has truly and sufficiently transitioned into a democratic state. My notion of democracy is a system that includes free-markets, free-elections and has significant amounts of political and economic competition. Looking at Russia it is clear that none of these factors are full present. Although Russia has transition significantly form a communist regime, they still remain by definition a ‘state-managed’ democracy. As for the other…

speech by Soviet Premier Khrushchev he condemns American capitalism saying, “Capitalism will find its grave in another world war…” His indirect threat widens permits fear and doubt to enter any American citizen’s mind. Additionally, the formation of NATO and the Warsaw Pact are attempts to intimidate one another. With the involvement of other countries to back one side or the other, it strengthens their chances of seeming more dangerous and “bigger”. They are attempting to display their control…

Religious freedom has often been at the center of many conflicts throughout history. The struggle between the freedom of religion and the beliefs it encompasses, have ignited tragic historical events, such as religious wars and genocides. Although the United Nations, recognizes the importance of the freedom of religious choice for all people, the struggle for these rights continue to exist and these atrocities still happen in the modern world. An excellent example of a religious-based conflict,…
