These articles are what provide for equal separation of powers. They grant individual powers to each branch without granting an excess amount of power to a single branch. Article I addresses that the legislative branch will legislate the laws. Article II states that the executive branch must execute…

political party like Republican), and he enjoyed a substantial amount of time with like-minded judges on the court. However, it is telling that several of his “significant” opinions are dissents in which other conservative Justices found it necessary to apply the proper constitutional standards with regard to what they viewed as unjust laws. It is a large exaggeration to call Justice Antonin Scalia one of the most significant Justices in the history of the United States Supreme Court. If one…

The 18th century was a time of change and reform for Americans. Having gained newfound independence from Great Britain, they now faced the task of coming up with an efficient way to govern themselves.

believe that this is necessary or helpful. The video spends a lot of time pointing out what people do wrong, but very little time teaching them how to fix it. What about the people who have not had luxury of a solid educational environment due to low economic status or health issues? I don’t think watching this video is going to make them instantly better at grammar, but it will probably make them feel bad about themselves. In reality, I think many people have a decent grip of proper grammar,…

Aristotle, for instance, asserts that if the upward movement of a light thing and the downward movement of a heavy thing are caused by themselves, then why these things cannot move themselves toward the opposite directions of their proper places without being externally forced. To be more specific, Aristotle asks why fire does not move downward or why earth does not move upward by themselves. He then concludes that unlike living bodies like animals, these four elements are not…
