Parties

PART I: THE CURRENT STATE OF RELATIONS BETWEEN PRESIDENT AND PARTY PARTY HISTORY Parties were originally formed in the 1830s in order to hold the constitutional presidency accountable to a highly decentralized system, but since the creation of parties, presidents have become dependent on them for both campaigning and governing (Milkis and Rhodes 2009, 1-26). In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, presidents have used the support of their party members in Congress to establish programs that will secure authority for them to exercise autonomous power (Milkis and Rhodes 2009, 1-26). The first presidents to practice a strong relationship between the presidency and the party were President Reagan and President George W. Bush. In order to…

Title Here “The Garden Party” is both a coming of age tale and a look at the class disparity in New Zealand at the time. The story follows Laura on the day of her family’s big garden party as she interacts with members of both classes and prepares for the big event. It is no surprise that a short story called “The Garden Party” is full of descriptions of plants and various flowers. However, Katherine Mansfield utilizes them for more than just the setting. Each plant mentioned holds a deeper…

Margaret Thatcher, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, once said, “I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.” This comes from the fact that all humans have different ideas; how things should be organized and carried out. This same reality is true for the Green Party and the Republican Party. The left-leaning, Green Party focuses largely on environmental issues. One of the issues addressed by the party is energy…

Republican Party. One of their main goals is to bring awareness to the public in terms of not spending more money than what it takes in and live under the constitution. This particular movement advocates for reduced U.S. government spending and reduction of the nation’s debt. Although, this does not particularly apply to everyone, members of the Tea Party typically consist of white older men. Unlike liberals, their core beliefs include of having a strict adherence to…

The Nazi party was first known as the German Worker’s Party in 1919. Hitler first joined the party after the defeat of Germany in World War I, in 1919. The party was created the same year by a small group that included Anton Drexler, and Karl Harrer. The German Worker’s party was created to promote anti-semitism and German nationalism. Hitler helped get new members to the party and helped people turn and join him with his persuasive speeches blaming the Jewish people and Marxists for the…

Birthday Party Videos Project#1 Yamilette Gonzalez The University of Arizona Birthday Party Videos Project#1 Introduction: For this project I decided to compare and contrast two typically developing children of ages two and five. I chose the videos from the list provided to the class, which where girl #2 on the 2-year-old column and girl# 1 on the 5 year old column. My hypothesis based on what I know from this course so far and reading a couple of articles on the web, is that the…

The Liberal Party originated in the reformist opposition groups that emerged in the mid-19th century in what are now the provinces of Quebec and Ontario “Rouges” (Reds) in the former and Clear Grits in the latter. The looseness and instability of all party formations at the time were especially persistent on what came to be called the Liberal side. Both before and after the 1867 creation of the Canadian federation, the Conservatives under Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister,…

The Whigs were a party made up of a diverse group brought together by their distaste of “King Andrew” Jackson, the current president. While the Whigs started out centered around the National Republican party, remnants of other parties such as the anti-masonic and democratic parties also joined the ranks of John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, and Daniel Webster as supporters of the Whig party. These party members joined because they felt that they had in some way been alienated by Jackson’s stand on…

The Libertarian Party highly values liberty, and idealizes a world where every individual makes his or her own choices for themselves. They have elected Gary Johnson as president and William Weld as vice president. The national debt, war on drugs, and civil liberties are three main issues to the candidate. Gary Johnson strongly believes that excessive spending by the government is one of the greatest threats to national security, legalizing marijuana would create a safer society and an…

After many years, the two parties have seemingly flipped around. Once the Republican wanted a strong federal government and now they…
