The American Revolution caused high war-debt issues, requiring immediate and effective attention, which in my opinion demanded a strong centralized government. Hamilton’s…

In this two-party system will these polls actually reveal anything for republicans or democrats? In a country with over 318 million, people there are varying ideologies and attitudes.

The United States of America is built on the principles of government based on the consent of the people. Because of this, citizens have the right to vote for their mayors, governors, judges and most importantly the president.

Creating more rules and regulations will make voting even more convoluted and worthless to many Americans, especially with the dominance of a two-party system and how the Constitution sets up how the President of the United States is elected. The United States is run by a republic type of government that is designed to…

In theory, this system of government gives ordinary people the power to influence and change the government. The first modern democratic system established in England, in 1689, 327 years ago.

Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The USSR was a Marxist-Leninist state governed by a single party (Docherty, 1997, p. 85), and abided by a constitution known as the Brezhnev Constitution. This constitution was adopted in 1977 and was the third and last Soviet constitution before the fall of the USSR.
