We shouldn’t hold onto beliefs or laws that are outdated. The decisions of these judges impact not only the parties involved in a particular case, but also the entire judicial system and even society at large. The federal judges shouldn’t use the own personal morals and beliefs that reflect their…

of government where powers would be separated into different branches, so that no one person or institution could have absolute or undivided power. This system would allow three branches to make, interpret and carry out the law. The idea behind separation of powers is to maintain rule of law. The founding fathers believed that if these powers were given to a single entity, tyranny would be a very possible outcome. The legislative, or lawmaking branch is Congress. Article I of the constitution…

Does Freedom Need to be Won More Than Once? Slavery? Abolished. Women's rights? Won. Will we ever have to win those freedoms again? My belief is no. What would this country be like without our rights? It’d be chaos with little to no freedoms. We have whole documents dedicated to rights! We have the Constitution, we have the Bill of Rights, plenty of things stating that this country has rights, and are sticking to them. In America, laws are often made to fix something that has been going…

Washington D.C, the state that was founded on November 11, 1889 by the first President of the United States, George Washington. I want to go on this trip because I want to learn about the Supreme Court and the White House. Another place I would like to learn about is the World War II Memorial. The first place I would want to see is the Supreme Court. I want to learn about the Supreme Court because it is the only court that was made by the Constitution and it is the only court that leads the…

For Brown and others: The key characteristic of the independent regulator model…

I am in favor of the Supreme Court’s decision to rule against Arizona making stricter immigration laws. I am in favor because what Arizona is trying to do goes against the Constitution and 28 U.S. Code 1251. In the Constitution, it states in Article 1 Section 8 clause 4 that Congress has the power to make rules about who and when people can become citizens. Also in the Constitution, in Article 1 Section 8 clause 10, it says that Congress has the power to define and punish, “Offences against the…

a Democrat, while the the Senate majority leader, John J. Flanagan, is a Republican (Ballotpedia n.d.). Political parties are a crucial component to the New York legislature because the parties control the overall processes, the legislation, and the leadership. The partisanship in the Assembly, unlike in the Senate, is controlled dominantly by the Democrats, 105 to 44, with one open seat (Ballotpedia n.d.). Since the Senate is tied on partisanship, the parties have to work hard to ensure the…
