Sovereign Grace Ministries

interchangeably used in this context. Sovereignty can be referred to as the independent authority over a territory (country or state). States can be said to be sovereign if there is no authority in the form of an international organization or supranational entity to tell them what to do.

Sovereignty also refers to the territory and also to the allegiance of…

There are three international relation theories, Realism, Liberal institutionalism, and Constructivism, which attempt to predict state behavior. Neorealism best predicts state’s behavior. Neo-realists claim that the international system is anarchic meaning there is no legitimate authority. The states are the major actors of the system. Since the system is anarchic, states fear for survival and thus help themselves by pursuing hard power: territory, resources, money, and population. The ability…

Our world has had many historical impacts nevertheless, The Magna Carta has significantly shaped our world to what is it today. The governments, kings, and dictators, have passed many acts or deeds and so on however, The Magna Carta did much more for citizens than just give them rights. It helped people to understand that their own life is their life and they do not need to be under the control of someone who has a higher power or authority. Citizens desperately needed something to help speak…

Out of the numerous actors that play apart in international politics, I find that the most critical and vital is the state. It is the primary vehicle for diplomacy, stability, defense and cooperation in a world of anarchy with no other actor existing above it. The nation-state has existed since 1648 after the Peace of Westphalia. The two international theory paradigms I will be using to prove my point is Realism and Liberalism, both in how they conflict with one another, but as well, the common…

The government immensely overstepped its legal boundary to set up the Prism program in the year 2001. The citizens of the United States were not made aware about the program and the only time any public statement was made about it was by Edward Snowden an ex – CIA system analyst in 2013. So, it was 12 years after that we came to know about the program and the NSA was illegally collecting our personal data. Since the public was not made aware of it, there was an outrage when the citizens of…

To what extent do you think the U.S.-Canadian magazine dispute was motivated by genuine desires to protect Canadian culture? I believe that U.S. and Canadian magazine dispute is motivated by the Canadian government’s desire to protect Canadian culture and local magazine from foreign completion. Although Canada is a second large country in the world, it has less population than the State of California alone. Therefore, the market of newspapers and magazines are much smaller that in the USA.…

Attention all Americans! The time has come to band together become a federalist nation. Help us develop ideas to improve our Articles of Confederation. We need to establish a cooperative government in order to allow all our citizens and states proper representation in our country. Our new federal government must be strong and powerful protecting all our communities and states. We must be able to offer a way to provide financial security, protection of freedom, success of commerce, and establish…

When the federal government was first created, the intent of the Founders was to have a national government share power throughout the branches of government. However, some say federalism is dead. Many believe that the federal system is ineffective and inefficient in the way it deals with the nation’s issues. However, in the United States, the federal system is a necessary system because of the diversity of opinions, the concept of laboratory of democracy, and protection against tyranny.…

When the United States first established the federal government with the Constitution, the fledgling country had many issues. The founding fathers faced opposition and were trying to figure out a way to alleviate some of the problems they had faced with the Articles of Confederation. The citizens of the young country did not want to give up their hard earned rights and live under a similar form of government that they just escaped from and Articles had left the country too weak. This is why the…
