Special Operations Executive

The Special Operations Executive, or the SOE, was a British intelligence agency that was formed shortly before the outbreak of World War II in 1940 (CITE). One of the main intentions of getting formed was to tackle the most powerful regimes in history, Hitler’s German empire (CITE).

The United States of America is still arguably still the greatest nation on the planet. Funk & Wagnalls (2015) defines a corporation as “an organization, recognized and created by law, which allows people to associate together for a common purpose under a common name.” It is my assertion that America acts as a corporation in interest of economic, legislative, and judicial stability, only not legally incorporated because the government itself would be the granting body. With that in mind the…

tenure will evolve into a group of oppressive justices. Americans seek to deviate from oppressors, and to deviate from lifelong tenure of Supreme Court justices provides the safest route while safeguarding individual rights.

The Legislative branch made the law to where all voting age was 18-years-old in National, State, and local elections. The Executive branch enforced the law, and then the Judicial branch interpreted and checked the law and ended up sending it back. The Justices…

One branch cannot hold all the power because our freedom will be in danger. Montesquieu, a french philosopher, said the secret of freedom in a government is separation of power. With this new Constitution, the legislative branch will not hold all of the federal power. Instead, the federal power will be divided into three branches: a Judicial Branch that will interpret the law, an Executive Branch that will execute the law, and a Legislative branch that will make the laws. This will create a…
