State

The Federal versus State governments hasn’t been equal since the writing of the Constitution and is still going on present day. The state and Federal governments have been affecting lives since the beginning. The constitution granted the Federal government with more superior powers, while the state governments have the lower side of powers compared to the federal. There has been a court case which reduced the states powers, Such as in Sturges v. Crownshield, where the chief justice John Marshall let the states pass bankruptcy laws but couldn’t be applied to debts brought upon oneself before the ratification of the law. John Marshall had many cases which reduced the power of the states. Nullification also played a role with the feud between…

the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Maryland Girls State program was an eye-opening occasion. I went to Girls State knowing little to nothing about the government in the state of Maryland. I had no interest in running for any type of government office. Girls State was originally just a place to get away from my parents for a week, but once I got there I realized it was so much more. The first day was not a full day because of registration but it felt like it because of all the…

State schools give free education but many schools solicit from parents to give a voluntary contribution. This can be classified into two categories: open state schools and selective state schools. An open state schools accept all students from their government-defined catchment areas, and instruct using the Curriculum and Standards Framework. Many open state schools have selective…

order for a country to be given the title of state it must first meet a few criteria. The country must have defined borders and a permanent population. It must also be sovereign, or self governing. A state should also have the capacity to enter into relations with other states. Countries that meet some, but not all of these requirements are not recognized within the international system as states, but instead may be referred to as quasi-states.

the World State, people lead “happy” oblivious lives with laws they chose long ago when they were plagued by war. While they might not realize what they are missing now, they are happy behind their wall of ignorance which they had chosen to build. Alternatively, people in the United States lead lives that can be sometimes filled with hardships and for some even misery. However, their lives of hard work can be rewarding for those who strive and work for a better future. United States’ citizens…

The role of the state in the economy is a very current and debated issue. Should the government be narrowed down as an institution and an observer, or should it have an active role as a regulator and intervener? Especially the financial and bank crisis of 2008 raised the question of the government’s role within the economy – people wondered could the crisis have been avoided if we would have had stronger government intervention. Some people argue against a strong economic state, stating that too…

The promises are usually elusive, millions of promises have been made to people only to tie them to buy more and more tickets of the…

be for any government job because I could guarantee that in a government job there’s more things going on, and also more hate goes around. But also I think that killing would be something not literal so in other words it would be more like harm or like punish. In my opinion, I don’t think a government would be really irritated to kill some people, there could be certain occasions where the government was a not letting any loose reins. A powerful government is not formed by the money it has, nor…
