The Partisan

The Holocaust is the killing of millions of Jews by the Nazi’s. When Hitler came to power he blamed the undesirables for all of Germany’s problems. He thought that his race was superior to all the others. He decided to set up killing camps and concentration camps to make them work. The U.S. was dragged in world war two and helped the Jews and the other alliances helped win the war. Some alliances were the resistance that didn’t like what the Nazi’s were doing to the others. The Nazi…

the local government has authority on road maintenance and law enforcement (McCleskey, 99). The elections in municipal government are non-partisan. The main responsibilities of the municipal government is to create rules and regulations under the ‘code of ordinances.' Special districts are under the city and county governments, and their elections are non-partisan or on an appointment basis (Patterson, et. al., 102). The most common special district is the independent school district, which is…

the republicans votes in the republicans districts and then they will do the same for the democrats votes. (Macdonell, Scott Taplin). Another strategy is the used partisan gerrymandering, most courts did not recognize this until the 1980s, and that they wanted to do was bring down the whole district plans. They wanted the concept of partisan gerrymandering was to turn the conversion of votes to seats, and suggested to be shaped into a legal test. (Stephanopoulos, Nicholas…

This could be due, in part, to institutional rules change to promote majoritarian party control and party discipline in Congress (Aldrich and Rohde 2001). Since party control of Congress and political institutions becomes more important to pass a partisan-polarized party platform, as a result elections become more contentious and competitive. Political party leaders strategize elections to target moderate candidates of the opposite party as a way to gain majorities in Congress (Lee…

At this particular section, I was trying to use an excerpt of the story to show to the reader where Yolen was trying to show a lesson of selflessness. However, the way I set it up made it confusing for the reader. I can understand why this quote is problematic and I see how I can improve it. The first thing I would do would be to clarify the overall paragraph, especially the introduction. So I would rewrite it this way, A strong negative connotation is associated with the Holocaust, but…

the way people vote and why I believe that the rational choice theory of voting specifically the altruistic theory of voting with a focus on a partisan form of altruistic voting offers a better explanation for why people vote the way that they do. I will achieve this goal by at first putting forth my reasoning and evidence for why I believe that the partisan altruistic theory of voting offers the best explanation then I…

Political Realists holds the view that those arguing that politics should be separated from administration should get real and that humans are by nature political animals. In other words, the Civil Service should be allowed to take part in active partisan politics since the two cannot be separated. Most importantly, they argued that if the Civil service is robed in party colours, it would go a long way and adversely improve the quality of their policy prescription and the successfulness of their…

During primary elections, party competition heightens over voter participation as it determines the direction of political change in Texas. Up until 1960, the Democratic Party controlled nearly all Texas elections. This is because, “when one political party tends to dominate [the selection of a public official], voters who wish to participate in choosing their local public officials must vote in that party’s primary” (197). But over the half past-century, many counties have shifted from the…

76 percent of the American public believes that the Republican and the Democrat parties do not have the capacity to mend the country’s problems because of political polarization (Hayden). In layman’s terms, political polarization is the division of political parties based on extreme ideologies. Political polarization has been a hot topic in light of the ongoing political campaigns. Nonetheless, this is not news because the major American political parties have always been polarized over the…

Texas is one of the states where judicial elections are partisan. The candidates run for the office as Democrats or Republicans and the voters see the party labels on the ballot. Candidates are chosen based on their partisan affiliation just like those who run for presidency. According to Wallace B. Jefferson, the newly retired Chief Justice of Texas's Supreme Court, the way Texas selects its judges is wrong. In the article “Chief Justice Condemns Judicial Elections” he points at the problems…
