An American person as a whole has two distinct historical periods that define his or her origin in the United States. American history is marked importantly by two historical eras, namely, the Colonial Period and the Revolutionary era. Furthermore, this has, therefore, made the United States a repository of two major forces: the immigrants from Europe with diverse cultures, ideas, and nationalities as well as the great impact of the new country that modified these diverse European national…

For 86% of Americans, health care as they know it will not be changed. The Affordable Care Act, arguably President Obama’s largest achievement in office, has faced much backfire, both with lack of support, as well as raised issues of Constitutionality. This being said, Obamacare has been implemented and now has goals to be fully functional by the year 2016. Many Americans did not know how this change in national health care effects them, which is why many people are against it, simply because…

The federal government should devolve more power to state government because policymaking is more effective at the state level. By allowing each state to pass policies that benefit them in their favor allows for state to run efficiently. Each states has their own economy that would be affected if the a policy was put into place that hinder their ability to produce the products needed to boost their economy and the nations. Federalism throughout has changed and shaped our modern federalism. The…

In Mexico during the early 1980’s, a group of young siblings living in poverty tell an important story of the immigrant experience and the drives behind migration. Reyna Grande’s, The Distance Between Us, is a memoir written with the recurring appeal to the reader’s pathos. Grande uses the rhetorical strategy to keep the reader’s interest and to help them make personal connections to the story. Grande’s use of pathos helps to show not only the importance of understanding the immigrant experience…

Defining Federalism is like describing the design and craftsmanship of a well patchwork quilt. A quilt which top layer consist of pieces of fabric that purpose is embedded in the US Constitution. A quilt made of a specific design with specific purpose. The top layer is a plain woven piece of muslin cloth of democracy. The individual pieces of clothe are woven together with thread of “federalism”, where each stitch which is symbolic of a self-governing units of shared, distributed powers…

Within the walls of a public school system, the defining moment of a school success is an effective Student Support Team, merely because the rate of students and their attendance are drastically changing. These situations along with many other variables tremendously affect African American males and the graduation rates across the country, state and right at Wilkinson County High School. Importantly, the student support team will have a positive outcome in the school system in solving the…

“We the People” is a very important statement in the Preamble of the United States constitution. When thinking of what the three simple words “We the People” means to me is that the constitution was written for the people and by the people. However depending on the time frame, “We the People” did not apply to all citizens. The preamble and the constitution was written in a time when there was slavery and not all people were treated the same. In today’s society I believe “We the People”…

that’s a state law only. The federal law on the other hand states that you must be at least 18 years old to purchase cigarettes. The states can decide for themselves if they want to raise this minimum, but the U.S. government doesn’t allow it to be any younger. The Federalists wanted the U.S. government to hold most of the legal power, while the Anti-Federalists argued that the states should have more power to decide what laws would be enforced throughout the country. In my opinion, I believe…

In Chapter 7, Land of Opportunity, Loewen discusses social class throughout US History. For the most part, people will stay in the same social class for their whole life. If you were born in the lower class, you will most likely die in the lower class. Same for middle and upper classes. This is because of opportunity. Americans like to preach on how America is the “Land of Opportunity,” even though not everyone is given an equal opportunity. Babies born into the lower classes are usually less…
