In any given government, it is important to have checks and balances so as to ensure that no branch is more powerful than the other; a fundamental approach greatly expounded upon by the greatest political philosopher James Madison. According to Article II, Section I of the Texas Constitution, the government’s power is divided into the Legislative, executive and Judicial branches. The law-making branches consist of the executive branch, which has the governor, lieutenant governor and attorney…

As a member of Congress, my job is to represent the state of Georgia. I am one of fourteen representatives who meet with Congress to discuss matters such as Agriculture, Education, and Financial Services. On a day to day basis, I help in the lawmaking process; I investigate into scandals; I attend hearings conducted by Congress; and I represent the state of Georgia in conferences. Currently in Washington D.C., there is a hearing being conducted by Congress regarding an investigation- more…

powers or explicit powers. They include: - Legislative Powers: State of the Union address to Congress, recommending legislation to Congress, convening both houses of Congress on "extraordinary occasions", adjourn Congress if they cannot agree, and veto legislation (but Congress can overturn it with a 2/3 majority) - National Security Powers: commander-in-chief, ability to make treaties with Senate approval of 2/3, appoint ambassadors (with Senate approval majority), and receive ambassadors from…

true pleasure and nobility of nature without frequent communication, sympathy, and service.”We may have many friendships, but only a handful of them stand out and mean something to us. Real friends always aim to pay attention to each other's needs and veto the “what’s in it for me” mentality. True friendship fabricates when two people genuinely seek first to understand the other person before being understood themselves. Solid communication among two people leads to characteristics that will…

which may be intolerant by nature. Hate speech laws prevent the ability for self expression if the views you wish to express are intolerant towards the protected groups. Hate speech laws allow groups to have the opportunity to use the “I’m offended” veto to shut down any speech they dislike. This restricts the openness that Garton Ash claims is just as necessary as the civility for living in a diverse society.…

talking it to death. Finally everyone in the Senate will vote on the bill and if it passes then it moves on to the chamber of Congress and then once both have approved the bill, it will be sent to the the President who has the decision to sign or veto the bill. If he decides that we need to make this a law then he signs it and it becomes official when my bill is now a…

The United States Constitution did a better job of achieving the principles that the American Revolution fought for than the Articles of Confederation did. The United States Constitution applied and enforced all of the rights that were gained in the Revolutionary war and granted the United States with a democracy. The Government could be divided into three branches of power; the colonist could choose who they wanted to represent them in the House of Representatives, and through the Bill of…

intention to promote it, as well as senators, but so that this reform be given is necessary first carried out an idea in Congress, where it must be approved by both legislative chambers. Only then, and always that President Obama does not decide to veto the text approved by the Congress, immigration reform would become a reality.It is worth mentioning that although you have yet to know all the details of the initiative of the senators or the President Obama, both parties have mentioned that this…

We have a checks and balance system in place that bills must go through congress, and the senate. The president can however suggest bills, veto bills, and approve bills that have already been reviewed through the house. This is a huge issue with uneducated Americans who do not know the correct process a bill must go through to get passed and think that they know what they are talking about…

Two of the most important weakness of the Article of Confederation were how it had no chief executive and no court system. In Philadelphia 1787, the Constitution was signed but James Madison was worried that the Constitution couldn’t create a government that was free of tyranny. How does the Constitution, a document that spells out the plan for the government, protect against tyranny, abuse of power by one person? The Constitution protects against tyranny by using separation of powers, checks…
