It has been 230 years since the United States constitution was signed, yet the government still follows the law of the land. The right of privacy was established when…

between right and wrong in any prevailing situation (Paine). Through common sense, it was believed that significant social as well as political achievements were eminent. Citizens used affection and reason to know what was right and wrong in the government and society in general.

In his document, Thomas…

How senseless would it be for a government to be as corrupt as an Organized Crime Group? Organized Crime Groups are criminal groups that engage illegal activities. Governments around the world are primarily established to create laws for the safety of their country. Unfortunately, not every country’s governments institute authority. The Northern Triangle which is made up of Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala is a frightening illustration of a tainted government’s image. The Northern Triangle’s…
