Republican Argumentative Essays Samples For Students

Introduction

The immigration legislation in the U.S. today is the product of decades worth of political wrangling and public anger on both sides of the debate. The immigration debate has gone back and forth between the two political parties in this country to such a degree that there is de facto compromise on the elements of reform, and now all we have to do is implement the reforms that are already in place. The argument has gone back and forth for decades with both Democratic and Republican regimes signing legislation that encourages immigration then opposes immigration. The full circle is here ...

One of the more striking features of the 2012 Presidential election in the United States was the refusal of any Republican candidates for any office to support, at least publicly, any sort of new taxes of any kind. Whether it was in the initial debates leading up to the primary season, or in the debates between Governor Romney and President Obama, the Republican argument was that all deficit reduction should come from reductions in spending rather than adding any new revenue streams to the government. The person behind this motif in the campaign was the one who shaped politics ...

The End of the Two-Party Political System

The two party political system in the United States started during the 19th century, and the major parties are the Republicans and the Democrats.

The end of a two party system and the introduction of a Multi-party system in the United States is a subject that creates a great debate. The proponents of the two party system argue that this political system is more stable and predictable compared to a multi-party political system. The founding fathers of the United States of ...

Governor Wilson ran full-page ads in the major California newspapers, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, to launch his anti-immigrant based re-election campaign. The ads were in the form of a letter to President Clinton, demanding that he halt illegal immigration to the State of California as well as reimburse the state for the cost of federally mandated health, education, welfare services, and the incarceration of undocumented immigrants. Remarkably, Governor Wilson was able to narrow the complex political and economic conditions besieging California. It proved to be a politically astute move. In doing so, Wilson obfuscated the ...

On the 20th of March, 2003, the Unites States of America launched an offensive against Iraq. This war was called as “Iraqi Freedom Operation” and led to the defeat and eventual capture of the Iraqi President and Baath Party leader Saddam Hussein. The war lasted only ten days but the consequences were far reaching, echoes of which can still be felt today. It has also proved to be a long, protracted and expensive war for the US with many analysts terming the situation as a quagmire for the US as well as its allies. It was the second war that the ...

The economic growth of United States became even better in the 1900s which also brought about the disparity of wealth between the rich and the poor. The government and Wall Street have been working together in order to formulate laws that will favour the banks and the rich community (Penner). When there is a reduction of tax payment the rich will be able to continue investing and increasing their wealth while the poor may increase their wealth but it will not be same because they cannot afford to take risks with their wealth. The politicians also get their funding from ...

Libertarians are known as ‘classical liberals’. Their views is that each person’s welfare, success, and societal placement can be nurtured by the simple act of the government staying out of their individual pursuit of liberty. The ideals of libertarianism forces one to question: What might happen? What does one need for survival? What are ‘real-world’ concerns? Are they necessary concerns? How can we overcome all that is unnecessary to solve problems that occur in concerns we have no control over?
There are a plethora of different views and opinions about Libertarianism and what it is. Some believe, “Libertarianism ...

President Obama is a Keynesian and social democrat in domestic policy, and has been forced to deal with the worst depression since the 1930s. He has rightfully rejected the conservative laissez faire policies of the last thirty years in favor of government stimulus, investments and support of the economy that have prevented far worse consequences for the American people. In this area his policies are far preferable to those of his Republican opponents and he should be reelected. This is also true of his foreign policy, which is more realistic and pragmatic than that of his opponents and less likely ...

The two-party system in the United States arose out of an ideological debate on the nature of government and the country’s historical circumstances. While the parties were viewed as both sinister to the existent of the state by the founding fathers, the two party system was borne out of a debate pushed by Washington’s supporters including Madison and Hamilton. The parties emerged as a temporary solution to provide an ideological vehicle for voters to express their preference on whether they preferred a big government or not. The Federalist Party, led by Hamilton favoured a strong government and a close association between the government ...

Question 1

As president Barrack Obama’s second term of office comes to an end, several observations can be made about some of the positive and the negative effects he has had on the welfare of the American citizens as well as the country in general. Some of the achievements that Obama was able to realize include the fact that he influenced the congress to come up with better regulation on pertinent issues such as the rights of the gay people and immigrants. The topic of gun control is another contentious issue that president Obama also managed to address during his ...

Irving Kristol makes a solid argument for why the political institutions of America are successful. However, there are some large gaps within the logic that can be argued. It is true that many feel strongly about the American way of life, and that this may be in our bones. But, this does not prove the effectiveness of political institutions. Instead, it proves the effectiveness of our culture’s ability to socialize those within. The socialization through culture is a specific area of study for Anthropologists, arguably proving this to be a true aspect of society, especially in America. Thus, ...

Is Firing Bad Teachers the Real Solution to the De Facto Segregation in the U.S. Education System?

In “Why We Must Fire Bad Teachers”, Evan Thomas and Pat Wingert have once again identified a very old problem in the U.S. education system, that there is a huge distinction in education quality and outcomes based on class and race in this country. There always has been, and in reality it is still a system that is very highly segregated by race and social class. All the concerns about low graduation rates and falling test scores over the last thirty years are actually a ...

Executive Action Plan for Immigration Reform

The immigration laws in the United States are in need of an update. This country is originally made up of immigrants, and immigrants today contribute to our economy. Citizens of the United States have varying views on immigration and the laws that should or should not be upheld. Being an immigrant myself, I feel that immigration is of a large to concern to myself and my family.

Analyze Opposing Sides Writing Assignment 3

As I earlier stated regarding the September 9th article regarding president Obama’s $450 job plan, it is a worthwhile venture for the nation as a whole. I totally agree with the president on his call to the congress to avoid the political circus at such a pressing time for the country. I agree that the proposal will go a long way in cutting on payroll taxes and feting any company that endeavors to hire new employees. At the same time, the proposal will see to it that the expenditure on public works such as roads will be boosted by up to $105 ...

Human Right or Commodity? The Ethics of Universal Health Care

The political storm raging over the Obama administration’s health care reform legislation sometimes obscures the fact that universal health care has been a bone of contention in Washington for decades. The American Medical Association (AMA) first endorsed the idea of health care for all Americans in 1921. In the early 1990s the AMA put forth a short-lived proposal for providing affordable insurance for all citizens but it fell victim to politics and traditional (some would say irrational) fears over the socializing of America’s health care system. Politics favored the push for health care reform this time around - the ...
