According to the 22th Amendment, adopted in 1951, the president can not be elected more than two times and perform their duties longer than eight years. The president can become citizen by birth, over ...

Much of the work that relates to the citizen falls on the elected official. Despite the fact that the duty of the elected official is to represent the people, the public professional sees to it that the needs of the citizens reach the elected official. If, for instance, there is a problem that concerns the citizens, the public professional has the responsibility to ensure that the problem is addressed by the elected official. However, much of the bulk work will be done by the public professional. For all this to work effectively, it is essential for the communication relationship ...

McConnell versus Grimes for United States Senate

- Introduction
When most Americans think about election time, they often refer to the Presidential election that occurs every four years. However, the outcomes of the United States midterm election most often affect Americans on an individual level compared to the outcomes of the Presidential race. Midterm elections are held every two years after the four-year Presidential election has occurred.
Virtually all United States Congress, including the House of Representatives and Senate, have seats up for grabs, and at least three-fourths of our 50 states will hold gubernatorial elections as well (Pfiffner and Davidson 254). It should come as ...

It was the great American President, Abraham Lincoln, who said that democracy is a government of the people, for the people and by the people. Indeed, this statement aptly captures the fact that the people (citizenry) are a central pillar in any democratic system. However, as with any form of government, there always arises the governing and the governed. This is also the case in a democracy such as the United States of America where the elected leaders form the governing class and the rest of the citizens are the governed. For such a system to work effectively there ...

Introduction

Democracy in the United States was meant to give power to the people by creating a separation of powers into three main arms of government. The reason was to create a governance structure in which no single individual or institution of government will override its power and erode the civil liberties of individual Americans. The American democracy was seen as an improvement over the monarchy in Britain and the colonial government the people had experienced. One of the elements of American democracy was the establishment of an independent Supreme Court (head of the Judiciary) that has to be led ...

Question 1

Please fully discuss why it is beneficial for a nation that women be elected to political office.

On the contrary, justice arguments are clear for the representation of ...

The U.S. Political System
The United States of America’s political system is based on the Constitution which was written in 1787. The federal constitutional republic currently consists of 50 states. The core value that the Founders wanted to promote through the constitution was the prevention of the monopoly of power by a party or an individual. Comprising a Preamble, followed by 7 Articles and, presently, 27 Amendments, the Constitution is the premise on which the country’s federal government is based. The US political system is complex as it strives to ensure that the balanced distribution of power ...

Today, many countries of the world are governed in different political systems. The main determiner of what system a country follows in exercising authority is in connection to historical factors. For instance, a former colonial of a certain country adopts a political system from her colonial masters. However, this is not always the same. Many countries’ political structures have evolved from their initial colonial adaptations to accommodate the interests of the local people to which they serve (Andersen et al., 37). This essay will explore the aspects of power and authority across four countries. They include the United States ...

Although the term “lobbyist” was coined during the administration of President Ulysses Grant, the practice had long been in use before President Grant’s administration. Therefore, lobbying is not a new phenomenon in the United States. In simple terms, lobbying refers to the practice of making attempts to influence government decisions and policies. Although lobbying takes place at every level of government, in many of the occasions, lobbyists target congresspersons with the aim of explaining how the interest groups that they represent would be affected by certain policy decisions. Although viewed by the media and the public with deep ...

This type of government provides a platform for the citizens to have equal and full participation- either through representatives or directly-in the creation and development of laws that govern a country.

There were two Reconstructions in American history, although the first one in 1865-77 ended with restoration of home rule and white supremacy in the South, rather than equal citizenship and voting rights promised in the 14th and 15th Amendments. In fact, it ended in extreme violence, with perhaps 50,000 blacks being murdered when the Ku Klux ...

Introduction

The debate on the adequacy and sufficiency of presidential versus parliamentary systems has been raging since the fall of the Soviet Union and its communist ideals. Academicians, scholars, and politicians from diverse parts of the world are deeply stratified by the two democratic systems, with each side professing more benefits than the other. The choice of a democratic system for a nation depends on varying factors such as their culture, history, demographic characteristics, and composition of the population (O’Neil, 2012). While each democratic system has its own merits and demerits, I personally think that the presidential system is ...

Pros and Cons of the Notwithstanding Clause

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms contains the notwithstanding clause. This clause has been a major talking point in Canadian politics. This is because the notwithstanding clause gives power to the provincial legislatures or the parliament to override certain portions of the rest of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Morton (2002) notes that this clause is also controversial in any instances such that there is a valid argument against its application when used and, on the other hand, its use seems unavoidable. This paper discusses the pros and cons of using this clause.

Is American democracy working?

Democracy refers to rule by the people to the people and for the people particularly as the government either indirectly or directly through elected representatives (Skocpol and Morris 12). The voters usually end up supporting whom they perceive to offer the best promises at the moment, regardless of the long-term consequences to the nation. Voting, in other words, is a contest based on short-term rewards rather than long-term vision.

Introduction

The principle of democracy and promoting the rule of law are two aspects modern constitutions seek to achieve, whether at state or federal level. Democracy connotes majority consensus on the part of the citizens in defining and shaping key issues. It would be inaccurate to assume that the American constitution is inherently democratic (pure democracy for that matter). Essentially, elections are carried out by the majority of the citizenry who choose officials (Chiappinelli, 2007). These officials are given the responsibility of determining the country’s direction. This way, democracy is transformed from the determination of many to where few ...

The Reality of “Accepted Truths” Today

Introduction

Studying political science necessitates critical thought on the status of “accepted truths” as applied to contemporary American politics in comparison to its past. Review of the literature whether this remains an appropriately assigned characteristic of American politics as recognized forty years ago frames the discourse of the scholastic task presented in this document.

One great American historian Werner Sombart, 1906, once referred to America as in the Canaan of capitalism, implying that America was meant to offer the European capitalists the “Promised Land” and this they in deed found once they got to America. Capitalism led to the rise of owners and non owners of the means of investments, an investor would set up a manufacturing company and the non owners would then be used as sources of labor and this led to class development in the early (America Lichtenstein, Nelson. 2005).

1. Minority nationalism is a phenomenon that exists in minority communities within larger, more homogenous populations. For instance, in China, most of the population is Han Chinese, but the minority groups are very cloistered and self-contained. These types of groups can also be seen in the United States and Europe, within cities or countries that have relatively sequestered minority populations (Bale 2013).
In places where there is a large majority population and a number of smaller, less well-represented populations, minority nationalism is a form of self-defensive nationalism (Bale 2013). In countries where democratic parties are often split down ethnic ...

Much like the earlier Populist movement, the progressives sought changes in the US Constitution that promoted democratic reform by allowing a petition by the people to be voted into a law, public referendum where voter approval would be sought for laws proposed by politicians, and for Senators to be elected directly instead of relying on state legislatures. However, while the Populists were focused on the labor and farming class, Progressives were anchored in the increasingly influential middle class. As they belonged to a higher class and were generally better educated than the Populists, Progressives succeeded in having several reforms ...
