The United States of America have gone a fairly long way of establishment. Starting as a number of colonies, and ending up as one of the most powerful countries in the contemporary world, the U.S. has proved that nothing is impossible, and that mistakes can only lead to the better future. One of the greatest examples for this statement would be the existence of the Articles of Confederation, with all their vices, because it were the wrongs in this document that made it possible for the Constitution to be written. The present paper is meant to dwell upon the ...

The Articles of Confederation was an attempt to prevent a central government from wielding too much power. When ratified in 1781, there was as central government and 13 states. But despite noble intentions, the attempt to create a limited government in the Articles of Confederation failed because the central government could not raise funds from the states, could not effectively keep the peace and could not pass amendments unless all of the states agreed. Schmidt, Shelley, Bardes and Ford (2014) say in their book that the Articles did not give Congress the power to levy taxes in order to ...

The occurrence of terrorism has increased with the rise of aviation as a mode of transport. The first known incident of air terrorism was carried out in 1930 by Peruvian insurgents who hijacked an airplane to scatter propaganda leaflets. This practice subsided in the subsequent two decades due to the effect of global factors such as world war two.

At the foundations of the American Revolutionary War, of between 1775 and 1783, were calls for independence among the Patriots residing in Britain’s Thirteen Colonies in North America. The Americans emerged victoriously and as a result, the English Monarch lost its claims over the vast territories. Now, the understanding of freedom in the thirteen regions revolved around the eradication of tyranny to pave the way for democracy and for that reason alone, the United States abhorred monarchies and promoted a government based on a democratic system. To that end, it is no wonder that concerns over the central ...

Federalism in the United States may be defined as relationship between state 

governments and the federal government of the US with a progress shifting of power from the states towards the national government (Beck, 2011).

The Articles contained the direction on the ways to direct the American Revolutionary War, conduct diplomatic relations with Europe and deal with different territorial issues and Native American relations. Although, this document also became the weakness of the government, which ...

One cultural effect of the War of 1812 was that the fact that the United States had remained unscathed with its boundaries intact. This led to a focus on nationalism, and on the expansion of the country westward. A new economic agenda for the young nation was then created, which concentrated on creating market economies in industrial locations, thus allowing for economic growth for many citizens. There was the so-called “Era of Good Feelings” that evolved, providing for the ultimate unification of the country and impetus for its expansion and growth (Berkin, et al, 2014).

The Dynastic Cycle in China

As Usher writes, “A dynastic cycle is a periodic alternation of society between despotism and anarchy.” The political theory of a dynastic cycle implies to the idea that each dynasty undergoes four major steps of development: foundation, consolidation, deceleration, and extinction. After its creation, the dynasty reaches its peak giving the country all possible benefits and making it prosperous, and then declines and falls being replaced by the new dynasty. Throughout its history, China was under the reign of lots of dynasties and, hence, experienced lots of repetitive dynastic cycles. All of them had similar structures but different causes ...

The Bill of Rights is an unofficial name for the first 10 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution that were ratified by all states in order to limit the federal government’s power and protect the individual liberties (Dictionary of American History). The Bill of Rights was developed when the American colonists were no longer under the control of Great Britain and had to build up a new country that comprised many states. There was the need to develop the legal base so that all states could peacefully co-exist and there was the proper balance of power between the central ...

The study of various aspects of the history of contacts between the East and the West in the political, economic and cultural fields contributes to both the development of science and the improvement of mutual understanding and beneficial cooperation between the two civilizations. Implicitly such issues carry immense political relevance.

In other words, it is very important to identify what price ...

Over time the amount of different tribes and parties who have controlled and or tried to control Afghanistan have created an environment where control is almost impossible.

Employer sponsored retirement plans are broadly classified into two categories; defined benefit pension scheme (DB) and defined contribution plans (DC). As the name suggests, in a defined benefit pension scheme, a defined pension is paid to employees every month/quarter after the retirement till the end of life.

When Britain’s' thirteen colonies in North America took up arms against the mother country, the prospects of an independent nation demanded a new government for the free people. Notably, there was pressure to ensure that the new laws were democratic as opposed to the Monarchical rule exerted by the British on the colonists. Hence, in 1777, the Founding Fathers attempted a government based on the autonomy of the individual States by proposing the Articles of Confederation at the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia. The Articles came into effect in 1781when the States ratified them but by 1789, the ...

Abstract

The research uses literature from the Economist and the BBC in exploring Russian integration into the global economy. It denotes that low oil prices have adversely affected Russia’s position as a powerful emerging market economy. Low prices also force the Russian government on military adventures and ...

At early stages of the American Revolution, when the belief that the United States will continue to exist as an association of 13 sovereign political societies dominated, the Democrats gave priority to the constitutions of state. During the war for independence in a bitter struggle between opponents and supporters of states' rights, victory was on the side of decentralization supporters: a contractual agreement between the 13 provinces, known as the "Articles of Confederation", in 1781, consolidated the sovereignty of the states in all important areas of economic, social and political life (Jensen 15). “Articles of Confederation” was US very ...

 To date, in the fourteen Latin American countries, those in power are leftist politics (the issue what kind of leftism and the degree of radicalism it is about) will be discussed later. Regardless of all the uniqueness of the moment and the apparent dissimilarity of modern Latin American lefts with their predecessors, there is a clear tendency, which is characteristic for the Latin American model of development as a whole – a tradition of powerful leftist movements, the struggle for social transformation. Facing deep structural crisis, the continent came into a long strip of the struggle against the dictatorship, local ...

When the American Revolutionary War began, the then thirteen North America colonies of the British Empire were in need of a different government that would replace that of the Monarch. The Founding Father’s first try in attempting to establish the territories’ self-governance produced the Articles of Confederation proposed to the Second Continental Congress in the year 1777 at Philadelphia.

Many historians acknowledge the Declaration of Independence as the starting point of the American statehood and one of the most prominent democratic instruments of the United States. A large part of the Declaration takes account of all kinds of accusations against the parliament and the monarchy of England that brought tyranny to the land and undermined the economic interests of the colonists. The true value of the document lies in its social philosophy that “defined three inalienable rights (Ginsberg, et. al. 2014: 18)”: “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” (Declaration of Independence, US 1776, par. 2) The ...

Initially the leaders of the American Revolution did not consider the thought of political parties and battles between them. After the retirement from civil life, George Washington advised the Americans against the political parties in the year 1796. On the other hand, James Madison desired the idea of having political parties as a necessity; however, he did not approve them. Alexander Hamilton who liked the political and financial system of the British felt that faction was a frailty. Being an aristocrat, he favored the rich and the educated only, and considered the rest of the population as a great beast. On the ...

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution affords "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Education is a vital component for the growth and success of Britons, but with a wide range of schools to choose from, it is no easy task for parents to make the choice of school for their children. The choice becomes more difficult when the school system is categorized into two types, private and state. There is no doubt that private school has certainly some advantages over state schools and state schools are outperformed by private schools in A level and GCSE results. But having said that, neither all the private schools are best in education quality nor all the state ...

For a long time in the American history, political freedom and peoples’ wants have been in constant conflict. Among the first American political parties include the Democratic-Republicans and the Federalists. These two political parties were in opposition to each other’s ideologies. Both of them had different policies and ways of governing the people. Whereas the Federalists were preferential to a central government that was strong: with the capacity to take control over the trading activities, make agreements, collect taxes, and declare war, the Democratic-Republicans tried to regulate the national government responsibilities, giving preferentiality to local control. This paper will look ...

In a federal system, these levels consist of the federal or central government and constituent political units referred to as state or provincial or territorial governments; creating a federation. These governments are supreme when exercising power within their sphere of authority.

Power and resources in such systems are divided between the central and regional governments with some level of autonomy. The central government usually has oversight over issues of concern to the whole country while the state or regional governments deal ...

Arguably, many people in the world believe American government, to be democratic. In fact, they have various stable means to exercise popular control over their institutions and lawmakers. This is actually a basic paradox of American government because these powers are in most cases fragmented through the federalist system. Undeniably, these institutions are repeatedly unresponsive to the majority of public demands. The public always depend on this institutions and lawmakers in various ways; hence, it influences voter participation, as well as citizen participation in nation building.

In United States, federal system is a philosophical and political concept that elaborates on how ...

In 1777, the colonies adopted the Articles of Confederation – a document that served as the first constitution of the United States (Ginsberg et al 34).

California Government: Section Readings Key Points

Federalism as a System of Government The government of the United States of America is a federalist system which is composed of the federal governments, state governments, and local, county, city and township governments. The smaller governments are the creation of state government (See Greenberg, p. 44). “Federalism is a system under which significant government powers are divided between the central government and smaller units, such as states.

In a confederation, the constituent states get together for certain common purposes by retain ultimate authority and ...

Freedom

Freedom is the right to do what you want without being controlled or restricted by anyone. This is according to the Longman dictionary definition of the word freedom. However, it is difficult to define what exactly freedom is except if the restrictions on human actions are deeply analyzed. Freedom has residual areas which individuals can access in the society. It contains inbuilt restrictions which make one to respect the rights and freedom of others while in exercising their own freedom. For instance, my freedom to stretch my hands may be infringing on my neighbor’s freedom to breath. Therefore, ...

Before Federation (prior to 1901), Australia was not a nation; each of the British colonies was its own self-ruling state. Each had separate laws and regulations and functioned effectively as a separate country. Those colonies were: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia, the last one to join (Singleton et al. 2013, pp.55-56). According to “Federation 1890-1910” published by the government of Western Australia (n.d.), that state had delayed its decision because it had seen such rapid changes in the previous decade, including the discovery of gold and a population increase from 50,000 to near 200,000. ...

The Roman Empire is one of the most noteworthy segments of the history of the West. It is known for its influence not only among the western countries, but also the rest of the world. Perhaps, the most striking aspect of the Roman Empire is its transition from a Republic to Emperorship, although most historians argue that it was still an empire during the era of the Republic. Following the collapse of the Republic, the Principate emerged (Blois & Spek, 2008). Various factors contributed to this transition, most importantly the crises and civil wars in the Late Republic which eventually led ...

Introduction

In most discussions in International Affairs, it is common for analysts to blame the cause of war on “bad” and “aggressive” states. These are typically, nations that are either totalitarian in outlook or ruled by a dictator who declares war without much sensitivity to the implications of the war on the broader group of stakeholders. Therefore, the central theme of preventing wars in the world is to create a family of nations that are democratic and this is seen by many as the only way of preventing all out wars and promoting peace in these countries. This is to create a set ...

The history of the formation and development of the American federalism is interesting because, in spite of all its specific features, it largely reflects the general trends that are inherent in any federal state. Such, for example, as a struggle between the center and the subjects of the federation for the rights and powers, as the trend towards centralization of power, and so on. In other words, it indicates the urgency of the problem of the relationship between the central government and form part of any complex public education.

Environmental Factors Assessment

1. Current Status of Chinese Environmental Programs All environmental programs are managed by the Chinese government in some capacity. The Committee on Energy Futures and Air Pollution in Urban China oversees the state and policies of air pollution in Chinese urban environments (Committee on Energy Futures et al., 2007). In recent years, it has taken more direct action as China’s pollution problems have become increasingly visible in global media. However, although the government has made progress such as instilling a program to decrease smog by only allowing cars with even or odd numbered plates to drive in the ...

In 1777, in the midst of the War of Independence, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, a document of a constitutional nature, which defined the United States as a confederation and fixed the powers of the central bodies. However, the document made a central government very weak, as well as giving a veto to each state. George Washington figuratively called the Articles of Confederation as 'ropes of sand'. Therefore, quickly began to emerge proposals to amend the Articles. The process of the ratification of the Constitution of the United States began September 17, 1787 In his closing speech to the ...
