Is the Gun Lobby Still Invincible?

Alec McGillis in “The Gun Lobby’s Power Is Overstated” supposes that the influence of the gun lobby is overrated because it has local character and “becoming more concentrated in a smaller share of the population” (McGillis) but it can be said that the restrictive measures and tighter controls on the arms control do not pass in Congress because of the very powerful influence of the gun lobby. This is due to the strengthening of the American media of the various communities who find the resources and mechanisms of influence for their own interests. The terms of the interests ...

The judicial activism is defined as a philosophy of judicial decision making where by judges allow their personal views about public policy, guiding their decisions among other factors .

The use of judicial activism takes away the powers of the other branches of government. For example ...

Introduction

In the 1940s, farm mechanization left many Black sharecroppers without work and displaced. In search of employment many of them left farms and started migrating to southern cities such as Birmingham and Atlanta and many others went further north and west. In their new homes African Americans worked as service workers and unskilled labors, and were treated as inferiors by the southern whites. Within the next decade, more than half of the African American population used to live in the poorest neighborhoods of American cities. They lived in overcrowded houses and paid astronomical rents in houses that were never ...

Crop pest is the main challenge facing farmers who plant crops such as coffee. The main challenge now is to know how one can manage the pests in his or her farm. A pest insect is one that brings harm to animals, crops or any other property (Dent, 2000). In agriculture, a pest is classified as so if it causes damages to both the crops and the animals. Parasites can cause harm to crops and animals in many ways. For this reason, farmers have come up with different ways in which they can manage the level of the crop ...

Congress chose the bald eagle as the national symbol of the United States of America in 1782, but this move faces a fierce opposition from Benjamin Franklin, one of the founders of the nation. He was keen to make the turkey as the national symbol. Moreover, the bald eagle has an association with the ancient Roman Republic while the turkey is a true native to the United States.

Introduction

Throughout is history, the American society has exhibited an unrivalled sense of national identity. Being an American citizen has over the centuries since its independence was seen as the most significant facet of an individual living within US borders. As such, US citizens who are residents in other countries also take much pride in the numerous benefits accruing to them, by reason of their American citizenship. As Bradburn provides, the boundaries defining real aspects of what entails an American citizen have since been blurry and undefinable since independence (1094). The main cause for such an outcome was the fact ...

As long as the Revolution of 1776 – 1783 established the United States, the Civil War 1861 – 1865 determined the kind of nation they are going to be.

Under the Constitution, the legislative branch checks the power of the executive branch in four fundamental ways: advise and consent relative to presidential nominations; control of the federal budget (U.S. Const. art. I § 7-8); the ability to pass legislation and override the President’s veto (U.S. Const. art. I § 7); and power to remove the President from office through impeachment proceedings (U.S. Const. art. I § 3). In the case of the judicial branch, the Constitution allows the court to determine the constitutionality of the executive branch’s actions. (U.S. Const. art. III § 2).

George <http://www.smgapc.com/practice-areas/california-three-strikes-law/ Every generation in the United States has seen new tactics designed to continue the oppression of racial minorities, abjuring the rights the Founding Fathers deemed necessary and irrevocable for all people in the nation. Many African Americans were denied their right to participate in the growth of the new nation. Centuries later, the United States is still far from being called a true “egalitarian society.” Racial segregation and bigotry have been evinced in a number of forms; over the years, these forms have changed and evolved but the ...

Same Sex Marriage

In 2015, the United States Constitution ruled that nationwide, states could not ban same-sex marriage (Same-Sex). This highly contested ruling thereby states that all states must issue marriage licenses to all couples, opposite or same sex. While many people see this is a negative, a vast majority of people see this ruling as what it is: a set in stone (for the time being) rule that all people, regardless of sexual orientation, are equal and do not deserve discrimination in the form of being denied rights and being denied the benefits that a marriage can bring. In Florida in ...

Civil Liberties and Social Responsibility

In 2002, as reported by The New York Times, the Bush administration approved a presidential bill giving the National Security Agency (NSA) the power to track, listen to, and intercept without a warrant the local and international communications (e.g. emails, phone calls) of a vast number of American citizens. Sooner or later, the scheme expanded to involve a certain extent of 'internal controls' (ACLU, 2015, para 2), yet there was no mention of mandating warrants specified under the foreign intelligence surveillance laws. This surveillance program has penetrated and invaded almost all of the communications technologies and networks that the ...

MEMORANDUM

Fr: Name Re: Rulemaking Reason and Purpose of Rulemaking Over the last five years, Congress has on average enacted 322 laws per year. However, the enactment of a law does not mean that it is implemented or put into practice. To be sure, most laws that Congress passes are fairly wide-ranging documents that simply spell out the broad goals that Congress expects the legislation to achieve. In short, laws as enacted by Congress do not include the specific details, guidelines or rules in regards to what is required in order for the law to be effective, what are means ...

Not until approximately 60 years ago was racial discrimination completely outlawed in the ...

I think it is very premature to speak about the end of the era of America’s supremacy in the world. Here is a list and analysis of reasons why I am convinced that the story goes exactly this way. Speaking about supremacy, even in the broadest definitions, without laying them down to specific examples we have to take into consideration all aspects of power, i.e. economic, political, military etcetera. Speaking about America, let’s analyze its economy first. According to numerous reputable ratings issued every year America is the first economy in the world, competed by China and ...

Prehistory

The Electoral College is an integral part of the current election process of the United States. Created during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the establishment of Electors and electors was developed through debate of the Virginia Plan, which proposed that Congress should elect the president.

In considering sentencing guidelines and mandatory minimum sentencing, there are similarities and differences. The nuances of each, when comparing one to another, can be confusing. The inherent intent of both is to ensure fair and justified sentencing when considering certain offenses. Among others, three significant purposes to both are that the punishment does not exceed the extent of the crime; that if the crime warrants, a mandatory minimum penalty should be assessed; and that given the offense, punishment is fair to all who commit a similar offense. Sentencing guidelines for federal offenses (addressed here as opposed to individual state ...

Abstract

This paper will discuss the emergence of national security policies and laws in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Prior to these attacks, there was relatively little coordination between different government agencies and branches with regards to counterterrorism. But the 9/11 attacks led to significant changes. All three government branches are highly involved in national security measures and interests. Congress responded by passing very important statutes to augment the government’s authority to conduct and investigate terrorist threats and apprehend suspects. These statutes reflect the practical difficulties of apprehending and prosecuting terrorists. Terrorism is unique in that if ...

1.What is the best use of power for the members of constitutional convention to setup a practice using people to count population for political seats if those people did not have representation? The American constitutional convention of 1787 marked a defiant stand by the southern states when they demanded the count of political seats in the legislature on the basis of their slave population, in spite of the fact that the slaves were denied any voting rights. The northern states took a stand against the slavery system and tried to limit the southern seats so as to have a ...

Personal Perception of Organized Crime

Introduction Drawing upon the statutory observations and official reports of Congress bodies, currently the United States law enforcement authorities do not have at their disposal a unified legal definition of organized crime laid down in the country’s legislation (Finklea, 2010). The obstacle in crafting a comprehensive definition of organized crime stems from a serious inability of academics, practitioners and theorists to find accurate characteristics of organized crime. Within this essay, the author describes certain approaches to defining organized crime and stresses that the United States notion of organized crime adopted by law enforcement bodies does not meet a ...

The United States of America officially gained its independence in 1776. The new country needed to create own governing system.

These contradictions became a basis for the Articles of Confederation, which preceded the American Constitution of 1787. It restored main weaknesses of the Articles, but there were many arguments before all states accepted the new document. Constitution’s content stimulated the creation of political parties.

In the economics, fiscal policy is defined as the policy that is used to influence the economy by balancing the revenues and the public expenditures (Arnold, 2008). There may be different approaches to the fiscal policy that depend on the state of economy: expansionary (government spends more than it earns), neutral (when economy is stable) and contractionary fiscal policy (government receives enough taxes and can pay out its debts) (Arnold, 2008).
