In the document, the powers of the federal government are enumerated, or listed, and the document then states that those powers not enumerated are reserved to the states and local governments. (Chemerinsky, 1998) This provision was put in place to limit the Federal Government’s involvement in day-to-day issues. (Chemerinsky, 1998)

The Federal government, despite the intent of the framers of the constitution to separate state and federal powers, has been encroaching steadily on those powers since the constitution was ratified. (Chemerinsky, 1998) One way ...

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 by independent ...

The policing function in America is a non-military function involving civilian roles (Cordner and Scarborough, 2010). The role of the police in the United States is summed up as “to protect and serve”.

Section 1: US Government

When the US constitution was set up, the founders divided the new government into three co-equal branches of government: The Legislative, the Executive and the Judicial. Each was given separate areas of responsibilities, that were designed to make the branches work together to govern the county. The idea was that no one branch would grow to dominate the other two.

There have indeed been a number of mass shootings recently, at a theater in Aurora, Colorado and an elementary school in New Town, Connecticut, both by mentally disturbed individuals in states that already have gun control. These types of killers obtain weapons in one form or another, and manage to evade background checks and federal laws that prohibit the sale of weapons to those who are judged likely to injure others—or themselves. It is clearly not the laws that are protecting the public from violent or mentally ill perpetrators, and strengthening gun control laws will not likely have any great ...

In his paper on “New potential for Human Embryonic Stem Cells”, Gearhart notes that stem cells grown in culture can be derived from either the inner masses of blastocysts (ES) or from primordial germ cells (EG). Human ES cells have been isolated and are currently the major focus of research ...

Should judges be limited to interpreting what the Constitution and Federal laws say?

The American Constitution is a written document which was drawn up in 1776 and which contains several specific references to how judges should interpret certain issues. Although the document is dated, there are issues which to this day remain very relevant although others have obviously dated considerably as time has gone by. Legal parameters have also changed considerably so judges especially those in the Supreme Court should certainly not consider themselves bound by this Constitution.
