The shared history between America and Mexico can be dated back during the Texas Revolution of 1835-1836, and the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848.

Democracy in the United States, today, stands on three major pillars or the foundation stones. These pillars are The Declaration of Independence (1776), The US Constitution (1787), and the Bill of Rights (1789). The three documents have the historic significance and have guided Americans for over two centuries on the path of democracy. There is a fourth pillar of the American democracy as well. The fourth "pillar" is the grassroots activism of African-American citizenship during American Revolutionary times. Other marginalized, or excluded groups, such as poor white farmers, women, and "Indians" were excluded from the "cornerstone" documents. Thomas Paine's Continue reading...

Thomas Paine, a political activist, theorist, and a philosopher in his pamphlet "common sense" inspired people to protest and fight for independence from the Great Britain. Common sense explained why they needed independence and the advantages independence would bring to the people of America. It also presented them with an argument for freedom just in the right time when independence was a vital issue. It communicated in a manner that ordinary people understood, shunning philosophical references used by other writers, and referring to the Bible to speak to the people. Thus, it was seen as the most incendiary and Continue reading...

Thesis Statement
“It is unfair to disqualify parents from receiving grants and benefits as a result of this bill because this may potentially disrupt the government’s ability to efficiently and productively deliver much needed services to poverty-stricken families, and may also leave families who cannot even afford to send their children to school into deeper financial troubles”

Description of the Stakeholders Involved

- Families
Families and their respective members are the ones who would most likely be most affected by the implementation of this bill. We find the implementation of Continue reading...

The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States are commonly considered to be the two most important and defining documents of our nation’s history. The former, a formal declaration of independence from their status as colonies of Great Britain, established the essential concepts by which the nation wished to define itself. The latter was the second (and current) attempt to create a system of laws that would provide structure to the nation’s workings now that it was successfully and fully independent. While the Constitution is its own distinct document, the central conceits and ideas Continue reading...

Vietnamese declaration of independence and Mao Tse Tung imperialism and all reactionaries are paper tigers

The document on Vietnamese declaration of independence entails speeches and articles aired in Vietnam just after the Second World War. It touches on the patriotic Vietnamese population that collaborated with the allies to oust the Japanese forces who had occupied their country after the defeat of the French forces. The French are portrayed as masters who claim personal equity amongst all people but have oppressed the Vietnamese people for over eighty colonization years. This shows that the French have been in that country since mid-19th century. They seem to have divided the Vietnamese into three, north, central and South Continue reading...

Introduction

As most of us are aware, the Declaration of Independence was the document written largely by Thomas Jefferson and formally announced by him on July 4 1776. It declared the intention of the colonists of North America to separate from England and English rule and to form a new government. Whilst it formed the basis of the beginnings of what was to become the United States of America, many question the sincerity of some of its content and in particular the part in its preamble that declared all men to be equal. Hagerman (4 July 2011) examined that issue. Continue reading...

Any literary work can be analyzed from various perspectives. Some scholars prefer to analyze language and lexicological devices of a text; others concentrate on the plot. There are also those who would prefer to study author’s biography and implications of personal life on a literary work. Although all mentioned above approaches to study of a literary work are correct and might help to unravel the hidden meaning of the text and true intentions of the author, there are also those cases when application of those techniques might not be enough for a comprehension of the literary work. Sometimes, Continue reading...

Judicial Independence

The concept of judicial independence is recognized by almost all constitutions of the world and the basic reason behind judicial independence is to keep the judiciary liberated from every kind of influences by executive, legislative or any other force. The Chief Justice of Canada in a recent judgment explained the importance of judicial independence:"Judicial independence is valued, because it serves important societal goals - it is a means to secure those goals. One of these goals is the maintenance of public confidence in the impartiality of the judiciary, which is essential to the effectiveness of the court system. Continue reading...

The Americans are deeply divided, within themselves and among themselves on the democracy subject. Democracy is sometimes taken to be the highest value in America (Miller, 1991), but at other times, democracy is construed to be a nightmare in the nation. Pure and untainted democracy is said to lead to persecution of minority communities by the majority. Essentially, democracy is responsible for holding of prayers in schools, banning and labeling of records and books, emergence of restrictions on drugs, abortion, sex, and alcohol. Additionally, democracy has been responsible for fueling of racial segregation and unwarranted discrimination. On the other Continue reading...

Project Planning Paper and Talking Points about the U.S. SB 303 on Welfare

- Support for the HB 4388 should not be passed because it can be a hindrance to the government’s ability to provide social services to the parents and families who heavily rely on it. This bill basically disables them to receive government support if they fail to send their children aged below 16 to school which is something they do not have a complete control of. After all, parents do not have absolute control over their children’s mindset, behavior, and actions.
- Families and Continue reading...

HONEST AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

As can be seen in recent economic events, the recommendations of the external auditors would have profound impact not only on investors or stockholders but also on entire economies.

The Place OF the African Petty Bourgeoisie

Introduction

It has widely been said that African leaders have failed so much in their leadership starting from the time they took leadership from the white colonizers. Most of the African leaders who took over from the white minority bargained for power on individual or regional basis at the expense of the entire country’s benefits. They have ever since continued to immerse wealth while the common man suffers in ignorance. This paper therefore seeks to examine the place of the African petty bourgeoisie. The Continue reading...

WALTER RODNEY (1975), LIMITATIONS of the African petty bourgeoisie, Toronto: Afro-carrib publishers

For a long time now since the so called independence which was attained from the imperial powers, the African, Asian and Latin America working and the majority masses have continually experienced deprivation and untold suffering. This is rather ironical considering that it is the same masses under the ‘guidance’ of some indigenous political leaders who struggled to attain this independence. It was expected that the working classes who form the majority of the population would after gaining independence enjoy both political, social and economic freedom. That every person would now have a chance to share the national wealth which was initially a preserve for the colonial masters.

Continental Congress adopted this statement on July 4, 1776. It announced independence of the thirteen colonies of America, which were under Great Britain, and thus they had then formed the USA, which was then a new nation. John Adams became a vibrant leader in struggling for independence, and it was approved in July 2. The document had already been drafted by a committee of the congress voting on independence.
The Independence Declaration was not primarily written to guard the "self-evident" fact that all human beings were created equal and thus they possess rights that are unalienable (John 1). It Continue reading...

Independence is a nuanced state of being, a concept affected by circumstance and measured in degrees.

This is Sara’s moment to Continue reading...

Introduction

When heard read out loud the Declaration of Independence is thrilling to hear. The wonderful words that speak of the power each person has to use their individual rights as equals to other people. Thomas Jefferson is most credited or as in the Librivox catalog (2011) all “the Founding Fathers” are credited with writing the document which declared the independence of the thirteen colonies. According to Bazyar (1999) an earlier “weaker” document had been written which Thomas Jefferson “extensively revised.” Thomas Jefferson had to include the input from the representatives of the colonies and he had to balance Continue reading...
