These systems have capability of self-adaptation, self-configuration, self-monitoring, tuning, and other kinds of adjustment without requiring external control input .

These systems are built such that their components satisfy the design intent in the presence of small perturbations, external disturbances, noise, or other environmental changes. In realm of control systems theory, autonomous systems carry the similar concept mentioned above. Talking in terms of state ...

The Ebola virus has existed for centuries. Like all life forms and viruses, it has been changing and adapting since the beginning of time to survive. Despite this the disease did not make itself known until the twentieth century. However, once the virus revealed itself only three major outbreaks have occurred. There were two in 1976 and one which took started in 2014 (CDC, 2015). The latest outbreak has been the longest and worst, effecting numerous countries such as, Mali, Nigeria, Liberia and Senegal in West Africa (CDC, 2015). This paper will look at the scientific aspects of the ...

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 committee membership in the United States of America is not diverse. The polarization of the states is dividing the area into different districts which awards one political party an electoral advantage, and while forming the committees, most members are from the benefited political party. The varying of the voter's ID throughout the states results in a lack of diversity as not all citizens are given a representation chance in the government. While electing the committee, the voter’s turnover is less, and those people who are not present are not likely to be presented. The legislators play a ...

Question 1 Response: Creating a new Constitution was vital to the unity of the United States of America since the Articles of Confederation weren’t sufficient for good government. If there was any evidence of this, it was that the United States was clearly bankrupt and now needed to be organized in such a manner that both the States and the Federal government had to share power in such a manner that everyone’s interests were kept in mind. A centralized approach was key to putting the country back on track. Hence, a meeting was held in the Pennsylvania ...

Introduction

The expansion of Medicaid is considered a key component of Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) that focused on providing healthcare coverage to millions of uninsured Americans (Buettgens, Holahan, and Recht, 2015). Some of the low-income earners and poor people who do not have health insurance in the U.S. live in Texas. Medicaid is administered or run by individual states and the federal government. Individuals who enroll for Medicaid benefit by not paying premiums for healthcare coverage. The state hospitals are using about $5.5 billion annually for treating uninsured people. The uncompensated healthcare costs are, therefore, covered by insurance premiums and ...

Fostering Successful Emergency Planning

Fostering a successful emergency plan ensures that the plan focuses on intensive training and exercises. In doing so, the plan reinforces emergency preparedness for a number of potential emergencies. The exercises that emergency planners can create to test their plans include trial or testing through prototypes and operations, rehearsing the plan and explaining the plan to others and memorizing it (‎Perry, 2016). The best way to access emergencies is through trials. I believe this is true because when accessing emergency systems using trial, one bases the trial on socialist systems. The use of socialist systems in responding to emergencies ...

Introduction

There are numerous debates about the death penalty in the United States. America continues to allow states to decide whether to apply the death penalty or not. There are 32 states in America that have the death penalty as opposed to 18 states that have abolished the practice. The United States of America continues to act as the leader of the free world. American exceptionalism is premised on the fact that America is a uniquely free nation based on democratic ideals and personal liberties. America has led the process of exporting liberal democracies around the world and many nations ...

Federalism in the United States has evolved over the past 200 years from an arrangement where state and national government powers and responsibilities were clearly distinct and separate, to one in which the line of distinction between the two has blurred. When the framers drafted the Constitution, they provided separate powers to the federal government in Article One. A few of these clauses extended the power of the national government in order to prevent the hazards faced by the Articles of Confederation. In order to ensure that limitations still existed on the federal government, the Tenth Amendment was included. ...

The Early Modern Scientific Period started with the invention of the Portuguese caravel which paved the way for the rest of the inventions which came along with the concept of trading. The commercial revolution began from the 13th century, and the Middle Ages experienced an expansion of commerce and mercantile progress which was a by-product of the voyages of the Europeans into the Spanish countries of the time (Burlingham). The Industrial Revolution came as another significant change to the economic system whereby handicrafts and products were made at an astonishingly fast rate, which increased the monetary output of the ...

Policy Problem:

The possession of firearms in the United States is a topical debate, and has been for many years. It is a national policy problem as gun crime seems to be on the increase, with many citizens believing that laws on gun control should be tightened. Rhode Island’s gun possession laws are similar to those in many of the other States. There is no requirement for an adult to have a license in order to possess a rifle, shotgun, or handgun. It is against the law for a minor (someone under the age of 18) to possess and use ...

This paper will discuss the idea of sovereignty after the Cold War, it will examine how the idea of sovereignty has changed as the world becomes more globalized and why the concept of non-interference is no longer acceptable in a world that is becoming more global. Sovereignty is the dominion over a territory. There are four different types of sovereignty. These are Westphalian, which refers to the authority within a country and disregards external factors, interdependence sovereignty or the ability of the country to control the migration to and from their country, domestic sovereignty is the ability of the ...

Introduction

For the last two decades the popularity of the international investment arbitration and legislation has been dramatically increased. The volume of cases considered by virtue of the interpretation of the provisions of the bilateral investment treaties signed between the parties of the commercial relations has been increased. In addition, this trend reflects the preference of the business units and states in signing agreements with the umbrella clauses due to their simplicity and efficiency in determination of the disputes between the parties.

Slavery has widely been held as the primary reason for secession in the South. However, according to a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2011 found that most Americans were divided on the matter. 48% of the Americans interviewed were of the opinion that “states’ rights” was the leading cause, 38% held slavery was the primary reason while the remainder was either not sure or thought both were contributory factors (Pierce par. 2). From the poll we can infer that secession was as a result of numerous factors. This inference is supported by the Declarations of Causes, ...

In perhaps the most bizarre outcome of the Second World War, the removal of the German-led Axis Powers as a common enemy paved the way for the emergence of the capitalist and the communist ideologies that created the Western and Eastern bloc respectively. The unity witnessed between the Soviet Union and the United States as part of the Allied Powers ended with World War II as the former claimed a lead in advocating communism while the latter supported capitalism in the name of democracy (Foner, 2014, p.709). The different stands plunged the two nations and their allies into the ...

Chapter 3: The Case of Barr v. Goldberg

The answer to the question of whether the cases from New Jersey, Michigan, Oregon are precedent depends on whether the trial judge is sitting in a federal court in Nevada or a Nevada State court. If it is a federal court, then the Oregon case would most likely be precedent whereas the Michigan and New Jersey cases would be persuasive. The reason for this is that the court system at the federal level is in essences, the same court divided into 13 circuits or regions that span the whole country. In other words, all federal courts apply federal law, ...

With the conclusion of the World War II, the world witnessed the emergence of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) with the major purpose of protecting the dignity of all human beings. In 1993, the World Conference on Human Rights acknowledged that these human rights are universally relevant and applicable and no questions shall be raised about their authenticity (World Conference on Human Rights, 1993). Nevertheless, critics from around the world oppose the universality of human rights. Therefore, this essay asserts that the nature of the human rights’ universality is questionable. In the beginning, a brief discussion concerning ...

Introduction

Policy development should pass through some analysis processes before drawing the levels of authenticity, credibility and legitimacy required for them to be rated as authoritative. Importantly, policy development follows many deliberations aimed at ensuring that they offer solutions to specific challenges in the society. In most cases, policy developers will engage in debates and stem out the merits and demerits of the policies that they seek to pass as per the demands of the existing challenges. Imperatively, public participation and sensitization is always a core exercise that is always critical to the entire exercise of policy development. In the ...

The ACA establishes a relative decrease in healthcare costs for some, improve access to healthcare for others, and an improvement of quality of care. While many are impacted by these stipulations, perhaps none are more affected than the elderly. Medicaid is expanding in many states, as well as nationally at a rapid pace thanks to the Act. For example, the Act’s Title III asserts that today’s healthcare system is ensuring Medicaid’s dedication to future generations, and it is doing so by expanding on the state level, as well as the federal level. It is able to ...

Introduction

Since a number of decades the control of has been separated into dual arrangements of administrations. These are the Centralized Administration or the Countrywide Administration and the State Administrations. In this arrangement of management, authority is transferred from the innermost Administration to the delegated or State administrations. In spite of this arrangement having survived for a lot of years at this time, there have been difficulties connected with the distribution of authority between the dual structures of administrations. This paper seeks to explore the positive and negative effects of federalism on the privacy rights of human beings (Erdem, 2014).

Introduction

The healthcare system in Australia is termed as one of the most successful in the world when it comes to the delivery of good healthcare. Additionally, the health outcomes, as well as the control of costs by the system, are remarkably effective as stated by Hall (2015). Such achievements have however been achieved through the interaction of the public and private financial backing, public and private provision of services, and the sharing of key duties between the federal as well as the state governments (Hall, 2015). In the US, no single system of health insurance covers the nation. Health ...

Can he change the geographic lines of the different AQCRs so as to attract more industry? How?

It is the responsibility of the states to designate the location of the AQRCs after confirming with the national government. In perspective, I would advise the newly elected governor to petition EPA to relocate and redraw the geographic lines of AQCRs. The directions of this proceeding must, however, align with the requirements of the federal government, which implies that due consultations must be made before placing the modifications. Usually, revisions of the placements are approved to SIP depending on its estimated effects and results expected from the new locations. In this case, the governor wishes to relocate in order ...

How the President’s Stimulus Plan for High-Speed Rail (HSR) will not work

The president’s HSR plan will spend billions to offer a rail service to a small percentage of the travelers. Importantly, the federal cannot afford this extravagant program, and it will cost taxpayers a lot of money. Thus, the plan will not work as previously expected. The federal has a large budget deficit of about 1.4 trillion (Utt, 2011). Thus, a massive expenditure on the HRS will heighten the deficit more. American citizens have realize that the plan will cost more compared to the perceived benefits. Although there seems to be small opposition on the HRS, it is clear ...

The American civil war in the West: Grant’s River War

Introduction The American Civil War is among the majorly discussed wars in the history of the United States. Ideally, Civil War is considered a central event in the U.S historical civilisation. While it is evident that the revolution that occurred in 1776-1783 facilitated the establishment of the United States, the American Civil War of 1861-1865 provided a suitable platform for the determination of the future of the United States (Doyle, 2014). Fundamentally, it offered the solutions to two major questions initially created by the revolution, and these included whether the United States was going to be transformed into a ...

Jane Doe

Alaska, the state in which I reside currently does not allow for the death penalty. Two years prior to Alaska gaining statehood, the death penalty had already been abolished in 1957 (Death Penalty Information Center, 2016). Only seven individuals were executed in Alaska while under the miner’s court, which was in place prior to 1899; between the years of 1900-1957 an additional eight individuals were condemned to legal executions (Death Penalty Information Center, 2016). With a grand total of only 15 people killed as a result of murders committed, the state of Alaska clearly has not been a ...

Introduction

In fact Chinese have landed to the US already in 1848. The main reason behind their resettlement in American soil was golden mines that have lured thousands of Chinese people to the States. Yet, as soon as the economy in the States declined Chinese workers were seen as a significant issue for the majority of Americas’ working population. As a result, a severe law was adopted to hold back the Chinese and forced them to move to the shelter that later turn into one of the most popular tourist attractions for the visitors of San-Francisco (Chinatown Resource Guide). This ...

Section 1

I live in the state of Texas and I have come to understand the way the local government operates. Just like all the other states in the US, Texas has its own constitution, which defines the various legal aspects of daily life among its citizens. The state of Texas has established and fully functional governments at the county and municipal levels. Five commissioners; four of whom are elected from single-member districts and a county judge who is elected at-large, run the county governments. The county governments provide public safety and manage the jails where lawbreakers are housed for rehabilitation. ...

The Social Determinants of HIV/AIDS among African-American Women in the Southern States

These authors primarily talk about gender, race, and class discrimination in the United States of America. For instance, Margret& Patricia titled their work, "why Race, Class, and Gender still matter." The discussion is based on how different people in the United States are affected by different types of discrimination based on where they live, their color and gender. Although America seems like one of the less discriminative countries in the world, there are still central areas and situations where it is practiced. Through electing, the first black president, Barrack Obama, the war on discrimination of color seems to be ...

Administration Relationships

The relationships between the public policy-makers and the executors (civil servants) have attracted the attention of many scholars in the public administration, political science, public policy and law. The focus is on the relationship between the government, parliament, and the public service. However, the relationship between the federal bureaucracy and the elected policy-makers is crucial for the government functioning, its professional standards, as well as social credibility. Regardless of the perspective of the government being consistent, its texture, characteristics, operating principles and procedures vary from one public policy sector to another (Guess & Farnham, 2011, p. 315). This part focuses ...

In American politics, the association between Congress and the President has been, as one would expect where there is a division of powers, challenging. The Founding Fathers developed a system of checks and balances as the foundation on which the States ratified the American Constitution. As a result, and with one branch of the government writing laws and determining budgets that another branch has to execute and spend respectively, an inherent tension has defined the American government. Now, every President seeks to influence policies. After elections, a country’s President is at liberty to bring his or her goals ...

With the recent surge in mass shootings in the both the United States and overseas locations such as Paris, Munich, and Istanbul, and the fact this is an election year, the debate over gun control seems to have resurfaced. There does not seem to be any middle ground when it comes to gun control. Americans either strongly support the second Amendment right to bear arms, or they want guns banned. There are many viable reasons for banning firearms in the United States. Some of the strongest reasons for gun control are the disrespect for authority; they encourage gang warfare, ...

The paper deals with comparing and contrasting health care reform data for the two states of Minnesota and Arkansas.

Lack of Health Insurance According to the last data recorded, Minnesota had 7 percent of its total population without any private health insurance, neither their employer nor the government has it for them (State Public Health Statistics, 2016). This percentage has decreased only by 0.9% in last one decade. For Arkansas, it is the state that ranks 35 when it comes to having health insurance for the state’s population. 13.9% Arkansas population lacks health insurance, privately, through the government or the employer (State Public Health Statistics, 2016).

The following primary documents include two antifederalist essays and three federalist essays that were published in newspapers three to six months following the Constitutional Convention. The antifederalists aimed to convince the states that the new constitution would not work while the federalists hoped to gain support and ratification of the new constitution. In 1787 and 1788, when the essays were written, the new country was struggling. The Articles of Confederation were not sufficient, and the fears that resulted in the Revolutionary War were still very fresh in the minds of everyone.

SUMMARY OF THE ESSAYS

THE ANTIFEDERALIST NO. 18-20 WHAT DOES HISTORY TEACH? ( ...

The United States had two constitutions to regulate and establish the rights and state orders. Articles of Confederation came into force in 1781, when Maryland ratified it and it was the first Constitution of the United States (Fritz C. G., 2008, p.131). The Constitution came to replace the Articles of Confederation when it was ratified by New Hampshire in 1788. These two documents have much in common. However, there are quite significant differences between them. By comparing them it is possible to see what the drafters considered important in 1781, and that they changed their minds in 1788. Articles ...

Fascism and National Socialism

Political theorists, historians and and scholars have long tried interpreting and defining fascism but the definitions have either been too narrow or too wide as each interpretation of fascism is distinct and based on the ideological and political leanings and thoughts of the scholar or the theorist. According to Roger Griffin, fascism is "a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultra nationalism". He goes on to say that the fascist ideology has three core components- the myth of rebirth, decadence and populist ultranationalism. Paxton in his book, The ...

The presented case was argued on 13th October, 2004 where the constitutionality of capital punishments for juveniles was challenged through an appeal. The basis of the argument of the Eighth Amendment as it is related to unusual and cruel punishments for crimes committed by individuals (Lane, 2005). The decision of the Supreme Court in 1988 under Thompson v. Oklahoma was to bar the execution of offenders who are below 16 years. Another case was heard in 1989; Stanford v. Kentucky, which indicated the possibility of having capital punishments rendered to individuals below 17 years. Based on the evolving standards ...

Introduction

U.S. schools are known for low performance on international tests which measure 15-year-old students’ literacy in science, math, and reading. According to the 2007 report, the United States ranked 29th in science among 57 countries participating in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (Gonzalez and Kuenzi, 2012, p. 9; McFarlane, 2013, p. 39). The problems with school attainment were linked with students’ reduced interest in science and instructional approaches to science teaching (McFarlane, 2013, p. 39). In this regard the gaps highlighted administrators’ ineffective practices and teachers’ quality problem, which was ...

The Civil War which lasted from 1861-1865 was caused by a number of factors. Most of the reasons for the Civil War were economic, political and social. The economic reasons for the Civil War were as follows. The economic disparities between the North and the South. The South had a plantation system that consisted of growing numerous crash crops including tobacco, indigo and cotton which were extremely profitable and depended on slave labor. The North’s economy was more industrialized which meant that it depended more on people working together rather than a class system. An economic-political reason for ...

The U.S. Bill of Rights The Bill of Rights was proposed and passed through twelve amendments but only ten were successfully ratified and became part of the United States Constitution, which was at first considered incomplete because it lacked what proponents called the basic human rights. The common belief at that time was that the framing and ratification of the Bill of Rights was to eliminate fears of the Anti-Federalists that the proposed Constitution did not satisfactorily guarantee individual freedoms. Even if individual liberty was important during the debate for the bill of rights, the Bill of Rights was ...

Introduction Established by the Greek statesman, Solon, sometime in the 600 B.C., voting has always been a key feature of democracy. The international community regards it as the most basic human right, which should be protected and guaranteed to all citizens of a country as stipulated by internal human rights laws. A government by the people must have the participation of the people, which is realized through suffrage. Today, voting rights are already universally practiced, yet there are certain circumstances wherein such right is taken away by the state. In the United States, a person will lose ...
