Cuomo's Decision Making Process

A major problem that many representative democracies had, and still have, is securing minorities rights within a system ruled by the majority of that country.

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe recently gave an order that would restore voting rights to hundreds of thousands of felons prior to the upcoming general election, but the Supreme Court of Virginia is currently reviewing a case that could ruin McAuliffe’s order. A Republican attorney for the state argued that the order was an unconstitutional overreach, while the opposing side said that the order was a daring, but perfectly legal use of his power.

Former Texas Governor Rick Perry has dropped out of the race to be US president. He dropped out because his campaign was struggling in the polls and he failed to make the cut into the main Republican presidential debate. He dropped out last month. Perry also ran in 2012 but dropped out after a series of gaffes. Rick Perry certainly possessed a resume to be a top-tier contender for the Republican nomination.However, he has been quickly eclipsed in the polls by political outsiders like Mr.Trump and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson. Just 4 years ago, in his first bid, Perry had a widespread support and seemed a real threat to Romney. I think what Perry did was actually smart, because if you know you're running behind in the polls then you should

Chris Christie’s level of popularity is very low because of not gaining people’s attention, not backing up his words, and not competing. Gaining people’s attention with actions and speeches was something he was lacking, and he never stood out in any important decisions he made. Being known for something he did that was very important to the whole United States is something he haven’t done yet.
