When the federal government requires a state to meet federal guidelines without offering financial support to pay for these programs, it is known as Selected Answer: d.
The United States government is known to give its citizens great advise with much care and concern. With this being known, many people come to the conclusion that United States citizens can faith in the government when it comes to making crucial decisions. Terry Tempest Williams is not one of these people. In “The Clan of the One-Breasted Women”, Williams gives her views on the government conducting nuclear tests in Utah. In contrast, in “America’s Energy Plan in Action: Bearing Witness,” an article Williams contributed to Orion magazine and OrionOnline, Williams speaks on issues containing actions of the government drilling for oil and natural
The U.S. Constitution was created to establish America 's national government and fundamental laws in order to guarantee the citizen 's rights. It was signed on September 17, 1787 at the Constitutional Convention held in Philadelphia. Before the Constitution was written, the Articles of Confederation is what America was governed by. Under the Articles of Confederation, the nation was weak and the states were run like they were independent countries. At the Philadelphia Convention, delegates formulated a plan to have a stronger government by having three branches and a system of checks and balances. This would ensure that no single branch would obtain too much power. Many people today have different views on
Primarily, it is essential that the U. S. Census Bureau understands the nuances between “race” and “ethnicity”, terms that can often be confused as interchangeable. Race is nothing more than a social construction where society attributes certain common physical characteristics to each racial group. However, there are no biological foundations or differences between distinct races. In comparison to race, ethnicity is more nuanced. Professor at UC Berkeley Lisa Garcia Bedolla provides a clear definition of ethnicity in her book Latino Politics by stating that ethnicity “places more
James Madison constructed the Federalist Papers as propaganda in order to bolster support for the recently proposed federal government. These papers served as a way for the Federalists, those in favor of the ratification of the Constitution, to assuage the fears of the newly free ex-English subjects and to explain how relinquishing some of that newly gained freedom to a federal government would create a safer living environment. Federalist 10 specializes in how the proposed federal government could protect civilians from factions in ways state and local governments are unable to. On a small scale, such as a city in colonial times, a faction would need only few supporters in order to affect and enact change on government proceedings. Comparatively,
The focus of this research study is to explore the construct of race in the census survey and the effect that it has on the social context of both cultural and social identity. These changes are based on the evolving landscape of the population as it pertains to the characteristics of its people. The Census was first administered in the 1790 and would take place every ten years . Its main purpose was to better respond to the needs of its citizens and how the government would represent the growing population. The Census provides the government with information ranging from household size to income; however, it is perhaps the statistics supplied by the Census on race that allow for the most interesting analysis . The identification of race
I believe the five pathways for change were put here to guide us in becoming a more efficient government and to give different examples of how to go about change in America. All of the pathways are important but to me the most important is the lobbying decision makers’ pathway. “Lobbyists are said to be advocates, someone who represents a specific side of an issue. According to Thomson Gale Legal Encyclopedia, A lobbyist and a lawyer have similar attributes whereas the lobbyist targets the legislative point of view and the lawyer targets the judicial point of view. Lawyers provide facts on different perspectives on legal issues dealing with the case; And lobbyist offer local, state, and federal
Although President Obama’s nominations can be seen as moderate, directly after it was announced that Hagel was to fulfill the spot for the Secretary of Defense and John Brennan as director of the CIA, there was a large amount of controversy.
Below is a summary of our conclusions and authoritative reasoning for each of the provisions:
What would make a group of people ignore their country’s own genocide? In Nazi Germany, the answer was propaganda. From the end of World War I, the German leaders knew how important propaganda was. By the time Hitler had complete control of the military, the powerful propaganda film Triumph de Willens was already being produced . By the time the second offensive started, they had already launched an international propaganda magazine called Signal. Both of these are prime examples of the purpose of German propaganda. Like earlier British propaganda, it had two primary roles. First, the control of the people. Gobbels’ propaganda about “national enemies” made it seem as if the Nazis were the only alternative to a loss in national security. The second goal was scaring foreign powers. Through international magazines and radio broadcasts such as Signal, German power and victories were highlighted and shown to the world. The three key issues are the attacks on Jews and Communists, the origins of these methods, and the uses of these methods to create a powerful Nazi government. Through slandering and suppression of the opposition of the Nazis, Hitler’s media soon became the voice of the country. The Nazi Party used propaganda to gain power out of fear for national security.
b) The original form of government consisted of a one-house Congress, in which each state had one vote despite various populations. There was no president or judicial branch to balance out the power.
(112) The historical development of ethnic categorization as a distinct concept from race in the U.S. Census was defined through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in October 1997. This criterion was meant to discern between biological/genetic factors and the ethnic aspects of Latino/Hispanic identity as part of this governmental decree: “The racial and ethnic categories set forth in the standards should not be interpreted as being primarily biological or genetic in reference” (The White House.org, 2015, para.17). Therefore, 1997 was the specific date in which this policy became active in distinguishing race from ethnicity in population variability in the Hispanic/Latino community.
If both benefit the most in cooperating, as is the case in the prisoner’s dilemma, they will both cooperate, and peace will be maintained . This basic liberal assumption of the importance of individual gains is the main support for European integration. If all states cooperate in all arenas, leading to a collectively sovereign “Europe”, the individual gains of each state will be adequate enough to avoid conflict among themselves making it easier to approach the rest of the international system together peacefully.
