The article titled New Oklahoma Law Seeks to Keep Guns from Dangerously Mentally Ill by Jennifer Palmer highlights that mentally ill individuals have not been previously denied gun licenses during background checks. This might however change if a state law seeking to deny people who are mentally ill an opportunity to own a gun is fully implemented. The new law requires applicant’s information on mental incompetence to be included in a national database, which should be made accessible to Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations and gun dealers. Implementing the new law will give courts the authority to provide mental status information of individual’s seeking gun ownership to law enforcement agencies. The author however notes that Federal law prohibits individuals with mental illnesses from buying firearms. The law requiring mentally ill people to be denied gun license is based on the understanding that allowing mentally incompetent people to buy guns undermines the

The Four Coercive acts were passed in 1774 by the British Parliament, as a direct response to the Boston Tea Party that took place in December 1773. The British Parliament was furious and forced Massachusetts to pay for the tea and to submit to imperial authority. A Port Bill closed the Boston Harbor, the Government Act prohibited many town meetings, the Quartering Act required the colonist to house, feed, and build barracks for the British troops, with no say, and the Justice Acts allowed trials for capital crimes to be transferred to other colonies or Britain. This outraged the colonist, as each law violated exactly what John Locke had stated the government shouldn’t do, it was a violation of their constitutional rights, and colonial charters.

Roger Sherman is a federalist which born in April 19, 1721. He was also represented the state of Connecticut. He tried a lot of different jobs in his early life, but in 1763 he rose from justice of the peace and county judge to an associate judge of the Connecticut Superior Court. That’s when his political career started. And later then, he is the only person who have signed all four of the documents which is very important for the American revolution and the states to stay together: the Continental Association from the first Continental Congress, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the United States Constitution.

During the last decade of the eighteenth century, the Federalists were in control of the country and its policies. They passed laws to make a strong central government and some of them even desired for there to be a kind of landowner aristocracy. Their power soon began to erode from within as different factions headed by John Adams and Alexander Hamilton greatly weakened the party's effectiveness and power. They alienated themselves in the eyes of the population by passing the Alien and Sedition acts. This led to the election of Thomas Jefferson as president in 1800, who described his election as a second revolution. Jefferson and his supporters were now able to try to bring about their dream of making America an agrarian republic of small

When problems arise in our nation, we are left with a complicated crisis as to whose job it is to do what and who exactly should be taking care of any bad situation that seems to pop up with daily life anywhere in the world, but in this case, America. Certain governmental systems, such as Federalism, can be considered a solution to these crises. Federalism can be defined as the relationship between the individual state governments of America and the national or federal government of the United States; and works to balance the power of a large central government, and the power of the smaller regional governments.

The Federalists is a group of people in the early U.S. who supported the strong national government and who worked and supported the U.S. Constitution, they supported in removing some powers from the states and give more powers to the national government. They favored dividing powers among the different branches of government. in the Federal papers to explain why people should approve the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, having a well-constructed government to control the people. By doing so, created the two methods of curing the mischiefs of faction: the one, by removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects (Regent, Word Doc., 2017). Therefore, the different governments will control each other, while each will be controlled by itself

Many people chose to support the Constitution and those people were often called Federalists. The name Federalists comes from the word Federalism, which means a powerful central government. Nationalists seemed to be a more appropriate name for the supporters of the Constitution, but during the 1780s the name would have been a political responsibility. The most important role of a Federalist was their ability to defend the popular gains of the Revolution. Many Federalists were well educated in national-level work and very gifted. Among those gifted Federalists were Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. Furthermore, the Federalists were also well regulated, well financed, and used the printed word very wisely. Most of the newspapers were in favor of the Federalists and the articles were

Approximately a decade after the founding of America, it became apparent that the Articles of Confederation was too weak to sustain the nation. Without an executive branch, a national court system, and with a limited congress, the national government was rendered powerless. Subsequently, many discontented leaders began to draft the Constitution, which will ignite an intense debate from its drafting and proposal in 1787 to its eventual ratification in 1789. On one hand, the Federalists urges for the ratification of the Constitution to establish a stronger national government. On the other hand, the Anti-Federalists oppose the ratification of the Constitution and favors keeping power in state and local governments. During these years of debate,

New Federalism is an attempt in the 70's and 80's to restore some powers to the states from the Government. When a state court is deciding whether a case is constitutional, it must apply standards at least equal to those of the federal level. Moreover, if the states own constitutional or statutory standards are more demanding than those in the federal system, then the state may apply its own standards, giving greater protection than demanded by the U.S. Constitution. It is derived from the rule that state court decisions based on adequate and independent state grounds are immune from federal review. Examples of new federalism in action are gun laws and regulations and states not legalizing marijuana and/or gay marriages.

The Federalist argument is one that is defined by a strong central government. Some federalists included Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. These people were also the authors of the famous “Federalist Papers”, they wrote under the name “Publius”. These essays explored different aspects of federalist ideas about government. Some of their most famous works were Federalist Papers #51 and #10. In these, Hamilton explored the nature of man from their natural “ambitions” to the formation of “factions” (Federalist Paper #51, #10). These two papers focused on suggesting a means of controlling these things, including checks and balances and political parties. These papers were created very much in the line of federalist thinking. Federalist

Federalism can be said to be the defining feature of all forms of American politics. Even as a literary characteristic feature, America was the first nation to adopt federalism as a concept. Federalism is a system of government whereby political power is divided between a national government and other smaller political constituents such as states. Federalism, although not mentioned exactly in the constitution, was supposed to be a concept that addressed the errors of the confederation (Platt, 2014). It was also supposed to be the lay the groundwork for what would be the future of America. As it was expected to be, federalism has had an impact on the American politics even as far as elections are concerned. There were some key reasons that

Karch believes the laboratories of democracy are the states. Within the laboratories of democracy, different policies may be enacted in different states to test the efficiency and benefits of the policy before it is enacted in all of the states. Furthermore, if a policy goes well in one state, many more states will enact the policy in their states. More specifically, Karch describes the laboratories of democracy as a metaphor for trial and error.

New Federalism is known as commitment to returning powers to the state governments. Proposed by President Ronald Reagan, who believed federal grants were just a scandal of imposing the federal interests on the states. Reagan believed that federal government would allow a more efficient government within the states and the nation. This reminded America of the main point now of the 10th amendment that because the states are created under the the federal government, it should work for the states, and not be overpowered.

Federalism is a way of organizing a nation so that two or more levels of government have formal authority over the same area and people, ensuring that one does not become too powerful and aids in the separation of powers. Liberty is a state of freedom within a society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one 's way of life, behavior, or political views. Although these two political science terms are different, they correlate and interact with one another in the American Government and are still relevant to contemporary policy issues faced today. James Madison 's The Federalist No. 47 doctrine exemplifies this: "In order to form correct ideas on this important subject, it will be proper to investigate the sense in which the preservation of liberty requires that the three great departments of power should be separate and distinct."

When it comes to federalism, it is not the easiest to pinpoint the exact meaning. Federalism can be defined as the distribution of power in an organization between a central authority and a voting member of a community (Merriam, Webster). It can be described as one of two fundamental organizational principles of the U.S Constitution. The other basic organizational principle, such as separation of powers, involves the distribution of powers within the National Government. It is said that federalism is the single most important protection for our freedom ( Nagel, 181). There are many different types of federalism, including Dual, Cooperative, Regulated, and New federalism.
