As citizens of the United State of America, one of our most important rights is that of which to vote. By voting, the general population has a say in who its leaders are. Votes for local, state, and even federal representatives directly reflect who the constituents want in office. However, America’s highest office is not elected by a vote of the people. Instead we use a confusing and outdated system called the Electoral College. Our president is not elected by the people, but by 538 electors who can legally vote for whomever they choose. Several times in our nations history an elector has voted against the people’s will. Three presidents have been elected into office by the electoral college and

Upon considering whether the Constitution in its current form should be ratified, four main points of consideration come into focus: the four main arguments determining the future for the United States and its people. Under the current form of government, the Articles of Confederation, a question of whether a stronger central government is needed is asked. This question is followed by if the United States would be more prosperous under a confederation of loosely governed states, and if a powerful national government consolidates the states. Next, the question of whether the Constitution provides a fair, honest system of representation for all classes of people, and finally, whether the document supports natural and

Years before Jamestown, in 1587 a man named John White and 117 men, women, and children sailed from England to the coast of what is now North Carolina. They did this in hopes of starting a new colony on the untenated territory of Roanoke Island. They established a temporary understanding with the native islanders and consummated the first baby in the New World, but soon afterwards problems arose. Supplies were quickly becoming scarce and issues started to arise between the settlers and the natives of the land. White returned to England in despair asking for help from Sir Walt Raleigh who had been the sponsor of the expedition. While he was successful in his voyage to convince Sir Walt by the time of his return all the settlers had vanished off the face of the Island.

Amending the Constitution demonstrates the desire to make a "more perfect union" by U.S. citizens by giving them what they want basically. Making sure the people get exactly what we want in this union, It changed during the Progressive Era, especially with jobs for people like equal pay, min. wage, banned children to work at night, and had work safety regulations. However, there were also major changes during an election process, including where voters could repeal laws which was called Referendums. There was also a law which allowed voters to propose laws directly rather than wait for state legislatures to do it, called, Initiatives. Another, which gave voters the power to remove government officials if they were unpopular or corrupt which

Second, the constitution does not give enough power to the people. We need the states to have more power and the national government less. The country is too big for a national government to take care of the needs of the citizens properly. We also need to see a legislative branch have more power and an executive branch less power. More representation in the

One reason we should not ratify the Constitution is because the Executive branch would be able to tax citizen and the states wouldn 't be able to say no.Amos Singletary stated that Congress wouldn 't lay taxes directly but they will still collect all the money they want. "They tell us Congress won 't lay direct taxes upon us, but collect all the money they want by impost."This means that Congress is going to tax the people in other way then directly and they can tax the people with as much money as they want. That means that many people are going to go into debt because they don 't have enough money to pay them. Singletary also says, Congress expects to be in a higher class of the Constitution and get all of the money and power. "They expect to be the managers of this Constitution, and get all the power and all the money into their own hands."This means that Congress is going to receive all of the money that is supposed to get our country out of debt and use it for

Right now a debate is accruing about weather or not we should ratify the constitution. This is an important moment in our country history because if we ratify the constitution it could make our country better or make it worse.We are at a crossroads in the history of our country. The Articles of Confederation are not working. They give the states too much power and are too weak. We can not pay our debts as a nation.The proposed Constitution would give us a strong government so that we can rise money through taxes. It could create a strong system of representatives. For these reasons I think we should ratify the Constitution.

James Madison makes very good arguments in this essay about adopting the Constitution, especially by starting off with ways to control factions like in the Shay’s Rebellion incident. Justice must be served and these factions cannon control government like that. However, he makes it clear that protecting individual rights is important. Even though there would be large populations voting for a representative, I do not think that will necessarily stop corruption of high ranked officials based on faction

It’s too hard to amend the constitution because there are only 27 constitutional amendments that was created and hardly it is amended. There is a reason why it is hard to amend the constitution. The reason is that the Founding Fathers made purposely a hard process. The process that made by the Founding Fathers means that is going to be very challenging to change the constitution. To amend the constitution for both the Congress and the States by allowing to have super-majorities, which is going to make more difficult to process a change. And also, there are huge population in America, which means that is hard to get every person to admit or acknowledge the same rules or policies and amendments. Therefore it’s very hard to make the process or

The founding fathers made it so difficult to amend the constitution for numerous reasons. The most obvious being that it was considered a safe guard for the Americans. It was meant to protect the people from tyranny. They wanted to insure no one can just come in and amend it without thinking of the common good of the people. The document was so very well written and thought out, they knew that they wouldn’t need many add-ins. To make the process complicated means that if what the future government wanted to change was that necessary, it would find its way to be decided, voted on, and added in.

The Articles of Confederation which was ratified in 1781 should not be replaced. The articles kept the states together in a “league of friendship” (O’Connor, Sabato, and Yanus 32). In a government like this, the states would be kept intact and

If I had the opportunity to change the Constitution of the United States of America, I would change the Electoral College system. Like many other Americans, I feel that the Electoral College system is not effective. It caries a notion of the state versus the people, electors oversee a large part of the country and is change the answer to this issue? I believe that times have changed and we need to reform the electoral system all while not changing the constitution.

The article that I found is about how to treat depression without taking any medication. According to the author of this article, meditating before running can significantly decrease depression. Someone who has depression problem and he or she meditates and runs regularly recover faster than someone who just practices either of those activities alone.

With these changes, we could fix these problems. If we put other branches in place so multiple groups have the same amount of power. If we change the voting to 58% instead of 100%. If we have it be mandatory that states give money to the government, and let the qualified people have the money they deserve, we could have a functioning
