Kaleb Morgan Mr. Abbott Idv. & Soci. G6 12/10/15 Who Hold the Power? What are the best kind of systems in a country? The government is important, so is the economic system, but the judiciary system is always needed. The most successful government economic and judicial system that one could find across the world are Dictatorships, Socialism, and the Supreme Court Judicial System. First, Dictatorships, although disliked by many, can be extremely effective in decision making and growth and resilience of the country. For example, ‘Dictatorships allow for straightforward and efficient decision making as after the 1936 Spanish elections, under Francisco Franco, all rightist factions were unified. His uncontested leadership managed to take …show more content…
The two countries, China and India, both rapidly grew economically but while China was able to maintain its infrastructure and is able to deliver essentials, India has only deteriorated, showing the strength and resilience of a dictatorship compared to a democracy. On the other hand, “Other countries, such as Peru and Chile attempted to tackle income redistribution through macroeconomic means, in the case of Allende in Chile and the first term of Garcia in Peru, Which achieved the opposite of what they set out to accomplish, resulting in massive political instability, High inflation, violence and even a coup.” (Dictatorship Is the Best Path). While dictator groups were “coupled with the opening to free markets”, Latin America,which was a democracy at the time, was nearly collapsing in their attempt of tackling income redistribution, proving how efficient dictatorships can be. Another showing of how other government systems aren’t nearly as good is “Robert Marsh conducted a survey of 98 countries from the period of 1955-70 and found that: Political competition/democracy does have a significant effect on later rates …show more content…
The best kind of judicial system is the Supreme Court Judicial System. For example, “One thing that really stands out about the court system are the rights that are given to the accused.” Unlike, “In many other countries you may not have the right to a jury trial or to competent legal assistance.” (How Does the US Court System). This shows this system as much more fair to the accused, even if they did do something wrong, by giving them right and legal help if they can’t afford it. Also, “In some countries the punishment for crimes we consider to be a misdemeanor, such as shoplifting, can be very severe.” (How Does the US Court System). This shows how our system of justice is much more lenient than others and shows that, even though a person may have broken the law, we are much less harsh in comparison to others. A few examples of failures of a judicial religious system known as the Sharia are, “The problem is that it is all too easy for an individual judge to make some pronouncement or invoke some penalty without the full knowledge of the background of Sharia and the spirit behind the various laws and penalties. (How Does the US Court System). This shows how some religious-based laws, such as the Sharia, have judges that don’t fully know the laws and their spiritual meaning behind them, leading to improper punishments. Another example is, ‘In Sharia law any marriage that
Comparing the U.S. governments ability to meet the needs of its citizens compared to that of a dictatorship is far superior. A dictatorship is designed to benefit one or few individuals that have achieved power using capital or force. Their only concern is for themselves and what will increase their power. The U.S. form of government is restricted to the power of the constitution.
However, under other forms of government like direct democracies, citizens are not discriminated against by their own leader, and are allowed to voice their opinions on decision making in their nation. While every form of government has its advantages and disadvantages, totalitarian dictatorships have considerably more drawbacks than they do advantages. Under a totalitarian dictatorship and citizen's rights are abused, the leader is allowed to do virtually anything they would like to
Dictatorship throughout the ages has mainly led to oppression and conflict between people and government. Some of the notoriously bad dictators took office around the 1920’s and 1930’s. There were three main dictators in that time period and they all ran different countries in very different ways. Josef Stalin was known as the dictator of the Soviet Union, he was all about communism and did not care if there was opposition to his ideas. On the other hand, Benito Mussolini was in charge of Italy and all about fascism. Possibly the worst known dictator of all times was Hitler, in charge of, Germany, he was all about Nazism. Each had a different outlook on ruling, but they all did things similarly to lead to nations hatred against them. Basically, their ultimate goal was to do what was best for their countries, however, there want for power tended to get in the way. They all wanted to accomplish many things, they used many different ideas and ways to run their nations. They were all blamed for their nations demise in one way or another. This essay will discuss the similarities and differences between Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini.
Elective Dictatorship is the term used to describe the government and the Prime minister to be seen as having powers over the country that seem excessive. A government appointing as an elected dictatorship is likely to have a large majority over all other parties in the House of Commons. This essay will analise the arguments for and against the UK having an elected dictatorship. It will conclude that a proper dictatorship is never possible because the UK’s constitution is a democratic one and there are counter balances to accessive Prime ministerial powers. However when a government has a very large majority it can use its control over the House of Commons to make decisions that can seem to some as being dictatorial.
The United States has had a very turbulent history plagued by power struggles. Historically, those in power have fought to stay in power, while those without have fought back. As far back as the discovery of “The New World” men have sought to have influence over material goods, land, and others. Democracy, as well as who gets representation, has reflected this and has continued to reflect this up to present time. While democracy by definition is a system of government in which everyone gets a say, historically only those considered eligible have had the opportunity to take part. Early on this eligibility was established by the Declaration of Independence signed in 1776 which restricted this eligibility specifically to landowners. Although it did not specifically state that
The best government is a Republic government. A Republic government is also known as a direct democracy. It is very effective and works smoothly. The people are big part of the government, because they vote on a leader to represent them and make decisions for them. This way of democracy is amazing because of how the people are such a big part of it. Another interesting fact is that the first Republic was the Roman Republic. The Roman Republic was an impressive system that lasted for 500 years. It was impressive because it had three branches, the Magistrates, the Senate, and the Assemblies and Tribunes. The Magistrates were elected officials who enforced laws and judged cases. The Senate are wealthy citizens who helped pass laws and controlled
Democracy and Oligarcy as forms of government have been in existence for a long period of time, both terms first appeared in ancient Greek political and philosophical thought. Both forms of government exist in the modern world, but which form of government is more better, there is a question. So, in my essay I will compare Democratic and Oligarchy Governments to understand which form of them is the best.
The overall theme that has shown itself in all the textual artifacts is, Power is in people. In moving west for gold and exploration, growth in the literal Battle of the Sexes, or the building of a nation. Unity has brought power to the weak and made them great. Today, Americans have lost the unity that once built us. We seem to have opened the gates of hell as we let war consume us and let the People we had once been, crumble and blow away in the wind.
Power and authority play an important role in the fabric of society. In most communities, the people who hold these privileges are determined by age, profession, hereditary status and wealth.. Societies have clearly defined boundaries that dictate the authority of leaders upon followers, which usually consist of common citizens and especially, younger generations. Those meant to be followers should not defy authority as it causes their families and communities to renounce them. Furthermore, it prompts leaders to abuse their powers to retain control, ending with damaging consequences for their victims.Two examples that demonstrate these outcomes are ‘The Use Of Force’ by Carlos Williams and Mauro Senesi’s ‘The Giraffe’, both of which include protagonists that challenge the authority of their superiors.
The quote above means that the government has been powerful and during powerful government there are times that a bad government will be found. However, the separation of powers is good because each of the branches has an equal amount of power and each branch controls each other. So, there is no such thing as too much power. This limits the power making the government not as powerful and it gives the states some power to decide certain things.
decisions and for general impact on organizational policies. Their agreement was unusually high, which suggests that distributions of influence exist well enough in everyone's mind to be referred to with ease—and
Throughout history different types of instrumental regimes have been in tact so civilizations remained structured and cohesive. As humanity advanced, governments obligingly followed. Although there have been hiccups from the ancient times to modern day, one type of government, democracy, has proven to be the most effective and adaptive. As quoted by Winston Churchill, democracy is the best form of government that has existed. This is true because the heart of democracy is reliant, dependent, and thrives on the populaces desires; which gives them the ability for maintaining the right to choose, over time it adjusts and fixes itself to engulf the prominent troubling issues, and people have the right of electing the person they
Dictatorship is a form of government where people's voices are completely ignores as people have no say in contributing towards political decision making. Hobbes philosophy where individuals in the lower class are considered “stupid” or “dumb”, should not be given the rights to be part of political decision making. But by doing so it becomes a government made to disregard the poor and the uneducated. Ignoring the factor that the poor and the lower class people can be educated to become a factor or create an impact in our society. But with these “stupid” people, the country can not flourish and make improvement to make their country great. as people are the fuel and the drive force of the economy they are crucial in decision making. Without educating the poor, they are living in apathy. Where money will be spent recklessly, with people having no common
A dictatorship is a government ruled by one commander. An example of this is Iraq. Saddam Hussein is the dictator of Iraq. Whatever he decides becomes law. Dictatorships are similar to absolute monarchies in that they are very oppressive to the people of the country. The major difference between the two is that absolute monarchies are families inheriting their power while dictatorships often result from military takeovers or from an elected official who refuses to step down from his elected office.
