- 2771: Haig v. Agee: Power to Revoke Passports
- ... of revoking passports in 1978. This shows that the Congress agrees that the Executive branch has been recognized as having the power to revoke passports. By revoking a passport, the government is not infringing on the party's first amendment rights, freedom of speech. The party involved is merely being told that they cannot leave the country, not that they cannot speak out against the government. For example, if a person is sentenced to jail, they cannot roam around the world, but they can speak out against the government. Revoking Agee's passport only limits where he can go, not what he can say; This does not infringe on any of his rights granted in the Constitution. Revoking ...

- ... continuously sustained the exercise of power by Congress over objects which the founding fathers could have never dreamed.

The founding fathers ... ultimately protect his privacy, his right to be alone, the value most highly kept by civilized men. Hence any intrusion upon that privacy is subject to the 4th amendment protections. [Government cannot be allowed to commit crimes in order to apprehend the private criminal. Crime is contagious. If the government breaks the law, it breeds a general contempt for the law.]
- 2773: Keep Our Water Clean: Clean Water Act
- ... and stormwater into waterways, authority of States to rely on voluntary measures to control nonpoint source pollution, limit Federal authority to restrict land use in wetlands, and require the Federal Government to reimburse landowners for loss of property value resulting from wetlands regulations. All of these measures will make it easier for toxins to be thrown into our drinking water by ... we care for the long-term survival of our water supply. By passing this bill and giving the responsibility of clean water legislation to the States rather than the Federal Government, we are inviting these notorious polluters to take command over our waterways to use them for whatever we please. Clean water is a common goal among all States and it should be granted to all States by the Federal government. By giving this responsibility to the States, we make room for polluters to take advantage of single States and use them for their dumping. This cannot happen if we ...
- 2774: State of the Union Address Essay
- ... the longest portion of his address to this. He appealed for "national standards" to improve student performance and pledged to promote such standards with voluntary tests prepared by the federal government. Most of the ideas Clinton presented last night first appeared as poll- tested proposals in his reelection campaign last fall: expanding the 1993 "Family and Medical Leave Act" to include ... organized and disciplined than some of his previous appearances before Congress. The annual speeches to Congress have served as markers of Clinton's ideological migration. In 1993, he announced that government must do more and unveiled a raft of big- government proposals, including a $30 billion "stimulus package" that was vastly more expensive than any single proposal he offered last night. Also as part of his pitch for more low- ...
- 2775: Communism in the Soviet Union and Why it Failed
- ... division. That is the primary reason that it was called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed.

In this paper I will explore the ... to guide it. This led to Lenin and Bolsheviks coming into power in 1917. The Bolsheviks renamed themselves the Communist party and under the leadership of Lenin took control of government and outlawed all of the other political parties. In 1918 they became the ruling party of Russia and formed a dictatorship so they could ensure the Soviet transition from capitalism ... of its internal vitality, the powers of the regime were still intense. Decay was probably unavoidable but the disintegration did not seem immediate. The counter actions to the already failing government are what caused the final demise of the nation, the actions only accelerated the demise of communism.
- 2776: Roe v. Wade
- ... contraceptives. Justice Brennan, speaking for the Court states that " If the right of privacy means anything, it is the right of the individual, married or single, to be free from government intrusion into matters so fundamentally affecting a person as the decision whether to bear or beget a child ". (pg. 106, Brennan) According to this statement and Dworkin, " the Court therefore ... would not be enough to prove to the Court that states can prohibit abortions. According to this belief, abortions are a private issue and should have nothing dealing with the government. As stated earlier a quote from Brennan, if this is in fact a private issue, the Court does not have a right to interfere with the bearing or begetting of a child. Contrary to this opinion, some also feel that although abortions are considered a reproductive matter, the government would be intruding and disrupting on the intrinsic rights of the human. They feel that although the rights the women have, single or married, to their private reproductive issues, ...
- 2777: The Line Item Veto Act of 1995
- ... parts of a bill presented by congress, while at the same time, giving him the ability to remove any "unwanted riders" attached to the same bill that would create unnecessary government spending. It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court ruled this bill "Unconstitutional" despite the President's and Congress' agreement upon it. Congress would most definitely want to give this power ... the bill. If we passed the line-item-veto bill this would save a lot of time and money. We would see many more bills getting passed instead of a government caught up in gridlock. In the government today, getting re-elected is the main concern of our Congressmen. Therefore, their first priority is not always what is best for the country or for their political party. ...
- 2778: United We Stand for The Red, White, And Blue
- ... the United States. This is sad, since if those people lived in any country other than the United States, they would be severely punished for even thinking badly about the government. There are also those people who do nothing but complain about how this country is run. Instead of complaining, they should do something about it. If they feel a certain way about a certain issue, they could bring it to the attention of the government. That is yet another good quality of our government, if someone does not like it, the Constitution may be amended. This country was set up more than 200 years ago to allow people the right to life, liberty, ...
- 2779: What Wrongs Have White Administrators Done to Aborginal people In The Past? Have All Wrong Been Righted?
- ... 12) Arguments have been expressed about the contraversy of whether all worngs have been righted. Aboriginals even today are not treated completely equal by all white Australians. Even though the Government has allowed Aboriginals to vote, receive pensions and the same benefits as all other Australians, they still have problems with getting employment.

At first, the ... it seemed that he began to believe in communism, Eisenhower's administration ordered the CIA to begin training Cuban expatriates for an invasion of Cuba in order to displace his government. Kennedy displayed similiar tactics through his actions in office as well. He continued the practice of Eisenhower's invasion of Cuba to unseat Castro by authorizing the “Bay of Pigs ... previous policies. Out of this operation grew evidence of Kennedy's “green berets,” a special task force used to infiltrate governments of third world nations to protect them from communist government influence. Another display of Kennedy's plan of fighting the Cold War was his dealings with the Cuban Missile Crisis. In response to information that missiles were there he ...
