Congress Argumentative Essays Samples For Students

The Articles of the Confederation, as the first agreement among the thirteen States since their independence from Britain, had been in effect for nearly ten years, when it became evident that a new document for dictating how the new country should be organized was necessary. James Madison had been working on a draft for a new government structure, aimed to give more power to a federal authority. This draft came to be known as the Virginia Plan because the main representatives of the coalition behind it were from Virginia. One of its main features was the proportional representation of each State of the ...

In March 1947, the president of the United States of America Harry Trumann gave a speech to the congress to which came to be known as the Trumann Doctrine. The speech is very famous because of what he articulated. According to the speech, “We must take immediate and resolute action. I therefore ask the Congress to provide authority for assistance to Greece and Turkey in the amount of $400,000,000 for the period ending June 30, 1948. In requesting these funds, I have taken into consideration the maximum amount of relief assistance which would be furnished to Greece out ...

Introduction

The American government was formed based primarily from the fragments of state governments instituted before the unification. After federalism was established in the country, powers were shared among the local level and the division of power was created separating the Executive branch from Legislative and Judicial branch. Through the years, the division slowly diminishes as one branch extends its power and expanding its influence in governance. The Legislative branch in particular continuously expands it power, which causes the tipping of the balance of power in governance. In return this expansion of power results to struggle and conflict between other ...

Gun control has been a controversial topic of discussion in the United States ever since it was initially introduced in the 1920s. The recent mass shootings in Aurora, Colorado, New Town, Connecticut and of Arizona of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and eighteen others has highlighted the relevancy of the issue of gun control. There have been many incidents like these in recent years, such as the shooting at Virginia Tech, Columbine High School and the theater in Aurora, Colorado. The wide and easy availability of guns, even to mentally deranged persons, is responsible for this type of violence and they need ...

The name of senator soon became a banner of political reaction ...

Introduction

Over the years, the United States has gained global military, economic, cultural, scientific, and political dominance, which has allowed the country to have a significant influence on other nations. For instance, American influence and power have extended across different countries such as Iraq, spreading democracy and liberty through military invasion and the War on Terror. In addition, the United States’ political influence has been strengthened by its financial support to foreign countries through the U.S. foreign aid. For instance, Buchan argues that the U.S. has played a significant role in enhancing the relationships of the free nations of southern and Pacific ...

The president of United States also acts as the Commander in Chief of its military. This gives the president the authority to command and use the troops as per his will. But does this makes him the supreme authority or is he constitutionally required to seek out Congress’ approval before taking any military actions abroad into imminent hostilities? I believe that as the Commander in Chief, the president is required to guide the military to achieve a win. But this does not give him the power to start a war or any other military action for that matter. The ...

Introduction

The end of World War II has introduced an era where human rights were not only appreciated, but also considered inherited entitled. They were addressed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly, as part of the International Bill of Human Rights, in December, 1948 (United Nations). According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 9, no person should be subjected to “arbitrary arrest, detention or exile” (United Nations).

Executive Action Plan for Immigration Reform

The immigration laws in the United States are in need of an update. This country is originally made up of immigrants, and immigrants today contribute to our economy. Citizens of the United States have varying views on immigration and the laws that should or should not be upheld. Being an immigrant myself, I feel that immigration is of a large to concern to myself and my family. I would not have been able to come here, receive an education and start a family if the immigration laws were stricter. The Republican Party is upset at President Barack Obama for pushing for a ...

The “Green” Problem of Superfund (CERCLA)

The “green” problem did not start as a disaster. However, it spiraled into one of the worst environmental disasters in the history of the US (Hatfield, 2012). It all began with the Love Canal in 1880s. Love Canal was excavated by W.T. Love in 1890s and it was part of the hydroelectric power project in Niagara Falls, New York. The project was never implemented and Hooker Chemicals and Plastics Corporation used it as a landfill between 1942 and 1952. The surrounding areas were later developed with construction of an elementary school and residential homes. It was not until 1960s when odors ...

The United States (US) is grappling with a culture war which is polarizing the nation. Workers who were considered solidly pro-war protested the Gulf War in 1991. What historical event or events may have led to this change? It will be argued that the Viet Nam War changed people’s minds about war.

Stephen Briar interviewed labor union members who were protesting the Gulf War in 1991. This population demographic had been historically considered pro-war. Ten of the union members were quoted in Briar’s interview; out of those ten, 50 percent mentioned class and 50 percent mentioned oil in ...

The U.S. Patriot Act
Americans faced one of the most horrifying episodes in their history of the United States. Many individuals watched with horror as the historical landmarks collapsed simultaneously at the hands of terrorists. Who could forget the shock as the terrorist planes embraced the Twin Towers as the terrorist snuffed the lights of many innocent victims? As a result of this horror, the American Congress waited for only forty-five days before passing the USA Patriot Act in response to that fateful date of September 11, 2001. A number of delusion individuals convinced themselves that they reserved the ...

Ever since the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the passage of the Patriot Act, the U.S. government has had virtually unlimited powers of surveillance over its own citizens. This is simply a fact, and it has been done without the consent or awareness of the general public or even most members of Congress. From time to time, the people do learn some details about these programs, such as when the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed that this top secret agency was basically collecting a storing the phone, email and Internet records of millions of citizens. At the same time, ...

The need for the Reconstruction Amendments after the American Civil War act as a reflection of the repression and injustices that black Americans had to contend with at the time.
The thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the U.S Constitution are commonly referred to as the Reconstruction Amendments. They were drafted and passed by the U.S Congress.

Introduction

Behind alcohol and tobacco, marijuana is considered as the third most popular recreational substance not only in the United States, but also in some parts of the world. The thing that differentiates marijuana from the other two is its legality. This paper will draw the four most important arguments about marijuana that justifies the reason for making it legal. The four areas of concern whether the government has the strong grounds to prohibit marijuana, health implications and benefits, economic value and social significance will be explored in order to make a strong stand to imply its legalization. In the past decades, marijuana ...

Toyosaburo Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944)

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 caused the wholehearted participation of the USA with World War II. The experience of war turned American culture into one predominated by nationalism and paranoia. A good example of this is the Supreme Court case Toyosaburo Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944). The Supreme Court made a decision in this case that reflected the atmosphere in the country more than the intentions of the American Constitution.

Toyosaburo Korematsu was an American living in California at the time that President Roosevelt designated parts of the country ‘military areas.’ Japanese and Japanese-Americans ...

Immigration

Studies indicate that when an issue is raised in interest to the Black and Latino immigration, the congress “glass is always a half full or half empty.” The Latinos usually embrace the die value of immigration while the black often encroaches mainly on their rights and privileges. It was all drama in the month of February when a bi-partisan group of eight senators decided to craft a bill addressing immigration. The bill outlined their intention to bring foreign laborers into the country. This controversial issue is represented again at the front burner for the President and the congress. Unfortunately, in the recent ...

The ways in which people interpret the past are often colored by the ways in which they see their contemporary times. One of the more colorful phenomena of American politics in the early twenty-first century has been the emergence of the Tea Party, a group that appears to want to roll back the role of government in American affairs much like the American colonists wanted to roll back British influence in North America. When a group of colonists stormed Boston Harbor in the guise of Mohawk Indians, bent on throwing a load of British tea into the harbor in protest against a new ...

The issue of health care reforms did not start when President Obama took office. The debate on healthcare has been ongoing. There have been many attempts in an attempt to bring revolutions in healthcare. The past efforts have failed in the past due to weak regimes, insufficient lobbying, differences in ideology and maybe the complexity of the issue. The issue of reforms was started in the 1800 but started being debated upon in the 1930s. The Great Depression was the most contributing factor that lead to the bringing up of this issue. This is because many people did not ...

Thesis: Burning the American Flag should be illegal, and Congress should pass an amendment to the Constitution making it illegal

Introduction
Arguably, flag in America plays various purposes. In fact, many people in a nation have freedom of opinion and speech, but burning the American flag is a form of disrespect to the nation. Flag is a symbol of unity; hence, burning it is a total show of disrespect to American people and the state. For many decades, America has tolerated the desecration of its flag. As a matter of fact, the burning of American flag is a questionable activity, in that why should an individual burn the American flag and all it importance. Since the end of civil war, debates have been ...

China’s Presence in Africa

China has long been known as a nation that has been a part of every history of each country around the globe. The nation has been known as a friend to many especially in the field of trade and business. They have introduced Western nations to rare and exquisite Eastern culture, cuisine and resources only one can find in the region. For the Eastern nations it has worked with, it was the Chinese who have introduced Western merchandise and traditions. At present, the country is slowly becoming famous not only for its economic boom but also due to its rapidly increasing power ...

Options for an Organization

Even as the 2012 elections draw near, president Obama has been struggling to convince Congress to rally behind him and ensure that the Americans Jobs Act is adopted. All this is for the sake of reconstructing the US economy that has been performing poorly. The sole objective of the Act is to put more Americans back to jobs thus ensuring more money in the pockets of the working population. For the interest of the above Act and the plea from the president to both the Democrats and the Republicans, this paper seeks to find out the genuineness of the ...

The First Amendment evinces the framer’s intent to create a “wall of separation” between church and state. The First Amendment provides that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” (United States Constitution, amend, I). While there can be no government establishment of religion, religion and politics have long been closely enmeshed. Since the inception of the nation, prayer has played a prominent role in government ceremonies (Lee v. Weisman 633). Beginning with George Washington, all presidents taking the oath of office conclude with the words, “So help me God” (Jonassen 861). Presidents and politicians alike ...

Health Insurance in the United States was implemented as a means to help individuals as well as families to cope up with the rising medical expenses. The annual report by has stated that the number of individuals seeking health insurance coverage (public) has seen substantial increases since 2010. This finding is in line with the assumption that the rising medical assistance costs have been putting a tremendous amount of pressure on people. They have been finding health insurance as the only viable solution to meet their medical expenses. But paying for insurance is not a relieving matter either (especially ...

One of the main reasons a doctor is often blamed for is medical malpractice. Medical malpractice can be defined as any act or omission on behalf of a physician while treating a patient that has led to the injury of the patient. Medical malpractice is usually deviant from the norms of practice that are widely accepted by the medical community. Once a patient can establish that medical negligence had led to injury, the court calculates the compensation that the doctor should pay, based on the economic and noneconomic losses of the patient. Economic losses include the income the patient has lost due to a ...

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND IMMIGRATION REFORMS
INTRODUCTION
On November 20 2014, President Obama spoke on immigration and stated, “We were strangers once, too. And whether our forebears were strangers who crossed the Atlantic, or the Pacific, or the Rio Grande, we are here only because this country welcomed them in, and taught them that to be an American is about something more than what we look like, or what our last names are, or how we worship”. The United States of America has existed as a country with many immigrants originating from those who initially crossed the bridge that ...

Introduction
In the United States (US), the judiciary holds the authority to conduct constitutional decision-making, in which they interpret the US Constitution accordingly whenever they confront specific cases that involve its provisions. There are at least three approaches to constitutional decision-making: originalism, living constitutionalism and minimalism. Each of the three approaches of constitutional decision-making have different ideological bases – originalism deems the meaning and intent of the framers of the US Constitution as important, living constitutionalism takes into consideration the various societal changes and minimalism emphasizes the importance of case-specific interpretations, being perhaps the most moderate ...

After the American Civil War of 1861 to1865, Americans were faced with the issue of reviving themselves from the changes brought about by the war. This is especially so with regard to the Southern and Northern states that had formed the opposing sides in the battle. Finding basis on the issue of slavery, the North had been anti-slavery while the South had been pro-slavery. These different opinions later erupted to full-blown war that tore America into half and in turn saw previous patriotic citizens kill each other. With regard to the ...

The efficient operation of a government requires that it adopts relevant mechanisms to control its national deficit. Even though the government can opt for other means of maintaining its national debt, the topic of sequestration is debated among many stakeholders in the servicing industry. The need to control the country’s debt has made sequestration a household term. The reduction in national debt requires that the national government initiates spending cuts in various categories of the federal structure. The process of sequestration relates to part of the Budget Control Act of 2011 that was scheduled to start at the start of ...

What do Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George H.W. Bush have in common? Apart from the fact that all three of them served as Presidents of the United States of America, two other things that they have in common is that all three of them were one term presidents and all three of these incumbent presidents failed in their bids for re-election between 1976 and 1992. All three incumbent presidents were bested by their challengers after only serving one year as president of the country. However, the issues that occurred during their one-term presidencies was another thing they had ...

Strengths and Weaknesses of the U.S. Constitution
Probably the greatest strength of the U.S. Constitution was the part that was added by popular demand, the first Ten Amendments or the Bill of Rights. It would not have been ratified if there had not been pressure from below to guarantee the basic human rights of the people, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, trial by jury, freedom of the press, the right to counsel, protections against unreasonable search and seizure, the right to petition, protest and demonstrate against the government. These were what the American Revolution was really ...

The wet foot dry foot policy refers to the amendment of the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966. The amendment, passed by Congress in 1995, was intended to provide a solution to the immigration issues between Cuba and the United States of America. Previously, the old legislation enabled express qualification for full citizenship to Cubans migrating into the United States. In order to contain escalation of immigrants from Cuba to United States of America, the piece of law was amended so that Cubans intercepted enroot to America could be returned to Cuba. However, immigrants who succeed in their journey to America ...

The concept of corruption and its elimination has long been a problem for the Philippines since the country proclaimed its independence in 1898. Every administration had claims of corruption activities, enveloping the country in massive debt still paid today. While former and present administrations have denied corruption claims in their tenure, one administration had faced charged both locally and internationally due to evidences showcasing Philippine budget invested in clothing, jewellery, and eventually, the beginnings of a dictatorship. The Marcos’ 21 year regime in the Philippines cited the highest cases of corruption by a public official as he embezzled money from the public ...

Any historical event has numerous interpretations and judgments of a certain time. American history is not an exception; it is full of important events which were definitely changing the country and nation. There is probably no more important and arguable event in the American history than the Civil War as a result of colonial societies’ existence for a century of common history. In this context, of particular importance are origins of the war and how each epoch interpreted them. In the previous times, the main reason for the war was definitely slavery as a symbol of social inequality and an obstacle for the ...

This paper takes a position on the historical question: Which International Relations theory, at the system, and state level of analysis, is most helpful in explaining Russia's position in opposing the invasion of Iraq’s politics by the United States in 2003? This paper seeks to prove how the integration of the international system caused Russia to have a preference of global diplomacy over short-term economic gains from the attack of Iraq. First of all, it is important to know that the invasion of Iraq by the United States was triggered by the fact that the United States believed that Iraq, ...

Aviation terrorism is the act of unleashing violence on airliners with the aim to harm or intimidate the victims. The occurrence of terrorism has increased with the rise of aviation as a mode of transport. The first known incident of air terrorism was carried out in 1930 by Peruvian insurgents who hijacked an airplane to scatter propaganda leaflets. This practice subsided in the subsequent two decades due to the effect of global factors such as world war two. Modern terrorism started in 1968 when three Palestinian gunmen hijacked a passenger airline of the Israeli Airline El Al on a ...

The debate over unauthorized immigration rages in America for reasons of economics, sociology, politics, morality, and more. The United States is a country with a reputation for providing refuge for victims of persecution and economic hardship. The protection of people requiring humanitarian protection has been a critical component of the immigration policy of America. Considered the “land of opportunity”, access to employment, higher standards of living, political asylum, free education and health benefits, and many other factors encourage immigration to the United States. The detriments and benefits of illegal immigration is difficult to document due to an inability to ...

Governor Wilson ran full-page ads in the major California newspapers, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, to launch his anti-immigrant based re-election campaign. The ads were in the form of a letter to President Clinton, demanding that he halt illegal immigration to the State of California as well as reimburse the state for the cost of federally mandated health, education, welfare services, and the incarceration of undocumented immigrants. Remarkably, Governor Wilson was able to narrow the complex political and economic conditions besieging California. It proved to be a politically astute move. In doing so, Wilson obfuscated the ...

One of the more striking features of the 2012 Presidential election in the United States was the refusal of any Republican candidates for any office to support, at least publicly, any sort of new taxes of any kind. Whether it was in the initial debates leading up to the primary season, or in the debates between Governor Romney and President Obama, the Republican argument was that all deficit reduction should come from reductions in spending rather than adding any new revenue streams to the government. The person behind this motif in the campaign was the one who shaped politics ...

The administration lied ...

Introduction

The immigration legislation in the U.S. today is the product of decades worth of political wrangling and public anger on both sides of the debate. The immigration debate has gone back and forth between the two political parties in this country to such a degree that there is de facto compromise on the elements of reform, and now all we have to do is implement the reforms that are already in place. The argument has gone back and forth for decades with both Democratic and Republican regimes signing legislation that encourages immigration then opposes immigration. The full circle is here ...

Introduction

Republicanism remains America’s ideology to date. USA is a democratic country whose sovereignty is exercised through two levels of governments- the federal government and the state government (Jillson 14). The nation as endeavored to regulate the influence of money in politics and election outcome through federal provisions and state legislations. However the influence of money in voting habit cannot be actively changed unless spending by candidates and political parties is regulated. Money cannot equal a vote. With inadequate public funding, parties(s) and individual candidates who cannot access other sources of funding may not reach out the voter- reducing their ...

Recent findings indicate that many Americans have increasingly become distrustful of their government. In fact, only a quarter of all citizens have anything positive to say about the government (Volgy 27). The president’s office is usually held in high esteem but currently, it is facing increasing criticism, and this has been the trend for the last few decades. For instance, President Dwight D. Eisenhower who was an American darling when he first ascended to power found his approval ratings dwindle five years into his presidency. Things were even worse for President Clinton whose honeymoon with the American public ended ...

The greatest stigma in life is to rob someone off their future and its many possibilities. To take some risks without regards to others is a regretful decision that may shadow a person throughout his time. It is one thing to throw your own life due to negligence, another to implicate those who are innocent. This is true, especially with something as preventable as a fatal car crash. A simple respect to rules and regulations effectively minimizes incidence related to these records of vehicle accidents.

The initial news about the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in San Francisco appeared in a daily newspaper in March of 1848. the news did not receive much attention at first.

The American constitution guarantees the freedom of speech in the part of the bill of rights. However, the constitution does not define it and the task is left to the state assembly and the judicial system. These branches of the state are responsible for the interpretation and application of the law in solving disputes. In its analysis, the Supreme Court has interpreted speech to include art and music, clothing, internet communication, as well as symbolic speech (Rudstein, 54). Freedom of speech is believed to have a number of benefits such as bringing a peaceful social change hence promoting peaceful persuasion instead ...

Should the U.S. provide its citizens with universal access to health care?

Interestingly, the United States is the only industrialized and wealthy nation that is yet to provide free and universal healthcare to its citizens. By far, the US is the Earth’s richest nation. Great Britain, France, and Canada have been able to provide its citizens with universal health care. The current health care situation in the US is affected by restricted access to health care and escalating costs. Insurance coverage currently determines the coverage of US healthcare system (Clarke, & French, 2013). Majority of US citizens are covered ...

A wave of religious revivalism swept over the United States in the 1820s and 1830s which led to increased calls for temperance and other perfection movements like abolition of slavery. By the turn of the century, women played a huge role in the temperance which occurred in 1920s and 1930s. In the temperament, alcohol was seen as destructive force in families and marriages and the source of all evil (Behr, 46, 1979).

The Chinese have long been accused of manipulating their currency to further serve their economic gains. The rest of the world, perhaps understandably, reacts badly to currency manipulation, as it is seen as the equivalent of “cheating” in the game of international economics. China is often reviled by the rest of the world because, unlike many other countries that pay lip service to traditional economic and political conventions, China has a tendency to act without thought to conventions. Even American presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused China of “cheating” at international economics and declared that if he became president, he would ...
