It was for these outcries against what he feared would become an elected monarchy that Jefferson found many enemies in his era (A&E Biography, 1995). Just as Socrates' criticism’s on politicians, poets, and artisans led to him being outcast from a large part of society and ultimately executed.(Kaplan, 1951, 13) Jefferson similarly was ostracized for his criticism's of Federalist policies, but he was embraced by those who shared his views, namely the republicans of his day. Socrates too had those who supported him, those included his pupils such as Crito, Phaedo, and most namely Plato. (K .....

Government Should Establish Program To Reduce Juvenile Crime
Words: 1391 - Pages: 6.... by remaining. Subpoint A: It has become
clear that the state and local governments have failed in correcting the
nation wide epidemic of juvenile crime, since juvenile crime rates are rising so

Even though I am against the news media presenting too much school violence, Americans should have been deeply disturbed by this shooting because of the child’s young age. The Michigan shooting should have enlightened Americans to the dilemma we face in this country. Two weeks after the Columbine High School shooting, information on the mass murder was still being broadcast on television. The press was feeding young viewers ideas on how to kill their classmates. News was reported how the teenage murderers acquired information regarding building bombs, obtainin .....

Hcokey Night In Canada
Words: 302 - Pages: 2.... and their price tags are too high. Sport teams in Canada like Calgary, or even Vancouver can’t afford the hefty price of top-class players. While places in the United States get government funding and tax cuts. The Canadian government should help out Canadian teams, before we lose everything to the United States. Also a salary cap should be imposed, I think the maximum a team should pay for a hockey player is 4 million a year (currently the highest is 8 million a year). One last thing, cut down on the number of teams! Hockey will get more and more boring if you keep on adding teams to places that get less than 13’000 people a game, t .....

The Electoral College

process in the late 17 and early 18 hundreds. However, in 1804, the 12th
amendment was passed and the strong centralized government no longer
boasted exclusive control over the presidency. The electoral college was
intended to satiate the demands of federalists as well as antifederalists
but as history has evinced, it didn't. With the Electoral College in

Each state appointed a number of electors equal to the number seats that
state carried in the house and senate. In other words, when a citizen cast
a vote, he/she is not directly voting the .....

Words: 2217 - Pages: 9.... this something can be has been the
subject of many views through the centuries, and these views have strongly
depended upon the type of person whom the law has regarded as deserving
extenuated consideration when provoked to kill. In the words of Viscount Simon
"the law has to reconcile respect for the sanctity of human life with
recognition of the effect of provocation on human frailty. " In this regard the
difficult concept of the "reasonable man" or the "ordinary man" has developed
and with it the legal doctrine that provocation must be such as would not only
cause the person accused to behave as he did but as would cause an ordinary man .....

From 1920 until the amendment was repealed in 1933, something that had been legal in most parts of the United States had become a crime. Also, abortion, which had long been a crime in the United States, was decriminalized in 1971. Two years later, in the landmark decision Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court reaffirmed this situation by asserting that the right to privacy guaranteed in the Constitution includes a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy. Many groups that disagree with the Roe vs. Wade decision have attempted to reverse it or have turned to more violent actions (protests and other criminal .....

Revolution, countries needed colonies for Raw materials to feed the ever-
increasing number of factories, Markets for finished products, places to invest
surplus capital, and places to send surplus population. And social causes also
led to imperialism. Many people believed the word of Rudyard Kipling, who said
