The two people who have the most common policies would have to be Martin Van Buren and Gary Johnson especially the way they want the government to handle the American economy. In terms of foreign policy, the two have shown great example of why America should stay out of wars. The way Martin Van Buren handled the Canadian disagreement by negotiating with Canada and cooling down the American militias, I think this example is very comparable to the Russian aggression of areas that were formally of the USSR like Ukraine and Georgia. The next President will have a tough task of trying to keep the Russian troops out of foreign countries. Jill Stein has a very similar approach to foreign policy as Gary Johnson and Martin Van Buren, which consists
As citizens we tend to elect our leaders, especially the president, based on promises, reputation, and life decisions. When voting for the next president of the Unites States we are simply voting for the person whose character we like best. Their promises and platforms reveal what they believe in and their statements and arguments reveal what they truly stand for. For the citizens of the Unites States character is a extremely important factor in determining who they vote for because character reveals the personality and beliefs of the president. However we must acknowledge that Presidents are also human and they make personal decision due to what they see best for them and not the rest of the country.
Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson believed that U.S. fortunes were linked to the ability of merchants to engage in international trade. However, they differed in their opinions of how much of a role international trade should play in American commerce. Jefferson’s policy encouraged a quasi-free-market trade system through which the United States could import and export goods freely with international partners. Even when Great Britain was imposing restrictions on U.S. ships and goods, Jefferson sought to remain trading partners through “friendly arrangements with the several nations with whom the restrictions exist…” or “by the separate act of our own legislature for countervailing their effects”12.
Bill Clinton and Donald trump were two American Presidents that had unfortunately been impeached but for less unfortunate reasons the only part about it is what they did to get in that situation. What does it mean to get impeached? Impeachment is the removal of a person with power from office. Ways to get impeached are high crime, such as felonies in a criminal trial, another one is bribery, which our last president Donald J trump committed in his election.
In 2016 the two candidates, Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump, saw themselves being able to bridge the divide between red and blue. Clinton ran as a Democrat, but her past shows that she used to be a strong republican. As for Trump, he ran as a Republican, but he preaches about not choosing a side, rather just choosing what is best for America. In comparison to the 2008 election, the divide between parties hardly moved.
The amount of influence a state has on the election depends on how many districts it has, and a district is determined by population. The more people in a state the more powerful that state is on election day. This is because one candidate can win the popular vote by a landslide but if the opposing candidate wins key overall state votes he or she would win. Many people do not agree with the way the United States elects the president. Some believe it should be abolished
Every four years, American voters choose candidates for the positions of President and Vice President. However, when the
If Donald Trump wins the Presidential election, I believe that first two substantive issues he will prioritize on his agenda will be breaking and shelving the Iran nuclear deal and containing the spread of what he calls “radical Islam.” Currently, Iran has a large stockpile of uranium and over 20,000 centrifuges which can make at least 8 nuclear bombs, one every 2/3 months. In response to Iran’s nuclear program, the UN, US and the EU emplaced nuclear-related sanctions on Iran, crippling its economy. The deal orders Iran to reduce it’s of uranium by 98 percent and maintain the uranium enrichment at a level drastically below what it needs to make a bomb, and in return, the UN, US and EU will remove its sanctions, allowing Iran to gain access
In november of 2016, many of us went to our designated voting polls to cast a vote for our next President of the United States. Our government creates this allured idea that our votes matter, however this isn’t the case. The Electoral College is the process which is responsible for electing the President of the United States. In 48 states, after all the votes are accounted for, the political party whose candidate received a majority in a particular state is given all of the votes for that state. For example, if the majority votes are republican in Virginia, then all 13 of Virginia’s votes go towards the republican candidate, even if 49% of the votes are democratic.
Both the Democrats and the Republicans like to think of themselves as the true heirs of Thomas Jefferson. The modern Democrats are historically descended from the Democratic-Republican Party that Jefferson himself organized to thwart the ambitions of Alexander Hamilton (although, ironically, they were known as "Republicans" in Jefferson 's time). Democrats around the country annually celebrate Jefferson-Jackson Dinners, avowedly declaring a connection between Jefferson and the modern Democratic Party. But Republicans claim that their platform of small government and low taxes is more in line with true Jeffersonian philosophy than that of the big-government Democrats.
First you decide which candidate you will vote for. Then you just see as the voting goes on in your state and see how many electoral votes will choose the future president. Trent England proclaimed, "The people vote to determine how their state will cast its electoral votes. The candidate with a majority of those electoral votes becomes president. It isn't really that complicated, and it certainly isn't undemocratic.
Our current President is a big problem in the world right now. He lacks empathy, and is a serious threat to our Nation and to the world. The only way that this can be solved, is for him to be impeached. President Donald Trump has shown nothing but controversy, shock, and disappointment to America and its’ people. From stating that Nazis are “fine people”, to consistently spewing hate and negativity from his Twitter account, he has only proven that he is unfit for office.
Race and social class are two concepts that are heavily discussed in our day-to-day activities. They are fundamental aspects that determine people's access to resources, opportunities, and success in society. In this paper, I will provide my definitions of race and social class, identify my racial and social class identity, and explain the social institutions that have influenced my definitions of these concepts. Furthermore, I will discuss whether race or class is more important in the 21st century and defend my position. Definition of Race Race is a social construct that categorizes people based on their physical features, such as skin color, hair texture, and facial features.
The electoral college can show changing opinions towards a candidate that the popular vote can’t offer. Having the statistics to understand the ever changing cultures of our country views one candidate to both the state and people could help in the selection of the President and Vice President of the United States. One example being the elections of 2000 and 2004 where George W. Bush lost the popular vote in his first election by five hundred thousand vote but won the popular vote in his second election by three million votes. Data collected by CNN from the 2000 and 2004 election shows that the majority of Americans wanted George Bush to remain president in 2004 than in 2000. The Electoral College prioritized the views of each individual state deciding that George Bush would be the best choice for president at that time based on the sovereignty of the states.
Also, the electoral college forces the candidates to focus on several topics and regions. In December 16, 2016 the article The Electoral College is an Excellent System by George F Will, he explains that “the electoral college shapes the character of majorities by helping generate those that are neither geographically nor ideologically narrow…” (doc B). The competitors will not be able to become the president if the limit themselves to one topic and area. They must support several topics and try to appeal to all the states they can if they want to be the president through the system of electoral college.
