Abraham Lincoln said :“No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent.” In 1898 America won the Spanish-American War and during the aftermath the US was faced with a few choices when it came to the Philippines: hand the Philippines back to Spain, give the Philippines independence, or the US could annex the Philippines. The act of annexation was imperialistic, and imperialism was the practice of building an empire by founding colonies or conquering other nations. In the end the US decided to annex the Philippines, welcoming them to be a part of the US territory. Should the United States have annexed the Philippines?
Above all, the senators nominated by senate are the venerable politicians, nobles, and the people possessing good prestige and social status. So Senate is a good completion and supplement to the House of Commons from both the political background and diversity, which can reach a balance and stability for legislation system. With the social progress and continues development of legislation system, the rhetoric and proud of appointment and dismissal, the power of supervision and voting are replaced by the “Only relatives are employed”, ”political return” system. The shortcoming of system and its devoid of keeping pace to time finally hamper the development of itself, however. Under this circumstances, “Duffy” is the essential victim under the increasingly corrupt
Because of its many complexity’s, the Nevada state legislature has various strengths and weaknesses and some components are both. For example, the 120-day session restriction. The restriction saves the state money, because the longer a session runs the costlier it becomes, even though the state only pays a salary for the first 60 days, they still pay expenses for the second 60. However, this session restriction also forces the legislator to do a lot in a relatively short time. Which can lead to questionable decision making, such as when the time the senate passed 9 bills in seven minutes (pg. 72). Another weakness of the legislature, is the decision to have biennale sessions rather than annual sessions, which has created problems for the

In effect, the individual member leans towards individualistic policies that are beneficial to maintaining office. In Mayhew’s argument he presents the “marginal congressman”, making the point that individuals should ignore national trends and, “…treat them as acts of God over which they can exercise no control.” (p. 129). As he states further, “It makes much more sense to devote resources to things over which they think they can have some control.”
In 1899, the United States annexed the Philippines after a short but bloody war with Spain. These rich, plentiful islands full of resources were in great demand. The U.S. saw the Philippines; fighting against Spain so like them when they were rebelling, and decided to step in and aid ‘the spirit of 1776’ (Doc. A). However, the question still remains: should the United States have annexed the Philippines?

Torin Russell-Weddington Mrs. Quaden Civics 10 December 2017 Writing Activity 14 Nebraska did not always have a unicameral legislature, the idea of developing a unicameral legislature was started with the founding fathers, however in order to best suit the demands of all the states when ratifying the Constitution they decided that Congress would consist of two houses. The idea of having a unicameral legislature in Nebraska started in the era of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, and it was Senator George Norris that started passionately campaigning for it. Senator George Norris was a New Deal Republican who believed that having a two house Congress was an outdated and inefficient system that needed to be remedied. Senator Norris believed that since the United States was built upon the ideal of their being only one class of people, and that the legislative branch of government should reflect that belief. There were doubts that were raised about whether or not having a unicameral legislature would keep the checks and balances intact and that the legislative body would not become
The civil service exams, which are daylong tests designed to elect officials based on merit and skill rather than royal birth, started to become corrupt. As education correlated with wealth, many wealthy people had the opportunity of getting the correct education for the exams. Also, wealthy fathers who held power would take advantage of the civil service exams in order to get his son to take his position. There is significant separation with the classes, as the wealthy held power and the poor did not. These power shifts between the rich and poor had started to corrupt the state.
Today, the filibuster is a common scene in the U.S. Senate. It has been in practice for over 150 years, defending the minority against the majority vote. Measures to limit filibusters are implemented in Congress currently, including Woodrow Wilson’s
In recent years, the U.S. Senate has been embroiled in a countless number of filibusters which have a long history in the U.S. Congress. To supporters of the filibuster, such political procedures play an important role in a democratic society. They believe that the filibuster embodies the spirits of democracy to protect the minority from oppression in the United States. Reformers or skeptics of the filibuster, on the other hand, believe that filibusters sometimes severely hinder the operations of the government. Although people have witnessed many filibusters in history, the number of filibusters in the past few years surprised and infuriated many in America.
