The founding fathers idea for a great government was to distribute powers into branches that can also be balance and check by each other, which will also help them make the best decisions for their people. About two years ago, Obama put into place an executive action which protected about four million illegal immigrants from deportation. Since we were not able to deport all eleven million immigrants the Obama administration chose to help those that deserved to be here. They decided that the people that fell into that category were living in United States for several years, had not committed crimes and who have families here to take care of. It didn’t give anyone official legal status nor put them on the path to citizenship, because only congress can do that. …show more content…

Now the Supreme Court is deciding whether or not it will allow millions of undocumented immigrants to apply for programs that make them eligible for work authorization and benefits through the programs by the President. The President can make executive actions that effect the regulations of the governments issues, when he sees that congress is not taking action and that is what Obama did. The founding father made it difficult to create laws, they know if a person or group of people is given too much power then the government could be more easily manipulated so why do they want to over step an executive order, it that is why it was created

Expressed within the US Constitution is Congress' authority to write laws, while the Executive Branch is firmly restricted to enacting the laws. However, in 200 years' time, Executive power has consistently enacted arbitrary laws, and governed with unconstitutional agencies and czars.

The use of these powers determine if the president is going beyond the limits of the office. Many argue that the president has abused these powers with the use of the Unitary Executive Theory, which states that the Constitution puts the president in charge of executing the laws, and that nobody can limit the president’s power when it comes to executive powers. It therefore tips authority from Congress to the presidency, upsetting the power of checks and balances.

I decided to pick Alexander Hamilton as my Alter Ego because not only is he one of the founding fathers, he has a broadway musical based on the course of his life. He was the son of James Hamilton, the fourth child of a Scottish Landowner, and Rachel Faucette Lavien. Although his birthplace and birthdate are unclarified, Alexander Hamilton and his family declared that he was born in the year 1757 in Nevis, British West Indies.

Unlike many other Founding Fathers Alexander Hamilton was a fierce abolitionist who fought for the freeing of slaves. Growing up on the Sugar Island of St Croix made a lasting impression on Hamilton. He had early-exposure to the humanity of slaves and witnessed first-hand the atrocities that slaves endured. The import-export company which a juvenile Hamilton worked at sometimes dealt with slave ships. When this happened, it was part of Hamilton’s responsibility to inspect, groom and house the slaves.

The very fact that some of the Founding Fathers had a membership in the freemason fraternity is important to highlight, both when they became a part of the federal government and before the Constitution and its amendments were ratified. One of these very inspiring men was George Washington. As one of the Founding Fathers it is highly likely that George Washington greatly influenced the founding of the United States and the writing of the Constitution thus, otherwise, he would not be considered a Founding Father.

Executive power has gradually been expanding over the past years as each president interprets the lengths of boundaries. All of our presidents have impacted the fluctuation executive power, whether positively or negatively; however, President Obama had the greatest impact with the expansion of executive power by focusing on broadening human rights within our own nation, and also by helping the United States regain balance in the international community.

In the correspondence letters, the two founding fathers reminisced about their past relationship, talked about one another’s health and how things are changing as they were getting older. They then discussed their concerns about the Union and Christianity’s role in their liberty. They talked about religion and how the world would be without religion. I found their conversation about religion not being in this world interesting because they displayed their opinions and beliefs freely. In the end, I think they both realized it would be a bigger issues if religion was not in this world.

Most of the people in Qdoba thought that was smart, and that was followed up by someone saying that all ten of us should be the “Founding Fathers” of the club and anyone who wanted to join after us would have to go through a long process and never reach the status of a founding father. All of us laughed and agreed that was a great idea. We were going to be the ten people to call the shots when it came to this club, and that feeling of power was amazing. Carson also brought up the idea of creating t-shirts that really showed the club’s spirit, so we went to a t-shirt creating website and designed a shirt that had a midget standing on a burrito with the words ‘Founding Fathers’ on the front, and on the back would be the phrase ‘Every _ _ _ _ Wednesday’ (the blanks stood for a bad word, so we decided to
