It is still somewhat up in the air as to why exactly Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris did what they did on that April morning in 1999. The boys were undoubtedly troubled by what ails most younger men.

As a result, the splintered facets of the Democratic Party have perpetuated the perception that Democratic political leaders are not relevant in the foreign policy arena.

He presented that the republican government doesn’t interfere with the beliefs of people because this system agrees with the common good. Notwithstanding the pros of a republican form of government, the Founders considered the liabilities within the idea as well.

In the simulation today, we met with our respective political parties and reviewed the pieces of legislation. Since each bill is assigned to a specific committee, we split up into our respective committees, where we read each piece of legislation, determined the pros and cons of each piece, and decided if the Republican Party would support or not support each bill. We also decided if a piece of legislation could potentially be used as a point of compromise with the Democrats in Congress.
