...to give lower social classes the same opportunities that the wealthy Bank owners denied, as time went on, he clearly made the Bank issue personal resulting in temporary abolishment of the Second Bank of the United States. Along with the bank itself, Jackson more specifically despised the paper currency distribution because it caused Americans to desire wealth without labor and increased the temptation to obtain money at any sacrifice. Jackson’s thorough hatred for paper currency and the monetary system of the United States during the time of his Presidency raises the question as to why he is on the most widely used denomination of paper money in America to this day, the twenty dollar bill. The Treasury and Federal Reserve ironically chose Andrew Jackson’s portrait to appear on the twenty-dollar bill to get revenge long after his death, but also to constantly remind Americans of the great effort Jackson put into destroying the Bank. The Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 was a bold step for the struggling colonies of North America. Not only did it defy the greatest military power of the day, but it launched the colonies on a political and economic journey that was without precedent. Because the colonies lacked any...

...all federal capital projects, only about one-quarter of the funds appropriated are actually spent in the fiscal year. According to his studies it takes that long to plan, engineer and begin construction. Also he stated that for every $6 spent in the Bush stimulus, only $1 actually got spent on goods or services. Five dollars out of every six in the Bush stimulus package of 2008 went to pay down debt items such as: mortgage, credit card, student loan or home equity (Dick Morris). Now if his numbers are correct dick Morris points out that, only 25 cents out of every dollar actually is spent in the fiscal year, and only one-sixth of that sum actually gets spent by the workers who get paid on new goods and services, only about 4 cents from every dollar actually stimulates the economy. Lastly he brings up an interesting statement, for the cents spent on the economy who says it’s going to be spent on domestically produced product, couldn’t it just have gone to feed Chinese imports (Morris). A year after the bill was passed the White House released its summary of 150,000 reports submitted by recipients of federal grants or contracts under the 2009 stimulus program. According to the Wall Street Journal, a Kentucky shoe store owner gave credit to the stimulus program for creating or saving 9 jobs as a result of an $890 contract to supply work boots to the Corps of Engineers (Morris). Now this claim is clearly inflated for reasons not clear to us all but it is clear that these reports...

...that we acquire are the right to freedom of speech, the right to choose our religion, the right to vote for whomever we feel will run our country to his or her greatest potential, and most important of all, the right to equality. Equality is the one thing that many Americans before us have fought and lost their lives over for centuries. Whether it be for race, religion, or the right to marry whichever gender we please, equality is the most profound rights that we have not only as American citizens, but as human beings. In this paper I will discuss my views on same sex marriage and analyze how the states Massachusetts and California are more liberal than the state of Kentucky when it comes to the issues of same sex marriage. The states Massachusetts and California are more liberal than the state of Kentucky when it comes to the issues of same sex marriage. In my opinion all American states should follow the state of Massachusetts and allow the right to same sex marriages. Granting legal marriage rights under the law must extend to gays and lesbians to ensure that all citizens enjoy full human rights. Same sex marriage is not only the marriage of man and man or woman and woman, but the marriage of two human beings who are in love. Love sees no gender, and my location should not play a role in who I can and can not marry. Literature Review Same sex marriage has been a major issue in our country for years. This issue has played majors roles in matters such as the legislators...

...The Economy’s downfall – “Our” Responsibility April 1, 2010 ENGL – 1304 The Economy’s downfall – “Our” Responsibility There are those individuals that ignore and enjoy hurting the economy than trying to fix it, while there are those who won’t quit in trying to find any possible solutions to help the rest of Americans and their government. To fix an economy in a recession is a step by step resolution. To cure in wound in your flesh is like trying to fix an economy in a recession. There are different ways to fix the economy with different legislations, low and high budgets, and leadership. To fix a wound you have to identify its past conditions, and then examine the event that occurred. Following that you create options to choose from to try and decide/fore see which will have a better solution. To first explain economy in American history we know that the economy was continuously up and down in the United States. In the growing years of 1990’s much effort was made to put the economy in the most efficient state possible (staying away from a recession and inflation). In the years of 1993, “President Clinton and Vice President Gore launched their economic strategy: 1) Establishing fiscal discipline, eliminating the budget deficit, keeping interest rates low, and spurring private-sector investment; 2) Investing in people through education, training, science, and research; and 3) Opening foreign markets so American workers can compete abroad. After eight years, the results of...

...writings on basic human rights caused a radical shift in American Colonist thoughts and these stunning ideas would influence the Americans to break away from Great Britain. “As a boy, Thomas Jefferson’s was shy and often tongue-tied…Preferred the company of books to that of most people.” (Wilmore, 1) These were words to describe the young Jefferson; his childhood would prove to be a key in shaping the man, who through his words would change a nation. Jefferson was born on April 13th 1743, in Shadwell Virginia. During his childhood he would spend 15 hours each day reading and writing, this would prove to make his writing skills at a high level (1). As he grew into an adult he would study law in his home of Virginia at the William and Mary College at Williamsburg (Bottorff, 15). During this time he would become a member of the Whig party and would advocate for the rights and liberties of mankind (Peterson, 1). It was in his childhood and as turned into an adult which he learned how to write and how to express his political views through words. “For Thomas Jefferson, the pen truly was mightier than the sword. From his pen flowed some of the worlds most famous and influential words.” (Wilmore, 1) Truer words could not have been spoken about Jefferson’s because it was through his words which advanced his causes for the liberty of mankind in an age when man’s freedoms were repressed by others.

...Abstract The purpose of this research is to clarify the origin points of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, its effects, repeal, and the effects of the repeal. It also explains the monetary statistics, amount of discharges since its commencement and emotional toll it has taken on service members. Though the scope of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy is great, attempts are made to explain the specifics from commencement, to repeal. The Injustice of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Homo. Faggot. Queer. Dyke. These are some slurs many homosexuals have been subjected to. In the land of equality and freedom, everyone deserves equal treatment. Ironically, those who serve their country are a victim of the most unjust and unequal treatment; most notably the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Policy, (DADT) which was passed to subjugate gay service members. This policy has a long and unclear history but one thing is clear: it has robbed proud homosexual service members of their honor. Its origin, effects, repeal, and the effects of its repeal have illustrated this truth. In March 1778 in Valley Forge, PA the first homosexual case in the military came when a male officer in the Army was dishonorably discharged for having sex with a fellow soldier. This was a violation of the Articles of War, a “precursor to the Uniform Code of Military Justice”. During World War II, proactive investigations proceeded to seek out homosexuals in the military; not too long after in 1957, Navy Captain and chairman of the United...

...Stopping Bullying Jessica Messer DeVry University Stopping Bullying Rachael, a seventeen year old high school student from Kentucky just wanted a regular high school experience just like everyone else gets. She wanted to be able to go to classes, dances, and the prom without having to look over her shoulder for someone stalking her and might even be trying to kill her. The great high school experience did not happen for her because she started getting harassing and threatening e-mails on her MySpace account. The e-mails consist of her activities during school hours and after school so she knew it was someone at her school. Her parents went to the principal with the problem, but the school did nothing about it. She received an e-mail stating, “I am not going to put you in the hospital; I am going to put you in the morgue.” After receiving this e-mail she committed suicide on October 9, 2006. Many of the children that take their own lives have bullies that don’t understand that their “words hurt”. (Neblett, 2010). Rachael was not the only life that was lost in that year. She had two friends Kristin Settles, (Settles, 2010) and Karissa Smith, (Smith, 2010) that took their own lives after Rachael did. The three teens all went to the same high school and was known as “The Three Musketeers.” Bullying has caused this community so much heart ache and pain that we as human beings need to step in and try to stop another child from making a choice that can never...

...Final Exam Questions 1. In the design of the United States government, Congress was given the legislative power. It "makes the laws" for the nation. a. What procedure does the Constitution require for Congress to make law? Article I of the Constitution "all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives." The House and Senate are equal partners in the legislative process––legislation cannot be enacted without the consent of both chambers. First, any bill for raising money (such as by taxes or fees) must start out in the House. All bills must pass both houses of Congress in the exact same form. Bills that pass both houses are sent to the President. He can either sign the bill, in which case it becomes law, or he can veto it. In the case of a veto, the bill is sent back to Congress, and if both houses pass it by a two-thirds majority, the bill becomes law over the President's veto. b. Describe the legislative process utilized today, above and beyond the Constitutional requirements. The general process for making a bill into law is described in the Constitution. First, a bill needs to be drafted. You do not need to be a member of congress to draft a bill. For example lobbyists and other congressional staff can draft a bill, but only a member of congress can introduce legislation. Bills then get referred to standing committees. Once referred, the bill gets on the committee’s...

...In November of 1818, Missouri petitioned Congress for statehood and ignited a controversy over slavery and a balance of power in the Senate that would span two sessions of Congress and threaten the dissolution of the Union and a civil war. Prior to the Missouri question, the Union had eleven free states and eleven slave states, each with two Senators. The Missouri Territory, carved out of land acquired in the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, covered an expanse of land just north of the Ohio River and just west of the Mississippi (these rivers joined in the southeastern corner of the territory). According to the terms of the Ordinance of 1787, which prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory, the Missouri Territory was designated a free territory, but many of the settlers had brought their slaves with them when they settled the area and were determined to enter the Union as a slave state. With the growing abolitionist sentiment in the North and the South pressing to legalize slavery, permitting Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state would tilt the power of the Senate in favor of the South and make the realization of legalizing slavery more attainable. Since 1809, the issue of slavery had been relatively quiet, but Missouri’s request to enter the Union as a slave state just at the nation was beginning to expand westward, thrust the question of slavery back into the spotlight of national politics. A set of compromises, known as the Missouri Compromise of 1820, allowed Congress...
