The “Corrupt Bargain” of 1824 – Henry Clay, speaker of the house opposed Andrew Jackson and supported John Quincy Adams. When it was time to vote, John Quincy Adams got the majority even though Jackson had the popular vote. Jackson believed Adams and Clay struck a deal that Adams would win in return for Clay becoming Secretary of State.

When Andrew Jackson was denied presidency in 1824 due to “the corrupt bargain” between John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay, he was furious at the lack of democracy in the election system. He became determined to institute a new age of genuine democracy in America where the voice of the people wouldim being monarchal, Andrew Jackson was a very democratic president evidenced by his drive to give the people more representation and also his attempted transfer of power from the few to the many.

"Thank you, my daughter thinks to too." Jefferson had an abashed smile on his face, his cheeks slightly pink.

"Make yourself comfortable. And I will go to my place." The guy told her and heading for the door, he left the room.

Isaac got up quickly with only his boxers still on. They both made eye contact with each other, standing there in surprise. Being completely embarrassed, Malessica turned around, exiting the room within seconds. Her face had completely reddened, closing her eyes tightly. Since she had exited, Isaac slammed the door shut, pressing his back against it. His face was reddened completely, having two girls appear on him without clothes twice within a span of a few minutes.

Laura unlocked her door, she opened it and turned to wave at Carmilla who started walking away. Laura closed

Disappointed Jared closed the door grabbed a few things including his collar before leaving his trailer. He didn’t see Jensen until their first scene together. Jensen hit his lines perfectly, but Jared was nervous; missed his cue, and the director had to cut the scene.

Being an avid reader, I came across two noteworthy literatures which I believe played a significant role in developing my personality and ideologies. One was ‘The Third Alternative’ by Steven R. Covey and second was ‘Bargaining with the Devil: When to Negotiate, When to Fight’ by Robert Mnookin. Although both writings take different spectrums, but I find them similar, implying the essential need of negotiations and cooperation among the two parties. However, I believe, the advancement of human race lies in disagreements. This statement may sound feeble, but plentiful examples from history has proven it. It was the disagreement which prompted American Revolution and ignited the cycle of change, later followed by French revolution. The disagreements

“I have security cameras in my house. I’ll turn them on and let them record. It shouldn’t be long before they kill again if they keep up the pace they have been…” He trailed off at the end. His face contorted with the confliction inside him. Kimberly could tell that the thought of another murder was tearing him up inside. She meandered over to the living room whispering, “that’s smart,” under her breath. With a grunt she plopped down on the sofa and rubbed her temples. Axel exited the room and returned with spare clothes, a pillow, and a blanket.

“Scarlett!! Charlie!! Finally, I have a class with y’all!” Ryan’s voice echoed through the open room. His voice was so loud, that Scarlett jumped and dropped the gun that she was working with.

“What's the honor to see Eric today?” Riker asked in his booming voice. Eric lifts up his right arm with the backpack in it.

Valentina padded quietly down the short hallway and let out a long, slow breath before she stepped around the corner, and then back into the kitchen. She found Cole stirring his mashed potatoes and her meal in the microwave, where she walked over to watch the black container spin. It crossed her mind to thank him for starting her food for her, but he spoke up and cut her off before the thought could cross her lips. He wanted to know about the tapes. Of course, she knew the conversation was going to happen, but she was rather hoping she’d get to sleep first.

Another point of view is from the book Bargaining with the Devil, here BATNA is an alternative used as a point of reference (Mnookin 2010). The author said that you should never be willing to accept a negotiated deal that does not serve your interest better than your BATNA (p. 30). Unlike Ury’s books, here you can, or cannot know the other party’s BATNA, but you can have an idea of their next move. The author used the power of bargaining (better your BATNA, better the power) to decide whether to negotiate or to walk away from the negotiation if the deal doesn’t meet the minimum requirements for one of the parties.

On the formation of the Social Contract Theory has a long history, many people have formed Social Contract Theory has made a great contribution. Thomas Hobbes as one of the representatives of Modern Social Contract Theory, his departure from the theory of human nature, to a fictional state of nature as a starting point, put forward the basic principles of natural law, natural rights, and then through the Social Contract Theory, the establishment of his country theory. Thomas Hobbes certain extent, played a significant role, for people to bring enlightenment. But his theory does not apply in all cases; we need to analyze different aspects of different problems. In this essay, I will describe the Social Contract Theory, and explain the problem of how do we get out of the State of Nature raised by Hobbes Game. I explain the idea of cooperation that Thomas Hobbes can give to this problem, and then argue that this is not a satisfactory response to the problem for three reasons.
