Pros And Cons Of The Senate

Summary: Some of the issues were the people that denied to agree or support the constitution. Some states did not favor the way the government limited the power for the federal government because they were scared it would overrule state laws and disliked how citizens were able to control as well. Analysis: There were issues because several of states took quite a while to ratify the constitution. The constitution needed at least 9 out of 13 colonies to ratify, however the states did not support the new system. It took 10 months for 9 colonies to ratify. Although, it took almost an year the constitution was

Today, Supreme Court Nominee’s, Neil Gorsuch, Confirmation hearing came near conclusion on a very confrontational note with the Senate’s Principal Democrat threatening to filibuster. This would complicate the way the senate “conducts its business”. The Republicans eager to confirm Gorsuch only have a 52-majority instead of the 60-majority that is necessary. However, they say he will be confirmed anyway, even if it means removing the filibuster option and allowing nominees to be confirmed with a simple majority vote. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer’s decision to filibuster was not unexpected but it will increase tension in the senate. “If this nominee cannot earn 60 votes — a bar met by each of President Obama’s nominees, and George Bush’s last two nominees — the answer isn’t to change the rules. It’s to change the nominee,” he said. Although the democrats do not have the votes to block this motion, his filibuster will publicize the resistance in the Congress.

There have been no major votes on this bill. The trackers displays the bill being introduced still and it has not yet passed the House.

The 55 delegates sitting down in the hot, steamy and sticky room debating about what to add extra rules or change the Articles of Confederation. For about 4 months, the people debated about how the government should take care of the problems, not giving the states more power than needed, talking about compromises and many more. On September 17, 1787, the constitution was sent to Congress for review. Then it was sent to the states for ratification. It took about two years for the Constitution for ratification. There were obstacles to be avoided too. The Federalist had to face Anti-Federalist, people who opposed the ratification of the Constitution. They believed that because they felt as though it gave too much power to the national government.

On the other hand, there are a lot of cons to filibusters too. It is true that having the power to filibuster helps ensure the voices of the minority but it can also mean that having the power to filibuster ensures the tyranny of the minority. Because the size of the senate is not based on the size of the population of each state, every state gets two senators. It is now possible according to Jean Edward Smith, “for the senators representing the 34 million people who live in the 21 least populous states — a little more than 11 percent of the nation’s population — to nullify the wishes of the representatives of the remaining 88 percent of Americans. (Smith, 2009). This is completely the opposite of what the framers wanted, they wanted the government to represent the people not a small portion of the people. This is very dangerous because now if ever the more populous states wants to pass a bill on an issue regarding their states population, the more sparse states

Although the U. S. S. Constitution was originally built as a defense against pirates during the Barbary War, it is most famous for the three major battles that it won during the War of 1812. The first of these battles, which was fought against the British H. M. S. Guerriere, was where the Constitution earned the nickname “Old Ironsides.” The second battle was against the H. M. S. Java, a merchant ship bound for India. In the third battle, the Constitution contended with both the H. M. S. Cyane and the H. M. S Levant. All of these victories are owed, at least in part, to the ingenious manner in which Old Ironsides was built. The building style of the U. S. S. Constitution gave it significant advantages over the English frigates during the War of 1812 that enabled it to emerge victorious from decisive naval battles against such ships as the H. M. S. Guerriere and H. M. S. Java.

When it comes to voting in Congress, there are varying opinions about the policy. In 2009, the Supreme Court ruled against the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act. In the Senate, 44 of the 100 members are in favor of the bill, but unfortunately, that falls 16 short of the requirement. The same occurs in the House of Representatives, with 172 members in favor of the Respect for Marriage Act, coming out approximately to only 40%. In 2011, all Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary committee voted in favor of the bill, and all Republicans voted opposed. The vote was 10-8, but despite this, it will not have any opportunity in the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives is overrun by too many conservative Republicans to hold

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has been obstructing our government ever since the new administration took office. Schumer has obstructed every nominee from cabinet members all the way to the supreme court with the nomination of Neil Gorsuch, a very well respected judge and beyond qualified nomination for the supreme court. Not only does he obstruct nominees but rather many key issues addressing American’s today. He has told his obstructing friends in Congress to not work with Republicans on Health Care, Infrastructure, and Tax Reform. Schumer has stated that Democrats will not work with Republicans on these key issues and filibuster any votes if these issues do get to the senate. Schumer does not care about these issues addressing

Republican Senator Lois Kolkhorst is the author of the controversial Senate Bill 3 that was made to require people in certain settings to use the bathroom that matches the gender on their birth certificate. Public schools would be the primary target for this bill, but it would also do away with certain parts of city laws that protect the gender identity of transgender people. Ultimately, the bill’s author is seeking to use the bill as a form of protection and privacy for children. While the opposing side of the Senate, which consists of only Democrats, claims the bill will do more harm to transgender children and their friends.

Have you once heard that one candidate entered the race ,the election, without showing the people what he will do for them ? Of course not . Did you see one president of the United States refused congress decisions and veto them without taking the public opinion ? how can people oppose the president ? and how they change their minds about his work and performance ? all of this indicates that their is a magical tool used by the candidate to convince and persuade the people to support him and give him their votes and by the same tool the president express to the people his vision to alter or refuse the congress decisions and by the same logic people follow president actions to determine the way he/she is working to evaluate

Those for the pipeline say that it will help the economy, and that it will be much safer than transporting crude oil through rail cars. North Dakota oil producers will also get more revenue as a result. However, those against the pipeline say that even though it may be swell for the economy, it will not be swell for the environment. The gases that will be released from burning those gases from cars and other sources will help advance climate change, and is ultimately bad for the environment. If the United States just went to completely renewable energy, we could slow down the process. Also, it was planned that the pipeline be built and crossing under the Missouri River, which is the main water source for millions of people. Native Americans of the area--Sioux mainly--also have sacred grounds through where the pipeline was supposed to go through. The land was technically theirs in the treaty from the 1800s, but through deceit over the years, it has been taken from them. If the pipeline needs to be built, then it needs to be rerouted in order to protect the rights and environment of the

After the Revolutionary War, the thirteen colonies were in bad shape and they needed more of a structured government, because the British system was not good enough for them. 55 state delegates, including George Washington, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin then decided to create the Constitution. The United States Constitution is a document that was made to help America’s government and to authorize the basic rights of American citizens. It was signed on September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia at the Constitutional Convention. The Constitutional Convention was made to examine and fix the weak government that remained under the Articles of Confederation. The Constitutional Convention is also what made the Constitution. The Constitution is what established the American government and America’s fundamental law, and it assured certain basic rights for American citizens.

Do you want more freedom? Will you take sides with Publius or Brutus? There will be a new constitution if you choose Publius, our Federal government will be powerful enough to conserve our freedom, promote our trade and protect our properties! This is why the new Constitution is the best idea! The AOC does not give enough power.

After the problems with the Articles of Confederation, the leaders met to try to revise the document.  The members debated and created the Constitution after many debates between several groups like the northern states and the southern states.  There were several developments under the new Constitution. First, George Washington was elected as the President. Also, three branches of government was formed. The legislative branch could raise money and regulate trade. The executive branch was the president and his cabinet. Some duties of this office were to make treaties and oversee the navy and military forces.  The judicial system which was to oversee the laws in the country.

Life without a senate would be chaotic, if the people are calm and peaceful they might chose to live a peaceful life, to try and make basic rules that could act as laws. On the other hand, if there were a more chaotic group no longer under law, it would be crazy, there would be no holding back when it comes to doing bad things most likely. If you were to want to create a law you would first want to brainstorm a good idea, think of different backup ideas and be prepared to have to come to conclusion. This idea is called a bill, a possible law in the future. To possibly make it into a law you need to show the idea to the house of representatives, then the bill goes to the committee. Next the bill will be reported and debated, many different people
