Beau Blevins came to speak at Emory and Henry College on September 14th of 2015. Right from the beginning he was impressive. Before he began his lecture, he made a point to introduce himself to every single person in the room. This made him more personal and easy to talk to, obviously a skill that has served it 's use during his career. Mr. Blevins has a masters in public administration from George Mason University and had a B.A. from Emory and Henry College. He is a legislative advocate for transportation and healthcare issues. He recently worked with executive officials under both Governor Kaine, and Governor McDonnell giving advice on finances and policy. In 2015 Mr. Blevins was appointed to the Mount Vernon Board of Visitors. He is currently teaching a course at Emory and Henry College that expands from his lecture. If anything, he has earned the right to brag on himself and say that he 's accomplished a lot because for someone in their early thirties he has done a lot and he has done a lot in some powerful places in the world. I would say that he is definitely the guy you go to when you need help on just about anything. The fact is, he has connections. One of the big things that Mr. Blevins talked about in his lecture is the White Paper. It 's, simply, the page of basic info. This piece of paper is what you give the guy who needs a quick run down and you 're the ones with all the answers. This can also be used in a first meeting type of situation. You have this one
Authority means the right or power to enforce rules or give orders. To do this they need legislations to enforce their laws, to function properly the uniformed pubic services need to have legislations.
Throughout the lifespan of the American government, there have been changes to the different branches. One cannot simply claim that they are exactly as the Founding Fathers had designed them and pictured them; they have become so much more. Among these changes are the adoption of the 17th Amendment, the general surrender of control of power to the executive branch, and the centralization of power to a couple of congressional leaders in recent years. These are some of the most important changes that have altered the Congress and the American government in general.
In the making of the United States, there were many events that are important. This paper intends to highlight a few of those events including; Magna Carta, Mayflower Compact, Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation and the Federalist Papers.

The Declaration of Independence in particular explains the rights and freedoms that Americans. Each document is like a stepping stones that leads to the next and building upon the pervious document.
The United States government system is very interesting and complexly designed. The state and federal government is a mirror of each other when it comes to the generics of the executive branch, legislative branch, and judicial branch, however, internally the state government has major differences on how the branches are conducted. Throughout this paper we will discuss the greatest difference between state and federal, which is the state cannot change or remove laws passed by the federal government but they could change how they execute the federal laws to their liking as long as it is constitutional.
I am here by writing this essay to explain, how these organizations in the United States such as the MADD, LULAC, and NAACP can educate and help our fellow citizens of America change laws that might well need to be changed. As well as explaining the common interest these groups are concerned with.

I learned volumes about government from State Senator Paul Bailey. He helped teach me how to write, propose, defend, and pass a bill. There is no other experience where a high school student can talk to an actual legislator about his ideas, or to learn so much about the process of passing a bill.
4. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of Andrew Jackson as president. Was he really the "populist" president he made himself out to be? Explain your answer.
In American history many acts of cruelty and or unjustified beliefs were acted upon. Some of these events were led by citizens and in some cases, such as the case of Andrew Jackson, led by presidents. Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States of America from 1829-1837.1 His presidency and policies, such as the Indian Removal Act, and his part in The Second Bank of the U.S and South Carolina’s Tariff, will be remembered for years. They consisted of such personal opinion and were so controversial few will ever forget.
People have their own perspective of a government that they envision for their people. Thomas Jefferson has been the president of the United States and ruled under a monarch. Jefferson couldn’t tolerate the abuse from a monarch, so he rebelled against the British crown. In 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote The Declaration of Independence, and declared the colonies were free from British rule. Before he became the author of The Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was established “ as an ardent republican and revolutionary” (Jacobus 77). Jacobus states Jefferson is, “one of the most versatile Americans of any generation” (Jacobus 78). In The Declaration of Independence, Jefferson and the founding fathers envisioned a government that would
The United States has a deeply rooted and embedded tradition through the Constitution of having a federalist style of governing as its structural framework for operating and guiding the government of the country. The form of governing is best described as a balance between powers of the central government and the powers of each independent and autonomic state. “Federalism is a system in which the power to govern is shared between national and provincial (state) governments, creating what is often called a federation” (Wikipedia 1).This style of governance has not been the only structure instituted in American history in order to implement civilized law and order among the people of the land. Prior to the
Experiences in the installation, maintenance and repair of government provided infrastructure has been my trade. The Evergreen State College’s Master of Public Administration (MPA) program, has strengthened my interest in ensuring reliable and cost effective service deployment. I am even more informed and aware of consumer protection and compliance.
By discussing some of the advantages and disadvantages of administration and politics dichotomy, an opinion of whether it is useful or impossible will be made. Wilson’s politics administration dichotomy refers to the idea that administrative decisions need to be made without political influence. One argument to this is that politics has transformed, let’s say, the role of a city manager from a neutral expert to a problem solver and dichotomy should be replaced with an expanded base of professional values for them.
Public Health is an important issue which directly affects all citizens of the United States. The administration of public health is not an issue that the citizens of the US realize directly affects them. The Obama administration and the Trump administration showcase two different approaches to the public administration of something like public health which affects all of us. The issues of the Affordable Care Act and health insurance are but two issues in public health. Other important issues include women’s health, health of the physically-impaired such as the blind, and vaccination of children. How is public health influenced by the government and by the administration of that government? Well public administration and governmental decision-making are products of civil servants and political actors such as the President or congressmen. That decision-making power and the administration of that power directly influence health policies and decisions related to public health. Both former President Barack Obama and current President Donald Trump held public health and the administration of that public health as important issues of their administrations, but each has handled or handled the problems of public health differently. This essay will first examine the Department of Health & Human Services as a system of public administration that directly influences public health in the US. Then this essay will take a comparative approach in examining the administration of public
