The Pros And Cons Of Citizens United States

“Sovereign citizens are anti-government extremists who believe that even though they physically reside in the United States, they are separate or “sovereign” from the United States. As a result, they feel they do not have to answer to any government authority, including courts, taxing entities, motor vehicle departments or law enforcement” (Dempsey & Forst, 2016, p.534). Sovereign Citizens are domestic terrorists who have committed crimes of violence against law enforcement officers.

“Political leaders who use the tools of mass propaganda to create a sense of faux intimacy with citizens, no longer need to be competent, sincere, or honest.” In the quote, Hedges is explaining who uses artifice and what they do with their power. Artifice is a skill that is difficult to maintain and keep realistic. Being the most essential skill, artifice is the art of deceiving. People’s ideas and thoughts are altered for the gain of one and the loss of another. Everyone will need artifice at some point in their life to get the attention, item, or person they want. Specifically, our current President, Donald Trump, uses artifice all too much. He has exceeded his use of artifice. Trump won was because of his excellent use of artifice. He was able to persuade enough people to vote for him and his changes he would fulfill. Artifice takes quite skill to make believable for your audience. The importance of artifice during his ruling is immense, making it the most essential skill.

One of the most misinterpreted aspects of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the freedom of expression. Group organizations have misused this much too often. In the past, many extremist groups have misused this right to protect themselves. A great example is the Westboro Baptist Church. This church is one of the many groups across North America that uses the Charter to protect themselves. The Charter protects them even though their actions and messages are harmful and not beneficial to society. If the Charter was to recognize these groups as dangerous, they wouldn’t have the chance to misuse these freedoms. Also, the fact that if a Canadian citizen were to use the excuse of the freedom of expression to defend their actions, they wouldn’t

The United States Constitution was drafted up to help America grow as a country and be a country where everyone wanted to live. It was written as a guidline to follow to ensure its citizens rights and liberties, and their pursuit to happiness. There is a lot of controversy over the US constitution on whether or not some of the things in there are good or bad or what not. I think that the United States Constitution was very well written and it follows a very principalistic guidline and it has its own moral and principals. Just like the unalienable rights that everyone talks about. These rights are meant to stand for its people. They cannot be taken away from the government, they cant be tampered with by the government or anything like

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

What is Citizens United? While it is also a type of political action committee, it became part of a Supreme Court case in 2010, Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission. Citizens United is a political action committee, a type of organization that donates contributions to campaign for or against candidates in the United States. Citizens United is a problem in United States politics because it allows giant corporations and millionaires to donate large sums of money to get their candidate elected. The Supreme Court made a decision about political spending that has ever since affected the business of politics in the United States (Levy).

Indeed, we got through the revolution. Our goal was not to make the same mistake as Britain, but to set an example for the rest of the world to follow. However, if we get stuck at this point, we will never achieve what we have been striving for since the beginning. Therefore, I, John Jay, believe it is necessary to ratify the Constitution for our own good. Prior to the talks of Revolution, I was a successful lawyer, and before that, studied at Kings College (Columbia University) (“John Jay”).

Diving in the Citizen’s United Ruling case state that corporations and other independent groups have the right to raise unlimited campaign funds. This campaign fund, representing the corporation's freedom of speech, can be used for and against federal candidates. The ruling of Citizen United permitted groups to make “independent expenditures,” not affiliated with any candidate or party since they were not allowed to spend treasury funds in Federal elections (Citizens United). Corporations and unions can have a certain limited contribution to their political action committees, organizations that raise and spend money for specific candidates, that then contribute to the outcome of federal campaigns. Organizations, social welfare, and trade associations

After the 9/11 attacks, the U.S passed a variation of the elastic clause called the Patriot Act, which allows the U.S to do whatever is necessary for the protection of the U.S from terrorists. Some of these actions include seizing the homes of Muslims citizens and spying on suspicious U.S citizens who may be connected to terrorist groups. Even though controversy has arisen about whether or not this is constitutional, the United States used the elastic clause to defend the patriot act. By doing this the federal government claims that they are allowed to go beyond the law in times of crisis in order to do things that are necessary for national security. Although the federal government argues that they have the right to violate multiple amendments through the Elastic Clause and Patriot Act, using the privilege to obstruct and abuse the assumed powers of the constitution has an extremely negative effect on the structure of democracy in the nation, proving that using these clauses to seize the homes of “suspicious” Muslim citizens only affects the nation negatively in the long term.

At the very first sentence, he introduces himself as member of congress and the current Republican frontrunner, so that he can appeal to authority that people can believe his words. He usually uses the words which are related to pathos such as protecting our homeland, creating jobs, and reducing the debt. Those words definitely appeals to audience’s emotion. He uses some rhetorical tactics such as antithesis and satire. Through antithesis, he explains that many congress men, who should put more effort on improving economic and national security, are concentrating on their personal job security. Through satire, in one way, he shows that our society is in a full-time job. He uses diverse types of claims such as claims about value, claims of cause and effect, and claims about solutions. Among those claims, especially he uses claims about solution so that he can deliver his exact message what he really wants from people. That message is that people should sign his policy. In fact, his argument is pretty effective because as he says, most members of congress are focusing on raising money.

While establishing the United States Constitution, the states believed in a free country that lived under a stable and harmonious government. After the adoption of the Constitution, following presidents would continue to hold onto the policies of the country in hopes to create a stable government for the states by participating in certain foreign affairs and developing certain limitations that eventually contribute to the development of the government. From 1789 to 1797, under the presidency of George Washington, the United States was able to establish both the executive and judicial branches that attribute to the establishment of a semi-stable economy and court system. He also supported the Bill of Rights that guaranteed the basic rights of the Americans and was written partially in favor of the Anti-Federalists. In his farewell address, he states certain policies that the United States should not participate in, such as foreign entanglements, however these statements were later ignored under the presidency of John Adams. From 1797 to 1801, under the presidency of John Adams, he sought to avoid a full-scale war with France by taking part in the XYZ Affair and the Convention of 1800. However, in doing so, it resulted in building coastal defenses and started the construction of the Department of the Navy and created a standing army, which urged for military defense funding. Under his presidency, he also created and ratified the Alien and Sedition Acts, where these acts

Citizens United v. FEC was a landmark court case that dealt with regulations on campaign financing from corporations, labor unions, and other associations. It started when Citizens United, a conservative non-profit organization, attempted to broadcast a film criticizing Hillary Clinton shortly before the Democratic primaries in which she was running for

The increasingly popular organization, Citizens United, is focused on circumscribing government in order to decentralize power and place it in the hands of the people (“Who-We-Are”). Their firm beliefs are rooted in the ideas that the founding fathers had for this country based on values such as common sense, good will, and honesty (“Who-We-Are). Citizens United Productions, or (CUP) is an award-winning documentary production crew run by Citizens United with the intention of revealing the truth about particular candidates, which often tend to reveal damaging information about said candidate. (“Who-We-Are”). Recently, Citizens

Citizens United is a conservative non-profit group that sought to challenge Michael Moore’s movie Ferienheit 9/11 through section 203 of the McCain-Feingold Act. Citizens United called into question Moore’s movie citing the motive behind the film was to advocate the defeat of President Bush and that it was

After the Citizen United vs. the FEC Supreme Court ruling, in favor of Citizens United, political campaigns have the ability to raise much greater funds through organizations called super PACs. According to Michael Beckel a political reporter for the Center for Public Integrity, “Officially known as “independent expenditure-only committees”— and unofficially dubbed “super PACs”—these political action committees are able to raise unlimited amounts of money from individuals, corporations, unions, and other organizations” (Beckel 655). On top of the ability to raise unlimited funds, the individuals donating are not required to disclose their names. This could lead to some serious corruption. Super PACs can run as much advertisement either for or against a political candidate, seriously swaying the way citizen’s vote and view a candidate. In fact “super PACs are allowed to use 100 percent of the funds they raise to influence elections” (Beckel 656). No one expected this Supreme Court ruling to have an impact so fast. As stated in an article published by The Nation, “The total number of TV ads for House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates in 2010 was 2,870,000. This was a 250 percent increase over the number of TV ads
