Affirmative action policies that were previously successful in improving representation of blacks and other disadvantaged students are now either dismantled or greatly

DeWitt presents research on the solution of the problem mentioned by Congressman Raskin in his article WASHINGTON, D.C. STATEHOOD: A GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS. Dewitt focusses on the solution of statehood for D.C., and argues that the solution must adhere to a geo-economical standard. I agree with Dewitt, because the only way for statehood to be a considerable

The President’s Action: The first issue to address, is whether the president acted within his presidential powers elaborated in Article II of the U.S Constitution when ordering the seizure the Tomanian Submarine. The President did not violate his executive powers by seizing the ship, due to the factors of the case, legal precedent, and principles constitutionally authorizing him to do so.

Davis, Frost, and Cohen expand on a growing problem in American politics: gridlock. Increasingly over the last fifteen years or so, Washington has seen what the book calls a “partisan divide”. This means that politics have become so polarized on each side of the aisle, that it has caused a divide on how the country should be ran.

Board of Education There were countless events in history that changed the American criminal justice system. One of the most well known events in history was the Brown v.

While the presumption of innocence is not laid out explicitly in the U.S. Constitution, the Supreme Court has ruled stating that “the presumption of innocence is evidence in favor of the accused, introduced by the law in his behalf” (Coffin v.

Affirmative Action in College Admissions Should Be Abolished Every year, millions of students apply to colleges and universities in the United States. The status of their application, whether they get accepted to or rejected by the school of their dreams, may ultimately be determined by two words: affirmative action. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines affirmative action as an effort to correct past injustices, means to right the wrongs of the past, positive steps to correct past discrimination

The Borinqueneers I will be writing about a special group of Puerto Ricans enlisted in the US Army between the years 1899 and 1959. This group of Puerto Ricans were termed as "The Borinqueneers". Due to my culture background I was educated in the fact that they were the first organization composed entirely of native Puerto Ricans who voluntarily enlisted in the new American Colonial Army in 1899.
