Interstate 90

People in the American society have different opinions on the Electoral College in America. In my opinion I believe the Electoral college is “an embarrassment to America’s democracy” as it is said in the argumentative statement. The Americans voting system for presidency doesn’t allow individuals in the society vote to count towards the presidential nomination. Furthermore, individuals in the American society can even say that our vote is pointless because of the Electoral College, which is a group

Beginning at the time the Electoral College was put into place, many debated over its pros and cons. As time has gone on, more and more people have begun to show support for a change in the system (Saad 2013). After George W. Bush defeated AL Gore in the 2000 election by losing popular vote, but winning the college, leading to a “legal recount contest”, many began to question the fairness of the college (Cohen, 2010). This marked the “third time in the nation’s history” the less popular candidate

During the 2016 Presidential election, candidate Donald Trump lost the National popular vote to candidate Hillary Clinton by almost 3 million votes, but he still won the Presidential election by getting 304 Electoral College votes. (The Electoral College: Top 3… 1)The result of the 2016 Presidential election reflects a significant defect of the Electoral College System that the support from majority American population could not promise the presidency to a candidate. In fact, the it is not the first

To: Speaker of the House Paul Ryan From: Taylor Sanders, Making America Just Again Subject: Replacing the Electoral College with the popular vote Date: October 20, 2017 As Abraham Lincoln once said, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth". With this is mind, I propose that the Electoral College should be removed and replaced with a popular vote system. Although some people defend the Electoral College because it has worked, generally, for hundreds

advancement in technology. With the reliance on automobiles and the fascination to travel, one of the major influences in the United States has been the Interstate Highway System. The American life has formed the societies’ norms, values, and beliefs around the use of the Interstate Highway System since it was first built in 1956. The Interstate Highway System has provided Americans a method to travel from one destination to another, which has lead to a much simpler life. (Hall, J., & Hall, L.).

good ole Route 66. Exit up ahead. Ah sweet ole Route 66. As many people think that the Interstate is an easy quick way to get from where they was to where they need to be at; others may think it is terrible and drains their time so they take other highways. If you are like some out of many you want something calm and collective; not busy and chaotic. Many people think that they should go 80 to 90 miles per hour when they should only be going 70 miles per hour or lower which to me seems like

Ogden sued Gibbons. This case eventually went to the Supreme Court . The Supreme Court ruled in favour of Gibbons, since his right to operate a steamboat on that route was protected by an act of Congress. According to Chief Justice Marshall, since interstate commerce includes navigation through a generally accepted understanding of the word “commerce”, the act of Congress was constitutional. To quote Chief Justice Marshall, he also argued that “Commerce… is intercourse. It describes the commercial intercourse

The Interstate highway system has improved the mobility of our military forces to and from airports, railroad terminals, seaports and other military installations. The system also serves as an evacuation route during natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis. Without these large roadway with multiple lanes, a quick and safe evacuation would be nearly impossible. From coast to coast and from our northern border to the southern border this is our life line as a

injustice issue is that there is only one homeless shelter in all of Bergen County that only has 90 beds. Back in 2011, there was a count of an estimated 1,500 homeless individuals on just one night (“New Jersey Faces”, n.d., p. 1). This is a social injustice issue because it is not understandable as to why Bergen County only has one homeless shelter when they are over 70 towns within the county. A 90 bed shelter is not enough to help the 1,500 people without a

McCulloch v. Maryland, in this case Marshall ruled that Congress possesses certain implied powers. Other major decisions made by Marshall were in the cases Dartmouth College v. Woodward, Gibbons v. Ogden, in which Marshall defined national power over interstate commerce, and Cherokee Nation v. State of Georgia.      “John Marshall was the fourth chief justice of the United States, he was known as Great Chief Justice. He established the modern status of the Supreme Court.
