stages before it can become a law. Each year,

hundred of these will become laws. The rest are

voters in one or both houses of Congress, or by
presidential vetoes. The process by which a bill
becomes a law is complicated and may require a lot
of effort. Every bill starts with an idea. Some
ideas come from members of congress, and citizens

Versailles Treaty Peace Treaty
1,166 words
The Versailles Peace Treaty, signed by Germany in
1919, can only be partially held responsible for
the crisis faced by the Weimar Government. In
1923, the Weimar Government reached a terrible
crisis point in which it sank into chaos, facing
serious problems both politically and
economically. Politically, the Weimar Government
encountered extreme opponents from both the right

Democratic Party Corporate America

Unions and Politics Today and in the Future in the
U. S. Big labor sometimes seems up against the
ropes, a punchy political heavyweight well beyond
its prizefighting prime. But it's still a vicious
counter puncher when it is backed into a corner.
While hardly anyone believes the elections of 1998
are a make-or-break test of big labor's staying
power -- and some even argue that it has little
motivation for pulling out all the stops this time
around -- the midterm elections were seen by many

Fifth Amendment Supreme Court
782 words
Supreme Court Unlike many other kinds of history,
legal history often requires the disentangling of
long chronological strands. Although commentators
on the Fifth Amendment have tended to treat the
privilege as a basic human right, slowly unfolding
over the centuries, there are, in fact, a number
of different principles, most of which have long
been controversial, and still are, on both sides
of the Atlantic. The old common-law rule was one
of competence. No party to legal proceedings

Canada Is Formally A Democratic Country
1,710 words
Canada is Formally a Democratic Country Canada,
supposedly a democratic country, has a power
structure that has been criticized by both
domestic and foreign political observers. (Howe,
p. 14) The federal government of the country is
certainly not that efficient and democratic as the
countrys population would like to see it. If we
closely analyze Canadas government and politics
from the perspective of the formal and substantive
aspects of democracy, it is evident that some
drastic changes need to...

There Presidential Anomalies Presidential
Anomalies There has been a very unusual historical
occurrence involving the presidency since the
early 19 th Century. Every candidate that had run
for the office of President of the United States
in an election year at the beginning of a decade
has either been assassinated, died, or had been
shot while in office. This historical anomaly is
very peculiar going into the election of 2000, and
should perhaps give the respective candidates
pause. Starting wit...
