World War Ii 20 Th Century
1,959 words
Republic (government) (Latin res publica,
literally "the public thing"), form of state based
on the concept that sovereignty resides in the
people, who delegate the power to rule in their
behalf to elected representatives and officials.
In practice, however, this concept has been
variously stretched, distorted, and corrupted,
making any precise definition of the term republic
difficult. It is important, to begin with, to
distinguish between a republic and a democracy. In
the theoretical republic...

Nicholas Ii Social Democrats
1,170 words
At the turn of the twentieth century, Russia was a
curious society, still stratified into nobility
and peasantry. The Russian people seemed to be as
immovable as the dark ground which they farmed,
welded to the ground by centuries of struggle.
While the Europeans fought political battles, the
Russians wrestled against the cold and starvation.
Four decades earlier, Czar Alexander II signed the
''Emancipation Manifesto'' which freed the serfs
from ownership by the nobles. 1 He had hoped to
finally...

American Health Care Long Term Care

... through their jobs. Employers used to buy the
insurance from a third party, typically the local
Blue Cross/Blue Shield not-for-profit plan.
Recently the Blues have lost ground to more
aggressive for-profit insurers. But their
strongest competitor is now employers themselves,
stung by rising health-care costs and the state
authorities' burdensome regulation of the
insurance industry. Federal law allows employers
who "self-insure" (usually through an arm's-length
intermediary) to escape state ...

Emancipation Proclamation Henry Adams
1,690 words
During his election campaign and throughout the
early years of the Civil War, Lincoln vehemently
denied the rumour that he would mount an attack on
slavery. At the outbreak of fighting, he pledged
to restore the Union, but accept slavery where it
existed, with Congress supporting his position via
the Crittenden-Johnson Resolutions. However,
during 1862 Lincoln was persuaded for a number of
reasons that Negro emancipation as a war measure
was both essential and sound. Public opinion
seemed to be ...

With Campaign Finance In The 2000 Election
1,646 words
The 2000 elections will be remembered for more
than the cliffhanger presidential race. This
year's campaign also essentially buried federal
limits on the role of money in American national
elections. Record-shattering sums -- and new ways
to get them into campaigns in large, unregulated
amounts -- have shredded restrictions imposed
after the Watergate scandal. On Thursday, the
Democratic and Republican parties reported their
first postelection finance totals, beginning to
provide a comprehensive...

Alger Hiss Communist Spies
1,458 words
During the late nineteen forties, a new
anti-Communistic chase was in full holler, this
being the one of the most active Cold War fronts
at home. Many panic-stricken citizens feared that
Communist spies were undermining the government
and treacherously misdirecting foreign policy. The
attorney general planned a list of ninety
supposedly disloyal organizations, none of which
was given the right to prove its loyalty to the
United States. The Loyalty Review Board

Deficits In The United States
1,435 words
Deficits in the United States Perhaps no aspect of
American trade is discussed more and, at the same
time, understood less than the trade deficit. The
U. S. trade deficit appears in the result of a net
inflow of capital to the United States from
abroad. Because of the stable and free domestic
market, the USA remain the most attractive for
foreign investments. Basically, the U. S. became a
net importer of capital. It happens in the result
of the fact that Americans do not save enough
money to fin...

Decisions are often made in the united states by

Gore. There were many events and certain criteria

Dante And Virgil Monica Lewinsky

Dante? s Inferno is one of the three parts of his
Divine Comedy. The Inferno is divided into

U S Political Million Members

The World of the Farmer In spite of their
remarkable progress, 19 th-century American
farmers experienced recurring periods of hardship.
Several basic factors were involved soil
exhaustion, the vagaries of nature, a decline in
self-sufficiency, and the lack of adequate
legislative protection and aid. Perhaps most
important, however, was over-production. Along
with the mechanical improvements which greatly
increased yield per hectare, the amount of land
under cultivation grew rapidly throughout t...

nobody deserves it. There have been many things

might be that, in America, any boy or girl can

to change politics, then there is a place in the
political world for you to help make a change.
Whether it is on a small scale in the local level
or the large scale, as in a run for president, you
