1,471 words
The federal progressive income tax has been an
issue that has been argued on the floors of
Congress, in front of the United States Supreme
Court, in front of television cameras, and around
the dinner table. The tax served its purpose in
supplementing revenue during the Civil War and
World War I, but continued taking from Americans
income in peacetime, allowing fewer dollars to be
spent on goods and services. When the American
government was in a deficit, it was harder to
argue for the abolishmen...

It seems to be that amar's major complaint Is that
the college was made for and favors white
southerners and that the EC diminishes the value
of one-man one vote. Yet all his problems seem to
be just statements with nothing to back it up. He
fails to mention that there were other reasons
that the Electoral College was made. Such as our
fathers did not want a president dependent on the
legislature, so they rejected a parliamentary
model in which legislators would pick the prez.

differed in many regards to the Sophists, the

Democracy We Have Today Votes

After watching the videos on Greece and talking
about their way of life, I have learned a lot
about them. I found that what they did affects us
greatly today. They have helped organize democracy
to what it is today. The Greek culture influences
the democracy we have today. While watching the
video I was amazed to find that they used voting
so long before us. They would use rocks and by
throwing them into a large pot they would vote. If
they agreed with what was being voted on they

World War Ii League Of Nations

History of the League of Nations- Through my
studies and research I have come to the following
conclusion about the League of Nations: despite
all of President Woodrow Wilsons efforts, the
League was doomed to fail. I feel this was so for
many reasons, some of which I hope to convey in
the following report. From the day when Congress
voted on the Fourteen Points, it was obvious that
the League had a very slim chance of being passed
in Congress, and without all of the World powers,
the League had...
