Governance, Politics, and the Public Part III:
Ethics, Citizenship, and Ben...

being poorly educated, indigent, feeble, and ill
prone, Dred Scott seemed consistent with society's

Democracy In America Elected Officials
1,179 words
The introspective argument produced by Alexis De
Tocqueville in his literary work entitled
Democracy in America of the American democratic
system is both cynical and enlightening. His
prospective as a Frenchman on the bureaucracy of
this nation cast new light on a government that is
proclaimed to be superior then all others. How
persuasive his arguments are that any American
citizen who has had the privilege to read this
transcription must question the convention of
democracy. Analytically appro...

... the state interest in protecting potential
life. First, it would seem apparent that the
unborn was not specifically mentioned at the time
because the framers of the Constitution did not
have adequate medical knowledge to know what we do
now about the biology of the unborn; or, they
assumed that it would be clear that the unborn was
covered, since they didn't deem it necessary to
specify that each stage of a person's development
was constitutionally protected. The Court seemed

Modern Man The Unknown Citizen Auden

The English-born American writer Wystan Hugh Auden
was one of the most important poets of the 20 th
century. Educated at Oxford, he attracted
attention as a prominent member of a group of

Political Power Make Sense
568 words
In the United States, one of our biggest political
problems has become that we are a country of
spectators. The average American citizen would
choose to watch football over reading up on
current events, and that same citizen would opt to
watch a political discourse on TV rather than
engaging in it. Some people would look at this
scenario in a small realm and see themselves; some
would laugh and wonder what the problem is. But
therein lies the problem. We have become a society
of alternate, passi...

Plays An Important Role Romeo And Juliet

The Legal System The legal system plays an
important role in the play of Romeo and Juliet and

wide array of legal terminology in his plays. It
is estimated Shakespeare possessed a vocabulary of
about thirty thousand words. Legal terms appear in
a good deal of Shakespearean literature (Mc Crum,
Cran, MacNeil 102 - 103). That has led some to the
conclusion that Shakespeare did indeed have some
legal education. But Shakespeare has stated in
some works...
