...The Supreme Court decided that the court was given powers that were unconstitutional in forcing of an government official to do an act, removing the court from having to make a decision. The Marbury vs Madison case causes more instability in government between the two political parties and between the Executive and Judicial Branches. Thomas Jefferson’s Presidential policies and actions created mostly instability in the government and some slight stability in policies and actions affecting the nation. Judicial Review caused stability because Judicial Review gave a power to check unconstitutional Bills and Actions of the Executive and Legislative Branches to the Judiciary Branch. Judicial Review gives the power to stop Bills and Actions to become destabilizing to the Judiciary Branch. Embargo Act caused stability and instability because the Act caused for the northern industries to be the only industries producing goods for the United...

...Chapter 11 - The Triumphs and Travails of Jeffersonian Republic I. Federalist and Republican Mudslingers 1. In the election of 1800, the Federalists had a host of enemies stemming from the Alien and Sedition Acts. 2. The Federalists had been most damaged by John Adams’ not declaring war against France. * They had raised a bunch of taxes and built a good navy, and then had not gotten any reason to justify such spending, making them seem fraudulent as they had also swelled the public debt. * John Adams became known as “the Father of the American Navy.” * Federalists also launched attacks on Jefferson, saying that he had robbed a widow and her children of a trust fund, fathered numerous children with his slaves (which turned out to be true), called him an atheist (he was a Deist), and used other inflammatory remarks. II. The Jeffersonian “Revolution of 1800” 1. Thomas Jefferson won the election of 1800 by a majority of 73 electoral votes to 65, and even though Adams got more popular votes, Jefferson got New York. But, even though Jefferson triumphed, in a technicality he and Aaron Burr tied for presidency. * The vote, according to the Constitution, would now go to the Federalist-dominated House of Representatives. * Hateful of Jefferson, many wanted to vote for Burr, and the vote was deadlocked for months until Alexander Hamilton and John Adams persuaded a few House members to change their votes, knowing that if ...

...leaking oil from the British Petroleum (BP) Oil Refinery into the Gulf of Mexico. In a report on the incident issued by BP on September 8, the company admitted that there were weaknesses in the cement design and testing. It is the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. BP is the third largest energy company and the fourth largest company in the world. BP is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. Its largest division is BP America, which is the biggest producer of oil and gas in the United States and is headquartered in Houston, Texas. (Wikipedia, 2010) This significant oil spill poses a serious threat to people, industries, businesses, wildlife and beaches along the coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. The spill continues to cause extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats as well as the Gulf's fishing and tourism industries. BP states that they will recruit a series of teams to clean-up the shorelines and workers will receive safety training before clean-up takes place. Floating containment booms along with skimmers, dispersants and microbes, and high tech centrifuge separators were used for the clean-up. On July 15, the leak was stopped by capping the wellhead, it was estimated that 53,000 barrels per day was escaping from the well just before it was capped. On September 19, the relief well process was successfully completed and the federal government...

Nottoway, which was listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, was an enterprise in the hospitality industry, attracting visitors to tour the mansion that contained many original furnishings. In addition to tours, the plantation offered overnight accommodations, dining and banquet facilities, and a gift shop. Nottoway competed with several other plantations for tourist trade along the Mississippi River, seven of which provided similar tours and elegant bed-and-breakfast facilities. Although Cindy and Faye felt that Nottoway was operating ‘‘in the black,’’ they thought they were missing an opportunity ; tour groups visited the plantation homes, but stayed overnight in the nearby cities of Port Allen or Baton Rouge in a Holiday Inn or similar facility. Couldn’t Nottoway expand its facilities to provide enough overnight accommodations for bus tours and other groups ? I marry there. The complete home consisted of a 53,000 square foot, 64-room mansion surrounded by graceful grounds, including formal gardens, a carriage house, and a caretaker’s cottage (20 years older than the mansion...

...Chapter 1 Handicapped by History Brief Summary As the first chapter in this long analytical book, chapter one serves as the foundation for the rest of the novel, with a basic premise that “history textbooks make fool out of the students.” It shows how portrayal of historical figures and events in the best light for the reputation of United States leads to biased and distorted historical education. Author’s Viewpoint Loewen uses two examples—Helen Keller and Woodrow Wilson—in order to illustrate his point, and I would like to focus on the latter for this analysis. Loewen states that while Woodrow Wilson is often presented as the founder of League of Nations following World War I and the leader of progressive causes like women’s suffrage, textbooks rarely make any reference to racial segregation of federal government and his military interventions in foreign nations (22). Wilson intervened in countries like Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Nicaragua, and, which set up dictatorship in those nations, but surprisingly documentary evidences only emphasize his role in withdrawing the troops, which sounds ironic considering that he “wasn’t” the one who put the troops in at the first place (25). Instead, textbooks portray his intentions as building up friendship or take a step further and blame the invaded nations themselves (24). Next argument that Loewen makes is that Wilson was a racist who effectively closed the Democratic Party to African Americans, a fact that...

...Consequences of Refusing Medicaid Expansion in Louisiana Perhaps the most significant of Barack Obama’s presidential achievements will be the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). He signed ACA, also frequently called “ObamaCare,” into law on March 23, 2010, but several milestones had to be overcome before the act went into effect in 2014. ACA was intended to increase the affordability and accessibility of quality healthcare to the American people. While these goals, at their most rudimentary form, appear to be benevolent enough, the law has been the source of many heated debates and lawsuits over the past few years. ACA was intended to use several mechanisms to increase people’s access to health insurance. (Dickman, Himmelstein, McCormick, & Woolhandler, 2014) The law called for states to set up online health insurance exchanges for people to compare and shop for health insurance policies. Individuals and families earning up to 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) would be eligible for a subsidy to help pay for their policy. The 2014 FPL for a family of four is $23,850. (2014 Poverty Guidelines, 2014) The law also required most uninsured people whose income exceeds 138 percent of the FPL to either purchase health insurance or be subject to penalties. Another condition called for states to offer Medicaid coverage to people with incomes below 138 percent of the FPL. This would mean a family of four earning $33,000, would make too much to...

...APUSH Study Guide 8 A weak Confederacy and the Constitution, 1776-1790 Themes/Constructs: The federal Constitution represented a moderately conservative reaction against the democratilizing effects of the Revolution and the Articles of Confederation. The American Revolution was not a radical transformation like the French or Russian revolutions, but it produced political innovations and some social change in the direction of greater equality and democracy. The American Revolution did not overturn the social order, but it did produce substantial changes in social customs, political institutions, and ideas about society and government. Among the changes were the separation of church and state in some places, the abolition of slavery in the North, written political constitutions, and a shift in political power from the eastern seaboard toward the frontier. The first weak government, the Articles of Confederation, was unable to exercise real authority, although it did successfully deal with the western lands issue. The Confederation’s weakness in handling foreign policy, commerce and the Shays Rebellion spurred the movement to alter the Articles. Instead of revising the Articles, the well-off delegates to the Constitutional Convention created a charter for a whole new government. In a series of compromises, the convention produced a plan that provided for a vigorous central government, a strong executive, the protection for property, while still upholding republican...

...(Reuters) - With the failure this weekend of BP's "top kill" attempt to plug its leaking Gulf of Mexico oil well, fears are growing that the economic and environmental impact of the nearly six-week-old spill can only spread. Here are some facts about effects of the worst ever U.S. oil spill, triggered by the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig: THE SCALE OF THE CATASTROPHE "This is probably the biggest environmental disaster we have ever faced in this country," top White House energy adviser Carol Browner said on Sunday. "There could be oil coming up 'til August." Browner told CBS's "Face The Nation," "We are prepared for the worst." Louisiana, the nearest state to BP's gushing undersea well that is 42 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico, has been the most impacted by the spill so far. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said this week that more than 100 miles of Louisiana's 400-mile coast had so far been impacted by the spilled oil. State officials have reported sheets of oil soiling wetlands and seeping into marine and bird nurseries, leaving a stain of sticky crude on cane that binds the marshes together. Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish, saw dying cane and "no life" in parts of Pass-a-Loutre wildlife refuge. "Oil debris", in the form of tar balls and surface "sheen", has also been reported coming ashore since the April 20 accident in outlying parts of coastal Mississippi and Alabama. In the week of May 17, Coast Guard officials found tar balls...

...spring of 1814 that Adams negotiated with Great Britain for an end to the war, agreeing to return to the original state of diplomacy between the two nations. Jackson was also making a reputation for himself. Known as a War Hawk, or a fierce advocate of war with Great Britain, Jackson learned of a massacre by Creek Indians at Fort Mims by the famed Tecumseh during the war. Jackson, overcome with vengeance and anger, assembled an army with the help of his friend Willie Blount, the governor of Tennessee, who retaliated by killing nearly nine hundred Indians with only forty-seven American deaths (28). Most famously, however, was the Battle of New Orleans, where Jackson was able to call martial law in the city and successfully keep from entering Louisiana River through the Gulf of Mexico. Jackson’s victory was famed and became the stuff of legends, as Americans far and wide, despite the battle being after the Treaty of Ghent that ended the war, would later associate Jackson with in the Election of 1832. Both Jackson and Adams advanced their careers in a positive direction following the War of 1812, so...
