Democratic Elections -- Protection Against Tyranny
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses how in the earliest days of the fledgling United States, the leaders of the country were clear on their intention to assure that the government they formed would be one with safeguards against the forms of tyranny they had known in their native England. The rules established by the Constitution were designed to carry out the principles of limited government and individual freedom that continue to be valued today. But regardless of how such ideals are still valued, the fact remains that modern Americans’ high rate of re-election of their representatives to Congress may suggest that the citizens of the nation are not exercising full democratic control over the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Discovery Of Gold: Accelerated California's Drive For Statehoood
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Amid ethnic intolerance, intense competition, logistical nightmares, exponential population growth and complete absence of law and order, California was ultimately transformed from a raucous collection of cultures hell-bent upon grabbing a quick fortune at the first hint of gold to a solid and progressive cultural Mecca whose statehood marked it as a highly desirable place to settle. One of the watershed moments that all but sealed the future of California's statehood was when President Polk's State of the Union address painted such a rosy picture of what was transpiring with regard to California's ongoing mineral wealth that it influenced people from all walks of life to relocate and further enrich the state's economic, social and political pool.

Discrimination in Historic Immigration and Naturalization
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page analysis of historic immigration and naturalization laws which were designed to ensure a white majority in the United States. The author of this paper contends that the shortcomings in our current laws and policies are, in reality, just a continuation of the same bias and discrimination which have been in place for generations. The 1790 immigration law was the first of the legal biases which were put in place to ensure a continued white majority in this country. This law was reaffirmed throughout our history with such cases as Ozawa vs. U.S. Supreme Court and Thind vs. U.S, Supreme Court which reaffirmed that only select races and cultures were allowed to become U.S, citizens.

Edward Gibbons: Man's Historical Achievements Are A Farce
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. "History is little more than a register of crimes, follies and misfortunes of man" This famous quote from Edward Gibbons provides meaningful insight to what humanity's historical significance truly represents. When taken in its realistic context, one can readily support the validity of such a claim, inasmuch as the history books are chock full of war, strife, bungled peace efforts, political embarrassments, along with a whole host of other less-than-attractive accomplishments. That Gibbons sought to bring to light the reality of mankind's historical legacy concurs with his ability to see beyond the facade of dubious achievements. The writer compares this quote with real-life events. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
