    As a result of the Federal Constitution of 1988 enactment , the counties were launched into the status of federate entities, and, as such, achieved legilative, political, administrative, and financial autonomy. Regarding its financial autonomy, the counties's dependence on legal and voluntary intergovernmental transfers has been widely discussed, as their own revenues are insufficient to cover all the local governments's public expenses, especially when there is a significant growth in the social policies which these governments are responsible for. Since 1988, the constitutional scenario has been through considerable changes, as 96 (ninety-six) amendments were voted and approved by the National Congress, and many of these alterations had as…

    Each state has its own constitution, in addition to the U.S. Constitution, and as a result, its own body of constitutional law as well. However, there are several ways state constitutions differ from the federal Constitution. Usually state constitutions are longer and more specific than the federal Constitution. State constitutions focus more on limiting rather than granting power since its authority established. As a result, the constitution of Alabama is 45 times the length of the U.S. Constitution (Smith 61-62). The details in state constitutions are not just of a constitutional nature. They generally address topics particular to the state. The federal Constitution can only be amended through a lengthy process designed to limit changes to…

    America is one of the most developed countries in the world and a huge reason is because of the United States government. The agreement under which the government had been operating since 1781 was the Articles of Confederation, but it was replaced by the Constitution in 1789. This change was required due to the need for a stronger Federal Government. It is astonishing that the Constitution, which was created by a group of brilliant leaders still prevails to this day and serves the purpose of running the government. These men created a government from scratch, but many people were not convinced as to how long this new government would last. However, over the years it has been proven that the Constitution has been able to adapt and provide the…

    The Constitution was originally thought of as an instrument of national unity, but by the 1850s, that thought was debatable. The document was interpreted differently in the North than in the South, which naturally created tensions. The North and the South’s argument was whether or not slavery was constitutional. The Constitution did not say anything upfront about slavery, which caused problems and confusion. However, the Constitution was not a source of sectional discord, and it did not contribute to failure of the union it had created.…

Calhoun married Floride Bonneau Calhoun, a first cousin once removed in January 1811. They had 16 children in 18 years. Three of the children died at birth. He settled his family in Pendleton, South Carolina, on a plantation that they named Fort Hill. He split his attention between his 3 loves politics, farming, and family. Although he did not have much, if any at all, charisma or charm, Calhoun was brilliant at public speaking and kept everything very organized, and after his election to Congress in 1808 he immediately became a leader of the "war hawks." He became a State Representative in 1808 and in 1811 was elected United States Representative until 1817. From there he served as Secretary of War for President Monroe until 1825. Things heated up in the early 1830s over federal tariffs: Calhoun said that states could veto federal laws, earning him the nickname of "Arch Nullifier," and Jackson threatened to use the army if South Carolina forced the issue.

    We are not citizens but subjects, being subjected to the ruling of one power. We claim that we despise the government and that the government is out to get us, but if you think of what our society would be without a government we would be in total chaos. Sometimes we try to free ourselves from the state, and run, just as Tim O’Brien did in “On the Rainy River.” O’Brien didn’t want to be drafted out to a war in which he didn’t believe in, so instead he dropped his life and ran away; just ran away from facing the government. "My conscience told me to run, but some irrational and powerful force was resisting, like a weight pushing me toward the war. What it came down to, stupidly, was a sense of shame." (O’Brien pg.964) The realization of having to face return and accept the consequences of the government forced O’Brien to acknowledge his fears and return home. He couldn’t escape the government forever. "I survived, but it's not a happy ending. I was a coward. I went to the war." (O’Brien pg.973)…
