    Back to Randolph’s Letter he defined necessary to be incidental or in other words may be denominated the natural means of executing a power. In English, that means that something is necessary when the government cannot operate fully without it. Thomas Jefferson said that the congress should not broadly interpret its powers because they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would also be a power to do whatever evil they please. Article I (stated in first paragraph) can be interpreted as a rule for expanding powers. It essentially says that the government can make laws to do its duties when necessary. So necessity from a governmental standpoint is the requirements in order to meet the country’s…

    Preserving life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness has been atop all priorities of the United states of America (United States Constitution, 1776). To maintain this mission, a framework for the organization of the United States Government and it’s relationship to the people was developed. This creation has become the supreme law of the United States. It is known as the Constitution (United States Constitution, 1776). This oldest written Constitution still in use by any nation in the world holds a central place in the United States of America as it used to maintain peace all across the nation (GPO Access, 2010). This document lays foundation on which to build a Democratic Government and keep tyrants at bay while also guiding those who write laws. The Constitution although written to protect the people, has become a weapon of Congress as they have developed a belief that their Governmental superpower allows a Constitutional exemption (Government Rules, 1993). A growing problem in the United States has been the governing powers unconstitutional acts and utter abuse of power. This controversial issue has brought citizens living in the United States to question current government function and more importantly their use of power. This paper will argue that all current systems of government in the United States are guilty of violating the American Constitution and abusing their authoritative power. It will discuss in detail what an abuse of power is, supported by arguments that will indicate that the President, Supreme Court and Congress are responsible for creating unnecessary stress for American citizens. The first argument presented will explain how the controversial act of Warrantless Wiretapping has violated various amendments of the Constitution and disrespected the American people. This paper will also argue that the creation of the no-fly list was an irresponsible abuse of authority. Following…
