UK Politics: The Reform Acts By 1800 Britain was one of only two non-absolutist regimes in Europe (the other being France), though this was good for the people it was not sufficient for the common man. Britain’s electoral system was very unfair and led to an oligarchy of rule by the top one percent of the nation’s wealthiest aristocrats, or as Gregory King calls them ‘the better sort’.

Our flag separates the

United Nations Thesis The United Nations is not the answer to all of the world's problems; however, there are too many acts against humanity to be ignored.

The Patriot Act The only thing more disgusting than the terror that occurred on September 11, 2001, was the public reaction to it, and, more specifically President Bush’s abuse of public and international goodwill and his new policies as a result. After the “honeymoon” period when this entire country seemed to come together with a common goal and with all differences put aside, the media

Vice-presidency INTRO-THE VICE PRESIDENCY John Nance Garner disparagingly quipped, “ [it] wasn’t worth a pitcher of warm spit.” Charles Dawes reciprocated his successors’ denigration by sniping, “This is a hell of a job.

The Confederate Flag Controversy Living in this diversified country, the one thing that everyone has in common is the fact that we all live under the American Flag. It symbolizes that this is the land of the free, and represents a part of this country’s history just as the Confederate Flag does.

US Invasion Of Iraq When analyzing events in history, it is fairly easy to draw upon the different political perspectives when looking at the causes.

Politics was a very foreign concept to me
