1. On The Day Of President Trump’S Inauguration, Time Reporter
On the day of President Trump's Inauguration, Time reporter Zeke Miller wrote that a bust of Martin
Luther King Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office. He retracted the statement a few minutes
later and apologized for making a mistake. Miller's apology was ignored by many, including
President Trump. A day later, in a speech given to the CIA, President Trump accused Miller of false
reporting. "So Zeke, Zeke from Time magazine writes this story about 'I took down' – I would never
do that because I have great respect for Dr. Martin Luther King. But this is how dishonest the media
is." By accusing Miller of false reporting, President Trump was accusing the reporter of spreading

For instance, only weeks before election day, it was reported that Clinton was part of a child sex
trafficking ring run out of a Washington D.C. pizza restaurant. This became known as "Pizzagate"
on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Quickly, the story moved from
social media to mainstream television and print media, especially when Clinton was required to
respond to questions regarding the story. According to Angie Holand in an article entitled
"PolitiFact's 2016 Lie of the Year: Fake News," Clinton "emboldened her detractors and turned off
undecided voters with a lawyerly parsing of facts that left many feeling that she was lying."
Pizzagate is only one example of a story not based on fact that Clinton was called to address. While
the story was clearly fiction, it gave people who were already suspicious of her another reason to
doubt her character to be president of the United States. The Trump campaign was also the subject
of fake news. A viral tweet sent from an election rally claimed that thousands of Trump supporters
were chanting racist messages. The tweet read, "I am at a Trump rally in Manhattan, and thousands
are chanting 'We hate Muslims, we hate blacks, we want our great country back'. Disgusting." This

3. The Political Leadership For Ending The Drug War
There hasn't been any real political leadership for ending the drug war from either of the major
political parties. The Republican Party is the most ardent supporter of the drug war, yet it contradicts
some of its main principles. In fact, it's difficult to name another political issue, other than the
legalization of drugs, which would better accomplish the party's goals for reducing government
spending while benefitting the private sector. The Republican Party has somehow successfully
attached itself to the drug war while selling fears of "big government" and "the nanny state."
Republicans tout the virtues of free markets, yet they apparently don't feel those same virtues apply
to a free society. As Gore Vidal once stated, they prefer "laissez faire" economics over "laissez faire"
values. In addition, the Republican Party is generally the most vocal with supporting states' rights in
hopes of reducing wasteful federal government spending, except in the case where states have
legalized medical or recreational marijuana.
Very few within the Democratic Party have displayed the political courage to challenge the drug war
even though most of their political base would support them. In fact, many Democrats have used the
drug war as a political bargaining chip. Some others have even used the drug war to try to "out–
conservative" the conservatives. That was exactly the case with the Clinton administration. Many

Presidential Elections
Introduction
The presidential elections of United States of America take an indirect form where citizens of the
U.S who are registered as voters in one of the states in U.S which are usually 50 states, or the
District of Columbia, cast ballots for Electoral College members, referred to as electors. These
electors then in turn cast direct votes known as electoral votes in their respective state capitals for
president and vice president positions of the United States. Each states casts as many electoral votes
that is equal to the number of its Senators and representatives in Congress, while in Washington,
D.C. they cast the same number of electoral votes as the least represented state, which is three. The
day when registered voters cast their ballots is called the Election Day. This paper is going to
generally discuss the presidential elections history, an outline of the process of the process of
presidential elections, constitutional requirements for presidential candidates in the U.S, presidential
nominations, general elections campaigning, Electoral College and lastly inauguration.
To begin with, the founding fathers of the United States came up with a democratic system in which
the American people had the power and responsibility to choose their leader, unlike Britain where
leadership was monarchical. George Washington was the first president of the United States of
America to be elected under this new order, which

7. Rhetorical Analysis Of Donald Trump
Donald Trump has brought a revolution to the realm of politics that has left the nation buzzing since
he was elected. In a style that was basically unheard of, Trump dove into the world of politics by
shooting for the highest office in the land, and he succeeded. Nobody saw it coming, but it
happened, and rhetoric was an essential part of his campaign, as it is with any politician. In his
inaugural address this January, Trump used the three types of rhetorical appeals in an effective
attempt to excite the country about the future.
The first aspect of this speech to analyze is the author. To many of the people who voted for
President Trump, part of his appeal is that he is an outsider to Washington. He is set apart from the
other candidates by the fact that he was never a politician before, and he is not ingrained in the back
scratching and pressuring of other politicians. Another trait of Mr. Trump is that he is not afraid to
say what is on his mind. It shows to his supporters that he is likely to actually do what he says he
will do, and not cower under the pressure of the media and his opponents. This is an aspect that
showed throughout his campaign and continued into his inaugural address as he did not hold back
from pointing out the failings of the previous administration.
Arguably the most important part of any piece of rhetoric is the audience because they are the ones
that need to be convinced and motivated. The inaugural address is directed toward the whole
country, but there was an immediate audience in front of Mr. Trump. I would expect that the
majority of the audience were people who voted for him. By continuing the same language and
ideas that he put forth during his campaign, with the same spirit of patriotism and a can–do attitude,
the president was effective in reaching his audience. A piece of the speech that I found especially
interesting was the following: "And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the
windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same
dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same Almighty Creator." In this single
sentence, Mr. Trump appeals to a huge portion of the country by

9. The Jacksonian Era Of Democracy
During and prior to the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, the American political system saw the
formation of political parties as the republic began to mature. Nevertheless, most Americans did not
participate in the elections due to property restrictions to voting. Up until 1828, the states chose the
presidential candidates through popular votes. Originally, measures such as the Electoral College
and state representatives, put in place in the 1700s, functioned to limit participation in the
democratic process in order to prevent excessive influence by ordinary people. This changed,
however, with advent of the Jacksonian era of democracy. The son of Scottish–Irish immigrant
farmers, Andrew Jackson's ascension to power marked a change in American ... Show more content

Rapid changes in the Northwest and Old Northwest, due to transportation improvements and
immigration, led to the urbanization of cities and the formation of boomtowns that sprung up near
major roads, railroads, or canals that trafficked interstate commerce. This, in turn, caused a shift
from the previous notion of personal dependence equating property ownership to the notions of
individualism and the promotion of the 'self–made' man. A product of the market revolution, a new
separation of class emerged as the division of wealth polarized between upper, middle and lower
classes. With the entrance of more urbanized citizens enter the labor force in factories, labor unions
began to form as a means for frustrated workers to raise their voices against inequality. These labor
movements likewise entered political debates and formed parties in order to promote their causes.
Conversely, not everyone benefitted from the revolution as many restrictions disallowed nonwhites
from engaging in the economic opportunity. Still others, mortgaged farmers, non–plantation owners,
and tenants, grew weary of the possibility of the dependency that would ensue from the revolution.
To answer these concerns, some states abolished property requirements in the hopes of promoting
the egalitarian movement between the wealthy and the growing middle and lower

11. The Electoral College Is A Privilege Of A Democratic Society
Voting to elect government officials is a privilege of a democratic society. Every four years, in one
of the most important events in U.S politics, millions of American citizens exercise their voting
power by casting a ballot for a presidential candidate. However, these millions of cast votes elect a
small group of state representatives known as the Electoral College, not the president of the United
States. Under the current voting system the power to elect the president is solely the responsibility
of the Electoral College not the people. Although the Electoral College has a rich history, it is an
outdated voting system and should be replaced by National Popular Vote. This method electing the
American president has been in practice since the eighteenth century. Two years after Americans
gained independence from the British, representatives from twelve of the thirteen original states
gathered in Philadelphia to write the U.S. Constitution. During that era, the states essentially
operated as separate republics and moreover its own legislative governing bodies. The goal of the
document was to establish a strong central government without diminishing state rights (Ross 21).
After extensive debate and compromise, the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1788, thereby
establishing the three branches of government with executive power granted to the office of
president. However, how should the president be elected? Representatives debated three options: a

were faced with many hard decisions that would have repercussions for the next two centuries. One
of the most perplexing problems facing them was the question of how to elect a president. They had
to choose from three main systems: elect the president by congress, the people, or electors. There

Some people think that the system would work better if all the states were required to use the same
method of choosing electors, but the constitution protects the states rights in this case.
The legislative system never gained very much support because of too much bargaining, promises,
and payoffs. The district system eventually lost popularity because it encourages third parties, which
went against the wishes of the forefathers. This left the general ticket system in the drivers seat. This
system turned the electors into 538 of the most powerful people in the country. There are two states
that still use the district system, but the remaining 48 states use the general ticket system ("Electoral
College I" 256). The voter votes for either the president or the party that they wish to hold office, but
this can cause a problem if there is an unfaithful elector. Electors are expected to follow the people's
will by voting for candidates winning the popular election in that state. Electors that do not vote for
what they are expected to vote for are considered faithless or unfaithful electors. 26 states do not

John F. Kennedy was sworn in as the 35th president of the United States of America on January 20,
1961. He was only 43 when he was sworn into office, the youngest president ever elected. Kennedy
ran against Richard Nixon, the Republican nominated candidate. Nixon made it a large point in
mudslinging during the presidential campaign to point out Kennedy's young age. Kennedy had to
prove, not only to Nixon, but the rest of the country, that he was capable of being the commander in
chief of one of the most powerful nations. His first spoken words after being sworn in were
extremely influential. In JFK's inaugural speech he addresses more than just his fellow Americans,
but citizens of the world. He outlines the changing tensions of the world and how it is in the hands
of the people to keep things at peace. Kennedy states, "The torch has been passed to a new
generation of Americans..." (1), a bold and powerful statement, showing his confidence to lead. His
inauguration was supposed to set a spark of renewal and change. JFK wanted to take advantage of
this spark and call Americans to action, unite them and the rest of the world, as one group of people.
One can see an example of ethos in the opening of the speech. Kennedy states that his presidential

29. Race Relations Speech
On January 10th, 2017, Barack Obama – the 44th President of the United States – gave his farewell
speech in the nontraditional city of Chicago, Illinois. Out of the many brilliant quotes drawn from
his speech, one really catered to a phenomena sweeping the nation at this very moment in time: race
relations. On that brisk Tuesday evening, Obama claimed that "...race relations are better today. All
of us have more work to do in the area of race relations. Hearts must change to stop discrimination."
As a country, we have made substantial progress and are at a good point in terms of race relations;
however, there is still much ground to cover to fulfill the dreams of American heroes like Obama or
Martin Luther King Jr.: peace and equality. Race relations in America have not been – and may not
ever be – as ideal as we desire, but if we seek to mobilize and continue fighting, equality may finally
come into the framework of America.
The issue of racial superiority/inferiority began nearly 400 years ago; in the year 1619, the first
African American indentured servant was brought to what is now America. Even after slavery was
abolished; with legislation – The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and The Voting Rights Act of 1965 – and
Supreme Court rulings – Brown v. Board of Education (1954) – passed to help African–Americans
appreciate the many rights they'd deserved, it would appear that America was moving toward an era
of unprecedented progressiveness ("African American History Timeline"). Finally, with the election
of Barack Obama, it seemed that the goal of the African American community had finally been
achieved: after years of persistent oppression, we finally have representation at the highest power.
While this seemed to be the case with his initial election, we slowly came to see that Obama's
representation may not have been as effective as we anticipated.
With the election of Barack Hussein Obama, our nation's first African–American president, a sense
of liberation swept across the African–American community, as they finally have someone in power

"North and South Korea, which have technically been at war for the last 65 years, are again acting

all started when there was an explosive from landmines "in the DMZ, which is the sort of de facto
border that separates North and South Korea, which injured two South Korean soldiers that the
South has blamed on North Korea but, of course, North Korea has not apologized for." (npr.org)
That angered South Korea which lead them to start anti–North propaganda broadcasting through
loudspeakers. Consequently, both sides have been arguing at the DMZ. Then, everything was settled
when both sides made an agreement; however, no one really knows what Kim Jong Un will do. As a
result, the United States are hesitant, so the "top U.S. commanders reviewed the U.S. war plan for
defending South Korea in case there was a sudden indication that North Korea was going to begin a
war." (cnn.com) They are on the watch for movement for activation of air defences and artilleries.
Currently, South Korea is low on missionary materials to fight North Korea, so South Korea is going
to need the U.S.'s help. North Korea has half a million more armed forces, 10,000 more artillery
pieces, a thousand more tanks, and etc. This can be very dangerous for South Korea if North attacks.

William Howard Taft served one term as the 27th President of the United States from 1909 until
1913. While he is perhaps best known for his plump figure and the embarrassing bathtub incident he
endured while in the White House, Taft is also the only person in United States history to have held
both the offices of President and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Prior to securing the
Republican Party's presidential nomination and subsequently winning election in 1908, Taft served
in various judicial and executive roles in the government, including as a judge on the U.S. Sixth
Circuit Court of Appeals, civilian governor of the Philippines, and Secretary of War under President
Theodore Roosevelt. While Taft came into office hoping to pass audacious legislative reform, his
reluctant approach to pushing his agenda through Congress, as well as his below–average political
acumen, significantly hindered his capacity to affect meaningful change throughout his time in
office. Secretary Taft ran in the presidential election of 1908 as President Theodore Roosevelt's
handpicked successor and protector of his legacy. Due to the tremendous popularity and support of
President Roosevelt and because he had significant control and influence over the Republican
National Committee power structure, Taft did not face any legitimate opposition in the primaries,

43. Super Pacs : The New Kind Of Committee That Operates...
Brianna Goodman
Proliferated in 2010, Super PACs have played an immensely influential role in the outcomes of
elections and collective action. Super PACs are a new kind of committee that operates politically. As
reported by opensecrets.org, Super PACs acquire any amount of donated money in a phenomenon
that aggregates towards a fund "to advocate for or against political candidates and must report their
donors to the Federal Election Commission on a monthly or quarterly basis". They are not allowed
to give the money to the political candidates, campaigns, or parties explicitly. However, Super PACs
can contribute to the outcome of an election by paying for ads that are in support of the candidate
that they want to take office, or spend ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Interested in learning about what takes place behind the scenes of a Super PAC? Well, here is the
story of the Presidential election of 2012 from my perspective: as a Director of IT operations of the
"Priorities USAAction" Super PAC.
The Priorities USAAction Super PAC is the largest liberal Super PAC. We raised $79,050,419
during Obama's campaign for re–election. We spent most of the money opposing the Republican
candidate Mitt Romney in 2012. The position of Director of IT operations was a huge step in my
career path, having just gotten out of an internship and right out of college. I was psyched to have
been given such a great opportunity, and I was not going to let the Super PAC down. I worked long
and hard with the rest of the Super Pac to produce advertisements for television stations, and worked
with several social media outlets in order to advertise for President Barack Obama and against Mitt
Romney
Some say that Super PACs are immoral and unjust; however, Super PACs abide by the First
Amendment. In the Supreme court case "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission", it was
decided that the government is not legally allowed to prohibit the expenditures for political
campaigns; as long as they are not corrupt and are not lying to the general public or affluent
attributes about where the money is really going i.e. their own pockets or towards another or

Names such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, E.B. DuBois, and Malcolm X are all brought to
mind when discussing the struggles that African Americans have been involved in since the 1800s.
All of these people were significant speakers who heavily influenced Americans of all skin colors.
Maya Angelou is similar to those great black leaders in the way she influences others. Angelou's
contributions to American literature is superlative. She fought racism, segregation, and sexism
without losing her optimism, thus, making her a true woman of inspiration.
Maya Angelou grew up in a small, segregated town in the deep South where she had to learn to deal
with racial hatred. Angelou was originally born as Marguerite Johnson in Saint Louis, Missouri, on
April 4, 1928. When Angelou was three and her older brother, Bailey, was four, her parents sent
them off to live with their father's mother in the rural town of Stamps, Arkansas. Angelou's parents
were never truly happy around one another. So, her father "decided to put an end to their calamitous
marriage, and [he]shipped Maya and Bailey home to his mother" (Angelou 6) Angelou does not
remember most of her trip, but once they reached the deep South, things started to look up. "Negro
passengers, who always traveled with loaded lunch boxes, felt sorry for 'the poor little motherless
darlings' and plied Maya and her brother with cold fried chicken and potato salad" (Angelou 6).
Throughout all of her work, Angelou

With the surge of controversy surrounding the recent election, the United States has rekindled the
Electoral College debate. However, this isn't the first time that a tight election has resulted in unclear
or contested results. Nor is it the first time the Electoral College has made a president out of the
popular vote loser. In the over two hundred years since its construction, the Electoral College has
demonstrated its shortcomings with more than its share of mishaps. Is this system a tribute to
democracy and the brilliance of its creators or is it an archaic tradition that should be eliminated?

Whichever candidate wins the popular vote in a particular state wins all of its electoral votes. Due to
changes in population, the number of representatives for each state changes every ten years with the
new census results. And, consequently, so does the distribution of the electoral votes. This year, five
hundred thirty eight votes were apportioned to the fifty states and DC, making the magic number
two hundred seventy. Whichever candidate hits two hundred seventy votes wins the presidency.
So just who are these electors? Electors are actual people selected for each election that vote
according to the states popular vote. They are typically political party loyalists or individuals that
have some affiliation with the candidates. And how are they chosen? Parties nominate electors at
their state party conventions or by a vote of the party's central committee in the state. An elector
could really be anyone. Only a few regulations are outlined in the constitution as to who cannot be
an elector. Obviously, they can't be Senators or Representatives. Interestingly, there is no federal law
or constitutional provision that mandates electors to vote as they pledged. Only twenty–four of the
fifty states require their electors to vote in accordance with the states popular vote. And, of these,
only five states actually have penalties for failure to do so. These penalties are mediocre at

Obama's vision that forms the basis of his signatures instead of policies. Furthermore, I suppose
there are two critical ideas behind Obama's encouragement of a cosmopolitan civil religion that
Frank should explicate. First, the address's theme can be succinctly expressed as harnessing strength
from America's common history. Beyond simply an advocacy for unity, Obama has the intention to
motivate a collective call–to–action in response to the detrimental 2008 Global Financial Crisis
(Allen and Carletti, 2009), and to preserve social stability by mitigating prevailing distrust against
Muslims due to September 11 attacks (Mcmorris, 2010). Calling for unity is in fact a springboard to
motivate a collective call–to–action. Obama mentions, "we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and
the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that
there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a
difficult task". Next, bringing citizens together has a role at the inaugural ceremony itself. As

The inaugural address and the other documents have parts in common. As the tone and style all were
written. They all are based around John F. Kennedy and the way he was portrayed in this nation. The
documents that were used were his inauguration address,Inside Kennedy's Inauguration and a photo
of JFK Inauguration. The documents and photos all concluded that JFK was seen as a great
president and only wanted to move the country forward to the future.
The first document JFK talks about on how he will move the country forward with him in place. The
document included a lot of style and rhetorical devices. For example he used Anastrophe when he
said "This much we pledge, and more" to emphasise his contribution with everyone else. John F.
Kennedy was seen a president for the people and they appraised him for it. He uses lots of rhetorical
devices to his message across. It makes him sound like a true president for the people as in he wants
to help out the community rather than just to do business. One of the other examples in this
document was when he states "and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power
by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside." was used as a metaphor. This example showed John
F. Kennedy feelings to those who choose to side with a communist way of ruling a country. When he

The United States Election Process With the 2016 presidential election on its way, with two of the
most polarizing candidates ever. And one who shared that if he loses then the "System is rigged".
With Congressional approval rating at 17%, politics in the U.S appears rotten. Which is what the
freackanomics episode I listened to, "10 ways to make politics less rotten" was about. But how may
know how the U.S election cycle actually works? The process can be quite complicated and
confusing at times. So it is understandable why many may not know how it works.
Step 1: Requirements
To run for President of The United States you must first meet the requirements set for in Article Two
of the US Constitution. This Article states that to serve as President you must be a natural born
citizen of the US and be at least 35 years old. You must also be a resident of the United States for
over 14 years. This candidate doesn't have to meet these requirements prior to running but must
meet them by Inauguration Day. What is not mentioned in the requirements, is the amount of funds
it takes to run for President. It can cost up to hundreds of millions of dollars to fully fund a
Presidential campaign run. This reason alone is what limits so many third party candidates for
President. Only billionaires such as Ross Perot can have some success running this way.

established it as a resolution between president choice by a vote in congress and choice of the
president by qualified citizens' popular vote. 538 electors constituted the Electoral College and 270
majorities of electoral votes choose the president. The United States got its independence from Great
Britain, and its government based on the Articles of Confederation (Burgan 9). According to Burgan,
under the article, the states acted almost like separate nations (9). It is well–known that the United
States president becomes elected by Electoral College and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

The system also maintains the nations' federal character since combinations of even small states
opinions receives attention. A small portion of a very populous state cannot overshadow the
minority. The status of the minority is enhanced as they influence critical edge for candidates to
emerge victorious. Contestants get encouraged to venture into minorities through the system and not
ignore them. The College also eliminates most election problems. According to Bugh, the system
essentially assigns to the winner the votes of the people who voted against that candidate (159). He
continues that because there is no way to total votes across states, the votes for candidates who do
not win a state do not have a role in the outcome of elections (159). In–case of recounts, it occurs
only in states and not nationwide. I believe the college encourages stability via the two–party system
where regional minorities are not undermined.
The intention for the design of Electoral College appeared to choose a person that demonstrates both
popular support and a broad distribution of support. This goal becomes an achievement over the past
decades. Some critics think that voting power of smaller states gets overrepresented. They fail to

Argumentative Synthesis
President Barack Hussein Obama was the forty fourth president elected into office in 2008 and the
first United States president, under the constitution, of African descent. He has worked his way up
from the Illinois State Senate to the US Senate then officially sworn in as president on January 20,
2009. Considering his background in politics, logically, he should be a responsible, trustworthy
candidate for president yet that does not stand for his mentality of how to run a country.He has
portrayed himself as a person of significance by supporting the same sex marriage law, preventing
the unnecessary travel of oil and petroleum, and fighting for paid leave for company employees;
nevertheless, he has caused grief to appear in the families of war participants. Conversely, pre
presidency, Obama promised to end the war of American troops fighting in Afghanistan in the year
2014, he promised to direct revenues from oil drills to increase coastal protection, he also promised
to become a person who unites the American people; however, has this so called "president" kept
any of those promises or have they long been abandoned? As Barack Obama 's second term comes

67. Donald Trump Speech Analysis
Politicians are notorious for skilled uses of rhetoric. Donald Trump is no different. From his debate
speeches, to his Inaugural address, Trump demonstrated mastery of rhetoric time and time again.
With a passionate, emotional voice, Trump wrote an American–centered political address that was
broadcasted to millions of Americans across the country. In order for his people to believe he would
benefit the country, Trump knew he had to make an impact in their heads, and in their hearts, and he
knew using deep emotions would be the key to capturing both.
Donald Trump. Devoted father. Husband. Wildly successful, skilled businessman. President of the
United States. Trump builds his argument of ethos simply by his name. When people hear his name,
they think of an unbelievably successful man with wit, business smarts, and excellent leadership
capabilities. If Trump can successfully manage an entire empire of hotels, country clubs, and golf
courses, it seems logical that he would appeal to millions of Americans during his presidential race.
If he could accomplish all that, he should be able to successfully lead the free world. Turns out,
people thought exactly that.
Trump appeals to the people using the argument of pathos, or emotion, throughout his entire
Inaugural address. "We, the citizens of America, are now joined..."(Bannon and Miller, 2017, para.

New College Compact or College for All Act? The 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries
and caucuses are a series of ongoing heated battles between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
One of the most prominent topic is the issue of student debt.
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, student loans have quadrupled since 2004, to
$1.2 trillion (Brown). This insurmountable debt is an astronomical problem for Americans today and
more so, for future Americans. College tuition has been rising for the past 40 years and will continue
to do so exponentially. In an asset management report done by J.P.Morgan in 2014, the firm projects
the cost of private universities to be at roughly $90,000, and $40,000 for public four–year
universities in the year of 2030 (Badkar). If the government remains dormant toward this issue,
college students 20 years from now, will be burdened with an even larger amount of debt.
The average American's financial ability and confidence are being crushed by this mountain of
student debt. In turn, more and more people are not able to purchase their own house or start their
own business due to the pressure of paying back their overwhelming student loans. Likewise, many

Progressives shared a lot of similar goals and objectives. They especially came in whenever the
democratic reforms failed. For instance, where an accepted appeal can be voted into law, referendum
which involved the review of the proposed laws or direct election of senators instead of using the
normal method of legislation. Progressives always recorded success in pushing of reforms into laws.
The explanation for this could be attributed to the high level of education that the progressives hard,
consequently being more influential. The initiatives that they pushed became triumphant than the

intent was not to transform the legislation of government, but to create a fair approach in dealing
