This document provides an overview of the key concepts in the POL 205 course on the US bureaucracy. It discusses Max Weber's principles of bureaucracy, the three main functions of the US bureaucracy as implementation, regulation, and adjudication. It also outlines how political influences have shaped the bureaucracy historically from the spoils system to civil service reforms and key laws that have expanded bureaucratic powers like the Interstate Commerce Act and Federal Reserve Act.

History of federal conflict of interest standardsKathleen Clark
History of the federal conflict of interest standard, from its 1863 enactment through Kennedy era recodification and 1989 change exempting the President & Vice-President.
Our 5th Impact Forum was held on September 14, 2016 at Civic Hall, NYC's foremost center for civic technology & innovation, on the topic of Elections. Election Systems are best understood by the rules and incentives constructed around them. Evaluating the United States’ and New York’s Electoral Systems reveals a series of important policy choices that will shape what our electorate will look like in the coming decades. Impact Elections will dig into key question such as: How does money predict elections? How will technology shape voting of the future? Does the current voting system fundamentally fail certain segments of our country's population? What can voting systems from other nations tell us about options for change?
Impact Experts composing the panel at Elections included: Ann Ravel (Federal Elections Commissioner), Gustavo Rivera (New York State Senator), James Bopp (Plaintiff's Attorney for Citizens United v. FEC), Richard Briffault (Professor, Columbia Law School), the legal advisor to Stephen Colbert's Presidential Campaign, the President of the NYC Campaign Finance Board, and more.

BUSINESS AND THE CONSTITUTION
A federal statute and related regulations prohibited producers of beer from listing, on a product label, the alcohol content of the beer in the container on which the label appeared. The regulation existed because the U.S. government believed that if alcohol content could be disclosed on labels, certain producers of beer might begin marketing their brand as having a higher alcohol content than competing beers. The government was concerned that “strength wars” among producers could then develop, that consumers would seek out beers with higher alcohol content, and that adverse public health consequences would follow. Because it wished to include alcohol content information on container labels for its beers, Coors Brewing Co. filed suit against the United States government and asked the court to rule that the statute and regulations violated Coors's constitutional right to freedom of speech.
Consider the following questions as you read Chapter 3:
On which provision in the U.S. Constitution was Coors relying in its challenge of the statute and regulations?
Does a corporation such as Coors possess the same constitutional right to freedom of speech possessed by an individual human being, or does the government have greater latitude to restrict the content of a corporation's speech?
The alcohol content disclosures that Coors wished to make with regard to its product would be classified as commercial speech. Does commercial speech receive the same degree of constitutional protection that political or other noncommercial speech receives?
Which party—Coors or the federal government—won the case, and why?
Do producers and other sellers of alcoholic beverages have, in connection with the sale of their products, special ethical obligations that sellers of other products might not have? If so, what are those obligations and why do they exist?
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After studying this chapter, you should be able to:
1 Describe the role of courts in interpreting constitutions and in determining whether statutes or other government actions are constitutional.
2 Explain the key role of the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause in authorizing action by Congress.
3 Describe the incorporation doctrine's role in making most guarantees of the Bill of Rights operate to protect persons not only against certain federal government actions but also against certain state and local government actions.
4 Explain the differences among the means-ends tests used by courts when the constitutionality of government action is being determined (strict scrutiny, intermediate scrutiny, and rational basis).
5 Describe the differences between noncommercial speech and commercial speech and the respective levels of First Amendment protection they receive.
Page 56 6 Explain the difference between procedural due process and substantive due process.
7 Identify the instances when an Equal Protection Clause–based challenge to government a.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
