Constitution power point
The Constitution was written between May and September 1787 at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. It replaced the Articles of Confederation and established the structure of the U.S. federal government, dividing powers among legislative, executive, and judicial branches to create a system of checks and balances. Key figures like James Madison were influential in drafting the Constitution, which drew upon principles from documents like the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights.
14th lecture
The American Senate is described as the most powerful second chamber in the world. It was intentionally designed by the framers of the US Constitution to have equal legislative, executive, and financial authority as the House of Representatives. Some of its special powers include approving presidential appointments and treaties. The Senate serves as a check on both the democratic tendencies of the House and potential overreach by the President. It is composed of two senators from each state who are elected to six-year terms, with one-third being elected every two years.
The Formation Of The Bill Of Rights
The document discusses the formation of the Bill of Rights in the United States Constitution. The Anti-Federalists opposed the original Constitution because it did not adequately protect individual rights and gave too much power to the national government. They agreed to support the Constitution on the condition that a list of fundamental rights, known as the Bill of Rights, was added. Congress debated the issue but ultimately approved a list of 10 amendments drafted by a committee. By December 1791, the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, were successfully ratified.
Week 4.3 ratification controversy
The document discusses the ratification debate between Federalists and Anti-Federalists over ratifying the US Constitution. Federalists supported ratification while Anti-Federalists opposed it. A key compromise was the Federalists agreeing to propose a Bill of Rights to gain support. The Constitution was officially ratified in 1788 after being approved by nine of the thirteen states, with New York and Virginia being the most contentious battles and Rhode Island the last state to ratify.
How can the president circumvent congress
Executive orders allow presidents to manage operations within the federal government without congressional approval, though their scope is limited. Presidents since the 1950s generally cite which laws they are acting under when issuing executive orders. Signing statements allow presidents to interpret laws as they are signed, which some view as improperly modifying the meaning Congress intended. Executive agreements allow presidents to make international agreements without Senate ratification, and have been increasingly used, especially during wartime.
13th lecture
The document discusses the organization and powers of Congress in the United States. Congress is the legislative branch of the US government and is made up of two chambers - the Senate and the House of Representatives. Congress has both legislative powers, such as making laws and setting budgets, as well as non-legislative powers like confirming appointments, ratifying treaties, and conducting investigations. Overall, Congress is responsible for deliberating and acting on behalf of the American people to govern the country in accordance with the US Constitution.
9th lecture
The document summarizes key sections of Article I of the US Constitution, which establishes the legislative branch. It describes how Congress is composed of the House of Representatives and Senate. The House is elected every two years by the people and representation is based on population. The Senate has two members from each state who are elected by the state legislature to six-year terms, with one-third being elected every two years.
