This document outlines a game where each branch of the U.S. government (Executive, Legislative, Judicial) will attempt to gain more power by identifying scenarios where another branch has overstepped its constitutional bounds. Players on each branch must cite the specific Article, Section, and Clause of the Constitution that would prohibit the other branch's action. Three scenarios are provided for each round that involve actions by the President, Congress, or Courts. The goal is for the branches to check each other's power through constitutional interpretation.

It also outlines the presidency, requirements to be president, powers and duties of the president. Finally, it discusses the judicial branch and powers granted to federal courts.
Legislative Powers
Congress has both expressed and implied powers according to the Constitution. Expressed powers are explicitly listed, while implied powers are reasonably deduced from expressed powers. There has been debate over whether to interpret Congressional powers strictly, limiting them to only those absolutely necessary, or more liberally. Over time, the national government's power has expanded beyond what even liberal interpreters envisioned through broad interpretations of implied powers like the Necessary and Proper Clause. Congress has the power to tax, borrow money, regulate commerce, declare war, and more according to the Constitution.

The document examines the principles of popular sovereignty, separation of powers, checks and balances, limited government, and federalism that are fundamental to the Constitution's design.
Legislative

The Radical Republican's Wade-Davis Bill required 50% loyalty and banned slavery in new state constitutions. Andrew Johnson's Presidential Reconstruction was more lenient, requiring loyalty oaths but allowing discrimination against freed slaves through Black Codes. This prompted the Radical Republicans to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and propose the 14th Amendment guaranteeing citizenship and equal protection. They also placed the South under military rule and passed the 15th Amendment banning racial restrictions on voting.

Judicial branch 2016
The document discusses the formation and structure of the US Judicial Branch. It notes that Article III of the Constitution created the Supreme Court and gave Congress power to establish lower courts. The Judiciary Act of 1789 then formed the basic judicial structure still used today. The Supreme Court has 9 justices appointed for life who can only be removed through impeachment. Judicial Review, established in Marbury v. Madison, gave the Supreme Court the power to determine the constitutionality of laws and assert itself as an equal branch of government by interpreting the vague Article III. This interpretation has been used in thousands of cases since 1803 to define the Judicial Branch's role.

2014 marxism powerpoint
- Marxism is a political, economic, and sociological theory developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that focuses on class conflict between the bourgeoisie and proletariat as the driving force behind history.
- Under capitalism, the bourgeoisie own the means of production and exploit the proletariat, who must sell their labor for wages. This causes the proletariat to experience alienation and false consciousness until they develop class consciousness and overthrow the bourgeoisie in a communist revolution.
- After overthrowing the capitalists, the proletariat would establish a temporary dictatorship before creating a true communist society without social classes where people share according to their abilities and needs.
