Marbury V. Madison Powerpoint
Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review in the United States. The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional and that the Supreme Court has the power to strike down laws that are incompatible with the Constitution. This established the Supreme Court's role in determining the constitutionality of laws and enhanced the judiciary's independence from the other branches of government.
Politic parties e qs
The document discusses the history and development of the two-party system in the United States. It traces the rise of the current Democratic and Republican parties from early divisions between Federalists and Anti-Federalists.

Different countries have various party systems, ranging from dominant, non-partisan, and single-party, to two-party and multi-party systems. The Democrats and Republicans differ in their policy platforms, with Democrats generally more liberal and Republicans more conservative. Political parties are organized at the national, state, and local levels through elections. Political machines and corruption, like Tammany Hall, have led to reforms checking party power. Candidates
The Supreme Court
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States established by the Constitution. It has nine justices including one Chief Justice. The Court has the power of judicial review established in Marbury v. Madison in 1803, which allows it to decide on the constitutionality of laws and acts of government. Marbury v. Madison was a pivotal case that established the Court's ability to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional. It involved William Marbury suing after not receiving his judicial commission from President John Adams. The Court's decision in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 allowed racial segregation under the doctrine of "separate but equal" and led to discriminatory Jim Crow laws, but it was eventually overturned by Brown v. Board

This document discusses recent Supreme Court rulings on Arizona's SB-1070 immigration law and the Affordable Care Act. It argues that the federal courts did not have proper constitutional authority to hear these cases, as Article III specifies that the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases where a state is a party. The document cites comments from the framers like Jefferson and Madison indicating that allowing other courts or Congress to determine jurisdiction undermines the constitutional framework. It provides detailed responses arguing that neither Congress nor the Supreme Court itself was granted power by the Constitution to assign these types of cases involving states to lower courts rather than the Supreme Court exercising original jurisdiction as specified.

Essay 4 ArgumentBackgroundIn 2014, President Barack Obama .docx
Essay 4: Argument
Background:
In 2014, President Barack Obama signed 12 executive orders directing various agencies in the departments of State, Justice, and Homeland Security to refrain from deporting some 4 million adult immigrants illegally present in the United States if they are the parents of children born here or legally present here, and if they hold a job, obtain a high-school diploma or its equivalent, pay taxes, and stay out of prison. However, for the president Congress had rejected the conditions he established for avoiding deportation. In response to the executive orders, 26 states and the House of Representatives sued the president and the recipients of the orders, seeking to prevent them from being enforced. The States and the House argued that the president effectively rewrote the immigration laws and changed the standards for the deportation of unlawfully present adult immigrants.
The states also argued that because federal law requires them to offer the same safety net of social services for those illegally present as they do for those lawfully present, the financial burden that the enforcement of those orders would put upon them would be far beyond their budgetary limits. Moreover, they argued, enforcement of the president’s orders would effectively constitute a presidential command to the states to spend their own tax dollars against their wishes, and the president lacks the power to do that. In reply, the president argued that the literal enforcement of the law creates an impossible conundrum for him. He does not want to deport the parents of American children, as that destroys families and impairs the welfare of children, and he cannot deport children who were born here, as they are American citizens. The case was filed in Texas, where a federal district court judge agreed with the states and signed an order that prohibited the feds from enforcing the president’s orders, pending a full trial. The feds appealed.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit in New Orleans upheld the injunction against the president. In so doing, it agreed with the states that the financial burden on them that would come from the enforcement of these executive orders would be unconstitutional. It also agreed with the House of Representatives that the president exceeded his authority under the Constitution and effectively rewrote the laws. In early April 2016, the Supreme Court heard the feds’ appeal. Because the seat formerly occupied by the late Justice Antonin Scalia for 30 years is still vacant, the court has just eight justices -- for the most part, four conservatives and four liberals. A tie vote in the court, which appears likely in this case, will not set any precedent, but it will retain the injunction against the president.
Andrew P. Napolitano, a former judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey, says that the most recent time this happened was 1952, when the court enjoined President Harry Truman from seizing steel mills during ...

Powers of the Supreme Court
There are a number of Supreme Court cases that have significantly impacted law and public policy. As you progress through the course, you will review many of these cases. For this Discussion, you are asked to consider the significance of the
Marbury v. Madison
case.
In the presidential election of 1800, Thomas Jefferson defeated the incumbent president, John Adams, a Federalist. Before John Adams left office, he appointed judges and justices of the peace for the District of Columbia who also were Federalists. All of the appointments for the new judges and justices of the peace were approved in a mass Senate hearing. However, four of the justices of the peace did not receive their commissions before John Adams’ presidency was over. One of these justices of the peace, William Marbury, petitioned the Supreme Court to force James Madison, the new Secretary of State under Jefferson, to deliver his commission. Marbury cited the Judiciary Act of 1789 which gave the Supreme Court the power to take such an action. In the end, Chief Justice John Marshall of the Supreme Court declared that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional and then denied Marbury’s petition.
This decision was the first time in history that the Supreme Court deemed a legislative act to be unconstitutional. As a direct result of the case, the concept of judicial review was established and the checks and balances of the U.S. Government were further defined.
2-a brief explanation of the Supreme Court’s role in policy making. Then describe two strengths and two limitations of the Supreme Court’s role in policy making.
Role of the Supreme Court in Policy Making
While the U.S. Supreme Court is extremely powerful, theoretically, it is not able to create law or public policy in the way that Congress or the President does. However, the Supreme Court is able to review public policies or laws that are disputed and determine their constitutionality. Supreme Court justices must determine which cases or disputes to hear and then determine if the laws or policies in such cases are constitutional. If they rule that the laws or policies are unconstitutional, they make recommendations about how the laws or policies should be changed or adapted. In this way, the Supreme Court engages in policy making.

MP 3 Review
The document is a review of key information about the US government including the structure of Congress, qualifications for office, powers of the president and Congress, civil service reforms, and protections in the Bill of Rights. It covers topics such as the bicameral legislature, implied powers, eminent domain, presidential veto, civil service act, and freedoms of speech, press, and due process under the Constitution.
final sections of judicial branch
The document discusses the power of the federal courts in the United States. It notes that courts can make policy decisions by reinterpreting laws and the Constitution in significant ways. More than 160 laws have been declared unconstitutional by courts using the principle of stare decisis. The kinds of remedies imposed by courts, such as judicial orders, have expanded the reach of courts' power beyond individual cases. Views on judicial activism both support and oppose courts correcting injustices or becoming unelected legislators. Limits on judicial power and activism include stare decisis, constitutional and statutory law, actions by other branches of government, and public opinion.
Section 4 & 5 of the Judicial Branch
The document discusses the development of the federal court system in the United States. It describes how the founders assumed judicial review but did not explicitly state it. It then outlines three key stages in the development of the federal courts: 1) 1787-1865, where the Supreme Court asserted national supremacy over state law; 2) 1865-1937, where the Court sought to protect private property but also allowed some regulation of business; and 3) 1936-present, where the Court became more deferential to government regulation of the economy but sought to protect civil liberties. The document also briefly describes the structure of the federal courts and their jurisdictions.
Section 3 of the Judicial Branch
1) There are three steps for a case to reach the Supreme Court: four justices must agree to hear the case, a writ of certiorari is issued to bring the case before the Court, and the case is scheduled for a hearing.
2) The Supreme Court rejects over 96% of applications for review. Those who wish to appeal a case must pay $300 and file copies of their petition.
3) Parties must have standing to bring a case, meaning they must show they were directly harmed by the law or action they are challenging.
AP Executive Branch Test
The document outlines topics related to presidential powers and the executive branch, including what the president can do alone, with the Senate, and with Congress as a whole.

Bureaucracy
A bureaucracy is a large, complex organization composed of appointed officials that handle the everyday business of an organization based on hierarchical authority, job specialization, and formalized rules. The American bureaucracy is distinctive because political authority is shared, most agencies share functions with state/local counterparts, and there has been growth in defining and defending personal rights. Bureaucracies are subject to oversight from Congress and the public and face issues like red tape, conflicts between agencies, and a tendency to grow without considering costs or benefits. Reforms aim to make bureaucracies more efficient and customer-focused.
Chapter 15, VA and US Government
The document provides an overview of the federal bureaucracy in the United States. It describes the bureaucracy as a large administrative structure that handles the everyday operations of the government. It operates through a hierarchical structure with specialized jobs and formal rules. The executive branch is composed of numerous executive departments and independent agencies, which carry out various tasks and regulatory functions. The civil service system works to staff these government agencies with qualified employees in a merit-based system.
Chapter 14, VA and US Government
The document discusses the growth of presidential power in the United States over time. It explains that presidents have accumulated more authority due to factors like the need for decisive emergency action and the increasing complexity of the economy and technology. Congress has also strengthened the presidency on various occasions. The core executive powers of the president outlined in the document include enforcing the law, appointing officials, conducting diplomacy and commanding the military, as well as certain legislative functions like proposing laws and vetoing bills. Critics argue some presidents have become too isolated and unaccountable in their use of executive authority.
Chapter 13, VA and US Government
The document outlines the many roles and responsibilities of the U.S. President, including as chief of state, chief executive, chief administrator, chief diplomat, commander-in-chief, chief legislator, chief of party, and chief citizen. It also discusses the presidential succession line and qualifications for the presidency. The vice presidency is described as generally an unimportant position. The selection process for president involves primaries, conventions, and the electoral college, which some argue against due to the possibility of someone winning the popular vote but losing the electoral college.
Section 7 of the Executive Branch
The document discusses the power of the US presidency over time. It lists 7 reasons for the growth of presidential power, including champions prevailing for a stronger presidency, providing national unity, demands for central government role, need for emergency action, expanded national government powers, use of mass media, and an international world. It also discusses arguments for both a weak and strong presidency, citing examples from various administrations to support each view.
Section 6 of the Executive Branch Unit
The document outlines the various powers of the presidency under the US Constitution. It discusses the president's powers as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, to appoint officials, make treaties, issue executive orders, and grant pardons. It also examines how presidential power has expanded over time through interpreting laws and the president's role in foreign policy and national security decisions. Congress has given the president broad authority to use military force without declaring war since World War II.
Sections 4 and 5 of the Executive Branch Unit
The document discusses the evolution of the presidency from its early years to modern times. It describes the debates around how the president should be elected and the compromise of the electoral college. It also outlines different structures of the White House office that presidents have adopted and the various councils and offices that comprise the Executive Office of the Presidency, such as the National Security Council and Office of Management and Budget.
Section 1 of the Executive Branch Unit
The document discusses the Executive Branch and the Office of the President. It outlines the formal qualifications to be President, including being at least 35 years old, a natural born citizen, and having lived in the US for at least 14 years. It also discusses the presidential term, succession, and characteristics of those usually elected. The Vice President's role is also examined, along with the presidential succession act and amendments regarding presidential disability.
MP2 Review for VA and US Government
The document provides information about the US legislative branch including:
1) There are three reasons for a bicameral legislature - the British model, to settle conflicts between small and large states, and for each house to check the other.
2) The President rarely calls special sessions as Congress is nearly always in session.
3) There are 435 seats in the House of Representatives which holds elections every two years in even numbered years.

Review for Legislative Branch Test
This document lists various topics related to the legislative branch of government that one should review for an upcoming test, including the seniority system in Congress, congressional oversight, checks and balances involving the legislative branch, the relationship between the president and Congress, elections and committees in the House of Representatives, and notable legislation passed by Congress.
Legislative Committees
Committees are used in Congress to divide up legislative work, as Congress receives around 10,000 bills per year. Most legislative work is done in committees, which are comprised mostly of the majority party. Committee chairs are the most senior member of the majority party on the committee. They determine the committee's agenda and manage floor debates. There are several types of committees, including standing committees that consider specific subject matter areas, select committees for specific purposes, and joint committees with members from both the House and Senate.
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.
