The Korean War & Truman’s Seizure Of US
Steel Mills : A 25 page research paper. The 1952 Supreme Court case of Youngstown
Sheet & Tube Co. v Sawyer 343 U.S. 579 circumscribed the powers of the presidency for
one of the few times in the history of the United States. Citing both the fragility of the
national economy and the needs of the fighting troops of the Korean War, President Harry
Truman seized most of the country’s steel mills in an effort to avert a
steelworkers’ strike that could have put troops in active warfare in even more danger
stemming from a lack of necessary machinery and materiel. Strikes were commonplace in 1952
when the Supreme Court determined that Truman had overstepped the bounds provided for the

appears that not all of them were taken into account by the Court. Bibliography lists 9

Stalin's Rule / Leninist Or Otherwise? :
6 pages in length. There have been many changes from the time Stalin took over for Lenin's

that he was greatly influenced by Lenin. In fact, it can be argued that Stalin did not
take over after Lenin's death; rather, he ascended to it by way of taking example from the
late leader's strategy. Many have contended that Lenin groomed Stalin for the position by
establishing a system of learning that enabled Stalin to carry forth a great deal of the
typical daily government business, as well as tend to a number of domestic and foreign
policy issues. However, others assert that as Lenin neared the end, he developed doubts
concerning Stalin's ability to take over such a monumental task. The writer discusses
whether or not Stalin's rule was influenced by Leninism. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Leninist.wps
