Franklin Pierce, America's 14th President
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing the
administration and background of the 14th President. Franklin Pierce was not a bad president,
but neither was he an exceptionally good one. He set off to plot a course for the country that
he believed would be beneficial, but the expansion to which Pierce was dedicated succeeded
only in inflaming calls for war. Though he believed he was taking the nation forward, in reality
he was taking it forward into civil war. His personal life was tragic, and it appears he chose
not to see the tragedy of the Civil War toward which his policies took the country. Most
personal details are from the 1852 account of friend Nathaniel Hawthorne. Bibliography lists 9
sources.

George W. Bush: An Imperial President
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Defining the relationship that exists between political power and wartime policies is a task that draws its conclusion upon a very fine line. Indeed, while both of these entities have something significant to do with one another, at the same time they each possess their own particular arrangement amidst the wide and varied scheme of bureaucratic function. It can readily be argued that policy needs the combination of power and government in order to enact any level of politics; however, it can also be contended that there does not necessarily have to exist any sort of democratic considerations as a means by which to operate that government. Examining the elements that have brought George W. Bush's presidency to the level of imperial power at which it now resides helps one to gain a significantly better perspective upon what powers Congress upholds under the Constitution and what authority it has relinquished to the Executive Branch. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
