Differences Between Alexander H. and Thomas J. Ap Us History (Fvs)
Alexander Hamilton
React to the following statement:
Individual rights are more important than the wishes of the majority. I think that the majority has a point, because this is a democracy. It is based on the majority vote. This country is not based on what a single person wants.

Citing the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution, Congress has decided to make a national system of education. What are your feelings about this? I think this is an excellent idea. All people should be able to get an education.

What group of people do you consider to be the backbone of American society—wealthy businessmen or farmers? Why? The Farmers: they are what America is all about. Hard Work and then rewards.

How do you feel about the creation of a National Bank? Explain. I am the first secretary of the Treasury. I have created the back. I agree with the need for a bank.

Which European nation should America have as its closest ally? Why? France: They helped us in the Revolution, so why shouldn't they be our closest ally.

    The Main reason for vetoing the bank was that the bank had too much power given by lawmakers. They practically could control the economy. They had the power to take down businesses by not giving them loans. The wholes system is wrong and not fit for the common men of America. I argued that it was unconstitutional because it will only lead to a monopoly to the investors that own about 80% of the…

    Skokie vs Collin

    I disagree with this stance because if the court denies Frank Collin and the NSPA the right to march, than the court is not granting more attention and political power to them, it is simply following the rules established in the constitution. The NSPA could not use this court ruling against the United States to appeal the decision even further. This ruling would be consistent with all other forms of hate that were denied the freedom of expression. The marches, which were to take place, were certainly in the wrong place at the wrong time and in the wrong manner to promote general welfare and ensure domestic tranquility.…

    Think more about that - isn't the majority's benefit trumping whatever else minority may think the cornerstone of our favorite and concept of such a long time now - that precious and treasured democracy that is so often presented as the ultimate goal of human societal structure. Which, unlike what so many high school students are taught, is not the power of the people. It is the power of majority, their needs and wishes, to trump the wishes and needs of minority by the power of vote. Because we have known and accepted…

    The hardest part about standing up for one’s rights is that everyone else may agree with the government’s prejudiced beliefs. Society is often guilty for persecuting entire races, sexes, and nationalities; it’s not just their leaders. Inequality is so common that it can be witnessed daily. Individuals should still try to abolish these ideas no matter the consequences or how hard it may be. The United States of America has a declaration of independence that…

    I feel the government should print the money we have for currency instead of a localized central bank. Expanding this thought I feel a good government should run a currency on a good equal standard not credit and paper that has no backing or I like to call “Invisible Money”. While it is nice to have global presence as well as the strength that America has I feel there has to be a line where we sit back and take care of our own country and stop worrying about other countries. I feel a good government should incorporate the “people” more from the simple joe to the powerful rich banker. A Presidential election for example seems to be ran more on money then it is the purpose of what the election is for. I feel a good government should keep to their word when they are running for office or promise to do things, they should, should they get into office.…

    As long we judge the idea of the Tea Party to be held true, and that every bill to be considered should do so according to our Constitution. We can must submit to this idea, as it is predisposed tend true according to the Letter of Transmittal to the President of Congress from our first President, George Washington. “It is obviously impracticable in the Federal Government of these States to secure all rights of independent sovereignty to each, and yet provide for the interest and safety of all. Individuals entering into society must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest” Washington, G. (17/Sept/1787) This portion of our rights we have freely given to the person that we voted into the Senate or the House of Representatives, may he or she be a Republican or Democrat, or other to vote our voice.…

    In conclusion, I definitely agree with Henslin’s statement on page 418. The education system in America is one that is flawed, but deeply engrained into our culture. Due to this, it would be extremely difficult to fix the inequality in funding in schools across the country, as well as designing a curriculum that prepares kids for real life…
