Necessary Compromise in Government.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) The United States Constitution defines the rights of its citizens and the rights of those geographical areas called states. It also defines the structures and the powers of the federal government, and loosely labels the three major areas of government as the executive branch, the legislative branch and the judicial branch. Those who framed that document were well aware of the tendencies of humans to first be moved by their own causes rather than those of the nation, and developed measures that each of the three segments of government would serve as a "check and balance" mechanism against the other. In this discussion we will look at some of the "wish list" items of the current United States president, George W. Bush, see if they are causing conflict, and which factors encourage compromise.
