RESEARCH PAPER PRESENTATION U.S. GOVERNMENT By: Allen Namoca Pd. 7 INTRODUCTION Prompt: Where should the government “draw the line”? INTRODUCTION Brief History on America and it’s Government: American soil was not identified until the late 1400s; Columbus rediscovered America. INTRODUCTION 10,000 years ago, America was founded by Asiatic explorers. This was due to the Ice Age that occurred 20,000 years ago. These Asiatic explorers came to be known as the Native Americans. INTRODUCTION: AMERICAN REVOLUTION First Main Event prior to creation of an independent nation and a government in America was the American Revolution which occurred in 1763. INTRODUCTION: AMERICAN REVOLUTION The American Revolution’s purpose was to remove British rule over America and its citizens. American people wanted to become part of an independent nation. INTRODUCTION: DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE The Declaration of Independence made that dream of becoming an independent nation come true; with this America was able to break away from British rule. INTRODUCTION: CONSTITUTION During the 1780s the Constitution was made as a basis to the federal government. U.S. became the first/modern national constitutional republic as soon as the government was first formed in 1789. HOW MUCH POWER FOR THE GOVERNMENT? The government’s role changed largely over a long period of time. It distances itself from the people since America became a larger nation (showing the difference from what it was like since the first Thirteen Colonies). HOW MUCH POWER FOR THE GOVERNMENT? Opinion: Government’s jurisdiction should be lesser than it is right now. It’s true role changed over time due to the multiple events that led to the change of the Constitution up until today. One prime factor of how these changes occurred was the Marbury v. Madison Case. FACTORS THAT LED TO THE CHANGE OF THE GOVERNMENT Main events/factors that led to the change of the U.S. Government from beginning to end: •American Revolution •Federal Government (Constitution was the basis) •Main Three Branches of Government – Remained the same ever since it was created. •Government had problems in establishing powers that abides to constitution. •Marbury v. Madison Supreme Court Case. MARBURY V. MADISON Supreme Court case of 1803: Marbury v. Madison Landmark to where Court started its role in reviewing federal legislation to determine whether or not if it was compatible with Constitution. This indicated function of judicial review. MARBURY V. MADISON Secretary of State: James Madison – ordered not to deliver commissions by President Thomas Jefferson to William Marbury. Response of Marbury was to petition Supreme Court a legal order to interrogate and investigate on why Magison didn’t deliver commission. MARBURY V. MADISON Result: Marbury was denied commission due to unconstitutional ways of attempting to resolve the problem. For example: the writ which could not be granted since it was considered unconstitutional. Chief Justice John Marshall gave statement where Supreme Court was not only the interpreter of Constitution. CONSTITUTION Purpose of Constitution: establish Federal Government in U.S. and provide it limited powers to keep it under conrol. CONSTITUTION Constitution states, “We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote general welfare, and secure blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”” CONSTITUTION Purpose of the Constitution tells what the government can and can’t do, regarding on distribution of laws to society and protection of each individuals’ rights. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Government’s essential duties include: •Defending the U.S. from foreign aggression •Representing U.S. interests abroad •Creating and enforcing national laws and regulations •Administering domestic programs and agencies •Workers employed by Federal Government are responsible for enacting and implementing programs and performing services to accomplish them. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Yes the government does provide its services towards the citizens in the U.S.; yet, why are there people that still encounter problems today? Problems like poverty and inability to pay for medical supplies/bills/etc. AMERICAN REVOLUTION The American Revolution stimulated the government of America. Purpose: separate own country from British rule. (Have own government and independence) HOW DOES ALL THIS RELATE TO LESSENING GOVERNMENT POWER? This entire presentation was to show how the government was formed, how it governed people, and how it provided services to people from time to time. The reason why government should have lesser power is because of the fact that it is given the power to help us, yet there are still those who suffer from the fact that they are unable to obtain the simplest essentials where the government mentioned at some point that “the citizens of the United States shall receive the simplest necessities in order to live”. (may have been indirect) LESSER POWER FOR GOVERNMENT Opinion: Government should receive lesser power since it does not actually help citizens when they need help the most. They have power, yet do they do anything that resolves the problem that the citizens encounter, directly? LESSER POWER FOR GOVERNMENT As the nation continues to grow, so will the government continue to grow apart from the people.
