Dual Executive/President
Number of Words: 1214 / Number of Pages: 5
... the idea of a dual executive is rooted in the concept of a
plural executive. Back in the time of the writing of the Constitution, some
anti-federalists wanted a weak executive. This weak executive was called a
plural executive or an executive council. (Storing 49) The purpose of such a
plural executive was not only to weaken the executive, but also to prevent a

monarchy.”(Storing 93) Yet today the threat of monarchy is laughable.

Number of Words: 1556 / Number of Pages: 6
... It said that if a person consumed 80 to 100 cups of coffee in a day you could go into convulsions and die.

Moreover the number of teens smoke occasionally jumped to 27.8% in 1994
from 22% in 1991.
Clinton's program includes Prohibition of sales to minors. Canada has

... and promote life’ (The Gospel of Life, Paul II). In order to do this, one must carry out God’s plan of procreation with love and intentions to multiply. By having an abortion, one is doing the exact opposite. Not only are they killing an innocent human being, but they are killing a child of God.

Paul II goes on to explain how human life is ‘sacred and inviolable’. Life is sacred because it is a gift from God and man was created in the image of God. God overlooks our ...

... government will match them
dollar for dollar. Reform has been successful in the fact that it minimizes
some fat cat buying his or her own pet politician, but it also takes away from
the parties, provides an advantage to wealthy challengers, gives advantages to
candidates with high ideological appeal, penalizes those who start late in the
