He was further becoming as the Prime minister of Italy from 1922 to 1943, after forging the paramilitary movement, which was in 1919. Besides, he led Italy constitutionally until the year 1943. Mussolini further established a dictatorship, after dropping the democracy of pretence. He was an inspirational leader who enthused several totalitarian rulers such as Adolf Hitler. Mussolini advanced the revival of European imperialism in North Africa, by reinforcing Fascism across Europe and most primarily in Italy. Although some leaders wanted to separate themselves from fascism system, their regimes were considered similar to that of Mussolini’s doctrine. However, the political elite members in Spain, such as the army and the Spanish monarchy, further established a new imperialism era in North Africa. This was realized after the creation of Morocco between 1912 and 1956. According to the Fascism believe, the strength of…
Abraham Lincoln Issues Emancipation proclamation In September 1862, US President Abraham Lincoln delivered an opening Emancipation Proclamation which stated that all the slaves who had participated in revolt contrary to the Union should then be freed forever. Lincoln’s declaration only applied to the Confederacy slaves and not those in the bordering states who had remained dedicated to the Union. President Abraham Lincoln was hesitant to declare the Emancipation Proclamation, following the issue of earlier slavery since he feared that bordering slave countries might be tempted to join the Confederacy. As time went by, Lincoln prudently approached the abolition subject, and when he acquired support gained adequate confidence until he fully issued the proposition to Confederates. Abraham Lincoln declared Emancipation Proclamation when the confederates failed to respond to his proposal (History.com Editors, 2019). Besides, the president became hesitant since the proclamation was not defined by the state laws but was just a presidential order. He advocated for antislavery adjustment in the Constitution to warrant its perpetuity. After issuing the proclamation, Lincoln supporting the Confederacy would be seen as supporting slavery; therefore,…
Interpretation of the Amendment in the Bill of Rights The Tenth Amendment The tenth Amendment claims that any power, which is not listed in the US constitution, is either left to people or states. The Tenth Amendment was incorporated into the Bill of Rights to define the power of balance. This is between the states and the federal government. According to the Amendment, the constitution often plays a part in granting powers to the Federal government. Some of these powers include the authority to collect taxes, the supremacy of declaring war and, control of activities in businesses and organizations. However, since the Tenth Amendment has not specified the powers that are not listed in the Constitution, the Supreme Court in the US has set out the ruling, which classifies the laws affecting family relations to be reserved to the people or states. Some of the laws that affect family relationships involve divorce, adoption, and marriage. Moreover, unlike other constitution Amendments that are entirely exposed to ambiguous terms and vagueness, the Tenth Amendment is considered to be precise. The constitution’s broader…
The New York City Government centralized structure The New York City Government has a highly centralized structure that is divided into three branches, namely the Executive, judicial and legislative. The Executive is responsible for all the services in the city and the enforcement of city and state laws. The judiciary consists of the Court Systems in the state. The legislative, on the other hand, is the City Council consisting of 51 elected officials responsible for proposing and revising bills.

The state was faced with the challenge of reducing administrative functions and find a strategy…

Their roles are varied based on the extremes surrounding the police service.

International Trade Agreements Summary In this paper, the author, Dani Rodrik, is concerned with the transformation of trade agreements beyond import tariffs and quotas. The objective of the article was to present an alternative to using trade agreements to neutralize protectionists and instead focusing on agreements that promote rent-seeking-interests, politically well-connected firms as well as multinational firms. While many trade agreements tend to enhance domestic interests, trade agreements suggested in the article could be utilized to promote international interests instead. According to Rodrik, trade agreements can only be viewed as efficiency-enhancing policies if they were focused on eliminating trade restrictions, including quotas and import tariffs. Rodrik criticizes the re4cent trade agreements, including the Trans-Atlantic Trade, Investment Partnership, and Trans-pacific Partnership, claiming that they do not act in favor of free trade agreements. In this article, free trade is perceived as an appropriate medium for promoting technological progress. The author suggests that economists who conflate trade agreements with free trade base their arguments from a political economy perspective that views import-competing interests as the most powerful and dominant tools of…

Compare and contrasts the presidencies of Harding, Coolidge and Hoover During the early 1920s, Americans became increasingly weary from the fighting in World War 1 and they were disillusioned by a failure to create a new world order by President Wilson. As a result of the growing calls for stability popular support for the Republican party’s plans grew since they promised the weary nation a return to normalcy. The republicans stopped promising progressive reforms in operations of the government and instead they their focus shifted to settling into the traditional ways of running the government. In 1920, close to eight years under the authority of a progressive Democrat government, Americans voters decided to elect a conservative Republican government who was to become the first of the decade’s tenure of three republican presidents. The major beneficiaries of the Republican government were big business owners and those who favored isolationism. Harding, Coolidge and Hoover were the three Republican presidents who ruled the US for the decade starting 1920 onwards. In terms of similarities, there are few things that were common for the…
The Outline The need to Abolish Capital Punishment in America Introduction Capital Punishment involves executing offenders. Capital Punishment has raised issues since it seems to discriminate against the poor, minorities, particular races, and religious communities. Thesis Statement: The paper will evaluate the arguments against capital punishment in America. Body Value of human life Human life is considered to be valuable, such that even the worst murders should not be executed. Their bad conduct cannot destroy the offender’s life. Right to live Everyone is subjected to the right to life, and executing offenders violates human rights (Cheatwood, 2015). Execution of Innocent individuals Capital Punishment could lead to the killing of innocent people due to the flaws within the criminal justice system. The innocence project has exonerated many innocent people who were on death sentence, which portrays flaws in the criminal justice system. Retribution is Morally Flawed Retribution seems to be morally flawed, which is problematic to both practice and concept. Retribution is a sanitized form of vengeance, as portrayed by capital Punishment (McDermott, 2001). Capital Punishment is not applied retributively in the…
