Affirmative Action: Opportunities Of Character, Not Color
Number of words: 818 - Number of pages: 3.... minorities will never be given a fair chance at college
unless diversity is forced upon the campus. Proponents also argue that
affirmative action is the best solution to past discrimination and color-
blindness, and that without affirmative action the gaps between our races
will never close.
Although these arguments may have positive aspects such as creating
a multicultural campus, affirmative action's many faults cause more
problems than are solved. The leading problem with these ideas on
affirmative action in colleges is that it has completely failed to
accomplish one of its main .....

Number of words: 945 - Number of pages: 4.... power vested in Congress, the executive power in the president, and the judicial power in the Supreme Court and other federal courts. The legislative branch creates laws, the executive branch enforces the laws, and the judicial branch interprets them ( Janda 72).

Madison states, “ It is equally evident that the members of each department be as little dependent as possible on those of the others…” ( .....

different offer, called a counteroffer, the original offer is terminated. Then
the counteroffer may be accepted by the party making the original offer.
REQUIREMENTS OF A VALID CONTRACT
For a contract to be valid, both parties must give their assent. They must act
in such a way that the other people involved believe their intention is to make
a contract. Thus a person who is clearly not sincere in saying that he or she
accepts an offer usually is not held to a contract by the courts. On the other
hand, a person who secretly has no intention of making a contract bu .....

The Presidential Debates Between Bill Clinton And Dole
Number of words: 721 - Number of pages: 3.... and how
desperate he is getting to resort to such cheesy remarks. The first several
minutes of the debate had Clinton summarizing all that he has done in the past
four years such as 10.5 million more jobs, the Brady Bill, and Family, Medical,
and educational bills. In turn Dole complains that the United States has
stagnant wages, and that 40% of wages are spent on taxes. On the topic of drug

crime decreased as well. Dole soon reacted by saying, rather sarcastically that
drug abuse has doubled and for so much m .....

Capital Punishment History
Number of words: 835 - Number of pages: 4.... in 1869 it was cut down yet again to just

these crimes. These crimes, even today, are still viewed as
violent and should be punished with the highest degree of
discipline available to achieve justice.
After much public pressure, capital punishment was suspended
on a trial run in 1967. This proved to be ineffective, because

murder of law enforcement agents, were still to be subjected to
the death penalty, the federal cabinet continued to commute those
cri .....

Capital Punishment
Number of words: 1039 - Number of pages: 4.... to underage customers was a serious capital
crime (McCuen and Baumgart 21). Rape was also a crime where the criminal was
sentenced to death.
In America, only thirty-seven states authorize the death penalty. In
most of those thirty-seven states, murder is the only capital crime. The
Supreme Court requires that two conditions must be met in order for a specific
murder to warrant the death penalty (Nardo 32). The first condition is that it
must be first degree murder, which is the deliberate and premeditated taking of
life. The second is that one or more aggravating circumstances must .....

The Gap Between The Rich And T
Number of words: 713 - Number of pages: 3.... we grant is not being used adequately. A lot of the money is taken by the governments of the less developed countries, and a great amount of the sum are not being used to the purposes they are meant for. Bribery and corruption are huge problems in developing countries. It makes more sense to dig wells for people who walk for miles every day to get their daily water supply, than to support officials with BMWs and grand houses. The World Bank was established, and a large amound of capital was poured in, despite of the fact that the Third World lacked the level of infrastructure, the economic .....

The Executive Branches Of Governments
Number of words: 462 - Number of pages: 2.... At one time the postal service was an executive department. But the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 transformed it into a government-owned corporation.
