Number of words: 679 - Number of pages: 3.... where guns were widely available and cities where they were not; in cities with fewer firearms, armed robbers simply used other weapons.(5)The best available evidence, based on at least eight national surveys of the general adult population, indicates that guns are used about as often for defensive as for criminal purposes.6 The experience of other nations also provides little support for the notion that guns cause crime.(7) Switzerland has one of the lowest murder rates in the world, and it requires all able-bodied males between the ages of 20 and 50 to have a military-issued automatic wea .....

James Madison's Federalist 45
Number of words: 403 - Number of pages: 2.... in todays government as the local sovereigns
can speak more for their smaller population whereas the larger governmental
bodies cant speak as well for the people as the smaller ones were able to
do. Therefore, the federal government cannot have power over the states
because the states have a larger voice directly from the people, that is,
it is more directly a democratic branch of government.
It is also true that the state governments are a necessary part of
the federal government, but what Madison fails to mention is that this is
true the other way around as well. Just as the states can .....

Opposing The Death Penalty
Number of words: 1094 - Number of pages: 4.... thing. Criminals are painlessly put to
sleep, and die in the same manner that Dr. Kavorkian's patients choose.
Personally, if I was faced with the option of living the remainder of my life in
isolation, perpetually haunted by pain and images of terror, I would absolutely
