    The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified on July 9th, 1868. It helped grant citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States (Primary Documents in American History).” One of the reasons the amendment was made to help former slaves become citizens after the civil war. They were being denied the right to become citizens after slavery had been abolished. One of the main points in the Amendment was that states can not denounce land, freedom or life from any person or citizen in the United States without a trial. Birthright Citizenship was another major part, as it stated that any person born in the US, a US territory or a US military base or was born abroad to an American citizen who has lived at least 5 years in the US, automatically became a citizen. People who are under oath from another country cannot be in office for any position. The Fourteenth Amendment covers a diverse range of subjects, as it has been cited the most out of any…

    Firstly, one benefit to democracy that public participation in the presidential nomination process gives is that a wider range of candidates are able to take part, including those not part of the Washington establishment. For example, in 1968 there were just five presidential candidates to choose from, three Democrats and two Republicans. In 2008, there were 15 candidates, eight Democrats and seven Republicans. Furthermore, evidence that the process has opened up to outsiders include politicians who initially did not have a national reputation, such as Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. This highlights the idea that without this kind of presidential nomination process that is in place, some of Americas most successful presidents would have never come into the fold of a previously covert process. In addition, this prevents tyranny of the majority as a wider range of candidates has resulted in those from minority positions in society to leading roles in US society. This is particularly the case with Barack Obama.…

    The election system for a president and a vice president in the United States of America depends on only 538 persons who are members of the Electoral College system. Technically, the Electoral College members , called Electors, have the right to choose the president and the vice president with their decisions. In spite of making their own decisions, the Electoral College members who are voted by people in their states use the results of popular votes in their states to make conclusions in choosing for the president and the vice president. Moreover, It is important to make sure that people who are going to choose the USA’s leaders have enough knowledge of the candidates’ dispositions and backgrounds that they can make good decisions. In contrast, the result of an election sometimes does not reflect the vote of the vast majority of the people in the nation. From my point of view, the Electoral College should be abolished and the result form the citizens popular vote should be used to elect a president and a vice president of the people.…

    The Founding Fathers “would be horrified by the modern presidential campaign [process]” is the common thread that John Dickerson used when he wrote "How to Measure for a President" (Dickerson). The article explains the different injustices committed in today’s process of picking the leader of the free world as well as outlining the different things we can do as voters to improve the process so we can be assured that the man (or woman) we chose for the “job” is the best fit.…

    If the founding fathers were able to visit the modern day senate they would find they still are guided by the fundamental legislative process they designed in 1787. However, the founding fathers would be unaccustomed to how present day incumbents and nominee challengers run campaigns for election and reelection. They would question what does it take to build a successful campaign to draw in today’s voter. New Hampshire 2016’s senate race aligns with Samuel L. Popkins The Candidate, and the idea of a successful presidential campaign. There are three actions Popkins discusses that are applicable to not only presidential races success but, senate races as well. If a Senator can effectively utilize these three actions of creating a public identity,…

    Democratic Campaign

    The most important part of an election is arguably the campaign process. Once a candidate is nominated in a presidential election, the next step is to move forward with the steps of this process. Each of the candidates will have the opportunity to use recourses, no matter how scarce they may be, to attempt to overcome their opponent with votes. Running a campaign is something that takes a lot of responsibility and a good team of people. They will have first put together a campaign strategy where a detailed comprehensive plan will be put into action including details such as slogans, candidate's position on issues, personal appearances and more. To be completely successful a candidate's team must be able to get media coverage, raise important funds, be highly involved in social media, research the opponent, get America's views, and persuade them to vote. Nearly half of a budget for a political campaign is spent on television advertising. The ultimate goal is to reach the people and send out a message that gives the American people something to believe in.…

    I personally believe that we need to change the way we elect our president. It is outdated, unfair, and unconstitutional. It is unjust, and it needs to be changed. If this goes on, a President may be elected that doesn’t really know what they’re doing and mess up a lot of things. For example, the U.S.A.’s debt, starting wars we as America cannot finish, or even letting unfair or unconstitutional laws are passed. I believe if we change the way we elect our president in a sort of direct vote, it would be a very good way of election. This lets us, we the people, directly decide our president. It is a good alternative to do and I think the sooner we do this, the better our country will strengthen. If we do make this a new way to elect our president it would be a much better way, the President will be elected by popular vote!…
