Campaign Finance Reform
[ send me this paper ]
(5pp). In 1974 Congress passed a set of laws that changed the amount of money which could be donated to an individual campaign. Contributions to candidates are now limited to $1,000, per contributor, that's called hard money. But of course many people and organizations, including special interest groups such as defense contractors, the gambling industry, organized labor have more money that they would like to spend on politics than they can get to candidates in $1,000 increments. So they give much larger amounts to advocacy groups, political action committees and the political party. That is called soft money. Not much else has happened in the last 25 years of discussion.

Economic Policies: George W. Bush And Bill Clinton

Fawn M. Brodie's 'Thomas Jefferson : An Intimate History'

A 5 page analysis of 'Thomas Jefferson: an Intimate History' by Fawn M. Brodie. It has always seemed contradictory that the man who wrote that "all men are created equal" was a slave owner, and that it was rumored he had a long-standing sexual relationship with one of his black slaves. Brodie's work does an admirable job of reconciling these discrepancies as she argues that Jefferson's actions made sense in the context of his own time and were consistent with his own philosophy.

FDR's "Splendid Deception" and its Motivations
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing FDR's efforts in hiding his paralysis from the American public in relation to Smith's views of public and private behavior. Critics of laissez-faire economics claim that the stance is hard and uncaring, that government needs to do more for the people it governs.

Roosevelt is used here to illustrate those levels and then proclaim that while FDR operated from all three levels, it was Level 3, the most altruistic, that could most frequently describe his behavior as related to his disability.

Franklin Pierce, America's 14th President

An 11 page paper discussing the administration and background of the 14th President. Franklin Pierce was not a bad president, but neither was he an exceptionally good one. He set off to plot a course for the country that he believed would be beneficial, but the expansion to which Pierce was dedicated succeeded only in inflaming calls for war. Though he believed he was taking the nation forward, in reality he was taking it forward into civil war. His personal life was tragic, and it appears he chose not to see the tragedy of the Civil War toward which his policies took the country.

In Defense Of Bill Clinton And His Pardons
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Upholding the office of United States Presidents inherently affords one the opportunity to wield certain power privileges as supported by the Constitution. One of these advantage, according to Article II, Section II of this historical document, is that the president shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. That other politicians or even the general public did not support some of the people who have been pardoned through the years did not matter; rather, the President of the United States possesses the sole discretion of who is pardoned and how many are pardoned regardless of outside opinion.

Need for Affiliation - The desire to establish and maintain friendly and warm relations with others. 3. Need for Power - The desire to control others, to influence their behavior, or to be responsible for others." Bill Clinton is used as the case study for these motivational theories.

Presidential Slogans and Campaigns
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages. Presidential campaign slogans began with the election of Andrew Jackson in 1828 and his nickname 'Old Hickory.' While visual media did not create that campaign at the time, today we find that the media has more and more to do with the creation of certain slogans and images within presidential campaigns. Much like advertising, these slogans help keep an image in the public eye, and by bombarding us with this image over and over, it is hoped that we will become impacted by this image to the exclusion of all others. This type of advertising ploy is used in everything from products to political campaigns, but the emphasis in this paper is on the presidential campaigns, particularly those on campaigns since 1960. A comparison of several campaigns is included in this interesting outlook, as well as how a campaign slogan can oftentimes be the tiebreaker in the mind of a voter. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

This would indicate that the minus president fell below, what was normal for the office and the positive president moved above what was "normal" for the office. Although some of the "measuring" has also been determined by what history has given each of these men as a political stage, or the events that occurred while they were in office, I tried to look for qualities that would show how they reacted to the events that they were given.

Richard Nixon And Watergate: Turning Point
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. Watergate proved to be the most significant turning point in the life of America's thirty-seventh president, Richard M. Nixon, as well as one of the significant turning points in American politics, as well. The scandal that took place in 1972 at Washington, D.C.'s Watergate apartment and office complex became the president's worst nightmare, inasmuch as he was caught virtually red-handed as the primary conspirator in the Democratic National Committee headquarters break-in. This infamous occurrence sparked an investigation that uncovered secretly made audio tapes of conversations that Nixon had with several top-positioned government employees attempting to secure Nixon's re-election by illegally – and unethically – infiltrating the opposition's home office. Indeed, Nixon's world came crashing down when the investigative trail lead directly to his authorization of such damning activity; it would take two years after this discovery for the president to resign in order to avoid being impeached.

Teddy Roosevelt and the Progressive Movement
[ send me this paper ]
(10 pp) Progressives were a loosely knit group of activists, who occasionally even seemed opposed to each other. According to Schulz (2000), while not opposed to capitalism as a concept they did want to change the relationship of labor to business. Immigration was viewed as a "problem." Some felt the solution was the "Americanization" of immigrants; others felt immigration should be restricted by legislation. Private utilities and transportation methods should have some regulations; others felt the government should straighten out "the whole mess." Political reform was a necessity. Could it be done, by eliminating the "political machine," or were there other solutions? We might say that during this time the country was beginning to "re-think" itself, and looked for a leader who could either provide answers or guidance. Teddy Roosevelt was just the guy for the job!
