ESSA Rhetorical Analysis

The vast power of the federal government has been on the rise, crippling the state’s authority. In the early 1800’s there have been cases where the Supreme Court has ruled, for the most part, in the federal government’s benefit. With the Legislative and Judicial Branches making up 2/3 of the federal government’s power, many could speculate the two powers are working to strengthen the federal government. However, the ruling was based off of Necessary and Proper Clause, where it is said that Congress (Legislative Branch) has the authority “to find the great powers, to lay and collect taxes; to borrow money; to regulate commerce; and to declare and conduct a war.” When the states interfere it causes the Judicial Branch to step in and decide what

Henry Clay led the nationalistic Jeffersonian economic agenda. This agenda was known as the American System (Holt, 1999). It included high protective tariffs to nourish American manufacturing, create a home market for American agricultural products, a national bank to provide a currency and federal subsidization of internal improvement projects to ease the movement of goods (Holt, 1999). These nationalistic Jeffersons would eventually push through Congress and the current President at the time (President Madison) would sign laws that affected two parts of their program. The Federalist Party diminished after 1815 and many former Federalists embraced the Republican Party.

The author, Hua Hsu, believes the end of white America was put on a national spotlight when Obama was elected president, which is on the heels of the news of the majority minority switch that is supposed to take place in 2042. This switch would bring the relevancy of W.E.B Dubois, a civil rights activist, prediction of the problem of the twentieth century would be the color line, the race identification society asserts on individuals (Hsu 1).

His ascendancy illustrates the problem of how we identify individuals and whether America will blur the boundary of race, where people are confined by the identity of race.

When George W. Bush was proposing to congress why the Department of Homeland Security needed to formally become a government department he explained that, “The President proposes to create a new Department of Homeland Security, the most significant transformation of the U.S. government in over half-century by largely transforming and realigning the current confusing patchwork of government activities into a single department whose primary mission is to protect our homeland. The creation of a Department of Homeland Security is one more key step in the President’s national strategy for homeland security” (Bush “The Department” 1). In 2002 the Department of Homeland Security formally became a department of government after congress passed the Homeland Security Act (Homeland Security – Creation of the department of Homeland Security). The Homeland Security Act of 2002 states that, “the primary mission of the Department is to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism, and to minimize the damage, and assist in the recovery, from terrorist attacks that do occur

The Proclamation Line and the Louisiana Purchase The Proclamation Line and the Louisiana Purchase are two important happenings in the history of the United States of America including how westward expansion affected the country’s economy. While the Proclamation Line sought to stop the conflicts between the colonist and the Native Americans, the Louisiana Purchased has doubled the territory of America, and such purchase became the defining moment of Thomas Jefferson’s Presidency.

The past history for Americans convey the idea of despotism and tyranny by the government. Therefore, Sullivan utilize the idea of American’s past to justify the idea of expansion for the reason that Sullivan wants to persuade Americans that the expansion to the west would build a renovated and great nation. Moreover, Sullivan illustrates the idea of a new government that will bring equality and freedom that Americans did not have under the control of the Mother Land, Great Britain. Sullivan demonstrates this idea in his work when he writes “On the contrary, our nation birth was the beginning of a new history, the formation and progress of an untried political system, which separates us form the past and connects us with the future only; and

In his novel The Making of the President 1960, Theodore H. White uses the “great federal census” to establish just how critical the changes in the American public demographic were to the election of the president. White considers the census of 1960 to be a marker of a new frontier in American culture and lifestyle, discussing how the move of Americans to suburbia and the growth of minority groups changed political affiliations. The 1960 census allows the reader to see exactly what circumstances in American society allowed for the seemingly impossible election of Kennedy to occur. White begins by discussing the population growth at the time the census was taken.

After the installation of Chief Justice John Marshall who “used his dominance to strengthen the court 's position and advance the policies he favored” (Baum 20). However, in the decision of the landmark case of Marbury v. Madison in 1803 was an example of the power he exuded “in which the Court struck down a Federal statute for the first time” (Baum 20). This created some internal conflict between Marshall and President Thomas Jefferson, however Marshall was able to diffuse this with

Some of the heads of states felt a transformation of the political to that of federalism-where central government is leading the states was completely essential. Ultimately the Articles of confederation would need to be changed (History.com Staff, 2009). After the American Revolution there was a lot of concern over what rights each state should have.

Politically, Washington and the entire country were going through significant social and political changes.

Trump, to modify the Affordable Care Act put into place by the previous president Barack Obama. Many Republican leaders are pushing to give states more control over health insurance programs, much like President Reagan intended to do in 1981. The Republican National Committee has its sights set on lowering the amount of people on federal programs such as Medicaid and other health benefits. The Affordable Care Act created by the federal government under the Obama Administration provided an example of “dual federalism.” The federal law proposed that every state was required to expand Medicaid but gave states their own decision to bow out of the arrangement.

The populist leaders of Latin American countries fought vigorously against the strong-headed elites and foreign countries who had the power, wealth, and prestige to undermine populist rule. Populism was a new political tool and movement that was of the people. The leaders had to be charismatic and would often pledge to yield to the concerns of the masses who they wanted support from. Two of those leaders include, Getúlio Vargas and Hugo Chávez whom hold very similar views regarding the working-class masses and the imperialism inflicted upon them by the United States. Despite their similar targeted followers of the working-class, they had contrasting issues of focus they wanted to get across.
