The Pros And Cons Of The European Union

778 Words4 Pages

After WWII the European nations had many problems; they didn’t have any official peace treaties, and their suffering economies made them more susceptible to war. In order to prevent war and the spread of communism, they created the EU which united the European nations in a powerful democracy, which countries must have a stable democracy, a strong economy, and protection in order to join. Laws in the EU are created by a legislature made up of three groups of a leader of a small country and the leader of a big country each body has a president. However the laws aren’t enforced by military or police forces, but there is a Court of Justice that upholds the laws. Today there is a debate of whether or not the EU is worth it. The EU nations are benefitted more than they are the cost because it makes the nations more economically competitive or successful, it provides peace and security for nations in the union, and creates diversity between countries and makes countries more tolerant of other nations.

  • The Pros And Cons Of The Great Compromise

    The main reason why the Framers didn’t succeed in their final compromise is because it was too difficult to make all the delegates (who were basically competing) agree with each other, so numerous issues were ignored and most plans were severely compromised. An example of this is the debate between larger and smaller states over their representation in the newly proposed Senate. Two solutions were significantly favored: the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan. The smaller states were in favor of the New Jersey Plan, which would enforce each state to send the same number of representatives to Congress. The larger states supported the Virginia Plan, which called for each state to have a different number of representatives based on the state’s population.

When a president is unpopular, members of Congress will have little incentive to pass his preferred legislation, since doing so will potentially have negative consequences for them (i.e. not winning reelection). It is also important that the president be a competent negotiator if he is to get his agenda passed.
