History of U.S Government

The U.S government is based on ideas of limited governments, including national rights, popular sovereignty, republicanism and social contract. Limited government is the belief that the government should have certain restrictions in order to protect the individual rights and civil liberties of citizens.

In 1776, the Second Constitutional Congress issued the declaration of Independence, stating their specific grievances with the British monarchy and why they were going to create a separate government. The framers decided to create a limited government based on ideas of natural rights, popular sovereignty, republicanism and the social contract. We can see some of these ideas in the foundational documents of the U.S. , including the declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The U.S have been holding on these democratic ideas for more than 250 years. 

After the colonies decided to separate from the British monarchy, the framers had to develop a system a government that would gain the support of all the Patriots. So they agreed on a system of limited government.

The main discussion in the declaration of Independence was that the British monarchy violated the natural rights of the American people. Natural rights, sometimes also called unalienable rights, are rights that framers believed all people are born with and can never give up. 

For the government to protect the natural rights of U.S citizens, people would have to see the government as an authority they must respect. They would have to enter into a social contract with each other, stating that U.S society as a whole would agree to give up some freedoms to be protected by the federal government. 

U.S Federal Government and State Government

The government of the United states is persistently changing from the time the country was born. Till today, there have been many generations and nations that have emerged over the years. The U.S federal government and state and all the local governments have a phase for change from 1781 to the present time in which their associations were continuously changing.

For a person to understand the different epochs of U.S governmental history, and individual first needs to understand the records between the federal government and state and local governments. The body of law of the U.S initiates a straight tie-up between the state governments and congress. So congress is given the power to declare war and create armies. The U.s charter also forbids states from carrying-out acts that would undermine the federal government, like; making treaties, coining money and making war. The state government has the power to create/destroy local governments.

as each level of government deals with the others, there are clear dissimilarity in the stages of interactions that happens. The seperate stages of government is the U.S have some thing known as formal meetings: national to state, state to national, concurrent powers and state to local.

The interaction of the seperate stages of government is dependent on the scheme of federalism. Federalism comes from the subjective that there are 2 levels of government that synchronize in one nation. The U.S has been through various periods of federalism, which involve dual federalism, co-operative federalism, picket-fence federalism and conflicted federalism. Each stage have typical attribute and can be seen in different time frames of U.S history.

As the U.S government developed through many changes over the flight path of history, the government still remains based on a federal system in which powers are divided among national, state and local governments. The federal system recognized that the U.S is a large and diverse nation, so by having state and local governments we can represent the diversity. The U.S government will always keep on changing, and as it changes the way in which it is governed will change slightly with the birth of new recommendations.

Republicans pressure IRS to audit more Americans making as little as $20,000 per year

On December 12, 2018, the Daily Kos staff published an article by Walter Einekel titled, "Republicans pressure IRS to audit more Americans making as little as $20,000 per year"

It stated that, the main job of the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) is to act as a collection agency. And as any normal agency does, it is tasked to making sure that the monies coming and going are legally accounted for.

The most important survey that the IRS can follow on Americans and companies is supposed to be a process by which the IRS keeps the people and the companies "direct" about paying their proper amount of taxes. Generally, the IRS examines people and institutions with the prospective of lying or hiding about how much of their personal earnings belong to all of us for the country. Since long, like many government departments, the IRS has been cripple and governed to take it relatively easy on the people with the most money.

The EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit) has been a part of our nation's tax codes in one way or the other since the mid-1970s. The whole idea of this came from the talk on what should be done about the poverty in the country for a well developed and wealthy country like U.S. we aren't supposed to squeeze water from stone, specially when we have many individuals and companies overflowing with profits. The major proportion of individuals claiming the EITC earn around $20,000 per annum- and relatively they are plausible to be examined by the IRS compared to the ones making 20 times as much. Pro Publica explains the reasons for a few things.

Firstly, the cuts in the budget of IRS's collection structure have restricted the agency's ability to catch potentially more elaborate tax avoidance exercises. Secondly, the Republicans have been shoving their current chauvinist and classists attacks on unlawful government spending solely on the backs of people making the least amount of income.

generally, individuals making $20,000 or less do not have the time and the earnings to address the investigation from the IRS. And they are prone to lose their survey because they do not have the legit portrayal one need to show their valid assert.

In Risky Shift, Trump and G.O.P. Directly Assail Kavanaugh's Accuser

On October 3, 2018, the New York Times published an article by Peter Baker titled, "In Risky Shift, Trump and G.O.P. Directly assail Kavanaugh's Accuser.

It stated that, President trump resisted to directly attack the woman whose sexual allegation has jeopardized his supreme court nomination. One adviser even puts it like, the accuser had to be treated like a "faberge egg". But it was not long until president could resist and had to talk with the aides and turn up the heat. So he revved up a political rally this week mocking Christine Blasey ford.

It has been noted that, Dr. Blasey, has accused Judge kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers. As well as, a statement from her former boyfriend says that, she had not been fully truthful in her testimony before the Senate judiciary Committee last week. It is noted that further, 3 undecided Republican senators have insisted that Dr. Blasey's allegations should be taken seriously. The voting on the same will begin on Friday and it is expected to hold a final vote on over the weekend.

As well as, some of the president's strongest supporters called his attack on Dr. Blasey counterproductive. Mr. Graham even made a statement saying that he would tell the president, "knock it off, you're not helping". It also mentions that, a more aggressive attack on Dr. Blasey's credibility came after Democrats had spent alot of time picking apart Judge kavanaugh's testimony, looking for contractions to undercut his denials that he ever mistreated women while drunk in high school and college.

In certain events people have conveyed their thoughts saying that the president was attacking Dr. Blasey. But his counselor insisted that Mr. Trump was not attacking Dr. Blasey. She has also conveyed that they are treating her like a faberge egg.

After looking at all the statements and evidences, Mr. Bonjean have said, "What really matters for the deciding senators is whether there is real evidence or corroboration that a sexual assault actually accured".

Making Tariffs Corrupt Again

On September 20, 2018, the New York Times published an article by Paul Krugman titled Making Tariffs Corrupt Again. Paul Krugman is an Opinion Columnist. In this article he is giving his opinion on how Trump has perverted the process and undermined U.S. credibility. 

Trump's tariffs on a Chinese goods and many other goods are a big, bad deal. Their direct economic impact will be modest, although hardly trivial. His policy has almost, torn rules that America created almost 80 years ago. We can conclude that trump is making tariffs corrupt again. And the damage will be lasting. Since Trump imposed tariffs on U.S. imports claiming that the tax is for foreigners, but, it's actually a tax hike on America. The tariffs rate set to rise as high as 25%. We can also say and believe that political favoritism is running wild.
