Maria Aguirre Professor Nejad May 23, 2014 Question 1 Federalism can best be explained as a set of powers and functions shared between states/provinces and a national-central government. Through powers outlined in the Constitution of the United States of America, the federal system has had a great influence on the life of the people and the means by which the government set forth laws and the execution of those laws.

Maria Aguirre Professor Nejad June 4, 2014 President?s War Powers Article II, Section 2, of the United States Constitution, vests the president with the commander in chief power. The article reads as follows: "The president shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States." The Constitution gives the president the military's commander in chief power; however Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, gives the U.S. Congress and not the president the exclusive right to?declare war. Congress has the power to determine if the country will wage offensive war and against whom. Once that decision is made, the President is in charge of waging that war.

Industrialization and the Condition of Labor In 1873 a major, economic depression of the U.S. monetary system, was started due to a financial panic. Four years later, about one million people were unemployed, business growth was stagnant, and working people were growing anxious. In 1877, many of the railroads issued wage cuts and layoffs, which prompted railroad workers to go on a paralyzing strike. Due to this strike a lot of people died, businesses suffered losses of millions of dollars in destroyed property, leaving citizens stunned at the class warfare they had witnessed. At this time, in American history I personally do not believe things could get worse for the American people.
