Political Issues

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the book "Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Political Issues" by G. McKenna and S. Feingold, a debate-style as well as a highly mind boggling masterpiece based on controversial political issues that the political history has witnessed to date. It evaluates how the authors have successfully created a reservoir of political thought based on political controversies for the students that are either early learners entering into the controversial world of political concepts or students studying advanced politics.

From the Paper:

"According to the authors of this book, the two jobs that the Congress does besides passing laws and appropriating money include provision of constituent services and review of the case work. "This means fielding citizens' complaints about social security and other checks not coming in and having hearings about issues, issuing reports and developing legislations to make new policy". One of the most important powers of the leadership and committee chairs is that they decide which bills will go to which committee or sub committee. Thus they play a vital role in law making. However not all bills become laws in fact only ten percent of the total do. After the distribution of the bills and the hearings, those bills that the committee votes in favor of move to the floor vote. If and when the bill manages to obtain the floor vote it moves further up to the Senate and then to the conference committee."
