From the Paper
"Before exploring the more complex issues involved, it is necessary to understand the general intentions of the Patients' Bill of Rights. Numerous bills involving patients' rights have been presented to the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Discussed in this paper are the most pertinent bills specific to the Patients' Bill of Rights: the 1998 Patients' Bill of Rights, H.R. 3605 and S. 1890; the Bipartisan Patient Protection Act of 2001, S. 1052, S. 872, and H.R. 526; and the 2005 Patients' Bill of Rights, H.R. 2259, H.R. 2650, and S. 1012. In general, federal legislation that safeguards patients' rights is supported by both major political parties and the President, and also has considerable public appeal (Chavez, 2001, 606; Chaddock, 2001, 1)."

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes former president Bill Clinton's autobiography "My Life." According to the review, the autobiography is more centered around Clinton's political career,although it points out how his political career affected his personal life. The books gives a brief biography of Clinton's early life and various aspects of his career, including some of the scandals. The review concludes by describing the book as very confusing, often plagued with numerous amounts of bills, economy deficits and number games, and does not recommend it as good reading for others.

From the Paper
"Health Care Reform, a project that Clinton and his wife spent ample time trying to put together, was shot down eventually. Clinton stated how the bill was made to provide health care to those that didn't have health insurance. He speaks of a women he knew of that had to quit her job that paid $50,000 a year to go on welfare and receive Medicare, she had to do this because one of her children had an illness that her insurance company eventually told her they wouldn't provide health insurance for him any more. The woman decided she didn't want her child to die so took the only option she had. Health Care Reform, would prevent insurance companies from doing this. Eventually, commercials depicting families having conversations about how the government was going to tell the American people what kind of health care they were going to receive, made the bill less popular. He defended the bills 1,300 pages as a normal thing, as most bills passed by congress are usually over a 1,000 pages."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of U.S. government and political science. Specifically, it describes the process of how a bill becomes a law in the United States. It further discusses the complicated process, in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, of creating and passing legislation. The writer also presents variables which affect bills becoming laws, such as elections.

From the Paper
"Any member of the Senate or House can introduce legislation. In the House, the bill first goes to the Clerk of the House, and if the Clerk is not there, the bill goes into the "hopper," a box on the Clerk's desk specifically to hold new legislation. In the Senate, the Senator must wait until the "morning hour," a 90-minute session on Mondays and Tuesdays reserved for member speeches and bill introduction. If another Senator objects, the bill introduction must wait until the next day. Once the bill is introduced, it is called the "First Reading" of the bill. In the House and the Senate, more than one representative can sponsor a bill. After the bill is introduced, it is assigned a number and identifier (in the House HR is used, in the Senate it is simply S). The bill also gets the sponsor's name. It then travels to the Government Printing Office, where they make copies of the bill."

Abstract
This paper explains that President Bill Clinton is one of the most successful, persuasive public speakers in the world not because of his unique life history but rather because he has a unique combination of public speaking skills, charisma and ability to entertain audiences globally. Clinton was not always known for his impeccable speaking skills, the author points out; however, with the help of speechwriters and public communications experts, he has learned to use notes and key points along with his unpredictable stories and thoughts. The paper states the importance of a good speaker to the success of an event.

From the Paper
"Clinton, like all good public speakers, understands the importance of seeking out topics that interest and appeal to his audience. This is why he is frequently sought out organizations and universities to deliver speech. He can create unique and innovative topics out of a broad subject like graduation. He invents topics that reflect on those aspects of the subject that have direct connection with the audience.
"Clinton also has an excellent sense of the use inflection as a tool to grab the attention of the audience. His presentations are always lively and never monotonous."

Abstract
The paper outlines the brief history of Bill C-61 and what its key provisions are; the essay subsequently looks at how the new legislation - if ever passed - would tighten regulations vis-a-vis consumer obligations in the realm of copyright but would also impose an anti-circumvention law that, for all intents and purposes, would place ordinary consumers in jeopardy of being sued for merely recording their favourite music or shows for later viewing. At the same time, the paper discusses how the anti-circumvention measures outlined in the proposed bill would undoubtedly create renewed demand for Digital Rights Management software - which would hurt the entertainment sector because it would drive down consumer demand for goods fitted with the new software while simultaneously making a mockery out of the notion of "free TV".

From the Paper
"Definition of bill C-61. Anti-circumvention component of proposed law. Renewed demand for DRM software if legislation passes. Support in entertainment community for C-61. Notion of "fair-use". Greater likelihood of litigation if bill passes. The following paper will look at whether Canada's Bill C-61 is headed in..."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Upon founding a new country, we would insist that this right be kept. It is necessary for there to be a system that embraces due process. A speedy and public trial will ensure that the accused doen not spend an unreasonable time in jail prior to trial. This could be considered torture, especially if the accused is innocent."
"The Sixth Amendment is a right that allows for all people to be considered equal under that law until proven otherwise. When determining whether to take a man or a woman's right to life and liberty, there has to be a strict standard that is followed to ensure that those rights are not taken away unnecessarily."

Abstract
This paper shows by using the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution that the Bill of Rights was necessary to the foundation of law in the United States. Without these, a person accused of a crime, whether federal or state, could face unfair or even dangerous prosecution and could be denied his/her basic human rights as described in the U.S. Constitution.

From the Paper
"When the Constitution of the United States was ratified by a majority of the states in 1789, it lacked what has come to be called the Bill of Rights, a very important document made up of amendments to the Constitution itself. For example, in the original Constitution, there existed no protection against the establishment of a national religion and did not guarantee that American citizens could speak freely, belong to any group they wished or publish magazines and books without the fear of being censored or banned by the federal government. But most importantly, the Constitution did not promise nor provide any protections for a citizen accused of a crime, nor did it specify that such a person would receive a fair and swift trial and if convicted receive just and humane punishment."

Abstract
This paper explains how the infamous Enron case caused regulatory bodies the world over to be concerned and stressed the need for greater control in the form of stringent and revised policies as well as a dramatic increase in penalties for any unethical and illegal offenses. The paper also examines the resulting positive impact the bill has on Canadian investors while boosting the capital market.

From the Paper
"It is evident that the Ontario Bill 198 has not only radically transformed the role of CGA, CSA, OSC and CICA in setting up standards but it has also resulted in increased investor's confidence and greater stability of the capital market where employment of ethical standards is essential for the survival of the market system. Ontario Bill has thus augmented the power of investors thereby equipping them with new-found confidence in the workings of the market system where there hard-earned and much-valued capital remains at stake but which is no more at the mercy of the financial accountants."
