Abstract
This paper will analyze the doomed relationship between Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and the notorious Aaron Burr. By researching the events that would lead to Burr's exile by the murder of Hamilton, we can see how passion to an extreme caused the egomaniacal Burr to seek his own lust for power in the Burr Conspiracy. By planning to annex the Lousisiana Territory and what is now Mexico for his own government, we can see how he was destined to fall to the greater and more rational powers in the United States government.

Abstract
The writer examines the three most important events that led to the decline in Aaron Burr's fortunes: the tight presidential election of 1800, his duel with Alexander Hamilton, and the conspiracy for which he was put on trial. The writer considers how circumstance, Burr's actions, and those of other parties shaped the events and their fallout for Burr.

From the Paper
"The first event that set Burr's political decline in motion was his tie with Jefferson in the presidential election of 1800. The situation stemmed from constitutional rules whereby the second place candidate for President became Vice President. In order to put Republicans in both offices, Jefferson and Burr both had to run for president, the plan being for the electors in each state to split their votes between the two. The plan was not carried out properly, and the result was a tie vote between Jefferson and Burr in the electoral college, which meant it would fall to the House of Representatives to decide America's next president."

Abstract
Aaron Burr is significant to American history for many reasons. As a soldier, a distinguished lawyer, an attorney general, and vice president of the United States, Burr's life is colored with mystery and controversy. This paper explains how his tie results in the presidential election of 1800 made the country realize the electoral system was flawed and in need of repair. It also looks at how his duel with Alexander Hamilton was a first in American history and how, through deed and action, Burr proved himself to be one of the nation's greatest conspirators.

From the Paper
"After the war both men returned to practicing law, often meeting each other in the courtroom. Isaac Cox describes Burr as being noted for "clarity and conciseness of utterance. He never ranted nor lost his temper" (Cox) Melton adds that he "came across as a smart and straightforward lawyer, and he was good at listening" (Melton 30). He became incredibly successful and popular as an attorney but always with an eye on politics. It is also important to note that during these years Burr and Hamilton appeared to be moving in two different directions when it came to politics. Hamilton "cultivated" Washington while Burr "antagonized" him. (31) Hamilton was gearing himself to become a national figure forming what would soon become the Federalist Party, while Burr focused his attentions on politics in New York."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief historical overview of the life of Vice President Aaron Burr. The paper describes his upbringing and education, examines his political career, and discusses the events that led up to his arrest. The paper explains that Burr was put on trial for treason; however, the jury found Burr not guilty of a treasonous act or any high misdemeanors.

From the Paper
"In the year 1807, ex-Vice-President Aaron Burr was accused and sent to trial for a treasonous act. The prosecution stated that Burr had levied war against America. During this period, the United States and Spain were already in a dispute. Spain (present day Mexico) was threatened by the United States and the new westerners invading their territory. Throughout the trial, witnesses accused Burr of organizing a militia and planning to take Spanish territory by force. The prosecutor and president at the time was Thomas Jefferson. Before the trial had began President Jefferson made the statement that, "Burr was guilty without a doubt." The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court that would become the presiding judge over the trial was John Marshall, and aside for Burr, would become the most hated man in the trial. The trial was full of deception, accusations, and a lot of hatred."

Abstract
This paper explores director Alfred Hitchcock's stylistic signature through a compare/contrast of two of his films: "Rear Window" and "The Birds". The author explores some of Hitchcock's themes, such as marriage and voyeurism, that are common to both films.

From the Paper
"He has been called the Master of Suspense. Alfred Hitchcock would probably say that this tagline was merely invented to sell more cinema tickets, but many of his films contain elements that back up this formidable title. In Rear Window and The Birds, Hitchcock explores several different themes. However, each of these films still carries the true flavor of a Hitchcock film."

Abstract
This persuasive paper strives to showcase the importance of including study of the "psyche," or human soul, in the field of psychology. The author points out that not just the psyche, but consciousness, personality, ego, mind, and similar terms common throughout psychology refer to abstractions that can be demonstrated, but cannot be assigned a definite and precise tangent in physical time and space. The paper's conclusion laments that the greatest misfortune is not just how much the refusal to consider psyche research retards our understanding of psychology and biology, but rather, what that refusal says about the general attitude in science.

From the Paper
"Like psychology, the life sciences have their own undesirable but recurring issues that they have attempted to sweep under the rug or dismiss, but without success. Perhaps most of these issues have bearing on psychology as well. For example, the consensus view of neuroscience is that the mental processes, consciousness and the mind arise from the processes and activity of the brain. Given the results of biofeedback studies, lesion studies, learning and memory studies and many, many other studies, this idea ranks as one of the most foolish in science."

Abstract
The paper examines how Gordon Wood, in his work "Revolutionary Characters: What Made the Founders Different", explores the merit and personalities of the eight key figures involved in writing the Constitution and establishing the United States of America. The paper outlines Wood's treatment of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, James Madison and Thomas Paine. The paper then highlights how Wood's account conveys the eccentricity of the eight Revolutionary characters who came together to formulate the guidelines of America. The paper also asserts that Wood succeeds in counseling the reader about the perils and strengths of democracy.

From the Paper
"In the book Revolutionary Characters: What Made the Founders Different, Gordon Wood explores the merit and personalities of the eight key figures involved in writing the Constitution and establishing the United States of America. With an emphasis on the philosophies and social background of each man, Wood dedicates a chapter each to George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, James Madison, and Thomas Paine. Most historians focus on the commonalities between these men that history ascribes as our founding fathers because together they fought to rid the new forming America of the influences of an overbearing British Monarch and its oppressive rule. But according to Wood's modernist account that considers the explanation of many historians, these historical founding fathers possessed a set of politics and leadership ideologies possessed that were seemingly contradictory, but were eventually bound in the formation of the Constitution that emphasizes "egalitarian culture and democratic society.""

Abstract
An analysis of Thomas Jefferson's second term as president that focuses on his major challenges and shows how he consistently argued for strengthening the central government in order to deal with these challenges.

From the Paper
"Thomas Jefferson has been memorialized as one of the greatest presidents in American history. His image graces Mount Rushmore and droves of school children memorize his words each year as they learn about the Declaration of Independence. As all school children know, Jefferson was the third President of the United States, serving two terms. Jefferson's tenure as President was largely a mixed bag, however. This paper will analyze Jefferson's second term as President. During this period Jefferson faced many obstacles and made many difficult decisions. As one prominent..."

Abstract
This paper examines the life of Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury who placed the U.S. on a firm financial footing. Hamilton was a decisive man of action who fought in the battles around New York in 1775 and whose zeal and organizing ability brought him to George Washington's attention which led to a commission as colonel in the Continental Army. This paper contains dates and detailed historical facts pertaining to Hamilton's political and military career.

From the Paper
"Hamilton's basic plan of government consisted of two legislatures, comprised by an assembly directly elected by the people to a three year term, and a senate, chosen by electors from senatorial districts to serve based upon merit, or good behavior. In addition to the aforementioned legislative bodies, there would be a Judiciary, consisting of twelve justices who would also serve based upon merit. This judiciary would have both original and appellate jurisdictions."
