Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the rapid economic growth of the United States. According to the paper productivity has been a key driving force behind the United States' rapid economic growth, especially in recent years. The paper further reports that this is also a key to future economic growth rates.
From the Paper
"Innovation is the single critical factor in economic growth and the source of US economic leadership as well as the foundation of its competitiveness in the global economy (Gates 2007).
If it must remain competitive, it must take two critical steps in creating and retaining a workforce of the world's brightest minds. One is to demand strong schools for Americans entering the workforce in the fields of math, science and problem-solving skills. The second is to make it easier for foreign-born scientists and engineers to work for US companies. Businesses must advocate for strong educational policies in science and mathematics for education relevant to the needs of business. Meanwhile, government should work with educators to reform schools and improve educational excellence (Gates)."

"Critique of Internal Improvement: National Public Works and the Promise of Popular Government in the Early United States by John Lauritz Larson.
Brief Discussion of Scope
Larson is a professor of history and a historian-author whose works, looking at his bibliography, seem to encompass topics such as this one. At first, it seems from the title alone, that the book would be a discussion of how the Federal Government developed policies of building infrastructure (roads, highways, bridges, canals and so on) that would unite and bind the country together. However, the book is actually about states' rights and Federal-State relationships, focusing on the major decision of letting the development of these national constructions to the states, localities, and private companies.

From the Paper
"One thing that helps keep a separation of power between the three branches is the President's limited lawmaking abilities. The president can recommend laws and changes to laws, but he cannot implement them. Only the Congress can do that. He can however, veto laws that Congress passes and he finds unacceptable. This keeps any one of the three branches from having too much power or influence over the others."

Abstract
This three-page undergraduate paper looks into the problem of urban and rural poverty and examines Federal Government's role in its elimination. While some argue that Federal Government should not interfere in the process, it would be unwise to deny Government a part in seeking an effective solution, since poverty relief on a national scale can be achieved with due help from the Government.

From the Paper
"The debate over the role and power of individual states within the federalist system of government in the United States of America has raged since the dawn of our nation. Two main questions have fueled a raging debate over so called states rights, what is the nature of our Union and what are the powers and privileges that the Constitution grants to the national government and reserves for the states. Incredibly enough, we are still attempting to answer these questions today over two centuries since the adoption of the ... "

Abstract
This paper will discuss the choice of the federal government that was chosen by the Founding Fathers as model for this country. The Articles of Confederation, and the centralized form of government, as used in France at the time, were not chosen because of there lack of different branches for a check and balance format in government. This was the reason that United States chose this mode of government for this purpose.

Abstract
This paper explains that the constitutional system of checks and balances has served the country well over the years, notwithstanding its original intent to avoid majoritarian power. The author points out that the amount of power wielded by one branch of the federal government compared to the others has tended to swing from one extreme to another, expanding in scope and power until brought under control by the checks and balances of the others. The paper relates that, since 9/11, the president has emerged as the temporary heavyweight champion among the three branches of government today; however, when the real and perceived threats to the nation's interests have been resolved, it would seem certain that the system of checks and balances would provide the impetus needed to once again diminish the powers of an "imperial presidency".
From the Paper
"According to "Black's Law Dictionary" (1990), checks and balances are an "arrangement of government powers whereby powers of one governmental branch check or balance those of other branches." This separation of powers, of course, has been a fundamental feature of the American federal government from the outset, but the intent, purpose and net effect of this approach has not been exactly what the Founders may have envisioned. When the nation's Founders gathered to forge a constitution, Goldwin and Schambra (1980) suggest that the checks and balances provisions that were adopted were not intended to keep the forces of government under control but were rather intended to keep the popular majority from exercising any substantive degree of influence over its operation."

Abstract
A critical analysis that interprets the status quo of America's federal powers. This is accomplished through reflecting upon the shifts in balance since the Dred Scott decision in 1856, with a specific emphasis on the Judicial branch. The author argues that a potentially volatile time is unfolding in America today because of imbalanced representation of Democrats and Republicans within the three branches of federal government.
From the Paper
"Initially presented in the first major text, the essence of an effective federal government is outlined by an equal distribution of powers between its three branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. The judicial branch has been widely accepted as the most powerful of the federal branches; being that it has the overall authority to deem what is legal, and what is illegal within the American borders. Dissimilar to characteristics of official positions found within the executive and legislative branches of America, a Supreme Court Justice's tenure is for life. Basically; after a President elects a Supreme Court justice, and that justice is approved by the Senate, the only way for that justice's spot on the bench to become available is through deviant behavior, retirement, or death. It is with this knowledge that the roots of America's imbalance of federal powers are brought to life. It has been more than 11 years since there has been a Supreme Court vacancy. This has been the longest interval without a vacancy since the administration of James Monroe in 1823, 182 years ago (http://www.usfca.edu/law_library/supcurr.html). Politically speaking; with the immediate presence of a republican dominated bench, a republican majority within the Senate, and a republican president, America finds itself in a vulnerable position. Shying away from the racially centered arguments found prevalent within the previous essay, this piece will critically analyze the unique situation that the American federal government finds itself in today, and will evaluate the susceptibility of the American conscience when a single political party controls the majority of federal powers."

Today, after a series of changes in administration, the CMS, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is the agency that oversees the programs ("40th Anniversary for Medicare and Medicaid" 1)."

Abstract
The following paper looks at the result of spending billions on security measures in the U.S.A. to combat terrorism. It discusses the ways in which the expenses of security measures affect the GDP and it assesses whether U.S. anti-terrorism policies impact significantly on the nation's economy.
From the Paper
"Bush may be faced with a puzzle. He may be tempted to imitate Reagan?s ?military Keynesianism?, by trying to make use of ?state funds? to get America out of recession. He has declared that ?$75 billion? would be diverted towards the economy of the nation. But ?military Keynesianism? might just provoke huge inflation that could lead to a crash later on. This might result in job losses and a decrease in trade and the working class will have to bear the consequences, as usual. (2) Though the American people may not be expected to be ?bold? enough, the American government is prepared to spend its finds on the fight against terrorism as well as the economic fight they have been pushed into."

Abstract
This paper explains how the states have seen their powers decreased in recent years, as the American national government has increased its power. In debating this issue, the writer discusses why it is important to look at the good and bad sides of this relationship. The writer discusses which spheres the powers have been increased - the federalization of criminal law, the control of dairy farming and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
From the Paper
"The National Government has started to decrease states' powers concerning criminal law, while increasing its power in these matters. The ABA Task force recently issued The Federalization of Criminal Law report which stated that ?the federalization of crime distorts the Constitution?s structure of powers in a least three respects.
The federalization of crime represents a usurping by the Congress of police powers, which the Constitution leaves in the states and withholds from the federal government."

Abstract
The formation of a national federal reserve for the U.S. Army was a slow process; it took many events and a few wars to establish and develop the U.S. Army Reserves as we know it today. This paper examines events from the Spanish American War of 1898, which led to the Dick Act of 1903, and two World Wars, and shows how the Army Reserve has been shaped and molded into an enduring legacy of military power.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
War with Mexico
The First American War
Reconstruction and Industrialization
Military Reform
The First World War
Between the Wars
Preparing to Fight
World War II
The Korean War
The Turbulent 60's
The "Total Force" Goes to War
From the Paper
"The first call for this new Army Reserve came in 1916 as a result of tensions between the United States and Mexico. The National Defense Act of 1916 established the Officers Reserve Corps, the Enlisted Reserve Corps and the Reserve Officers Training Corps. One year later in 1917, the initial Reserve organization, the Medical Reserve Corps merged into the Officers Reserve Corps. On April 6, 1917, America entered World War I. By the end of June 1917, there were 21,543 officer reservists and 35,000 enlisted reservists. Obviously, the contribution of the Reservists cannot be overstated. "

Introduction
The candidacy of H. Ross Perot succeeded in placing the issues of budget deficits and the accumulating national debt on the political agenda.

The analysis which follows attempts to define the different economic perspectives on the national debt and deficits. It evaluates the differing perceptions of the consequences of the debt and deficits for the U.S. economy and concludes with a..."
