" McCAIN-FEINGOLD BILL AND FEDERAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM
This research paper discusses proposals to reform the financing of federal political campaigns in America, primarily focusing on the bill sponsored by Senators John McCain (R-Ariz) and Russell Feingold (D-Wisc), S. 25, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 1997, the reasons why it was introduced, how its principal provisions would change present law, its likely impact, why it has failed to pass in the Senate and alternatives.
The McCain-Feingold bill is designed to remedy partially the defects in the present scheme for regulating federal campaign contributions and spending by curbing some of the abuses revealed in recent campaigns. It failed because of Republican opposition and Senate stratagems which have prevented it from being debated and voted on in the Senate; however, the only lasting solution to.."

Abstract
This paper examines the issue of campaign finance reform, where the issues involved are reported to be heralded by politicians yet the record of legislation does not verify their public support. In addition, the bills do not fully address the problems involved in campaign finance reform and tend to detract attention from more important areas. The McCain- Feingold bill will be used as an example in support of this particular argument.

Minimum Wage Bill, 2007.
An analysis on bill H.R.5970, based on a USA Today article, "Senate Rejects GOP Estate Tax, Minimum Wage Bill."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Senate recently voted down a bill that would have raised minimum wage but would have also lowered estate taxes. The paper examines how, by linking two oppositional tax-related issues, the bill, H.R.5970, polarized the Senate along party lines. The paper explores how an estate tax cut favors the wealthiest Americans who own multi-million dollar estates, whereas the minimum wage hike would directly affect the working poor. The paper concludes that most of the Senate's Republicans favored the bill because of the estate tax cut implications, whereas most Democrats would have favored the bill only if it focused exclusively on raising the minimum wage.
From the Paper
"Democrats oppose an estate tax cut in part for the same reasons they favor a minimum wage increase. Estate tax revenues can potentially be huge: capital gains taxes currently run about 15%. Yet only the wealthiest Americans benefit from estate tax cuts and Americans who would qualify are in the vast minority. The vast majority of Americans, on the other hand, might benefit from an increase in minimum wages. Only the tiniest percentage of Americans own multi-million dollar estates while a substantial portion of Americans earn close to the minimum wage."

From the Paper
"The unprecedented economic growth of the Southeast Asian countries? in the 1980s and 90s was a result of ?opening-up? of their economies to take advantage of the globalization trend. This coincided with rapid appreciation of the Japanese yen in the mid-1980s that drove the cost of production sky high in Japan, forcing several Japanese companies to move their production facilities offshore?initially, to South Korea and Taiwan. The Japanese also started an aggressive policy of monetary expansion resulting in ?asset price bubble,? and triggering massive capital inflows into South Korea and Taiwan. By the late 1980s, the Korean and Taiwanese economies experienced a similar appreciation in their currencies, followed by similar policies and large capital outflows?to the neighboring Southeast Asian countries."

As Microsoft's largest stockholder, Bill Gates is worth nearly $6.1 billion, making him this country's second wealthiest man. He is at thirty-eight years old, America?s youngest self-made billionaire. Microsoft's $25 billion market value tops that of Ford, General Motors, 3M, Boeing, RJR Nabisco, General Mills, Anheuser-Busch or Eastman Kodak. (Resin ?The Bill Gates Interview?) This paper will attempt to analyze the character of Bill Gates, explain the nature of the corporation he created, and explicate some of the difficulties he and his corporation have faced economically and personally.

Introduction
Fourth Amendment
Fifth Amendment
Sixth Amendment
Seventh Amendment
Eighth Amendment
Modifying the Eighth Amendment
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."

Beyond House Bill 60
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Much of the opposition centers how these laws will limit opportunities for United States citizens and legal residents. For many low-income American families, state universities present the only option for higher education. Because many state universities are already limiting enrollment, groups like the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) contend that ?when public universities admit an illegal immigrant and provide subsidized tuition, some other student who is also deserving is denied an opportunity? (FAIR Issue Brief). These alien students, in effect, will gain an education at the expense of legal American residents or citizens."

Australia and a Bill of Rights, 2004.
This paper debates the necessity that Australia implement a Bill of Rights because the existing system is ill-equipped to meet the needs and demands of a modern democratic society.

Abstract
This paper explains that many experts believe the Australian constitutional system, which is based on the colonial English administrative model, is too limited and confusing; therefore, the American Bill of Rights system, which would list the basic rights of an individual and would force the government to treat the individual within the limits set by this system, is now preferred. The author points out that opponents to the enactment of a Bill of Rights in Australia have vociferously asserted that the federal parliament has the power to enact laws, which amounts to provisions envisaged in a formal Bill of Rights; however, past instances have shown that the commitment of the lawmakers in Australia is not fully sympathetic to the cause of the underprivileged. The paper relates that a formal Bill of Rights would lighten the load on the judiciary and give it a framework by which important cases relating to human rights could be decided because the courts are not always in a position to protect basic rights, as they themselves operate under many restrictions.
From the Paper
"It is interesting to note that the founding fathers of the constitution of Australia openly rejected the proposal for a bill of rights. Since the Australian constitution was based on the British and the American system, it was only natural that a proposal for inducting a bill of rights was made. However, the proposal was rejected outright because the people who drafted the constitution of Australia felt that such a move would put the government into a great disadvantage. They felt that the provisions of the bill of rights would prevent them from invoking laws against the aboriginals and the Chinese who were discriminated against in this country. Hence, it is quite evident that the bill of rights was rejected as a legal option out of the fear of the loss of influence of the government. That the bill of rights was prevented from gaining entry into the executive branches of the constitution proves that the white dominated majority wanted to maintain their dominance over the natives as well as people of foreign origin. This is an unfortunate example of the total lack of commitment by a legal framework that should have ideally considered all citizens equally."

Bill of Rights, 2005.
An overview of the U.S. Bill of Rights and a summary of some of the amendments.

Abstract
The Bill of Rights was ratified into the United States Constitution in 1791. The Bill consists of 10 amendments and was created to define the liberties of the people of the United States that the government could not infringe upon. This paper provides a brief history of the Bill of Rights before delving into several of the amendments incorporated into the Bill, including the First, Sixth and Eighth Amendments.
From the Paper
"The Eighth Amendment prevents the government from imposing excessive bail or fines and says cruel or unusual punishments shall not be inflicted (Lowi & Ginsburg, 2000). In this case, we can see that it takes the power of the government to punish criminals but, at the same time, it adds restrictions to that power. All of these examples show that the Bill of Rights expresses civil liberties; liberties that are for the people, and states that the government cannot take action that would go against or infringe upon on these rights."

Abstract
Defining mental disorders and subsequent behaviors through the DSM-IV-TR (2000) and associated research is a daunting task indeed. Applying these disorders to the characters, Hannibal Lector and Buffalo Bill, in the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991), requires critical and analytical thinking about mental disorders, etiology of the disorders, and subsequent behaviors as a result. This paper presents a discussion of the disorders using a variety of information in the literature and then presents the key behaviors in a comprehensive table for ease of possible diagnosis. Finally, these defined behaviors are applied to Hannibal Lector and Buffalo Bill in an attempt to give a picture of how these two characters became who they are.
