Abstract
This paper evaluates Jimmy Carter's statement on the limits of the use of military force abroad and the growing lack of pluralism in American government and explains that it is a truthful and historical valid comment for American today. The paper also looks at how events after WWII helped engineer a growing powerful economic apparatus of the World Bank and trading markets that greatly lessened the need for the large-scale wars of the past. The paper further suggests that the centrism of American government has been a growing problem due to the increase of moderates from the Democrat and Republican parties that are forcing single-issue politics and narrow plurality in governance, and that President Carter provides valid and objective truths in his statements on the trends in governing.
From the Paper
"President Carter states in 1980 that there will be a greatly lessened capacity to rely on the military than had been seen in previous generations, such as those of World War I and World War II. He states that there will be: Limits on the use of military power abroad, the limits of manipulation without harm to ourselves (of) a delicate and balanced natural environment (Carter). One reason he is correct in making this statement is that the policy of American militarization has decidedly taken a different turn in previous Presidencies. President John F. Kennedy also makes this same statement on militaristic limitations, but defines the reasons why NATO and the United Nations played a role in creating this historical change in American policy in the world."

Abstract
The paper talks about the Panama Canal Treaties, why they are important to the U.S. and how we benefit from them. It further examines how President Carter was able to influence the Senate and the American people to get them to support two treaties.
From the Paper
"On September 7, 1977 President Jimmy Carter signed two treaties with Panamanian General Omar Torrijos. The first treaty, known as The Panama Canal Treaty, provided for the slow transfer of the canal and Canal Zone to Panama by December 31, 1999. Both nations under this treaty would work together to make sure that the canal operated efficiently and uninterrupted. The second treaty, known as the Neutrality Treaty, dealt with permanent neutrality and operation of the canal. Critics of The Panama Canal treaty argued that the treaty does not mention what military action the United States can take if the canal was threatened. They also argued that the Neutrality Treaty does not contain a cause for U.S. and Panamanian joint defense. Before the treaty became law it faced a tough battle for passage in the Senate."

Abstract
This paper discusses James Earl Carter, Jr. (known all his life as Jimmy Carter) and his presidency of the United States. It provides a background on his upbringing and rise to presidency and then discusses some of the events that occurred during his time as president. The paper analyzes the early religious, moral, educational and personal influences on his moral approach to leadership.
From the Paper
"A look at Jimmy Carter's Presidency shows that moral leadership, while reassuring does not, on its own make a leader great or even exceptional. However, as the presidencies of Carter's mid-to-late 20th century predecessors and successors alike have demonstrated, Presidential leadership with little or no moral or ethical dimension can potentially (as it is doing now) damage the country, foreign relations, and the Presidency itself. In those respects Jimmy Carter, while his Presidency clearly left the country worse off economically and in various other ways; also left the office of Presidency itself more respected (and he left the White House more honorably, as a person) than any other full-term American President (with perhaps the sole exception of Ronald Reagan) since Eisenhower. The fact that so many today would see this as little of an achievement tells us much about what is wrong generally with America today."

The Government that Governs Best, 2004.
Asks the question: does the government that governs least govern the best?

Abstract
There are many who believe that a true, freedom-loving democracy consists of a government that stays out of the business of its citizens as much as possible. This paper questions whether a government that does not govern much at all can really be an effective government. Even more importantly, it questions whether a government that does not govern much can protect and preserve the very democracy and freedom that created it in the first place. This paper looks at the writings of Alex de Tocqueville, specifically, his book, "Democracy in America", in order to determine if the government that governs least really is best.
From the Paper
"For most of the history of the United States, the idea that the government should not be very strong and should leave the people mainly to themselves has been a common theme of opinion among both the people and the politicians. It was certainly the common idea of the day when the Articles of Confederation were installed as our first constitution. The Articles of Confederation created a weak, loose league of friendship between the states, but established no real sort of federal government. The federal government it did create had no power beyond what the states gave it. As a result, nothing much ever got done, and the government and the states soon found out that the United States as a whole was not able to pay its bills, regulate its commerce, or ensure domestic tranquility."

The Presidency of the U.S. Government, 2002.
Looks at the original intentions of the framers of the U.S. Constitution with regard to the role of Congress.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The framers of the U.S. Constitution intended to assign more power to Congress than to the presidency. Bearing in mind that Americans had waged revolution against monarchy, the framers intended to put a check on presidential power and gave Congress the power to override a presidential veto and to impeach and remove a president. However, the history of U.S. politics reveals that the presidency is a constraining force on Congress and presidents have frequently used the constitutional power to veto legislation passed by Congress.

Abstract
This paper examines how President Carter's political platform of moral intervention in global conflict set the stage for a determined U.S. effort to end potential eruptions of war in the Mideast conflict by withdrawing the primary Arab military force, Egypt, from the equation through a land-for-peace settlement, which was finalized in the Camp David Accords.
From the Paper
"At the outset of the Camp David Meetings, Sadat and Begin appeared willing to discuss issues face-to-face but as disagreements broke out, the personality of Carter became a key factor upon which a successful outcome depended. To help along the peace process, Carter started a series of one-on-one meetings with Sadat and Begin individually (Thornton 210). From the start of these one-on-one meetings, Begin's attitude startled Carter and members of his negotiating team. Begin insisted that the USA stop its role as fair mediator, agree to Begin's proposals for settlement and inform the world "that there were no serious differences between the United States and Israel" (Thornton 210)."

Man, Politics, and Power, 2004.

Abstract
This paper contains a comparative book review on the two books. The author points out that these books reflect a specific time in our society when struggle and oppression were at their height, with both presenting different viewpoints on the same political time. Together, they are an intimate portrayal of a man, politics, and the power of a movement vs. the power of a man.
From the Paper
"Both books cover southern politics in the 1960s and beyond, but from quite different perspectives. "The Politics of Rage" is an unauthorized biography of southern governor and presidential hopeful George C. Wallace, one of the most outspoken bigots and controversial politicians in our time. "He was the most influential loser in twentieth-century American politics" (Carter 468) and this could be the thesis of the book. Carter's book chronicles Wallace's life from his parents to his final political activities and death. Carter shows just how influential Wallace was in southern and national politics, and shows how Presidents Nixon and Reagan manipulated Wallace's popularity to gain Republican voters in the South."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the 39th President of the United States, James Earl Carter, Jr., more commonly known as Jimmy Carter. The paper discusses his life, his work and his political career. The paper reports that Carter was elected in 1976, defeating incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford; but defeated for re-election four years later. According to the paper, the primary evidence of Carter's early religious; moral; educational, and personal influences offer insight into his morally-based leadership, a kind America might do well to better and more clearly encourage, rather than ignore or even denigrate, among leaders today.
From the Paper
"As a boy, the future President Jimmy Carter's deep religious orientation, combined with the sense of civic and patriotic responsibility he learned, from his parents ; community; at church; at Sunday school, and in the Georgia public schools, likely also influenced him to choose the United States Navy as his first career. As an adolescent Carter dreamed of being appointed to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, and graduating from there a Naval officer Carter further recalls that his father, by then a successful peanut farmer in Plains, and who had taught his son and namesake Jimmy to work alongside him from age 10 or so, nevertheless strongly encouraged his oldest son, then the only male heir to the elder Carter's thriving peanut farming business, to pursue his personal dream of entering Annapolis and making the Navy his career
Jimmy Carter, having succeeded after high school, at being appointed to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis as a cadet in 1941, and then graduated in the top 20% of his class, completing a Bachelor of Science degree in 1945. After that the future President first served on submarines in Atlantic, and in Pacific fleets. But Jimmy Carter's seven-year Naval career ended (regretfully for the former President; since his goal from childhood had been to spend his life as a Naval officer ) abruptly when his father died on October 9, 1953 ). At that time, Carter was a command officer in the Navy's then fledgling nuclear submarine program, and then Captain (later Admiral) Hyman Rickover was his mentor."

Abstract
This essay examines, from an historiographical perspective, the role, intentions and motivations of President William McKinley in the expansionist practices and policies of the United States government at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century. The essay considers specifically whether McKinley was an opportunist of a representative of the vanguard of American liberty. While McKinley's motivations and intentions may have been mixed, the consensus of the sources consulted for this essay is that McKinley was an opportunist taking advantage of the popular view that the United States had the right, if not the duty, to exercise its power in other nations to impose its will for economic and strategic purposes rather than save foreign peoples in the name of liberty and/or democracy.
From the Paper
"In other words, there are many different ways to determine how history was created in the era under study. Historiography does not see this era or any other as a series of events that "just happened.? Even if there were powerful historical forces in the United States pressing for expansionism, the actual creation of history depends on human beings making choices for discernible reasons, from the perspective of historiography. McKinley, as the man at the helm of the country in this era, was a powerful character whose decisions clearly initiated another chapter in American expansionism, a foreign branch of Manifest Destiny. Historiography considers the role of such powerful men as a crucial element of its analysis. Historiography also considers whether expansionism was a necessary element of American history, a result of a perceived need to expand for the sake of the nation's survival. The sources suggest that this was not the case in the expansionism pursued by McKinley, although the President certainly used such an argument in defending his policies."

The main focus of the analysis is to argue against the fact that, as a country that stands against monarchal styled privileges by a single and very powerful member of government, President Clinton should not have the ability to abuse these powers and act selfishly in their use.

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the book, ?The Plot to Kill the President? by George Robert Blakey and Richard Billings. It critiques the book and describes the authors' theory of that organized crime conspired to assassinate President John F. Kennedy in the 1960?s.
From the Paper
"The last four decades have been filled with discussions and theories about the assassination of American president John F. Kennedy. While some believe it was a plot planned and carried out by the government?s own CIA others hold steadfast to the belief that the president was indeed killed by a lone gunman on the knoll that day. While these two theories are well known and often discussed on talk shows as well as dinner parties there is another theory that is not as well known but every bit as intriguing. The book by George Robert Blakey and Richard Billings titled "The Plot to Kill the President"presents a new and intriguing possibility about who and what was behind the presidential assassination. "

President of the United States, 2007.
This paper describes the various roles of the US President with specific reference to the presidency of George W. Bush.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that the US President is the head of state of the United States, the chief executive of the federal government, as well as the commander in chief of the US armed forces. As such, the paper reveals that he is probably the most powerful person in the world. He wields considerable powers derived from the US constitution, the super-power status of the US and the influence and prestige of his office. The paper details the many roles the President plays in leading the country, such as his legislative and judicial role. The paper explains that the office of the US Presidency has evolved over the years and is no more the same as envisaged by the country's founding fathers.
From the Paper
"From the time of the first US President (George Washington) to the end of the 19th century, the presidency had a limited role restricted mainly to the execution of policies made by the Congress. As the US became a world and industrial power in the 20th century, a stronger presidency was required for managing the country's foreign policy and its growing domestic economy. The Great Depression of the 1930s and the Second World War saw a further expansion of the President's role--a role that persists to date. Apart from the force of circumstances--industrialization, war, depression, terrorist attacks etc., certain strong presidents, e.g., Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin Roosevelt helped to expand the powers of the office by the force of their personalities and decisive actions at appropriate times."
