The Clinton Years: The Power of the American Presidency
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of the power that comes with the American presidency. The contention is presented that although a president might have the capability of inflicting short-term damage to our system of government and our nation, there are provisions in place to make sure that damage is only short term. Bill Clinton, for example, managed to deleteriously change the world perception of the American Presidency. On a more fortunate note, however, Clinton's term was temporary and the American Presidency lives on even in his absence. In all Clinton did nothing towards changing the institution of the presidency itself. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

The Compelling Themes of War
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. When we review several diverse texts there can be found a common theme about wars, control, power, economy, etc. It is easy to see we live in a culture that is embedded in war. It is obvious that man will go to any length to fight a war and win; it is just as obvious that man works harder at war than he would have to work for peace. If man were to put the same efforts into peace as he did war, the world could be in a better situation. A review of works by William James, R. C. Sherriff, George Bernard Shaw and the Bhagavad-Gita help form this view. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Concept of “Virtu” in Machiavelli’s Political Theory: Princely Virtu and Civic Virtu from “The Prince” and “Discourses”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Machiavelli’s Princely and civic “virtu”. Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) was an Italian politician and philosopher during the Italian Renaissance but was also tortured by the Medici and understood the various levels of politics within the society of the day. Despite his hardships within the political system, Machiavelli’s writings were often considered ahead of their time in the protection of Italy as a country. His political theories were best bestowed in two of his better known works “The Prince” and “Discourses”. “The Prince” discussed what was needed in order for a Prince to maintain his Principality in what is now known as Machiavellian concepts of “whatever means necessary”. Princely “virtu” was not to be confused with”virtue”. “Virtu” for Machiavelli was a certain strength and wisdom which was required by a Prince to use violent means when necessary in preserving his country. In “Discourses”, commissioned by the Medici which was to offer advice in regards to a new constitution, Machiavelli also introduced the term “virtu” as it can be applied to a republic. Republican civic “virtu” was a strength required by the people to provide well formed and founded debates in order to make the proper determination as to who would be their leader and the structure of their political system. Machiavelli uses the existence of both Princely virtu and civic virtu to explain the success of the Roman invasions and the maintenance of their republics. A Prince with virtu needed people with virtu in his armies to be able to conquer and control others and to maintain an element of fear to not expect retaliation. Civic virtu could further be applied to continue an endless succession of Princes of virtu and the establishment of civic virtu is also essential for the maintenance of the strength of the Republic.

The Concept of a Democratic Historian
[ send me this paper ]
Perhaps one of the best approaches to addressing the concept of democracy, though, came not from an American theorist, but from the writings of Alexis de Tocqueville, in his work Democracy in America, and his belief in the value of a historical context for democracy. This 5 page paper provides an overview of the issue presented and relates it to the current literature. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
