In every society, the government needs to have what are called police powers. What this means is that the governments need to have the right to uphold the laws. Governments need to have this ability so that they can protect their citizens from others who would seek to prey on them. Without police powers, for example, there is no one to protect us from being murdered or robbed, or otherwise harmed.
The problem is that the government can take away our rights in the process of trying to protect us. For example, let us imagine that the government is worried about drug use. It therefore declares that it has the right to test any person for drug use at any time. It also declares that it has the right to search anyone’s house at any time for evidence of drug manufacture, sale, or use. This would be great for law and order because it would make it much harder to get away with drug crimes, but it would be terrible for our rights.
Answer:
The Yalta Conference essentially confirmed the accords reach in the previous Allied conference at Teheran in 1943, in regards to the unconditional surrender of the Axis powers. What was confirmed in Yalta was the commitment to create a new international organization, better equipped than the previous Society of Nations. This organization would be the United Nations.
Explanation:
The Yalta Conference was the entry point of the Cold War, that would essentially began after the Postdam Conference in 1945. What made Yalta relevant, was the commitment to install the United Nations as a heir of the former Society of Nations of the 1920's, but with the aim that this new organization would have a better way of coercing nations to respect international laws. However the conference also saw the Soviet Union using the leverage it had regarding the war, to make the US help it to force Britain to accept for example the Soviet occupation of Poland, in exchange for the Soviet war declaration over Japan.
The Yalta Conference was held in the country of Russia in the city of Yalta, hosted by the Soviet Union.
The Majority whip would be asked to get the party members "in line".
Jefferson and Madison would create the Democratic-Republican political party to be a voice for the common man against the elite Federalist party. The two men fought laws and policies enacted by Washington and Adams when they believed they violated the Constitution and the rights established by the Bill of Rights.
One example of this was Jefferson's writing of the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in regard to the Whiskey Tax. Though written anonymously, he suggest the states (the people) were allowed to nullify, or ignore, federal laws that the people did not agree with. He suggest it was in the rights of the people to refuse to pay the whiskey tax.
Jefferson and Madison were both outspoken about their disagreement with the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts by John Adams. Jefferson would overturn the acts after becoming the third president of the US. Madison also stood against John Adams in regard to the "midnight-appointments" which was an expansion of the federal court system. Madison refused to issue the confirmations of the judges causing one to take Madison to court in the famous case, Marbury v. Madison.
