Many journalists criticized Seward for his purchase of Alaska because they thought it was a waste of money due to the fact that it was so distant and seemingly uninhabitable, which is why it was called "Seward's folly".

<span>Cloture is rarely invoked in the Senate because it is difficult to achieve the required three-fifths vote (60/100), because the cloture would be increasingly invoked and would lose its power, and because it curtails the democratic process.

Gerrymandering is a way of drawing legislative distribution in order to give one party more seats in proportion to the share of votes that the candidates have. A bipartisan committee is the best solution to the problem of gerrymandering because if it was solved by the party in power when they next lost power, the other party would reverse their action.

What are some potential benefits and potential costs of total war, and do the potential benefits ever outweigh the costs ?
dimaraw [331]

The concept of "total war" refers to a type of armed conflict that is bound by no rules or limitations in terms of who is being attacked, the weapons that are used or the elements of society that will be sacrificed to win it.

Engaging in this type of war can have some benefits, such as:

  • There is no need for the government to define its objectives clearly.
  • Because of it, there is no accountability between the government and its citizens, which gives them free reign of action.
  • Countries with a strong military can use their full power.

However, the costs far outweigh the benefits:

  • Increased cost of human lives, from all parties involved.
  • The destruction of all civil society.
  • Because civil society is so disrupted, government institutions are likely to collapse as well.
  • Extremely difficult recovery process, both politically as economically.
  • Complete depletion of the country's resources.
  • Violation of human rights and the laws of just war.
  • Closes the door to any peaceful solution.

There is rarely, if ever, a situation in which a total war provides benefits that would outweigh the costs of it, or that would not be achieved through some other means.
