“This land [of South America] is very pleasing, full of an infinite number of very tall trees which never lose their leaves and

throughout the year are fragrant with the sweetest aromas and yield an endless supply of fruits, many of which are good to taste and conducive to bodily health. The fields produce many herbs and flowers and most delicious and wholesome roots that I fancied myself near the Terrestrial Paradise. What shall we say of the multitude of birds and their plumes and colours and singing and their numbers and their beauty? I am unwilling to enlarge upon this description, because I doubt if I would be believed. . . . We saw so many . . . animals that I believe so many species could not have entered Noah’s ark. We saw many wild hogs, wild goats, stags and does, hares, and rabbits, but of domestic animals, not one.”

Should presidents be allowed to use executive orders to change policy, such as the minimum wage for federal contractors, or shou
raketka [301]

Answer:

It is your decision on if it is right, but I will give insight on the very basics of how our government deals with power distribution and why. And a touch of opinion. Happy New Year!

Explanation:

Giving the president the power of executive authority would make our government the same as a dictatorial one. That is one of the main reasons our government has 3 branches, it’s a checks and balances system that keeps those in power relying on each other to make decisions. The question of if it is right that a president should or shouldn’t have executive authority has raged on every since America first considered becoming independent from Britain, but based on the numerous times a British monarch given executive authority abused it, we can guess the same thing could easily happen with our president. At the very least a president should not have full freedom in passing policies, but the real difficult question is “To what extent should a president be able to pass policies, and congress oversee the affairs of the president?” This question applies to not just the president and Congress, but also the judicial branch and state governments. It’s a tough question.
