Describe the elements of a commission form of city government as devised in the Galveston Plan of 1901.

History
1 answer:
Pavel [41]3 years ago

Answer:

City Commission Government is a form of government organization created in 1901 by the Galveston Plan, with the aim of creating multi-person local governments, in which decisions do not depend on the will or judgment of a single mayor, but on a group of people who will decide the issues that are presented through majority votes.

In this context, the Galveston Plan stipulated that these groups should be 5 or 7 people, so that there is no possibility of a tie in terms of decision-making criteria, which would be counterproductive since it would slow down the entire decision-making process. In this way, the simple majority defines the decisions of the Commission.

In addition, this system encourages the selection of specialized people in different areas of the administration, with the aim that the Commission can solve different specific issues with specially trained people.

Lastly, all commissioners would be equal in their role on the Commission; A Senior Commissioner should be appointed only for the purposes of public government representation, but the latter does not have greater prerogatives regarding decision-making.

An important book written by Alexander Solzhenitsyn demonstrated the harsh treatment and Soviet prison camps, this novel is call
Lerok [7]

Well, both One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and Gulag Archipelago did capture the harsh treatment in the Soviet prison camps.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn a Nobel prize winner was himself a gulag prisoner from 1945 to 1953, so his story was widely considered as an accurate depiction of everyday prison life in the gulags. Solzhenitsyn gave terrifying accounts of the working conditions for prisoners, such as working in an outdoor construction site in the deep winter without proper equipment or clothing. The book covered one of the cruelest and blackest moments of human history, it showed how wicked man could be to mankind, prisoners were made to work without food, and some were killed at any slight mistake. What makes it so pathetic was the murder of tens of millions of innocent Soviet citizens by their own Government, and it happened mostly during the rule of Stalin, from 1929 to 1953.
