Small government is a Republican strategy to lower the government budget and to redirect the surplus of money into other programs such as tax cuts for the wealthy and the corporations. Small government or Republicanism is about lowering corporate tax from 35% to 15% this way the government will have less money on entitlement programs. Republicanism is all about the deregulation of the banking industry by merging investment banks with saving banks like it was done before the advent of the Glass-Steagall act which brought the financial sector and the economy to its knees.

Small government is reducing most social programs like Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid , and Healthcare insurance, for instance, those who are against the Affordable care act are the proponents of small government. Small government is about expending America hegemony in the world by fighting unnecessary wars that benefit the weapons industry.

The Democrats are the proponents of big government, they love to spend money to expand the government. Under the leadership of president Franklin D. Roosevelt , a Democrat, who was elected for 4 terms, America has experienced a period of real growth right after the great depression of 1929. First, unemployment insurance has been introduced, so people who are unable to work temporarily can collect some benefits. Social security benefits against the lost of earnings due to retirement was introduced by FDR.The Glass steagall act had been put in place and the security exchange commission that protects the poor investors from white collar criminals was put in place by Roosevelt.

In other to create these programs, the Roosevelt administration had to collect 90% of taxes from the wealthiest Americans and these rich Americans said FDR administration had no business in spending billions of dollars for all these programs and increased the national debt. During the FDR administration , the federal government was the largest employer in the nation.

In conclusion, liberal Americans benefited from the program and conservative Americans were against it.

the supreme court case new jersey v TLO questioned the right students had in public schools. tlo was a new jersey high school st

Oksanka [162]

The SCOTUS did not rule that T.L.O’s 4th amendment (searches and seizures) rights had been violated. They ruled that the school administrations search of the bag was reasonable under the circumstances (i.e T.L.O. Being a minor and on school property, meaning that while at school, administration is responsible for the well-being and safety of all students, thus allowing them to search T.L.O’s bag for marijuana). A good way to think of it is that while you’re at school, the administration acts as your parents. Your parents don’t need a warrant to search through your room and neither does the administration if you are on school property. The 4th amendment applies to this case because it protects against unlawful searches and seizures (i.e. searches and seizures that are without a warrant). The constitutional question was whether or not T.L.O. Could be charged with a crime/punished or not because the school administration did not have a warrant. However, because the school administration was acting as a loco parentis (latin term for “in place of the parent”) they did not need a warrant to search her bag. Hope this helped!
