The 1948 United States Presidential Election is considered apart from being one of the biggest electoral upsets in American history, the start of an era of great economic prosperity and growth of the United States as a superpower in the land of politics.
After winning the election then President elect Harry S. Truman implemented and oversaw various policies in order to contain and stop the influence of communism around the world which culminated in the entry of the United States in the Korean war.
During this time period President Truman also oversaw the approval of NSC 68, a secret statement of foreign policy. Which sought to increase the defense budget and in turn increase the military prowess of the US and weaken the Soviet Union's influence as much as possible.
The results of the 1948 Presidential Elections also influenced the reform of civil rights in the US, more specifically voting rights and fair employment rights, these reforms also had a key role in ending racial segregation in the armed forces.
It was during the William Taft's<span> presidency that Congress passed the 16th Amendment to levy an income tax on the American people, and the 17th amendment, which allowed election of United States senators by popular vote.</span>
<span>The Western tradition is indebted to Judeo-Christian formations
of the special dignity of human beings and the rights and responsibilities
which are theirs by virtue of that dignity. All human beings owe their lineage
to a set of common parents according to the Hebrew Bible. These parents, Adam
and Eve, were made in the image and likeness of their Creator (Gen. 1:27), and
thus all their progeny bear that image (i.e., the imago Dei). From these
beginnings we inherit the concept of human exceptionalism—the belief that human
beings are unique, possessors of inalienable rights, and ought to exercise
managerial stewardship over nature.</span>
