Paper Abstract: Analysis of the 1984 and 2000 elections. Background of the two-party system. Significance of the 2000 election as the first time in 124 years that the candidate who won the national popular vote lost the electoral vote. Compares the candidates of 1984 and 2000. Role of the media in Presidential elections. Paper Introduction: ANALYSIS OF THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS OF 1984 AND 2000 Introduction - The Birth of the Two Party System Prior to the election of 1840, America did not have a two-party political system. Federalists and Democratic-Republicans contested elections in the early republic, but they were more representations of class and regional power than political parties. From 1812 to 1824, during the "era of good feelings," there was only one political party, and Presidents James Madison and James Monroe ran virtually unopposed (Shulman, M1). After a 4-year interregnum in which Andrew Jackson - the man who won the most electoral votes in the election of 1824 - was denied his victory in the House of Representatives in favor of John Quincy Adams, Jacksonian Democracy - a further development of Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Analysis of studies on the relationship between level of education & voting behavior. Higher education and increase in voter participation. Other factors that impact voting behavior including party identification, socioeconomic class, religion, personal feelings about candidates. Discusses findings of a survey on educational level & presidential selection in 2000. Two tables. Paper Introduction: VOTING BEHAVIOR AND EDUCATION Introduction Piven and Cloward (2000) have noted that education is an investment in human skills, one with both its costs and its returns. For example, the cost of finishing high school to the student is, according to the authors, very low because it consists mainly of the relatively low wages earned by a 16 to 19 year old. On the other hand, the cost to the student of attending college is higher and includes tuition, books, fees, and the earnings given up by not working and/or by working only part time. However, the returns of a higher education can be strong and varied. One of these returns, Piven and Cloward (2000) state, is a greater interest and participation in civic affairs Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Centers on Bush v. Gore and the U.S. Supreme Court's decision (5-4) to end a recount in Florida, resulting in Florida's electoral votes giving George W. Bush the Presidency. Closeness of vote. Litigation. Criticism of Supreme Court's decision as partisan & politically motivated. Analysis of a critique of the case from January 2001 edition of California Bar Journal that finds the Court's decision indefensible from a legal standpoint. Paper Introduction: Pundits predicting a close vote in the 2000 Presidential race could not have imagined just how close it would be. So close that the outcome would not be determined for more than four weeks after the November 7 election, and then only after the United States Supreme Court interceded to end a recount in Florida. That decision has been widely criticized as purely partisan and politically motivated. If accurate, the Court’s decision contravenes the spirit (if not the letter) of the Court’s Constitutional mandate. One of the most thoughtful critics of that decision has been law professor Erwin Chemerinsky. This paper will analyze Chemerinsky’s critique of the case, which appeared in the California Bar Journal’s January 2001 edition. This litigation began almost as soon as the election ended.

Paper Abstract: Traces the movement to reform campaign finance that began after the 1972 Watergate scandal. Federal Election & Campaign Act & amendments re: spending limits and contributions by donors. Increase in "soft money" contributions. Supreme Court decisions. Legal loopholes. Problems of PACs. Donor influence. Political ramifications & role of Congress. California voters reform efforts & conflice with labor unions. Paper Introduction: The simmering issue of campaign finance reform has burst into a hot topic in recent years as candidates have expended millions of dollars to win even the lowliest office. This has forced candidates to raise even more money, which has seemingly increased the influence of large donors. Those factors, coupled with the dramatic increase in “soft money,” have deepened the American public’s cynicism about the political system and about politicians. This sentiment has been especially strong in California, where the state’s voters have considered several initiatives designed to remake the system of campaign finance. This paper will examine the issue of campaign finance, placing particular emphasis on California’s attempts at reform and the impact of those efforts on large donors such as the state’s labor unions.

Paper Abstract: Examines controversy over the results. Breakdown in the election process. Lack of proper system to remedy the problems stemming from the breakdown. Development of a case study format to examine factors that explain the nearly even split in the popular vote between Gore and Bush. The problems involving Electoral College votes. Paper Introduction: EXPLAINING THE 2000 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION FIASCO IN THE UNITED STATES AND PROPOSING SOME ELECTION REFORMS TO PRECLUDE A REPRISE: A CASE STUDY Introduction In early-2003, every adult in the United States is aware that the 2000 presidential election results were controversial. It was not because George Bush won in the judicial system, and thus in the Electoral College, or that Al Gore lost in the same venues. The election was controversial because of the breakdown in the election process and because there existed no untainted system to remedy the problems stemming from the breakdown. Republicans and their ideological allies may be content to leave the country’s election system alone because, after all was said and done, they put their man in the presidency.

Paper Abstract: Discusses link between taxation and voting behavior. Negative voter behavior based on the kind of taxation levied. Based on a study of the link between tax hikes and the loss of a gubernatorial incumbency. Contends that voters' perceptions of their own well being are shaped more at the State level than nationally. Paper Introduction: The question of whether voters always punish political leaders who raise taxes is the subject of Niemi, Stanley, and Vogel's article "State Economies and State Taxes: Do Voters Hold Governors Accountable?" The short answer is yes: The purpose of the article is to show that voters' perceptions of their own well being are shaped more locally (i.e., at the state level) than nationally and that a perception of economic weakness and financial insecurity, aggravated by an increase in taxes, tends to lead to rejection of the incumbent governor under whose watch the individual tax burden was enacted. The method that the authors use to demonstrate the link between tax hikes and loss of gubernatorial incumbency is to cross-reference published state tax data with exit polls. Such data are measured against state election results, which are of cours Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Importance of presidential candidates' selection of a running mate. Provisions under the U.S. Constitution. Test of presidential leadership ability. Political considerations; balancing the ticket. Changes in the 1960s. Enhancement of role of Vice President in recent years. Presidential added duties to Constitutional ones. Discusses various vice presidential choices by presidential nominees. Paper Introduction: Article II of the U.S. Constitution provides for the election of a President and Vice-President by electors chosen from each state. Originally, the Vice-President was the individual running for President who came in second: "In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President." The Twelfth Amendment reduced the likelihood that a President and Vice-President would be from different political parties. The Constitution only gives the Vice-President two jobs, one being to serve as President Pro Tem of the Senate in order to break a tie in that body. It is the other job that makes the Vice-President important--he is to serve as President in case of the death of the President while in office. For half a century, this provision was not invoked.

Gore's inability to utilize the centrist style of politics; his populist message. People not relating to him. His exaggeration of his accomplishments. Role of the Green Party. Losing his home state. Poor showing in debates with Bush. Lack of strategic vision. Paper Introduction: Al Gore Jr. was the sitting Vice President, having overseen the largest period of economic expansion in the history of the country and working for one of the most popular, albeit controversial, presidents ever. Given the political maxim that voters vote with their pocketbooks, Gore seemed like a lock to win the 2000 election. Heading into the election, nearly two-thirds of Americans thought the Nation was on the right track (Schneider, 2001, 1). And yet, against all odds and political scientists’ predictions, Vice President Gore somehow found a way to lose. The Democratic Party now finds itself scrambling to figure out what happened and to pick up the pieces of perhaps the most spectacular flop in modern presidential election history. In the aftermath of the closest election in United States’ history, political pundits from the left and the right have Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: History, structure, function of presidential election system. Problem of election of a minority President. Arguments over the Electoral College. Paper Introduction: THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE: KILL IT OR KEEP IT? Introduction Shortly after the polls closed in Iowa on election night, Florida was called for Gore and it appeared as if George W. Bush was going to win the popular vote, but lose in the Electoral College. Of course, as the evening wore on the situation was reversed, as the election of 2000 became the first presidential election since 1888 in which the winner of the popular vote would not win the electoral vote and take office as President. As the election results centered on disputed votes in Florida, the election of 1876, in which the House or Representatives had to choose between competing slates of electors in an election that resulted in the winner, Rutherford B. Hayes, being known as "His Fraudlency" during his single term of office, calls to abolish the Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines history & function in electoral system. 2000 Presidential election. Argues for direct election of President. Need for Constitutional amendment. Paper Introduction: Last year’s presidential election educated the American public on the role the Electoral College plays in electing our nation’s President. For better or for worse, in the 2000 presidential election the candidate that received a majority of the popular vote lost the presidency to the candidate that barely won the Electoral College. Since this contested election, there has been much hue and cry for the abolition of the electoral college. However, doing away with the Electoral College would make the majority of the nation’s states inconsequential in deciding the outcome of the presidential election. The issue of Electoral College reform is as complicated as the Electoral College itself, and unfortunately there is no quick fix that will solve the problem. Although most Americans would agree that some kind of electoral reform is Read the Entire Essay.

INTRODUCTION The election in Taiwan in March 2000 was significant because it involved the first time in the history of the Republic of China that power had changed from the traditional ruling party, the Kuomintang or KMT, to another party, the Democratic Progressive Party, which had very different policies for the governing of the nation and its relations with mainland China and the rest of the world. Examining the change of power between the Clinton Administration and the coming Bush Administration as a result of Campaign 2000 may reveal some interesting information regarding the role of media and the changeover between parties.

Paper Abstract: Discusses studies on uninformed voters; poorly informed & fully informed voting behaviors. Low voter turnout in U.S. Paper Introduction: Democracy and the Informed Voter The political ignorance of the adult American is one of the best-documented features of contemporary politics (Bartels, 194). For example, a 1995 survey conducted for The Washington Post by Harvard University and the Kaiser Foundation found that nearly half of all adults could not answer basic questions about U.S. government, much less specifics about issues and officeholders or candidates (Chavez, 14A). In particular, the survey found that 40 percent of adults could not name the vice president, and almost half failed to identify the speaker of the House (Chavez, 14A). Consequently, many political theorists argue that many voters neither know nor care enough about the democratic process to cast intelligent, informed votes (See Chavez, 14A). They argue that democracy entails more than a willing electorate. Those who vote have a respons Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines problem of low voter turnout in U.S. Reasons/explanations. Voting theory. Suggested reforms of voting process. Paper Introduction: APATHY, INCONVENIENCE AND VOTING The notion of democracy is a sacred one. In its most idealistic sense it is an inclusive idea; a blueprint for a society which will aptly pool the collective will of the citizenry, thereby realizing the dream of a government by and for the people. The most basic tool employed in a democratic state is the election. Voting is the essential proof of democracy, for it is the vote that endows the people with the power to influence the policies and laws which rule the land. The United States of America has been a symbol of democracy since its inception, championing the will of the people above all else. However, an examination behind the façade of democracy in the United States reveals a troubling statistic: the U.S. is 20th out of 21 in voter turnout among the established democracies of the world(Grofman, 1999).

Paper Abstract: History of 2-party presidential campaigns. Concerns of Founding Fathers. Ideological factions. Problems of the system. Paper Introduction: As the merits of the new American Constitution were defended in the pages of The Federalist Papers (1787-8), Alexander Hamilton and James Madison collectively warned against the perils of domestic faction in paper numbers IX and X, respectively. A well-constructed Union, it was held, would be one in which the ability to “break and control the violence of faction” was firmly developed.1 Faction, by definition a divisive entity, would cripple the democratic governing process if it was not contained; historically, “a zeal for different opinions…concerning government…have divided mankind into parties, inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other than to co-operate for their common good.”2 Clearly, such divisions were not desired in a fledgling nation committed to progress and longe Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines constraints on Nixon when he came to power, his political appointments, legislative initiatives, and the reasons for his failure during the first 100 days of his administration. Paper Introduction: INTRODUCTION In first year of the Clinton presidency, much has been made of the need for the new president to set his agenda and achieve as much as possible during the so-called "honeymoon" period when the press and the Congress are supposedly more accepting, more supportive, and more ready to encourage the new administration. Every president is thought to have such a period when the country is behind him, a period that in truth lasts varying lengths of time but which may be thought of as the first 100 days or so of the new administration. An analysis of the presidency of Richard Nixon will show what use he made of this period, how effective he was at setting and communicating his program, and how effective he was at starting to get that program passed.

Paper Abstract: In a national poll, more than a year into the Clinton presidency, it was shown that Ross runs dead even with the current president, and he is followed by Senator Bob Dole. Perot's political future remains bright. Paper Introduction: A national poll more than a year into the Clinton presidency shows that H. Ross Perot runs dead even with the president in a hypothetical head-to-head race. What is more, over forty-five percent of those polled said they would consider voting for Perot for president, an increase of fourteen percent since Clinton's inauguration. Finally, in a head-to-head race with Kansas Senator Bob Dole, Perot would defeat Dole by ten percentage points. These results show that, despite questions about his performance in the 1992 election campaign (more than half of those polled responded that they saw Perot as "naive, scary, and a little too much of a dictator"), the Texas billionaire's political future remains bright. Sixty-seven percent of Americans have a favorable impression of him, nearly half have more Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines the idea of 'imperial' presidency in the US. Looks at tools & groups (such as media, NSC, & CIA) president uses to affect policy. Gulf war, George Bush, & Ronald Reagan are used as examples. Paper Introduction: The Imperial Presidency According to Lowi and Ginsburg, the legitimate powers of the Presidency are well defined within the parameters of the Constitution. In general, there are supposed to be no presidential powers that exist independently of congressional support. In addition, an electoral base independent of Congress must elect the President (Lowi & Ginsburg 1994: 206). In point of fact, imperial qualities are legally inherent in the office of President, by virtue of the obligation of commander in chief, the power to grant reprieves and pardons, and the power to receive ambassadors and other chiefs of state (Lowi & Ginsburg 1994: 208-212). In essence this lifts the President above the level of his or her fellow citizen, as far as responsibility goes. Also are the legally mandated responsibilities of Article II, Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Impact of rain on turnout, motor voter bill, causes of low turnout. Paper Introduction: INTRODUCTION Voter turnout should be lower on days with inclement weather because people are reluctant to go out in the rain to vote. However, this may not be the case, and indeed this may not be an issue which can be determined with any certainty, given the number of variables involved. Very few studies deal with the issue, though the public and the press seem to believe that bad weather means low voter turnout. Voter turnout has been declining for some time. Turnout seems best for presidential elections, which might be expected because of the higher level of interest in that election over off-year elections, state and local elections, and special elections. Presidential elections are analyzed and debated for a long time before election day and are also accompanied by huge expenditures on advertising and Read the Entire Essay.

The McCain-Feingold bill is designed to remedy partially the defects in the present scheme for regulating federal campaign contributions and spending by curbing some of the abuses revealed in recent campaigns.

Paper Abstract: Asseses Senate Bill 1219 & obstacles to passage. Background, need for, politics, constitutionality, provisions, goals, bipartisan support, interest groups. Paper Introduction: Campaign finance reform continues to be a current policy issue of concern to President Clinton, and one that is on his public agenda. Congress has spoken out in favor of the need for reform, but little has been accomplished legislatively. Public opinion appears to be in favor of campaign finance reform, but the issue has failed to generate the kind of enthusiasm needed to push a reform bill through Congress. Senate Bill 1219, a tough bipartisan campaign finance reform bill, was introduced in the Senate by Senators John McCain (R-Arizona), Russell Feingold (D-Wisconsin), and Fred Thompson (R-Tennessee). Although it represents a critically important breakthrough in the fight to clean up the corrupt campaign finance system in Washington, it has not seen much success. The issue of campaign finance reform (and its corollary Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Examines reasons Carter lost & Reagan won. Styles, personalities, political rhetoric, issues, voter responses. Paper Introduction: In the 1980 presidential elections, Ronald Reagan trounced incumbent president Jimmy Carter in the biggest defeat of a president since Franklin D. Roosevelt overwhelmed Herbert Hoover in 1932. Though the American economy was in poor shape in 1980, the problems did not begin to approach the scale of the Great Depression, for which Hoover had been blamed. Nor can President Carter's ill-timed problems with foreign affairs receive all of the blame for his defeat. These factors played major roles in the election, but it was the sharp contrast between the candidates, in terms of ideas, images and campaigns, that resulted in the defeat of an incumbent president, and the election of one of the most popular leaders in American history. In all of these areas, Carter's failures were met by Reagan's successes. Carter was trapped by his 1976 campaign promises, Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Theoretical & empirical exploration of three ways that identification with group (religious, economic, political) increases individual's likelihood of voting. Paper Introduction: THE ROLE OF GROUP IDENTIFICATION ON A VOTER'S DECISION TO CAST A BALLOT Introduction This paper develops and defends the notion that group identification increases the likelihood that an individual will decide to vote (as opposed to deciding not to vote) in any given election. The notion is developed and defended on both theoretical and empirical grounds. The paper itself can be divided into three sections. The first section offers a brief delineation of the Rational Choice and Collective Action models of political/voting behavior, justifying their use in the development of the group identification/decision-to-vote relationship on the grounds that they have been frequently used as explanative frameworks for Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines 1996 Dole & Clinton campaign as set of strategic marketing problems & opportunities. Paper Introduction: This paper is a comparative study of two contrasting marketing approaches with the same goal: to get one particular individual elected as president of the United States in 1996. This study focuses on the ways in which Bob Dole and Bill Clinton's respective campaign planners have decided to position their candidates to appeal to the average, middle of the road voter, especially the voter who is likely to be able to be influenced to vote for a particular candidate or issue, regardless of party affiliation. The campaign represents a rare opportunity to see marketing designs at work in a situation in which preconceived notions of "Democrat" and "Republican" are not as strongly at work as they usually are in American politics. It also demonstrates marketing responses to a situation in which most experts already agree that Clinton will win, regardless of Read the Entire Essay.

In general, both conventions were gigantic duds to which the public largely tuned out because of the conventions' pre-programmed and banal nature and the lack of any real excitement or lively debate at them on the issues. The most interesting personalities to emerge at the conventions were not the presidential candidates whose views were well-known, but Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Introduction: GREENBACK PARTY This research paper discusses the origins, fate and significance in American history of the Greenback Party in the 1870s and 1880s. The Greenback Party, sometimes called the Independent or the Greenback-Labor Party, was a third political party. It peaked in political influence in the late 1870s and later merged into the populist movement. It represented a constellation of forces called 'greenbackism,' which was primarily composed of intellectuals, labor and agrarian interests, and which advocated soft money policies during the difficult economic period which accompanied the rapid industrialization of the United States after the end of the Civil War. As a political movement, it failed because of internal divisions, lack of funding and the unwillingness of the American Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Analyzes 1996 presidential candidate's 15 percent tax cut offer, pros & cons & reasons for rejection by voters & economists. Paper Introduction: Introduction No one enjoys paying taxes of any type, although they are now an unavoidable fact of American life. Income taxes did not exist until the early part of this century; for more than half of this nation's history, the government was financed without taxing the income of individuals. When that changed, the political landscape changed as well. Politicians now had to justify the spending programs which the taxes went to support (originally, the income tax paid off World War I), and the role of government began to change. The Internal Revenue Service is now a labyrinthine bureaucracy with complicated codes and rules which most Americans find confusing. For years, any politician who called for a decrease in income taxes was likely to find immediately support among voters. However, when presidential candidate Bob Dole called f Read the Entire Essay.
