Essay: Different point of view

Test Preparation
1

<p>I approved majority rule:</p>

<p>My thesis:</p>

<p>Majority rule is appropriate in the area of government in the U.S. The governement in the U.S is a democratic-republic where the majority elects officials to make the decisions on how to run the country.</p>

<p>Wrote about checks and balances a bit for the 2nd paragraph</p>

<p>3rd - Congress => Made up of the Senate and the House, from both, officials are elected and those officials draft new laws and the majority rule votes new laws to be passed. These laws are then sent to the President. The president has the option to veto any laws passed by the majority in Congress, keeping congress in check.</p>

<p>4th Paragraph - The president may veto any law passed by Congress (majority vote). Also, the general public's vote suggests how popular the president is, but this is not how the presidency is selected. The public votes electoral college officials in (majority rule) whom then elect the new president. The judiciary branch keeps the president in check as the Supreme Justices (elected by majority rule) may rule any laws ratified by the President and Congress, unconstitutional. </p>

<p>Therefore, majority rule is great based upon the system of checks and balances (or something like that)</p>

<p>Yep, that's basically my essay. A little better maybe, a little worse perhaps. I actually marked by my paragraphs that the 4th paragraph was actually the third, and vice versa. You are indeed allowed to include essay changes through symbolic editing letters (legitamately, so they can't take off for them).</p>

<p>Comments? I had to cut it short, just like everyone else so my conclusion was kinda weak.</p>

2

<p>Does it really suck that bad that no one looks at it? "Ah, my eyes, they've been burned out of their sockets by the shear ignorance of this individual ahhhH!"</p>

<p>(:D)</p>

3

<p>Does no one like my essay?</p>

<p>I wrote about the US gov from the opposite POV. I emphasized the differences between a republic and a democracy, and how the forefathers realized that a democracy with majority rule would not work and how they opted for a republic instead. I said this was specifically outlined in the Federalist Papers No. 8.</p>

<p>i like it, creative, i highly doubt there were many people who chose majority rule to be okay, and the coherncy of your essay sounds good as well, the content using u.s government is also a valid arguement. i like it =)</p>

6

<p>It's good... but is it a bit too narrow? All 3 body paragraphs are about the US government.</p>

7

<p>Good point. I realized after I finished the essay that the helpful little hints about majority in relation to how checks and balances come into play and the little concluding sentence at the end didn't quite bring the essay to a full circle as good as I had hoped. However, I think that because I kept the main theme of majority rule in relation to the U.S government, it should be O.K (ETS loves the government so it should fly, right? :D ).</p>
