In 1789, the first person was elected to become the first president of the United States of America under the Constitution. The first person was Washington. Following Washington years later was the third president, Jefferson. The first few presidents of the United States contributed to establish a stable government after the adoption of the Constitution. They stabilized the government through international affairs and internal affairs.Washington contributed to the stability of the government through internal affairs. One such series of affairs started out through the Hamilton's Fiscal Plan. Because of the Fiscal Plan, which was made to stabilize the economy, was the reason for the Whiskey

The ability to build a family with the person one loves is a blessing. The possibility of this actually happening for some individuals is merely a dream. There are many loving children who dream of the same; to one day have a family of their own. The amount of children waiting for adoption in Florida increases by the day, yet so does the number of qualified parents that have been rejected due to their sexual orientation. In Florida, there is a law that forbids homosexuals from adopting children. This policy is unconstitutional and disagrees with the majority of our nations policies. Because the problem of equal adoption rights for gay/lesbian individuals is so widespread in the United

. If abortion is made illegal, they will have no choice but to give up their lives for their babies. Teen pregnancy is one problem that cannot be solved by making abortion illegal.Many people argue that there are alternatives to abortion like adoption. Many mothers give up their children in an attempt to regain their "normal" lives. Imagine what the life of those children will be like. Some of them will be tossed around from foster home to foster home. Many don't even get adopted. They go through life thinking that their parents abandoned them. I believe that adoption just allows the parents to pass on their responsibilities to other people instead of taking responsibility

I believe that gay couples should be allowed to adopt children. Sexual preference has nothing to do with how well a person or a couple can raise a child. The foster care and adoption systems of today are overloaded with children in need of a home. Adoption is a gift to couples that cannot have children of their own, or for couples that choose to take in children who need homes. Thus Gay couples should be allowed to adopt children and provide them in a loving home if that is what the couple wishes to do. Gay couples are as capable if not more, to raise children in a loving caring house hold. It is extremely important for children to grow up in stable and loving environments. In a

A mother can choose from abstinence, having the baby and putting it up for adoption, or having the baby and letting others take care of it. The first and most effective option is not to have sex. By keeping oneself sexually inactive, a teen does not have to deal with being a mother this early in her life. The second option is to have the baby and let others care for it.

Although some of the reasoning that pro-life activist use, might seem a little ridiculous at times many of the activist aren't able to have children or are just trying to defend a baby that can't defend it self. The pro's of pro-life are that the baby gets a chance to live and experience life outside of the womb and maybe someone who is unable to have children will get the chance to be a mother or father if they adopt this child who would have been aborted.

A touchy topic these days is whether or not the option should be open for adopted children to be able to locate their biological parents. There are some many circumstances for each different case that it is hard to know where exactly I stand on this topic. Over all, I do not think that you should locate your biological parents.There are many reasons for this. For one thing, learning information on the person who gave you up is a long drawn out process. It can be very emotionally painful, as well. For whatever reason you were given up for adoption; death, financial problems, to young, etc it¹s private information and should remain that way.

The result of Truman trying to assert his authority was the adoption of a more openly hostile attitude towards the Soviet Union. He was also very suspicious about Stalin's aim and political ideas.Firstly, it was because they both had very different political systems. The US was a very democratic and capitalist country, but on the other side, the USSR had the communist system. The idea of communism meant economical corruption to Truman and American people.

Juno is an adolescent teen who attends high school, her actions in the movie shows that she is not ready to become a mother. Her personality is humorous and sarcastic for example she would make jokes about her baby bumpIt is often argued that if teens are mature enough to have sex they are mature enough to raise a child and they should be able to take full responsibility for their actions. I strongly disagree with this statement due to the fact that raising a child takes a lot of preparation. It shouldn't be known as consequence of a mistake. Having a child should be a blessing and a happy moment for the parents not a burden.

Report on the Ratification DebateOriginally, it was agreed that the Constitution should be communicated to the governing body of each state, and when ratified by nine states, Congress should prepare for implementation. It was immediately circulated, and enthusiastically received with favor.The Constitution was welcomed by farmers, mechanics, and merchants. Soon, however, the newspapers together with the views of men eminent for ability, honesty, and patriotism, were against its adoption; and they won support from others. Therefore, the country became divided into two great parties: one, called the Federalists, composed of those who were in favor of the ratification of the Constitution; the

Sadly, many people do not seem to comprehend the seriousness of this situation. If the girl doesn't want to keep the child there are other ways of giving it up, like putting it up for adoption. At least that way the child still lives and goes to a good home, where the baby can grow up in the world instead of dying.Why doesn't America see abortion as murder?

The Tower's WindowOnce upon a time, in a kingdom where the land was filled with skyscrapers and apartments, badly maintained roads choked with traffic, there lived a couple, a teenager and his girlfriend. They were just out of high school and had barely enough money to survive, so when they discovered they were about to be parents, they knew that they'd have to put the child up for adoption, no matter how much they wanted to keep it.When the child was finally born, she was named Sara. Sara was graced with ten fingers and ten toes, sparkling eyes, distinguished nose and fully functioning brain, everything anyone could ask for, except maybe hair or teeth which would obviously come later.

The basis for the argument resides on the fact that alternative methods are inadequate and that this new form of technology can provide couples with their desire to have their own child as opposed to adopting a child.The problem unique to adoption is that these cases involve an existing child, and in most cases, existing parents. In the words of Barbara Katz Rothman "For every pair of welcoming arms, there is a pair of empty arms. For every baby taken in, there is a baby given up".

The best option for a woman to get rid of her baby is to give it up for adoption. Through adoption, unlike abortion, the baby gets a chance to live and be happy even though it's not with the birth mother. A woman should have her baby no matter what circumstances she is under. Once a lady has her baby in her arms, she will never regret having her child. On the other hand, women who do have abortions do regret getting rid of their child. From my point of view abortion is the cause of most emotionally devastating problem that women face today. The only way to get rid of these problems and save the lives of many is by making abortion illegal.
