Marbury VS. Madison (1803) The role of the United States Supreme Court, as designed by the U.S. Constitution, is to interpret and further define the laws of our country. In cases where disputes remain unresolved, the U.S. Supreme Court can choose to hear a case, and decide its outcome based on applicable law. This however, can be more difficult than it seems. Judicial review is the power of a court to review a statute, or an official action or inaction, for constitutionality. (1) The case of Marbury v. Madison, (1803) was the landmark Supreme Court decision, which ultimately gave the Supreme Court the power of judicial review. The Marbury v. Madison case began with the changing of Presidential

APUSH Philadelphia Constitution three-fifths compromise

1a. Madison helped the passing of the Constitution by defending ridicule against it. He also supported the Great Compromise about representation in the legislature. He was also able to keep one of the few recollections of the events that happened in the Constitutional Convention. He later agreed that a Bill of Rights was fundamental to the Constitution and said he would do everything in his power to make it happen. b. While many of his peers did not approve of a Bill of Rights, in the end, he agreed that it was fundamental. He argued for any of the changes made in the Constitution even if his fellow Virginians did not agree with them. He even wrote letters to defend the Constitution against ridicule.

Welles Harris The Fiscal Cliff The fiscal cliff refers to an automatic $560 billion in tax increases and spending cuts that would go into effect, beginning in January 2013, to supposedly reduce the US budget deficit. Realistically, these cuts and tax increases would only reduce the national debt by a few percentage points. I believe the Simpson-Bowles Budget Alternative is currently the one of the better plans proffered for our country. This bipartisan plan, created by Alan Simpson, a former Republican senator, and Erskin Bowles, a Democrat who was previously the Chief of Staff under the Clinton administration, achieves debt reduction via tax to cuts ratio of 1:2.

I. Presidents and Prime Ministers 1. Only sixteen countries in the world have a directly elected president, out of the 60 or so countries that have democratic characteristics; the alternative to a president is a prime minister. i. In a parliamentary system, like in Europe, the legislature, not the people, chooses the leader (the prime minister), who in turn chooses the other ministers from parliament members. ii. The prime minister stays in power as long as his supporting party or coalition stays in power, and the voters vote for members of the parliament (usually by party), not for the leader.
