Moroccan Government

Political parties in Morocco lists political parties in Morocco.

Morocco has many political since its independence in 1956. In this way the separation of powers from the people that are elected is very well done,even better than the four branch system in the United States, but the king is always the ultimate power ruling over the entire country. However some political posts are not picked by the people, both the post of the Prime Minister and the other ministers are chosen by the King of Morocco, Mohamed the 6th.

Since Morocco considers the Western Sahara a region of its own, the political parties are also there under Moroccan control and authority. The power chain goes like this, from the most power on top to the least power on the bottom:

• The King/ Mohamed the 6th with 100% power
• Makhzen/ translated into English it means governement and it is the people that work directly with the king
• Prime Minister/ Abbas El Fassi was elected into the post of Priminister when he was elected by the magority of the parliament, from his experimental regional parties.
• Parliament/ There are two seasons when these people are elected every four and eight years depending on the season. People in the parliament that are elected for a four period long job are elected in the summer directly by the votes of the people. From each region there are five experimentalist that are elected. These five that are elected can be from the same political party if they have almost all or most of the votes, if not there could only be one or two or three depending on the amount of votes the people send to the political parties. Each political party has a list of people that are running for the parliament, and at the top there are the ones that pass first. One must understand that each region has the same competing political parties, but not between regions but rather withing regions. As for the parliament that runs for an eight year long period, they have to be elected first represent the place and the people they live by, this is usually a circle with a six kilometer radius. When they are elected by the people that they represent, they need to get a confirmation by the government in Rabat that they will run for the parliament, but this time each region will only have one list of running people for the parliament, and the same rules apply except at this point it is not the people that vote who will pass to the parliament but rater the ones representing the people.
• Assembly of Councils/ Some of the people in the assembly of representatives that get the confiration by Rabat but do not pass to the parliament get a higher rank than the representatives, but still about the same jobe. They work a nine year term.
• Assembly of Representatives/ As I said earlier these are the people that represent the people that they live by at a six kiloliter radius circle.

The government of Morocco is absolutely fabulous except for one thing, this is that there are still bribes being given by all the forms of goverment to the people to elect them, and from all the people to the govement officals to help them out. The smallest of the bribes go to the police.

The summary was taken from Wikipedia.

Politics

Hamiltonians admired the way England ran its government and wished to do the same. He did not consider the common people as capable to vote, so there were hight voting qualifications. He also

strengthened the central government, and wanted an expanding bureaucracy. And sometimes did restricted the the press.

Jeffersonians was a totaly different man, who favored a form of government that was more democratic than that of England, and who thought that common people sould also vote. He also conserved state rights and reduced the number of federal officeholders. Unlike Hamilton, he did not care about the media. As he was first vice president he had to follow the example of George Washington, but he also had the chance to become allies of Great Brittan and France. These were some hard times.

A political party is an organization that tries to gain political power.

In March 4th 1801 Thomas Jefferson was elected as third president of the United States of America. On January 8 1802 a convention between the United States and Brittan regarding the treaty of 1794 is concluded, and as a result the United States owes Brittan 2, 664, 000 citizens, and on April 14 the notorious natruralization laws of 1798 are replaced. On the day of December 5th 1804 Jefferson is officially reelected as president and his vice president was George Clinton.

ORGANIZATION IS THE KEY TO EVEY THING

Obama pressured about Afghanistan

As more and more soliders in Afghanistan die, Obama is coming closer to taking a dicision about what to do. He has already met up with Rpublicans and Democrats to try and look for a solution. The idea is to bring in more millitary troops to overcome the taliban and win the love of the Afgan peopole. The comander of the U.S foreces has already sent out 40,000 more people to serve in the war. Not everyone agrees about this strategy; Senator John McCain said: “I’m very convinced that General McChrystal’s analysis is not only correct but should be employed as quickly as possible." This opinion is not shared by everyone that is of politics as president Obama says that they are making great progress in to disturb dismantel, and defete the Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. I personally think that anything to done to stop an evil force is a good the to do.

I believe that everything written in the Bill of Rights is important. What is most important to me is everything that has to do with personal regards. Everything that has to with religion, and the right to speak freely is most important for me. I think the Bill of Rights was not written in such order randomly, but rather in the form of most important to least important. I agree with the organization of the Bill of Rights because it first talks about personal things which are most important to me and at last talks about more general things like criminal acts etc. I don't really have a reason why one is more important than the other to me, but my instinct tells me to be this way. And if I were to put a list to the most important, it would be the following:

1.Natural Rights 2.Rights to self-determination 3.Right to revolution
4.Social Contract
5.Popular sovereignty

how the colonists were able to defeat the greatest world power of their time.

The following led to the defeat of the greatest world power there was.

After the French and Indian war. Effects upon colonists:

• gain military experience and confidence


• sans need for colonial unity to overcome problems


• less dependence on British armed troops

Effect upon the British:

• believed that the colonists had not help enough in the war

General outcome:

• only use British and colonial ships


• specific materials could only be sold to Britain (tobacco, sugar, indigo, and furs)


• import only from Britain or pay duty on foreign goods.

New taxes and laws created by Egeland:

• sugar act(1764): reduced existing Texas on import from Caribbean but made tax collection very strict.


• Stamp act(1765): first internal tax. One had to purchase stamps (pay tax) to put on printed materials like Wales, newspapers, etc.


• Townshend act(1767): Britain put new taxes on import of paper, glass, paint, and tea.


• Proclamation of 1763: King George the third declared that colonists could no longer settle west of Apollonichin Mountains.


• Quartering act of 1765: the law required colonists to provide British soldiers with food and living quarters when requested.

Outcome by the colonists:

• stamp acts Congress(1765): delegates from nine colonies met in NY to create plan to stand against the stamp act.


• Colonists asserted they posessed rights of Englishmen.


• They agreed that they could only be taxed by colonial legislatures and not by the Parliament.


• Colonial boycott of British goods.

Boston tea party:

• colonial merchants who had smuggled tea from Holland to avoid tea taxes now could not compete.


• Colonists sunk barrels of tea into the ocean to symbolize their resistance against the law.

The outcome of everything:

• as an outcome tension grew more and more between New England and Great Britain which led to conflict. Soon the colonists had enough of all the new laws and new taxes that have to be paid and wanted to become independent. As some papers were written about the King and how he was unfair, the colonists of New England decided to become independent from New England. By the time the Second Continental Congress convened on May 10, 1775, war had already broken out in Massachusetts. Battles had been fought between Massachusetts soldiers and British military forces in the towns of Lexington and Concord. War had not been declared, but citizen soldiers were ready to fight. The British decided to use Hessian soldiers to fight against the colonists. They were mostly German mercenaries who would fight for money. The colonists feared these soldiers and hated Britain for using them.Washington decided to attack.The French were supplying the colonists with what they needed for the war, but all was done in secret.In 1779 Spain decided to be in the war against the British. Soon the British were also fighting the Dutch to stop their trade with America. The war was over. Colonial and French forces had captured or killed half of the British armey. The surviving British troops left Yorktown singing a song called, "The World Turned Upside Down."
