Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. As far back as middle school, I developed a passion for understanding what motivated people to take the political positions they were taking. I wondered why most people couldnt see clear things clearly and why they had to be told what politicians thought and felt. Couldnt they see that for themselves? I also wondered why some people seemed to wait until things happened or unfolded before they began telling everybody why they were better than the other guy at solving the problem. I guess it wasnt until my sophomore year in high school that I began reading more in-depth American history, especially American political history. I became interested in the second Adlai StevensonDwight Eisenhower presidential race. I didnt know anything about politics or economics. All I knew was that we didnt have very much and some other people had lots, lots more. I thought Stevenson was on the side of those that didnt have very much, so obviously, I wanted him to win. Little did I know that he was running against a Republican war hero and that Republicans were trying to paint the Democratic Party as sellouts because of their 1948 and 1952 platforms on racial desegregation. I had no idea that everything said in a presidential campaign didnt have to be the truth. I didnt think these grown men would lie just to win a job. Of course, I had lots of growing up to do. So from that point forward, I committed myself to the pursuit of truth in politics. I found that uncovering the truth about the American political process in the twenty-first century was far more than just a notion, and theres still lots left to do.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is a searing account of the contradictions and historical complexities of the Electoral College. It is particularly focused on the negative impact the Electoral College has had on Black and Brown voters.I was an Adjunct Political Science Professor in the Political Science Department at North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina from 2006 through 2013. My primary area of focus was 'Media Politics' but my favorite course was American Government. Teaching this course gave me an opportunity to see that my students were grounded in the fundamentals and operations of our government - 'The Why's and How's of American Government'. There was no shortage of primary text books for American Government but I found myself continually searching for a supplemental text to augment my particular approach to the subject. Having graduated from HBCUs and PWIs in both undergraduate and graduate studies I wanted to ensure that our students at North Carolina Central University were keenly aware of their places in American government, and how certain portions of American government were designed around and directed particularly towards their ancestors. Obviously I never found the exact supplemental text I was looking for, so I decided to write my own. So here it is - 'The Electoral College and the Black and Brown Vote'. In preparing for this book I discovered that most Americans know very little about the system they use to select the leaders that will govern them, and that those that continue to harbor slaveocracy tendencies are working hard to keep the Electoral College as it is. In all things political we should start with the authorization - 'where is the authority found for what we're doing or professing to do '. Some call this the 'enabling legislation'. In this case the enabling legislation for the Electoral College is the 12th Amendment to the Constitution. In this book I examine the 12th Amendment from the prospects of the presidential election, and the responsibilities of the various states, electors and voters. I talk about the Amendment's effect on large states and small states, and a large portion of the book is devoted to the Amendment's impact on Black and Brown voters. This is a book for all people; students, teachers, regular citizens, and voters and non-voters. We must fully understand our electoral system if we want to ensure that it is as fair and efficient as it could possible be.…
