POLITICAL PHILOSOPHER ALEXIS de TOCQUEVILLE JAMES MADISON

“The effect of [a Representative Democracy is] to refine and enlarge the public views, by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens, whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of the nation.”

- James Madison

"The position of the governor in an American state. His relation to the legislature. His right and duties. His dependence on the people."(Tocqueville 41)

GOVERNMENT FUNCTION Representative Government is the ideal type of

Government.

Government Function is Constitutionalism, one person or group of people should not have too much power.

Ideal type of government, because citizens will have freedom, morally set rights and be protected from a totalitarian type of government.

PREAMBLEWe the People of the Tycoon’s Nation are Determined,

To maintain order in a just and righteous way,

To promote the involvement of The People rich and poor,

To establish and keep the law under the hands of The People,

And for these ends,

To give The People an equal chance in the way one lives in this society,

To make sure that every person of every type is aware of the government actions,

To keep freedom by allowing The People to voice their vote over issues concerning the Federal, State and Local Government.

LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

Similarities: BicameralDifference: There will be more requirements

for each delegate.Reason why: We feel that someone

represented the Tycoons’ Nation should have some type of Degree and experience.

Judicial BranchSimilarities: Both nations want the people to be

trialed fairly.Difference: Taxes will finance high experienced

lawyers, for the people, regardless of their economy status.

Reason why: Economic status shouldn’t determine how people are trialed, we noticed that at times it has been the case in the United States.

Executive Branch Similarities: The Tycoon’s Nation and the United States

executive branch are similar because they both believe in having a president.

Difference: The President will be allowed three-terms and shorten the years they serve from four years per term to three years.

Reason why: If the people became discontent with the president than they could choose not to re-elect him and shorten his presidential period.

Education System Similarities: Will maintain the traditional pre-school, elementary,

middle, and high schools.

Difference: We will be adding school years, more mandatory tests, and making government awareness mandatory. In hopes to have the people of the Tycoons’ Nation more politically involved.

Reason why: James Madison said, "A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to Farce or Tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives.“(Web)

Healthcare System Similarities: Our constitution and the U.S. constitution in regards of

the health care system, is that both will maintain the same system, because both strongly agree in taking care of the people.

Difference: We will require all citizens to be covered for health. Each citizen must have insurance or qualify for the Nation’s help. Prices of insurance will be lowered, so that it may be more affordable to the citizens.

Reason why: Our main objective is to provide quality health care at an affordable price to our people.

Immigration System Similarities: We strongly agree in allowing immigrants to come in to the

Nation as long as they meet the requirements. Current President Obama once said, "We didn’t raise the Statue of Liberty with her back to the world, we did it with her light shining as a beacon to the world…generations of immigrants have made this country into what it is. It’s what makes us special.“(Web)

Difference: We will have a stricter system to protect our borders. The process for Naturalization will require a longer process.

Reason why: According to the U.S. Customs and Border protection, there are millions of people being used in human trafficking, by having a higher border protection we will stop all illegal activities from happening in the Tycoon’s Nation.
