State Compacts Vs. Emergency Powers, Ann Melise Mullins
State Compacts Vs. Emergency Powers, Ann Melise Mullins
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
It has been a continuous battle between state governments and the federal government on which party is best suited to provide relief and aid to citizens in times of natural disasters and public health crises. This paper will analyze the history of the state and federal government’s involvement in providing aid and relief in times of national crises, as well as the Constitutional provisions for which party should take responsibility.

Influences Of Social Media, Samuel Whatley Ii
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
The Internet is a double-edged sword because it provides easy access to information of both good and bad intentions. Censorship justifications under whoever deems something misinformation, provide little oversight on being a neutral public forum. For instance, the influence of elections by not covering a story and censoring opposing views does not promote the notion of being a neutral public forum. Artificial intelligence being applied to many technological applications have fueled the censorship machine. In some instances, artificial intelligence can generate stories to media sites (i.e., ChatGPT) with no verification of the details. From science fiction to science reality, taking …
Citizenship, Constitutionalism And Democracy, Daniel Fodorean
Citizenship, Constitutionalism And Democracy, Daniel Fodorean
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
Romania, a former communist and monarchical country, can serve as a case study regarding how different forms of government have influenced the understanding and application of citizenship. How the citizen was understood and how citizenship was acquired or lost reflects the values that have been the basis of Romanian society at every stage of its evolution since the establishment of the Romanian state, in 1859, until now. The assumption is that each of the seven constitutions that Romania had, expresses citizenship in a specific way, associated with the form of government.
The Duality Of Machiavellianism In Regard To Modern Political Philosophy, Rebekah Honaker
The Duality Of Machiavellianism In Regard To Modern Political Philosophy, Rebekah Honaker
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
The principles of human nature and a realist system of governance irrevocably clash in Niccolò Machiavelli’s most profound works despite his personal convictions remaining seemingly steadfast. Yet, the term ‘Machiavellian’ reflects a relatively one-sided delineation of ideas proposed by the early modern political philosopher. His principles on constructing and maintaining absolute power through corruption, immorality, provocation of fear, coercion, and a general natural human depravity are far more often associated with his legacy on modern politics. However, many alternative principles of republicanism, self-governance, popular sovereignty, and balance of power have a significant presence in his career. Many scholars view the …

Removing A Log From The Nation’S Eye: A National Self-Analysis Of The Domestic Terrorism Question, Katherine R. Doan
Removing A Log From The Nation’S Eye: A National Self-Analysis Of The Domestic Terrorism Question, Katherine R. Doan
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
Terroristic values are easy to be ascribed to foreign enemies, but it is far more difficult to admit that domestic citizens could be extremist to the point of being labeled a terrorist. Terrorists are not born; they are made. The following research focuses on the commonalities of upbringing in known domestic terrorists within the United States of America that may reveal noticeable similarities in education, radicalization, and identity. The criminal justice system has yet to discover a perfect method of administering retribution to terrorists. While they have broken the law, their intentions and results are not the same as an …
Examining The Effects Of Student Loan Forgiveness And The Christian Perspective, Sarah Rogers
Examining The Effects Of Student Loan Forgiveness And The Christian Perspective, Sarah Rogers
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
On August 24, 2022, President Joe Biden announced his plan for federal student loan forgiveness. The program allows individuals who make less than $125,000 a year and families under $250,000 relieve up to $10,000 of their loan debt. Those who fall under the Pell Grant program are able to relieve up to $20,000 of their debt. The reactions to this “revolutionary” program were mixed. Typically, those who the program would directly affect were very enthusiastic about this idea while those, most notably Republicans, were less than thrilled. While the idea is good in theory, the execution of debt forgiveness will …

The Next Small Step, Samiya Henry
Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium
As of right now, NASA and other space programs are estimating that by 2026, there will be people living in Space. Whether it be the Moon or Mars, one cannot have a functional society without a proper source of laws, especially since no one country has ownership over space. "One Small Step" will produce this source of laws, called the “Space Bill of Rights,” that will outline important matters like the trade of resources, medical care, government officials, and will ensure the preservation of our physical and figurative footsteps in space. This Space Bill of Rights is made up of …

The Declaration Of Independence, Constitution, And Slavery, Johnny B. Davis
The Declaration Of Independence, Constitution, And Slavery, Johnny B. Davis
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
The paper address the nature of the principles of the Declaration and the Declaration's relationship to the Constitution and how these related to slavery. The argument is that the Declaration did stand for universal equality of the individual before God and the law and therefore its principles condemned slavery. The Constitution did not embrace slavery even though it failed to ban slavery but did set the foundation for the end of slavery.

Constitutional Hinderance, Dena Wake
Constitutional Hinderance, Dena Wake
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
According to media outlets, the federal government has become the poster child for “Failure to Help the States” during this present crisis. It is nearly impossible to find an article or news segment that does not blame the federal government for the current pandemic. If the media is correct in blaming the federal government then why doesn’t the federal government just take over all COVID-19 related problems throughout the nation that would make everything easier according to the media. There are countless reasons why the federal government can’t take over, the ultimate reason being the Constitution, the law of the …

The Constitution, Covid-19, And Civil Disobedience: Federalism In Flames And The Slippery Slope To Socialism, Savannah Snyder
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
Our Constitution has been devastatingly corrupted from its original design and vision amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Governors usurped authority in the name of crisis mitigation. Our unalienable rights have been macerated and pulverized by droves of executive orders, each delivering a calamitous blow to the integrity of the American republican framework. Socialized medicine is on the horizon as our compliance is coerced. Conventional civil disobedience has been regulatorily revoked. We have succumbed to the decrees of depraved men who maintain that education, religious expression, and pursuits of happiness can be invalidated by whatever transgressions the state deems necessary. For the …

How Unfettered Emergency Powers Have Led To The Disregard Of The Rule Of Law, Hannah Schanz
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
What a difference a day makes. How much more a month? A year? How different our world looked over a year ago before we knew about the COVID-19 virus. Children casually played on playgrounds during recesses; family and friends gathered at churches, weddings, and funerals; and over 40,000 fans cheered from the stadium as the Washington Nationals won their first World Series. But in March of 2020, dark clouds rolled in under which many Americans have still not felt the sunlight on their uncovered faces. School doors still remain shut. Churches, which were banned from meeting, forbidden from singing, and …
The Varying Interpretations Of The United States Constitution, Joseph Longo
The Varying Interpretations Of The United States Constitution, Joseph Longo
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
The laws of these United States of America are in place to remedy the issues within and against American society by ensuring American’s citizens’ rights are protected against other citizens, organizations, and the government itself.[1] America’s founders gave future generations a framework, the supreme law of the land, to guide the path of the country in a way that they saw just.[2] The U.S. Constitution has been the framework for the American government and society for over 200 years to promote the country the founders of the nation had envisioned. The Constitutional debate today is over how this …
Jus Ad Bellum, Natural Law And The 2003 Invasion Of Iraq, Johnny Davis
Jus Ad Bellum, Natural Law And The 2003 Invasion Of Iraq, Johnny Davis
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
The legality of the invasion of Iraq is a vital question that goes to the heart of international law. The proper legal authority for military force and the overthrow of a sovereign government is the single most important area of international law.[1] This paper will consider whether the invasion of Iraq complied with the original intent of the Founding Fathers for the Constitutional authority to wage war and satisfied the requirements for a Just War under natural law.
Public Reason, Rawlsian Restraint, And The Judiciary: The Influence Of Political Philosophy On Legal Scholars And Judges In Relation To Religious Liberty, Marc A. Clauson
Public Reason, Rawlsian Restraint, And The Judiciary: The Influence Of Political Philosophy On Legal Scholars And Judges In Relation To Religious Liberty, Marc A. Clauson
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
This paper concerns the political theory of public reason in its application to religious freedom issues. Public reason, or its related idea, public justification, is in my estimation, just the latest extension of the problem of religious toleration in its particular relationship to the right of religious liberty. This latest expression of the toleration debate began, by most estimates, with John Rawls’ A Theory of Justice.[1] I will argue that in its Rawlsian form, public reason contains some serious flaws, which can be corrected by the work of political philosophers such as Gerald Gaus, Kevin Vallier and Michael Perry, …
The New Space Policy Regime And Its Financial Foundation, Tamara Campbell
The New Space Policy Regime And Its Financial Foundation, Tamara Campbell
Helm's School of Government Conference - 2021-2024
Post the global financial crisis of 2008, the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) sought to expand the space economy through a public policy of commercialization. This has brought major changes to the composition of space mission funding strategies, now repositioned as public private partnerships (P3s). Formed to fund space missions with private finance in lieu of public funding, P3s are investment and risk-sharing vehicles evaluated by financial intermediary institutions, insurers, and at times, the courts in the case where there is foreign direct investment (FDI) agreement. For this reason, it is arguable P3s have exceptional influence on the scope …

252— The 28th Amendment And How To Improve American Democracy, Sean Burns
GREAT Day Posters
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission was a Supreme Court case that was decided in January of 2010 that caused the balance of power in the democratic nature of the United States to be shifted strongly towards the favor of corporations. The decision was boiled down to the point that since there was no distinction between people and corporations in the First Amendment, corporations could not be restricted in their speech. This paved the way for corporations to donated unlimited amounts of money in favor of political candidates of their choice as long as it was not directly given to …
