Can someone help me write a paragraph about this topic? Discussion Topic
The great economic and social divisions between the North and South in the first
half of the 1800s eventually led to the Civil War. During those prewar years, the
North industrialized, urbanized, and became more reliant on wage labor. In
contrast, the South remained a rural, agricultural society that focused on slavery
to harvest cash crops like cotton and tobacco. Historians have often said that
due to the huge differences between the two regions, the Civil War was
inevitable. What do you think could have been done, if anything, to prevent the
war? Also consider the issue of slavery, which became so central to the
disagreements between the North and South. Could simple compromise or

was ratified. in particular, the contemporary president has

far broader powers than the original constitution contemplated. it is remarkable but true that large-scale changes in

the authority of the president have been brought about

without changes in the constitutional text, but nevertheless

without significant illegality.

this is a paradox. is it not clear that constitutional

changes, if not textual, are illegal? the paradox has considerable relevance to our current thinking about the presidency in particular and about constitutionalism in general.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
