Obama's plan
Barack Obama has a new plan in mind about how we are going to stop losing monye and make our country a better one. At a conference last week, he went into great detail in describing the plan, and repeatedly told everyone in attendance to vote for it. The fact that he made such a big deal about it shows the importance of popular sovereignty: without the popular vote, Obama's plan can not possibly come into fruition. Also, the popular vote decides who is elected to represent each state, and who shares in opinions with the most people, although voting for president does not follow this model. It also shows the power of limited government because even though he is the president, he is still unable to do whatever he wants and make his own laws and things. Lastly, the concept of separation of powers is shown through the president, who is head of the executive branch, is asking for the help of the legislative branch to get a law passed.
