Midway through the last century, following two world wars and the first
use of nuclear weapons, citizens from around the world decided that it
was time to put an end to militarized international conflict. They
envisioned and worked toward the goal of building a democratic,
secular, republican, federal system of government in which the people

at which their interests are at stake.
In
today’s globalized world, it is increasingly evident that the current

What About Political Parties?: Political parties exist primarily as a vehicle to elect persons of certain political persuasions to government offices. Their functions, however, do not necessarily end there. Regardless of whether or not its candidates are actually elected to government, a political party can have value simply as a structure around which an unfocused movement can coalesce, broadcast its message, and gradually exert itself as a social force...
