More Laws Less Justice

[Keith Broaders]

Since Comgress first met on March 4th in 1789 Congress has passed over 30,000 Federal Laws and/or statutes for an average of 128 legslative acts per year. I wonder how much legislation would have been passed if we didn't have a limited government?

The House of Representatives has averaged 146.7 "legislative days" a year since 2001 During that period Congress passed an average of nearly one bill per day.

John Adams, James Madison and James Monroe each issued just one Executive Order while FDR issued 3,721

By General Orders No. 141, September 25, 1862, Lincoln subjected protestors to martial law and the suspension of habeas corpus. The suspension of habeas corpus was one of Lincoln's most controversial decisions.
Executive Order 9066

On February 19, 1942, FDR issued Executive Order 9066, which led to the forced relocation of approximately120,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast.

More than two-thirds of these people were native born American citizens. They were confined in inland internment camps operated by the military.
