Thomas Jefferson the President
. The Constitution's original framers, including John Adams, James Madison and Jefferson himself, displayed the foresight and almost prescient sense of prudence they are now hailed for when drafting the document, anticipating circumstances in which future generations may find it necessary to alter or adjust particular provisions. Jefferson predicted the need for continual reappraisal of document's central tenets, stating in a 1789 letter to Madison that "every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19 years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force and not of right" (Havens & Dering). Thus the entirety of Article V of the U.S. Constitution explicitly provides measures for the proposal and ratification of amendments to its original text, stating unequivocally that "the Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution … which … shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states" (U.S. Const. art. V). In laymen's terms the legal language found in Article V simply puts forth a workable scheme for the proposal, consideration and eventual ratification of potential Constitutional amendments by enabling both houses of the Congress to devise improvements to the document and empowering each state's legislative body to vote in affirmation or denial.
The risks of epidural anesthesia in normal vaginal delivery outweigh the benefits
Anesthesia is a part of general medicinal practices that are commonly employed in present times. Its vital purpose is to reduce the pain/discomfort during surgery or any pain inflicting procedure under medical scenario. Furthermore, Epidural anesthesia is one of the most familiar types of anesthesia that are being performed currently. It plays a significant role in reducing pain experienced by women during labor and childbirth; however, it encompasses several risks that cannot be disregarded at any cost. Usage of epidural in normal vaginal delivery is one of the current controversies in the field of medicine. Nonetheless, a discussion/debate related to its potential risks and benefits are presented in the paper. Furthermore, the stance discussed and concluded in this research paper concerning the issue is that an epidural poses great risks to the overall health of mother and baby and fundamentally outweighs its benefits; therefore, it should not be used specifically in the process of childbirth.
