Join The Texas Congressional Race

By Robert Roberts


To satisfy hunger, man initially gathered together to form hunter groups. This was because the male physique met the labor requirements. The physique enabled the males to build homes and villages which the defended. Capturing game and domesticating wild beasts were also done by them. The females were relegated to looking after the children. They cook the food and fed the young ones. Assisting the male in performing chores was a role that was played, although often guarded by males they gathered fruits and berries. The individual families usually formed into little groups and appointed a leader. Modern times have changed and today people watch and observe the Texas congressional race.

Humans always group together to find comfort and to do things together. The smallest unit of society is the family. Man is engaged in so many activities that sometimes it cannot be done alone. Social groupings emerged out of this necessity. And as the population grew, some type of coordination had to be made to make order out of chaos. Thus was born politics.

These tribes congregated to become communities and progressed into much larger ones known as cities. As activities became numerous and more difficult, synchronization became apparent to make production more efficient. Society became political units with one person or more persons coordinating the populace actions. This is the beginnings of politics.

The origin of politics started with a group protecting itself from another group. This is commonly known as warfare. Taking other the resources of other people was a common occurrence in everyday life during the ancient time. Weak conglomerations bonded together with other to form a stronger group even in numerical aspect only. This is to fend off marauding peoples.

Successful early civilizations were led by kings. Allegiance to the king was the duty of citizenry. The king was the absolute ruler and the powers that resided with the position were passed on to first born kin. Succession rights generated conflicts between blood relatives and among nations since time immemorial. This was exacerbated by princes and princesses of one nation marrying those of another. A practice that was common during those early days.

The old civilizations were constantly at war with each other over resources and boundaries that each possessed. This was so true with the civilization of Egypt, Babylon, Assyria and Persia. Europe during the middle age was ruled by kings. As population grew more resources were needed to satisfy the demand of the people. More labor was need to till the land. This led to the subjugation of one nation by another.

Towards the end of eighteenth century an upheaval occurred as pioneering thinkers began to rationalize the divine right of kings. This resulted in the French revolution. With the success, the revolutionists tried to export the ideas. Wars broke out as other monarchies resisted the ideas. Continental Europe was afire pitting one nation against a coalition of others. Kingdoms faltered against the might of armies led by le petite corporal.

Concurrent with the time of revolutionary fervor, one country far away from the other across the oceans was undergoing an upheaval of its own. This cacophony of individual states decided to join together as one and seceded from the mother country. The thirteen colonies agreed to appoint the leaders from the ordinary citizenry through elections. The birth of this nation was also the birth of democracy.

Nations succeed or fail on who leads them. In the modern era great leaders have emerged out of the elections process especially in the Western Hemisphere. The declaration of Independence produced great thinkers and doers have led this nation during peacetimes and in war. The first president who consolidated the nation after it freed itself of colonization was a common citizen. Along the way and up to the present, the leader of this nation is also the de facto leader of the free world.
