As you know, we are going through the Great Compromise. Congress cannot decide whether or not it is fair to adopt the New Jersey Plan, or the Virginia Plan. This compromise (An agreement with two sides or more, where every side gives up some of what they may want.) is one that potentially will shape the future government. You might be in between the two plans, but after you read this, you’ll know why you should choose the New Jersey Plan. This plan is about having an organized government, and the ideas on what the Congress should have the power to do.…
Even though the bill C-51 is more likely a violation of freedom and can be used as a power of dictatorship, but the purpose of Harper’s government were good: protect Canadian residents from the danger of terrorism, by setting certain groups of people on the watching list, it could reduce the rate of terrorism and crime activities. So people could living in a society which is safer, more peaceful.…

The United States Constitution guarantees individual liberties, but perhaps the most important guarantee is democracy. Everything that exists in the United States, or doesn’t, is because of democracy. Democracy assures that the direction of the country is representative of its citizens. Each state has a constitution in place that outlines their values and priorities, some constitutions are better at fulfilling their goals than others, and some have policies that reflect a minority of the population’s beliefs. In the Spring, the 2017 Florida Constitutional Convention assembled to re-write history. Florida is a great state and a constitution that represents Florida deserves to be just as great. On April 26, 2017 the Constitutional Convention adopted a constitution that begins as a modern day work of art and ends with a fiscal travesty.…
When I was first brainstorming about who will be affected positively or negatively by Proposition 47, the first thing that came to me was budgeting or financing of the proposition. When I searched for that the first link that I came across said that it roughly costs about $50,000 to incarcerate somebody “California’s annual costs to incarcerate an inmate in prison”. When I heard that I was trying to think of that math equation and it came to a massive expense and finding that out it is a reasonable argument that someone could use against proposition 47. When I made myself search for the pros of proposition 47 so that I could inform someone fully about this proposition. Soon after I was searching I found a strong article for proposition 47 which provided good arguments for it.…
Texas is the best state and I dare you to find a flaw with it. Well, alright, I might be a little biased when it comes to deciding upon the best state is in the U. S. of A. I have actually found a small blemish that comes along with the state of Texas. This constitution of Texas is a curse and a blessing and I would love to analyze the structural good and bad of the Executive branch in the state of Texas.…

At one point in time many people were debating whether to ratify the Constitution, people took sides and some were supporters while others were opponents. The supporters and opponents both had major arguments and debates about whether the Constitution should or should not be ratified.…
The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified on July 9th, 1868. It helped grant citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States (Primary Documents in American History).” One of the reasons the amendment was made to help former slaves become citizens after the civil war. They were being denied the right to become citizens after slavery had been abolished. One of the main points in the Amendment was that states can not denounce land, freedom or life from any person or citizen in the United States without a trial. Birthright Citizenship was another major part, as it stated that any person born in the US, a US territory or a US military base or was born abroad to an American citizen who has lived at least 5 years in the US, automatically became a citizen. People who are under oath from another country cannot be in office for any position. The Fourteenth Amendment covers a diverse range of subjects, as it has been cited the most out of any…
Proposition 47 claims it will improve public safety, when in reality it will not. Californian voters should not allow Proposition 47 to pass because it poses a threat to public safety. Among the many reasons why the proposition should not pass are, early release of dangerous felons, the lowering of felony charges to misdemeanor charges, and over-crowded jails and courtrooms. We would not want dangerous felons terrorizing our neighborhoods. As the saying goes, ‘‘if you do the crime, you do the time.’’…
California is no stranger to the larger majority of ethnicities that originate from all over the world. A large portion of the population is accounted for, are immigrants who come from southern countries like Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, etc. Eastern and far eastern countries also divide a minor portion of the population. These immigrated families that come to the United States, come to pursue and hope their children in body the same vision they have, to continue their education. But, for many immigrants, not many can continue a further education past a high school diploma. Many are afraid to continue a path for education due to the cost of college tuition. In October of 2011, The California Dream Act, also referred to as AB540, passed went…

This is a major problem because public schools are being run at the lowest budget possible and dividing the money for charter and traditional schools means everyone is strapped for money. Many educators argue that it is not ethical to take money away from schools that are in need of programs that will benefit student achievement; while others argue that it is not ethical to make students attend failing schools. The infrastructure of charter schools will be different based on state…
