California Proposition 56: Case Study

The city is going to see a significant drop in revenue, with this bill. New York City has the highest cigarette tax rate in the United States with the minimum price for per pack of cigarettes in the city is $10.50. The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, illustrate that of the minimum amount, $1.50 of that goes to the city of New York and $4.35 is taxed by the state of New York. It is clear these administrations will see a hindrance with the deficiency of these sales of raising the age.

Dating back to its admission into statehood, reform has been an undeniable element of California. It could even be argued that many important landmarks in our state history were defined by acts of reform, such as the implementation of direct democracy into its state constitution during the progressive era of the late 19th and early 20th century. In modern California, it could be argued that there has been no greater landmark than the passage of Proposition 140.

I propose that the state of California overturn Prop 209, which had previously removed race, religion, sex, color, ethnicity and national origin as consideration factors for admission to universities for undergraduate learning. Increasing additional students of color who enroll not only expands opportunities but also enhances the educational experiences of white students. Overturning Proposition 209 means there would be an increase in access to higher education for a growing number of students, reflecting a more accurate distribution of the

Many Constitutional proposals are neither accepted or denied depending on how many individuals favor it. The California Proposition 47 was one of the approved proposals. California Proposition 47, the Safe Neighbors and Schools Act, requests felony crimes that are considered not to be serious or violent to misdemeanors and would allow anyone currently serving a felony sentence that meets those qualifications to be resentenced. According to the California General Election Voter Information Guide, the main goal of Prop 47 was to have focus on more heinous crimes and give more to the rehabilitation of the less serious offenders. The money saved by passing this proposition would go

In 2009, Roberts and Trounstein argued that California was "ungovernable" and “our state government did not have the capacity to make timely decision to solve the problems facing our state”. However, California is not ungovernable anymore. In past few years, California has many changes, which affect on the state legislature as well as change the ways Californians vote. People can name some changes as “Open” or “Jungle” Primary (Prop. 14), Citizen’s Redistricting Commission (Prop.11), Majority budget (Prop. 25), and enacted the “top-two” open primary. The Governor and the Legislature, in turn, gave up authority to solve problems that are better solved at a regional or community scale. Nowadays, California is one of the model of state government.

The State of California is likely to respond to Chosen One and Trinity Evangelical concurrently, anticipating an argument based off the Sherbert doctrine. First, the State of California could credibly show the law was implemented due to a compelling state interest in order to provide the best possible education to every student they are spending taxpayer money on. For example, the State of California has a significant interest in teaching the students under the watch and care of the California educational system the most current, scientifically accepted, and scholastically appropriate material. This includes students that receive grant money from the state but are receiving their education at a private institution. The state would be failing

Proposition 50 was the only California state proposition on the primary ballot last June. Due to current law, no official can be suspended and stripped of their benefits or salary, causing them to be able to get away with actions they shouldn’t be allowed to get away with. Due to many recent actions involving the issues of suspension Prop 50 was drafted. This proposition was designed to refuse legislative members’ salaries, pensions, or other privileges of their office if they have been suspended by a two-thirds vote from the state legislation. Voting yes would allow the legislature the ability to suspend a member and his pay. It gained bipartisan support on this proposition because of recent events that have shed new light on how corrupt

What would you do if you arrived at work one day and your supervisor told you that you need to increase your productivity?

Cannabis, also known as Marijuana, has been used by humans throughout history for medical, recreational, as well as spiritual purposes. Its fiber, oil, and seed are also refined into products such as hemp oil, wax, rope, cloth, and paper (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 2013, para. 1). With 56% voters overwhelming supported for medical cannabis, California became the first state in the United States to pass Prop 215 in 1996 ensuring the patients and their primary caregivers to “have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purpose” (California Department of Public Health, 2013, Text of Law section, para. 1).

When I first looked at the list of topics given to us for this research paper, I noticed that many of them were about the government here in California. My first reaction was to cross those topics off. I wasn’t born and raised in California, so how could I write about ways to fix our government here. Then I realized maybe an outside opinion is just what California needs. My opinion is unbiased and based entirely on research because I had little knowledge before going through the research process. After learning more about the subject, I believe that Proposition 13 should be amended in a couple different ways. The first, by changing the two-thirds majority vote that is currently required to raise the tax rate,

The Assembly Bill No. 746 Chapter 72 was created to amend Section 32261 of the Education Code. As an extension to the Interagency School Safety Demonstration Act of 1985, this law updates the definition of bullying to include the “post on a social network Internet Web site” (A.B. 746, 2011).
