Essay On Dhar Amendment

The 27th Amendment is very unique in its own specials ways. This amendment was by far the longest an amendment has ever taken to be ratified by congress. The initial proposal was made in 1789, and it took over three hundred years to be ratified, ending in 1992. The 27th Amendment is mainly focused on controlling the salary of the members of congress. This amendment was put into action to make sure the congress is not being paid too little, or too much. This ensures that congressional members do not give themselves pay raises without first letting others vote on the decision.

The Colorado River Basin starts in the Rocky Mountains and cuts through 1500 miles of canyon lands and deserts of seven US states and two Mexican states to supply a collection of dams and reservoirs with water to help irrigate cropland, support 40 million people, and provide hydroelectric power for the inland western United States [1,2]. From early settlement, rights over the river have been debated and reassigned to different states in the upper and lower basin; however, all the distribution patterns lead to excessive consumption of the resource. In 1922, the seven US states signed into the Colorado River Compact, which outlined the policy for the distribution rights to the water [3], however, this compact was written during an exceptionally

Every year, Congress proposes a ton of amendments. Some are reasonable, and some of them are just crazy. The rate of proposed amendments throughout the 1990s is absurd. This roller coaster of a rate went all the way up from 214 in 1990 to only 60 proposes amendments in 1999. So far in the beginning of the 21st century, the country stays steady in the proposing department at around the 70-80 rang according to senate.gov. Needless to say, in 1789, the people proposed 10,431 amendments. But, of course, these insane numbers doesn’t necessary mean anything if they are not passed.

An amendment is brought before congress and it is voted on, then either put into effect or put aside (Schmidt,2017) The process of amending the constitution is not easy and it requires patience and diligence from all involved. There are many opinions that need to be sorted through and the final decision always goes back to what is seen best for all Americans at the time in which they are living. One issue that is worthy to be an amendment right now in the United States is, that American citizens should be able to digitally track their vote for the president of the United

California has always had a warm climate, yet its supply of water has rarely been affected. In 2014 California’s water shortage issue truly began. Due to low amounts of snow in the winter in recent years, California has tried to equal out these shortages by drilling water from underground aquifers. Yet, underground aquifers recharge much slower than surface water sources. California has already made significant drawbacks to attempt to limit the amount of water they use, so these aquifers can recharge. But still resources continue going down and the Central Valley Aquifer’s water level is rapidly declining. Luckily, on April 7, 2017 the drought stage of emergency in California was ended. Yet the issue isn’t truly resolved. Glen MacDonald

Change comes whether we like it or not and amendments are set in place to govern what the founding fathers had not thought was an issue at the time our Constitution was written. Amendments are the process of formally altering or adding to a document. The Constitution restricts what our government is able to do but sometimes new rights and laws need to be made. This allows for our Constitution to fill our needs in the present time as new problems arise. Laws and rules in the amendments are made to form to the citizens for our benefit. If an amendment is proposed it would go to the House of Representatives and the Senate who would vote to add it or not. If they believed it would improve our Constitution then it would be added. Sometimes though they are repealed because they no longer benefit the

The United States of America is responsible for transcending the way government functions. The idea that people have certain inalienable rights that are God given was revolutionary thinking for the era of the founding fathers. There have been many instances throughout American history where we have failed to live up to the founding principles from the Declaration of Independence, of: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness— for all our citizens— but we have also had many moments of inspiration in being trailblazers for freedom when we have lived up to those principles. The founding fathers themselves were flawed as all people are, but it is their system of checks and balances that has been instrumental in deterring any of the three branches government from growing too powerful. They understood that men/women with an unchecked amount of power is dangerous to humanity. Also, they realized that they themselves could not adequately anticipate all events or obstacles in the nations future, and thus, they must have a clause deemed legally capable for change to antiquated portions of the constitution in the form of amendments. There have been over 10,000 proposed amendments to the constitution but only 27 ratified. This leads me to wonder " What are some proposed amendments that I might support?" and, " What are some amendments that I would propose?"

Hundreds of amendments have been proposed but only 27 have been ratified and that includes the Bill of Rights. The first 10 amendments are the Bill of Rights so those were passed shortly after the Constitution was passed. In the past 200+ years there have only been an additional 17 amendments.

Due to the lack of rain in the past few years, and particularly in the last few months, California faces severe drought. This is the worst drought in more than one hundred years. The impact of California drought affects community, agriculture, organic ranchers, and dairy farmers. Because of these facts, the United States must rethink the way it uses water. Californians alone are asked to reduce their water usage by twenty percent to prevent water waste.

Currently California is facing a water shortage. The issue has been addressed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in February. He called for all state agencies to find the way to help in the statewide water shortage. This is California’s third consecutive year of drought and last spring and summer was the worst of the season because it had the lowest amount of water recorded and California’s reservoirs were at their lowest point as well which did not help in the water shortage. Many agencies have been acquired to find possible solutions to the water shortage, the Department of Water Resources has been directed to find solutions to the problem as well as asking people to conserve water.

Overall the Constitution is very outdated. The amendments that might’ve been effective back then need to be revised to make them fit today’s society. You could argue that most of them don’t need to be refined. For example, our freedom of the press, speech and religion. However, I believe that by modifying the amendments can construct a safer and more successful country.

Economically speaking, California depends on an extremely intricate network of water storage and delivery systems to supply the state’s cities, farms, businesses, and environment with sufficient water throughout the year. California’s water supply infrastructure has made it possible for the state to grow and prosper. Its highly seasonable precipitation and the fact that annual runoff can vary from year to year allows the state to move water when and where it is needed (California's Water: California Water Systems).

In the constitution there are 27 amendments/changes. The purpose of the 27 amendments is to change the law to solve new issues that were not around when the Constitution was written. Of the 27 amendments, the first ten, are known as the Bill of Rights which went into effect December 15, 1791. The Bill of Rights guarantees the individual rights of citizens. The constitution; written in 1787 exists to serve the states, protect people, and restrain the government. The constitution replaced the articles of confederation.

Community leaders, California is experiencing the most severe drought in decades, perhaps the worst in the past century. Our current drought has led to fierce wildfires, water shortages and restrictions, and potential loss in the agriculture business. While it has only been four years since the drought began, we have already seen a substantial loss in the body of water California water reservoirs contain. And while hopes for strong precipitation are high, the reality is that we are too deep in our drought to recover with a year or two of strong precipitation. The sad truth is that California uses a vast amount of water each year, varying from public supply and industrial to thermoelectric generators and irrigation systems, all without replenishing

Water scarcity affects every continent on earth. According to the World Health Organization “by 2025 half of the world will be living in water stressed areas”. Water Stressed areas are have less water supply than the demand. now a water stressed area; in 205 Californians cut water usage by 25% in efforts to lower demand. Most water was being used by farmers, these cuts significantly hurt the agricultural field. In addition the drought costed the state six million dollars as well as leading to several wildfires that burned 306,000 acres in 2016 .
