New Laws For The United States

The best politicians out there, are often not the ones that have the best ideas, but rather the ones that can trick and then steal the hearts of their audiences. The people of the world will often support and vote for the candidate with the story that impacts them the most. The stories the candidates say may often not be true, this is what Hedges’ meant when he said that “the most essential skill…. Is artifice.”

Politicians are sometimes easy to dislike. Their flaws are often aired publicly for the entire world to see, and many people generally distrust politicians based on this information. But even if you don't particularly like any of the candidates, do you really know them? And should it matter whether you like them or not? Perhaps a politician's stance on issues important to you is more important than whether or not they are likeable. Even if it's choosing the lesser of two or more evils in your eyes, voting is still an important way for you to voice your opinion about the subjects you care about most.

Mass incarceration is known as a net of laws, policies, and rules that equates to the American criminal justice system. This series of principles of our legal system works as an entrance to a lifelong position of lower status, with no hope of advancement. Mass incarceration follows those who are released from prison through exclusion and legalized discrimination, hidden within America. The New Jim Crow is a modernized version of the original Jim Crow Laws. It is a modern racial caste system designed to keep American black men and minorities oppressed with laws and regulations by incarceration. The system of mass incarceration is the “new Jim Crow” due to the way the U.S. criminal justice system uses the “War on Drugs” as the main means of allowing discrimination and repression. America currently holds the highest rate of incarceration in the world, and even more African American men imprisoned, although white men are more likely to commit drug crimes but not get arrested. The primary targets of the criminal justice system are men of color. Mass incarceration is a rigid, complex system of racial control that resembles Jim Crow.

In the society in which we live in today, there is a political system filled with much chaos and

Laws are necessary part of a government. Government serves as system that can provide services and order which the people can pick their respentace. Now imagine a law that help protect you, your race, ideas, sexual orientation and so forth. Now imagine a group of people or even organization who are against you views. To a certain point to even hurt or murder your ideas. Like any government laws are place to protect the people and that’s what hate crime laws are. Too protect citizens no matter their race and choices. But that doesn’t seem to be the case always. In article by .

In fact, it is almost like a hobby. Laws that should be in place to represent a kind of covenant between the public and the government that stands for freedom are really just “the work of the passions of a few” (Beccaria 1). This is actually pretty evident in our society because we so often see special interest groups lobbying and protesting when it comes time for lawmakers or citizens to vote on certain laws. Not everyone is interested in every law, but everyone is interested in at least a few, usually the ones that affect them specifically. So, really, we all take turns advocating for the laws and changes we want to see, which is great, except for the underrepresented minorities.

In the book the New Jim Crow Laws there is racial discrimination on the African American people in the American society. What is racial discrimination? It is refusing somebody based on race. In the United States we have been racial discriminate on the African American people and that is what cause the south and north to go civil wat was because slavery and racism that existed and even still to this day. In the south the black were less and treated unequal to them historically even today were are still experiencing a civil rights movement. In the recent years society had a civil right movement when Obama become the first black president in history in the 2008 and still serving until 2016. In this book is comparing the pre Jim Crow laws to Current the Jim Crow laws.

July 9, 1868, the day the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified and establish into the Constitution. On this day, the Federal Government granted citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States.” This all changed on October 3, 1965 when Lyndon Johnson passed the Hart-Celler Immigration Bill. When this bill passed, it allowed politicians to redefine the way the Fourteenth Amendment was written. The obvious reason politicians would want to take advantage of this is for votes. If you have illegal aliens coming into the country and politicians granting them citizenship, the aliens are more than likely going to vote in favor of the politician that allowed them to accommodate with ease. This not only transformed the law and Constitution, but America itself.

Politicians are elected in part on the basis of the issues by which they stand, and these issues are either held up or

The 1988 November ballot in California had four insurance-related propositions that sought to reduce the rates of insurance policies for automobiles, properties, and casualties. Proposition 103 was the only one of the four to be approved, and it would win by a small margin. The proposition sought to drastically change the present state of the insurance system, causing the rates to be significantly reduced based upon a fair system. The system was to provide an insurance premium based upon factors that mattered most: the driver’s history, years of experience in driving, and the number of miles being driven annually. The proposition would be created by Harvey Rosenfield, an accomplished lawyer and consumer advocate. Harvey would receive the support from Ralph Nader who would help to push towards the approval of this proposition. The proposition was a huge success, creating drastic changes in the insurance industry. As a result, the state of California now has a four-year elected Insurance Commissioner, as well as a reduced rate for all policies. Good drivers receive additional benefits, and insurance companies are prevented from being able to increase their pricing by other factors that would be linked to discrimination and price-fixing.

bad decisions change who they should be because they desperately want power, they both have

As far as Federal judges destroying the Constitution, they aren't the only ones who are doing so. Like the Bible (for example) many have often interpreted it's meaning to fall in line with their own agendas or beliefs. If these judges are so bad, the blame ultimately on voters. Too many voters have become "party drones" They vote bases on name recognition or party affiliation.

The special rules in the house are a tool used in order to set certain parameters and help accommodate floor action for a certain bill. Special rules help get controversial and difficult bills through as most sponsors of bills of this sort are not able to get garner the necessary two thirds or majority support. When two thirds support is not possible congressmen will go to the rules committee and request the special rules resolution. Special rules help set up the order amendments are voted on, the length of the debates, and what amendment can be voted on .Steven Smith describes a special rule called a king-of-the-hill rule which allows for a progression of votes on different amendments which are usually full substitutes of the bill in question.

We all form and possess our very own viewpoints and ideals in regards to relevant worldly issues and how we come to these conclusions can differ greatly. I feel as though "Why Politics Makes Us Stupid" goes hand in hand with "Corn Pone Opinions," in that they both point out that people would rather agree with someone to maintain a status of acceptance instead of arguing for what they truly believe and risking losing that sense of approval. I personally believe the political system would be in a much better place if there were no such thing as parties; rather than Republican and Democrat, have every politician identify as Independent. That way people would actually perform their research in order to formulate a sound belief in one candidate,

Copyright laws in the United States are very important because it protects your work from someone claiming that it’s theirs. According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), The main reason why intellectual property laws exist is because it protects the progress and well-being of humanity by creating and inventing new works in the areas of technology and culture. Second, the legal protection promotes innovation. Lastly, the promotion increases jobs, increases technological advancements, and spurs inventions. So this means that if you worked tirelessly to complete a research paper on a doctoral thesis for a method to reduce the risk of cancer in humans, you should be credited for that work. A random person cannot go and copy your work and claim it as their own. At the same time, if a photographer spent months traveling around the world taking pictures of beautiful places, things, people, etc. the photographer is protected from someone taking their photographs and using it for themselves, without giving the photographer credit. Unfortunately, people go even further with copyright in the photographer’s example, by taking the photographers pictures and putting it on a canvas or enlarging it, and sell it to people to make money, which is traditionally called piracy. Copyright covers both using someone’s work for an assignment and someone stealing your photographs and using it for themselves to make a profit, but I believe that piracy is greater of the two evils.
