Pros And Cons Of Amendment 70

I chose to write about the 27th amendment, which states that members of Congress cannot increase their salary until after there has been an election of representatives. The 27th amendment is a wise policy that keeps members of Congress from misusing their power, and it is obvious that the framers who wrote the law believed people were, by nature, greedy, and therefore included a safeguard against greedy actions.

After much thought, and in light of some recent laws being passed in California (SB 277 & SB 792); I would like to propose the following Constitutional Amendment:

In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

Jason Furman and Parrot Sharon explain why raising minimum wage will help families. The wage has to be elevated to just the point where a family can actually afford all the necessities they need in order to survive. The cost of living in houses for poor people makes it difficult for them to afford it and is difficult to stay on task with all the bills. Many minimum wage workers have families to support. The cost of raising children is very expensive. It is an average of $7,100 per year. Minimum wage workers can barely afford to pay child care for one child, let alone two. Increasing minimum wage will also make life easier to those who have food stamps and child care needs. Which can also help them get into college a lot faster so they can go out and pursue a better paying job.

American citizens shall be able to make use of all technology available to digitally track their vote for the president of the United States.

The 24 Amendment allows citizens to vote in federal elections regardless to them paying poll taxes or any other taxes. This amendment also allows congress to invoke this article at any time if necessary, as long as they have approval from the Senate.

The ninth amendment is U.S. citizens are guaranteed their rights that are not listed on the Constitution, such as the right to privacy. Some court cases that are tied with the ninth amendment is the Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978), City of Richmond v. J.A. Orson Co (1989), Boy Scouts of America v. Dale (2000), and Grutter v. Bollinger.

Next, do some more research for news articles related to Proposition 47. Use APA format to identify and summarize two additional articles on the topic.

Much controversy has been seen in politics specifically in immigration and the ratification of the 14th amendment. While some argue that changes should be made to the 14th amendment, others argue that immigrants are major contributors to the United States economy. Over the recent years, rising immigration numbers have been seen however, the impact on the US has shown more pros than cons. There should not be any more restrictions to the 14th amendment because having those hard-working Americans has played a significant role such as supporting the US need for economic growth, education, and innovation-essential skills.

Have you ever thought about feeding a family and paying the necessary bills on $7.25 per hour? If you answer “no,” then think about this. With this type of salary you could not cover your rent in most parts of the United States, much less feed your family. In this day and time this feat cannot be achieved without raising the minimum wage. If our current government does not raise the minimum wage than a person earning minimum wage would need to work two or three jobs just to keep up with inflation.

The 14th amendment guarantees that states cannot “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” This amendment was used to justify the legality of abortion in arguably the most important Supreme Court case of our time, Roe v. Wade. The court used this to uphold the right of a woman to have an abortion. The gravity of this decision makes the 14th amendment the most important in today’s society.

The 16th amendment is an important amendment that allows the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT to collect income tax from all americans. this allows for the government to keep an army, build road and bridges, enforce laws and carry out important rules and regulations. the 16th amendment was passed because many people believe an income tax would provide a more stable source of income than by a chief way in which government had been financed throughout history to that point but such a tax could not be imposed because the Supreme Court had ruled in Pollock v. Farmers' Loan and Trust Company. PROS of 16th amendment, The federal government can collect revenues from income and thus increase expenditures. and government gets money from tax revenue, fines and

The interest groups in this policy are minimum wage workers, businesses, politicians and the public in Seattle. The minimum wage workers would get a huge raise, from about $9 to $15, which would yield them more income and better standard of living. Politicians who pushed for this policy would gain popularity because of the political environment of Seattle. Businesses stand to take a lost in profit due to rise cost of business due to the higher minimum wage. Raising prices can is certainly one way to combat the rising cost for businesses. However, this will affect the public, who will have to pay if price is raised. Businesses might lay people off and less willing to hire new ones. This will hurt current workers and potential workers, because businesses must adjust to the new policy.

$7.25 equals two gallons of gas, one fast food meal, or a simple school supply. With the minimum wage at the current rate you must work one hour to earn the seven dollars and twenty-five cents that only supply you with small necessities for everyday living. This problem was encountered before and was resolved with the agreement to higher the minimum wage from $5.85 to the current $7.25. Although that was a big increase in salaries, was it truly enough? This controversy can lead to a major change in everyone’s everyday lives and boost our economy to a period of prosperity. The minimum wage should be increased to bring our economy out of a recession, bring families together,

Raising the minimum wage could help to protect workers from exploitation. It is a sad reality that employers take advantage of their workers and it is very commonplace to do so. Undercutting regulations, and human rights themselves, many use undocumented labor and otherwise shady business practice to get ahead. Not much is done to remedy this problem. A worker cannot easily escape this situation either. There are not many jobs, so each chance is
