Pros And Cons Of Proposition 51

The exact definition of a juvenile is a “young person” who has yet to reach their 18th birthday. The average life expectancy of someone living in the U.S. is about 79 years old. Proposition 21 requires juveniles to be viewed and tried as adults, including receiving adult punishment such as a life sentence. If a juvenile receives a life sentence before they reach adulthood, more than three-fourths of their life is gone (“California Proposition 21”). Juveniles don’t even have a fully developed brain and as a result, can’t fully understand the circumstances that they find themselves in. Courts must not be given the power to try and sentence juveniles as adults because the environment in adult prisons are for adults, not juveniles, therefore, Proposition 21 should be repealed.

A law that will decrease simple drug possession and certain property crimes to misdemeanors was passed by the California voters. Statewide ballot returns showed that the law passed with 59 percent of votes.

Proposition 57 would allow non violent felons a shorter sentence and be released for early parole. The prison system right now is being so over flowed at least one inmate a week dies from not being able to receive the proper medical care. By proposition 57 the prison would be less crowded and not over populated. Additionally, Proposition 57 allowed inmates to earn credits for good behavior and educational or rehabilitative achievements. If the population in the prisons go up there would be mandatory releases so there would be random releases without the individual doing anything but through the proposition there is order and incentive for them to be good in prison. Also judges would not determine the releases.

Missouri House Bill 1468, removes the need for an individual to have a permit for a conceal-and-carry firearm. This bill was sponsored by Eric Burlison, a Republican, who is the current representative for District 133 in the Missouri House of Representatives. Before this bill, any resident of Missouri who is at least 19 years old, or any military member who is at least 18 years old, must apply for a permit that costs $100 as well as complete an eight-hour long firearms safety course (Bliss). Even with the addition of this bill, it is still forbidden to carry a firearm in the following places: schools, governmental buildings, private property that restricts firearms, and many other places.

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.

The only downfall I can see so far the penalties for not be covered. It is my opinion if a person or family cannot afford insurance how can they afford a penalty for being in poverty. I am grateful to President Obama for making this possible for all Americans. Like anything new it will take the time to work out the kinks so that it can be affordable to

This policy offers an alternative to cutting provider reimbursement or reducing the benefits on which the most vulnerable citizens depend.

Spending money on smoking is too much and leads to nothing, and there are no benefits that people can get from smoking. Smoking can hit personal finances and smokers are burning their money for no reason. Instead of using money to get cigarettes, people can donate to non-government organizations to wipe out poverty and change people’s lives. Smoking is a major factor that is destroying the environment. Smoking cigarettes is bad for the air. People who do not smoke have to breathe the bad air around the smokers. Smoking needs to be banned in public to let other people breathe the fresh air. Most Americans are exposed to outdoor and indoor air that can cause cancer and other serious health problems. Smoking is a serious problem that needs to be taken care of. If we want a strong environment, clean environment, and a good public health, we need to ban smoking once and for all.

Nicotine use is a leading preventable cause of death in the world, directly and indirectly responsible for 440,000 deaths per year. The health problems that result in tobacco use tally an annual of $75 billion in direct medical costs (Slovic 36). That money spent on medical problems for smokers should be used to pay for more important things in our society such as schools, libraries, childcare, etc.
