Handing over the responsibility of making and amending laws to politically inept i.e. the general public is generally not advised. It is misguided to assume that all people are rational enough to choose the decision that is best for them. Most people tend to vote on issues based on their emotional response to them, charismatic campaigns and the opinion of the masses. The results of the referendum will therefore not be based on individual opinion and defeats the whole point of having
Voting is important because it allows individuals their rights as humans to express their opinions. These rights and powers that allow individuals to speak their minds and opinions is what constitute as Democracy. Regardless of the facts, a system of control must be placed to allow free citizens to vote. The American Voting system is not perfect, and perhaps will never be, but it allows people to come together to unite under a certain degree of Democracy. However, this is not the problem of the system of voting.
Citizens should be encouraged to embrace their citizenship, and not merely as a duty, but as a meaningful opportunity to participate in their own government for the sake of common good and in building the culture of life. In addition, it is an exercise of significant individual power. Now, most Americans will tell you that our politicians have all the power, but I disagree. Although it is true that our politicians do make the laws, here in the United States of America, the people have the authority. If an individual does not vote, then that individual cannot argue or comment on the outcome of what our politicians do.
Freedom of expression is considered to fall under the category of freedom of speech, which is protected by the First Amendment. Individuals are free to express themselves however they want to, whether or not it is of a religious nature. Even if somebody is not religious, polygamy should be considered to be free speech and protected under the Constitution. Overall, I disagree with the Supreme Court’s ruling that polygamy is
One of the biggest reasons to not use Yucca Mountain is because Nevada does not have one nuclear power plant. “A two-thirds majority of Nevadans feel it is unfair for their state to have to store nuclear waste when there are no nuclear power plants in Nevada”. So why would we make them take waste from states such as New York or New Jersey. Another reason that we should not use Yucca Mountain is because it is only 100 miles away from Las Vegas which has hundreds of thousands of tourist a year which if a leak occurs then they would be exposed to nuclear waste. This would not be good.
3. Just societies are committed to and respect the autonomy of their citizens. C1: Equality of condition requires equal autonomy. C2: An autonomous society is also an egalitarian society. Nielsen states ”I shall argue…that autonomy cannot be widespread or secure in a society which is not egalitarian: where, that is, equality is not also a fundamental value which has an operative role within the society” (Munson 708).
Things which convince the majority of today’s voter in the United Kingdom are not really the long-term policies of the parties, or any alignment to parties. As a mentioned before even the class system is not that important anymore, therefore it is not a main reason to vote for the party which used to be the one related to the voter’s class. It is much more likely that the voting public decides what to vote influenced by so-called short-term factors. Another term which is used is issue-voting so the electorate decides new for every single election what are now at the moment the policies I want to support. A voter could switch from voting for the Conservatives to vote for the Labour Party at the next election because they decide according to single issues.
Alexander Hamilton thought that the judiciary review was the important factor of the checks and balance system and necessary citadel for protecting the public justice. He thinks the general liberty is the most important thing when considering the constitutional framework. Hamilton disagrees with the legislative branch exceeding its power as despotism but accepts the power of jurisdiction as a way to protect people, which is the more important. However, for Chief Justice Marshall, the judicial review was not a way to protect the people. It was a tool for political movements and to gain authority of the judicial branch.
One common topic in many political conversations is government standardized health care. Government standardized health care is not what this country needs for so many different reasons. Just for starters, the general American public does not support the bill, but our governments legislation is still trying to force it on the American public. Also, more and more government officials are loosing support for standardized health care. Everywhere you go, there is evidence of our economy taking a down turn.
“Let’s do the right thing”, let the officers of the law provide a safe and secure society. As upholders of the Constitution of the United States, the officers and defenders of this nation should be excluded from these laws and restrictions of gun
