In 1964, Congress attempted an alternate strategy, composition hostile to separation enactment that connected to non-government substances by summoning its powers under the Interstate Commerce Clause. This court case underpinned Congress' novel methodology, administering the law was a real utilization of the Clause and allowed the national government to
When he was asked whether he would favor the prohibition of the bilingual ballot, he simply stated, “Of course not.” Wills’ continues in the next section stating that our national identity and our federal laws are being weakened by immigration that is influenced by these bilingual ballots. He also uses this anecdote in the fourth section by showing how our laws are weakening. That these illegal immigrants are able to ask for bilingual ballots because the law is weakening and they are able to immigrate into the country in illegal ways without knowing how to speak English or know anything about our politics. Although the chief rhetorical aim of the article appears to be to inform Americans rather than persuade them as to why the bilingual ballot should be prohibited, why is Will not taking up a more serious tone if he felt so strongly about the

The contract that Gerald and Kids Care formed is a bilateral contract “promise for a promise” created by two parties, which may be enforceable and considered under the doctrine of promissory estoppel (also called detrimental reliance). The doctrine of promissory estoppel can help enforce a promissory contract in a court of law. The doctrine of promissory estoppel may be applied when problems concerning consideration are present. According to the Business Law (Miller & Hollowell, 2012) textbook, in order for the doctrine of promissory estoppel to be applied, a number of elements are required: 1.
RUNNING HEADER: FEDERALISM OPEN RESPONSE ESSAY 1 / 12 Federalism Open Response Essay Political Science 101 Stacey Record Eastern Kentucky University RUNNING HEADER: FEDERALISM OPEN RESPONSE ESSAY 2 / 12 Abstract This essay will explore how the expansion of Federal power has encroached on States’ rights over time specifically relating to the Commerce Clause, Taxing and Spending Power and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. To help the reader understand this concept I will discuss several landmark Supreme Court cases and various Federal regulations and will use academic resources to support my findings. It stands to reason that a government’s ability to assert its authority over States in many respects is a necessary backbone to building
The plain meaning of this language might indicate a limited power to regulate commercial trade between persons in one state and persons outside of that state.“ (Thomas, 2014). The main reason for developing the effects on interstate commerce test was to conclude if it violates the dormant Commerce Clause: “(…) The United States Supreme Court has developed a series of test to determine whether a state regulation that affects interstate commerce violates the dormant Commerce Clause.” (Giachino, 2001). 3. Is most commerce considered “interstate commerce”? Why or why not?
Ogden claimed that this was true only for goods, not navigation. Gibbons then sued Ogden for entry into the state and the case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. John Marshall ruled in favor of Gibbons, determining that it was within the federal government’s power to control navigation and that the regulation of “commerce” included laws of navigation. Conduction of interstate commerce was a power reserved to Congress, Marshall ruled. I believe that Marshall granted this case cert.
Alfonzo once again claimed that Commerce Clause which is basically where Congress is granted separate power, which Alfonzo thought was a direct violation of the Constitution Of The Unites States. The Fifth Circuit overturned the original conviction by stating the charges and the laws are past the powers of the Congress and in response to that the U.S. government then appealed to the Supreme court. The reason they did this was so the Commerce Laws could stay in effect. The Governments argument was the possession of a firearm on or within a school facility would likely be to commit a act of violence which would effect the school and how it is run and also the well being of the population, and because of all this the government believe that the commerce clause should be upheld. In
In the republic of California, some would say we have some of the worst laws and restrictions in the country. Gun control on American citizens has been attempted ever since the Bill of Rights’ 2nd amendment said, “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” This sentence and its meaning have been debated by lawmakers and firearm-bearing citizens to this day, and we can not agree on what our founding fathers intended the amendment to mean. In my mind I see it only one way, the second amendment gives the people the right to own and keep any firearm they feel they should have. One point argued about the second amendment is at the end of the quote, it claims that our right to bear arms “shall not be infringed.” This phrase, however, is debated to whether they are talking about the right to simply own a firearm, or to place any limitations on firearms capabilities. The word infringed means to inflict upon a right or privilege.
So as you can see from where they stand Obama is a little more for Gun Control while McCain is almost completely Agenst it. My opinion on this issue is that it is our constituional right to have these fire arms and that we should be able to keep them. I had a history teacher tell me once that the one admendment is the only one that keeps the government on edge and doing what the population wants cuz it gives us the power to rebel if the government stopes listening to us. Also I think that if they do band guns like they do in other country’s all they are going to accomplish is taking the guns out of the good guys hands and giving the bad people who will not turn theirs in a free
