Legislation

The Canadian legislative process can be a highly laborious task. Within Parliament, the passing of new legislation can be an enormous ordeal, taking a considerable amount of time to come to fruition.

However, this often occurs because legislation proposed must undergo a variety of stages to ensure it is viable within society. Passing each separate stage before it is deemed appropriate to implement within the public system. The legislative process has six main stages which a proposed legislation must go…

Dogs are becoming a standard part of families’ lives and are truly a man or woman’s best friend. However, how can we guarantee that all dogs will not cause harm to our society and not bring in violence and aggression? The solution is Breed-Specific Legislation which are laws that try to control negative animal behavior such as biting or other attacks by restricting or completely outlawing certain aggressive breeds.

Justice Stevens believed that the actions of the Comptroller General were making policy that would “bind the Nation” therefore they must “follow the procedures mandated by Article I of the Constitution (Bowsher v. Synar, 1986).” Stevens makes the argument that Congress cannot delegate its authority to create legislation, as it must pass through both houses, and must complete these tasks on their own. Stevens and Marshall also conclude that the removal power would not, even could not, be abused…

This has created different ethnic groups in Beta that all have a desire to represent themselves. This is the reasoning behind a medium sized legislature. A congress of this size could potentially allow many different ethnic groups to represent themselves and voice their opinion efficiently. If…
