Prop 38 Argument Analysis

Decent Essays
Prop 38 was a proposition that was passed in California in the year of 1984. This prop requires all voting material to be written in only English. I believe that California passed this proposition because of the richest 1% of people in the world. I say this because the richest one percent care about one thing, and one thing only, keeping their wealth. The wealthier you are, the more power you have. The richest 1% control the government and they want to be able to choose who is in office. I believe that this proposition was passed because California’s biodiversity rates have been growing. The highest populated race in California is Hispanics. The crazy thing is that they know this, and they know that they are uneducated hispanics who illegally

    The Arguments: As seen on law.Cornell.edu, in the majority opinion, Justice Black reasoned that Art.1, § 2, clause 1’s “by the people of the several states” means that one person’s vote in a congressional election is to amount the same as another’s in order to provide fair representation. Having one vote worth more in one district than another causes damage to the voters because it goes against the fundamental ideas of democracy and disregards the principle of being “elected by the people,” where every vote is accounted for. As shown on law.Cornell.edu, Justice Black reasons a district having greater voice in choosing Congressmen defeats the principle of the Great Compromise, which is equal representation in the House. According to law.Cornell.edu, Justice Black states in the majority opinion “other rights, even the most basic, are illusory if the right to vote is undermined” and that “our Constitution leaves no room for classification of people in a way that unnecessarily abridges this right.” Even though it is not possible to draw districts to result with precisely equal population, there is no reason to ignore the Constitution’s aim to attain equal representation.…

    History has shown that people discriminate out of fear, since most of society doesn’t understand or try to understand the reasons for undocumented people to travel to the United States, which can causes nationwide chaos. There have been harsh laws against illegal immigrants who enters the country, and are dealt with racial experiences, as if they were from another planet in the solar system. In recent years, the state of Arizona had thought the current immigration laws were not being affected enough, therefore Arizona had passed their own immigration law. Arizona’s Law SB 1070 came into effect in 2010, and sparked a national outcry, while many people had protested and marched. Arizona’s Law SB 1070 is discriminating toward Hispanics or anyone…

    They were district zoning and the affects it has on elections as well as representation on behalf of the district. Lastly, due to the lack of voting from citizens this directly affects how the people are represented. From I find that as I learn more about our government it amazes me to find that our citizens have this idea that we live in a democracy but refuse to vote for change within their community. This arises the question of are we not a democracy operated state because of the lack of representation or the lack or the participation from…

    Rebuttal 1 - My opponent argues that Proposition 227 improved standardized test scores when it passed. Even if it was, which many studies disagree over, it is not beneficial anymore. It is outdated. Proposition 227 was passed 18 years ago – before the iPhone existed, before we had our first Black president, before we created laws against smoking. Our world has changed in ways that would have been unfathomable in 1998.…

    When this pamphlet came in the mail last year, I specifically remember spending a few hours on a Saturday reading every little detail. After I read the ballot portions I went to Ballotpedia ( http://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia:About ) and also researched it there. In addition, to the opinions in the voters pamphlet, I also looked at the coverage of pros and cons by the state newspapers (The Oregonian, and the Statesman Journal). Once I made up my mind, I penciled it as a Y or N in the voter pamphlet.…

    Recently, there has been an argument in the State of Texas about the power of the State and the local governments. This argument had raised up after Gregg Abbott warned about the “Californization” of Texas, and in follow passing laws that limited the power of local governments on issues like fracking in their cities. These arguments are similar to those that are for the powers for the State versus Federal government. Hence, there are lots of arguments for and against the local control, and on the other hand, it is hypocritical for the state government to impose its will on the policies.…

    Within this essay, I will argue that Galen Strawson’s basic argument, presented in Your Move: The Maze of Free Will, is correct about the impossibility of ultimate moral responsibility. I will do this by first explaining the basic argument as proposed by Strawson, then raising an objection to it concerning the distinction between the self and the way you are by denying the second premise. And finally, I will be refuting the objection. Strawson’s basic argument can be boiled down to the simple notion that one cannot be ultimately morally responsible. He claims that anything you do in any circumstance is an effect of who you are, and the way you are.…

    Unlike in 1876, when traveling took days and the only means of communication was through mail or telegraph. Another argument supporters had was that the cost of living in Austin, Texas, and the choice of school their children will attend might not be of the person 's standards or liking (). The supporters also argued that an official that might have represented a legislative district in the past might want to keep their local residency for the fact that they might want to seek an office that needs them to live in a specific district (). The people that opposed proposition 3, argue that the people that chose to take those jobs know that they are required by law, to live in the capitol of Texas, as well that they are required to be in their agencies main office in order to do their job properly ().…
