more interested and involved in politics. As previously mentioned, my plan relies heavily on a 300 member congress. Currently, Beta has a large immigrating population, which has no sign of stopping. 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 Beta were to come to the convention with a larger legislature, arguments in the legislature would become too strong and compromise would occur less readily (Gump & Woodworth, 23) On the other hand, if Beta came to the convention with a smaller legislation, ethnic groups would feel that their opinion is stifled by the majority (Gump & Woodworth, 24). The next base for my plan at the Constitutional Convention lies in representation based on population. Representation based on population is critical to Beta’s success in the legislature. Beta’s skyrocketing population means that Beta will receive a large amount of representatives in the congress. This form of representation also helps Atlantis as a whole; Beta’s population is extremely educated due to the good universities in the province. This will allow the most qualified people to make decisions, thus benefiting all of Atlantis. The final point in my congressional plan for Beta lies in the term length and election schedule of…
Locke believes that the correct way to avoid corruption is the Legislative Branch and what it implies. In Locke’s society, he believes people should trust the government and the government should obtain the trust of the people by taking concern in their opinions. Locke believes that the Legislative branch will help people make educated decisions that include the concern of the people. That the legislative branch should not be the only power, but that it should have rules and laws to follow so it…
Aragon became a kingdom in 1031. The way that the Peninsular Kingdom was ruled is what allowed it to successfully last for over 500 years. There were three branches in the Aragonese government; Legislative branch, Executive branch, and the Judicial body. Each of these branches had different jobs to do in the ruling of the Peninsular Kingdom. The way that each branch worked together ensured the lasting success of Aragon. The Legislative Branch was made up of four estates: religious, nobles,…
while the suspension of public officials can occur, the consequences of loss of salary and/or benefits are non-existent, allowing for corruption to pervade their position without consequence. Corruption in the service of the public should never be acceptable practice and no public servant should be allowed to get away with a lack of ethics. Proposition 50 addresses the issue of ethical corruption derived from actions involving suspensions without financial consequences being imposed.…
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…
inconsiderable popularity. Their findings focus on four areas: (A) the restrictive procedures used to shirk the legislative accountability of direct voting. The authors find that an increase in these questionable procedures coincides with rising negative ratings from the American public, who seek both transparency and accountability from the U.S. Congress; (B) hyperbolic rhetoric that: (1) promises quick fixes for complicated problems, and (2) exaggerates the consequences of opposing policy…
In conclusion, to create the ideal government there must be big changes made to the courts, elections, political parties, and both the executive and legislative branches. It is clear that the current system of government in the US is not effective in all areas. However, it is equally clear that there is no prefect form of government anywhere else in the world. Combining various systems and modification of the current US government would help to create a more complete and better functioning…
I ask for your support in the elimination of BPA from consumer products that come in contact with food or beverages. In the following memo you will find the strategy by which I believe we can gain the necessary support from all stakeholders and pass necessary legislation to keep our citizens safe. Each of us is well aware of the BPA controversy sweeping the nation. Recently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration took the unprecedented step of mandating elimination of BPA in children’s drinking…
making, enforcing and punishing institutions to vote, the general consensus of these politically active men composed all of the state’s policy and its enforcement. With that in mind, one is able to turn to text firstly looking at the chapter titled ‘of democracy’. the chapter begins with the statement ‘he who makes the law knows better than anyone how it should be executed and interpreted’. initially it appears as if this statement is simply an observation that a producer of an item will have…
For example, in the legislation to inhibit the selling of alcohol to underage people, the citizens thank the government for saving them from becoming an alcoholic at a young age (Daube et al., 2008). With the potential benefits which can be gained through these regulations, the media and the public are constantly have conflict perspectives on the method which individuals can adopt in order to live a healthier life (Magnusson, 2015). People often have the impression that the government are…
