Felon disenfranchisement is a common practice in the United States and occurs when incarcerated felons and ex-felons are denied certain rights, specifically their right to vote. Felonies vary between violent and nonviolent crimes and are considered to be more serious than misdemeanors. Depending on the crime and the state, conviction of a felony can lead to a minimum of one year in prison. Despite the crime and conviction, the question of whether or not an incarcerated felon or ex-felon has the…

convicted felons to vote has been a controversial topic due to the fact thhat the felons are restrained from voting. As citizens of the United States, felons are looked down upon in our country’s society. However, after the time they serve in prison, it is believed that they have changed for the better. While the eligibility for felons to vote in the United States has grown into a critical topic of discussion, the debate between convicted felons voting and not voting will continue to be…

No people in the United States rely more on the federal government than those who are housed by it, fed by it, employed by it, and barred from voting to change it. These people are incarcerated felons, and their disenfranchisement is a barrier to democracy and dialogue in America.

Of those…

Some states, such as Colorado and California, have already legalized marijuana; this has been to their benefit.

Following the delegation of education by the U.S. Constitution to the state…

Chinese immigrants started to arrive in the United States in significant numbers in the late 1840s, specifically 1848, when the California gold rush began to make headlines. People from around the globe came to California in hopes of getting rich quick, and then returning to their home countries. By 1852, California had passed a Foreign Miner’s Tax, specifically targeting the Chinese and forcing them to pay $3 a month for a license to be able to mine for gold. Chinese immigrants were in numbers…

older and they commit a felony and go to prison, depending on what state they’re is in, their right to vote may be suspended for a certain period of time or taken away completely. I don’t think it is fair how some states take away a felon’s right to vote once they get out of prison. States who enforce laws that take away the right to vote do not treat criminals as if they are normal U.S. citizens. All states have different voting laws for felons which comes from the constitution, however,…

The Law can be interpreted as the system of rules socially made or governmentally developed to influence people of a system as a whole. Laws also enforce impositions and penalties for those who violate it. To many people it is the essential tool to keep people safe.

However, in my opinion, Laws can be effective or ineffective, I believe…
