Local government in the United States

CONTROL OF EDUCATION State controlled education is where the state of federal influences the structure, operation, and academic programs of public schools.

The goodness of the school is dependent on the administration and control of that given school among other factors. Over the years, state controlled…

These criminal justice systems try to discourage people from disrupting the peace and order of society by educating their people (who lawfully live in a country, state, etc.) on the results and punishments for failing to obey the law. The criminal justice system can be separated and labeled in three main parts; policing where the act of asking questions and trying to find the truth about something is held, the…

Why Care About the Government? “I don’t care” is usually the response I get after asking someone who they are going to vote for President of the United States. The majority of people even divulge that they are not even registered voters! It seems that the majority of people really do not care about the government that runs this country or even have any interest in what goes on in the politics of this nation. These people feel as though it will not affect them in any way, and that there really…

Introduction The first Earth Day in 1970 marked the commencement of the modern environmental movement (Jaffe et al. 1995, 132). Since that time, the United States federal government has initiated a number of command and control environmental policies to regulate activities. There is disagreement about rather these government controls are morally correct, though, such as with the recent Stream Protection Rule. Scholars like Robert Nozick would believe that environmental regulations impede on…

the U.S. for several years. The people vs. the federal government or the state vs the federal government are just some of the main debates over its legalization. In the past marijuana was used as medicine until the 1937 when a new tax fee led to end of its use. In 1972 marijuna was placed in schedule I of the controlled Substance Act , meaning it has a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.

very day, arguments between state and federal governments are still arising. The issue yet to be solved if the federal government should be able to control all matters, even foreign ones over the state government. The state government will not take no for an answer though. States until this day, have continued to fight against issues they feel they have the right to regulate. Even though I believe that states should have more power than they already do. The federal government continues to grow,…

The federal law on the other hand states that you must be at least 18 years old to…

Many argue that it is the “right” of the individual to receive aid from the government when they cannot support their family. Others agree help is warranted but there must be limits set to avoid fraud or the program becomes not an aid but a way of life. Over the course of our nation’s history welfare reform has taken on many…
