Baker vs. Carr

1. What issue was dressed in the case? In Tennesse, urban areas has increased in population and the State hasn't changed the number of legislators for each county that has increased.
2. A law was passed to make each state update redistricting every 10 years, and Tennesse has failed to do so since 1901.
3. The case presented a political question which the court wouldn't hear the case.
4. The federal court refused to hear a case over State districting, which sent the case off to the supreme court.
5. In the end, it was a land slide that the Supreme court allows federal courts the power to determine State voting rights.
6. The federal court is now hearing more cases similiar to Baker vs Carr.
7. I do agree with the court decision, the federal court should deal with kind of hearings.

Assignment 11/6/14

   A big conversation that has been discussed for years is abortion. Should abortion be allowed or shouldn't it? Personally, I could see being for it then against it. I don't you should be able to kill your child simply because  you don't want to take care of it, but then again its not my decision to make. I believe every person should make their decision as to abortion. I could be against abortion because it is awfully wrong to kill a child. If anything, the mother should have the child and give it up for adoption. I would address the people that I personally don't believe in it, but I believe mothers should have an option.
  In the United States, natural disasters happen all of the time. I believe the government should give aid to the states when a natural disaster occurs. In my opinion, every should come together and help support that state that the natural disaster happened in. They should also have trainings for people in those states to help the people in need as soon as the natural disaster has hit. Even though it may cost a lot to help those states in need, the government should spend their money on aid over other nonsense stuff.
  For me, I am a strong believe in being green. Who wouldn't want fresh air to breathe in? Each year, our atmosphere is being destroyed by gases caused by burning coal and etc. Our government should come together to help find a solution to clean air. Everyone says Obama is a pretty bad president, but his strides with trying to save our environment is amazing. Small steps can lead to larger steps in helping for clean air. I would promote for recycling and try to get more citizens to recycle. I would try to get the chance to give some money back to the ones who recycle.
  Cost of College is another issue that not just West Virginia faces, but every state faces. Many high school seniors are faced with the debt of College in the near future. Some colleges tuition is just  outrageous. In my opinion, the government should figure options to help the students with their debts. One option would be to have more scholarships available to a ride range of students. In some cases, some high school students have to get loans due to their parents not willing to help them, there should be something to help those ones in need. Everyone should be able to get the chance to a higher education if they desire it.
  Lately, there has been some news on television about veterans not getting their needs. In my opinion, veterans should be able to get health benefits for serving their country. Not many people can say, that they went to war and fought for us during the War Worlds. I believe the government should give back to the veterans. Many veterans develop mental health issues during combat. My opinion the government should fund groups that help veterans work their issues out when they get back to the United States.
 For me, I wouldn't consider myself a democrat or a republican. If I had to be one, I would probably be a democrat. I don't always agree with how most democrats think. I do believe that people that make a much higher income, should get tax more. It is not fair for a low income person to be paying the same taxes, as someone who makes millions. Must democrats also support the death penalty. Many democrats believe in having health care for everyone, but I don't believe Obamacare was the right option. It is not fair to make citizens pay a fine due to not having insurance. One thing most democrats want is to have clean air. I am a strong believe in finding energy that's clean for the environment.

I believe that is a good thing that we have someone in the lawmaking that would think for the young minds for West Virginia. In other thoughts, it seems she got elected through the help of her father. I believe that this could be a good or bad thing for West Virginia. In a good sense, she could be the voice of reason for younger adults. In other ways, she is young she may not know as much as someone who is more qualified and older.

Who I choose?

I choose the woman because of many reasons. First of all, she believes that people should get refunded if they recycle. Other issues he helped is with taxes. She explains the reasons for taxes as well. At the end, his responses were better than the girl's.

For the Barbour County Election, two republicans and one democrat won the election. They were all men.For the West Virginia senator, Capito won over Natalie Tennant. In all of the votes, I don't believe a single incumbent won the election. Elections is a choice for people to express their feelings I believe its important to vote because it a privilege Americans have.

1. I'm stay agree and disagree with the death penatly. In some since, I believe it is the right thing to do. In other ways, I believe that it is wrong.  Sometimes life in prison could do better punishment than the death penalty.
2. I believe that the court should give the guy's legal time a chance. He should get punished for what he did.

Some of the laws on this article are stupid. I do believe some of the laws are funny to look at. In addition, the states need to go over their laws. If the states actually enforced these laws, our country would be made fun of for sure.
