This document discusses the history of and need for constitutional equality and equal rights amendments at the state and federal level. It provides background on past efforts to pass an Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution from the 1920s through the 1980s, and reasons it ultimately failed to be ratified. It argues that an Equal Rights Amendment is still necessary to fully guarantee equal rights and prevent rollbacks of progress, given ongoing issues of pay inequality, reproductive healthcare access, and gender violence. Adopting state-level equal rights amendments could help solidify these protections.

A breakdown of political reform items on which Ronald Kimmons and John Culberson agree and disagree. For more information, see democracy.com/ronald-kimmons.
Congress is the legislative branch of the US government and is bicameral, consisting of the House of Representatives and Senate. The Constitution established this structure to represent both large and small states. Congress's main function is to enact laws and oversee the executive branch. The House has 435 members with 2 year terms representing single districts, while the 100 Senators have 6 year staggered terms representing entire states. Congress has broad powers to tax, spend, regulate commerce, and declare war which it uses to carry out government functions and policies.
The document provides an overview of the US government system, including:
- The colonial period and problems with British rule that led to the Declaration of Independence.

- The key principles of the US Constitution such as popular sovereignty, separation of powers, checks and balances.
- An outline of the three branches of government - legislative, executive, judicial - and their main powers and responsibilities.
Political parties play several key roles in American democracy. They nominate candidates, help present options to voters, and link the people to their government. The two major parties, Democrats and Republicans, have dominated U.S. politics for over 150 years due to factors such as the single-member district electoral system and election laws that favor the major parties. While other countries often have multi-party systems, America's "two-party system" has endured due to ideological consensus among the public and parties occupying the political center.

The document discusses voting rights and voter behavior in the United States. It covers how voting rights have expanded over time from only allowing white male property owners to vote to all citizens over 18. Key events included the 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments granting rights regardless of race, sex, and lowering the age to 18. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the most effective at protecting minority voting rights. However, voter turnout remains low, especially in non-presidential elections, as many people feel their votes do not matter or distrust the political system. Sociological and psychological factors influence individuals' decisions to vote or not.
Law is a system of rules that regulate a society and are enforced through penalties. Sources of law include constitutions and religious texts. The US legal system protects citizens and helps resolve disputes. Key events in legal history include the Code of Hammurabi, Magna Carta, and Justinian's codification of Roman law into 50 books. Civil law governs private relations while criminal law punishes crimes. There are many career paths in law including attorneys, judges, law enforcement, and legal compliance roles.

The document analyzes factors that influence a president's public approval ratings and challenges they may face in office.
The document discusses political participation and voter turnout in the United States. It provides data showing that roughly half of nonvoters are registered to vote but do not vote, and the top three reasons registered nonvoters give for not voting are being too busy, having family obligations, and believing their vote will not make a difference. The document also discusses arguments for and against a proposed bill that would make Election Day a national holiday and fine citizens who do not vote.
The document provides an overview of the legislative branch of the US government. It discusses the constitutional role and composition of Congress, differences between the House of Representatives and Senate, importance of political parties, and the relationship between Congress, government, and Supreme Court. Key details are provided on the makeup and roles of both the House and Senate, including powers, leadership positions, and the legislative process bills must go through.

The 18th Amendment to Pakistan's Constitution passed in 2010 removed the president's power to dissolve parliament unilaterally, transitioning Pakistan to a parliamentary republic. It also renamed North-West Frontier Province to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and countered sweeping presidential powers accumulated under previous military leaders. The amendment bill passed both houses of parliament and was signed into law by President Zardari, marking the first time a Pakistani president willingly relinquished significant powers to parliament and the prime minister.
The 12th Amendment to the US Constitution changed the process for electing the president and vice president. It was ratified in 1804 to address problems that arose in previous elections. Under the new system, electors cast separate ballots for president and vice president. If no candidate wins a majority, the House chooses the president and Senate chooses the vice president from the top candidates. The amendment has been used in every presidential election since 1804.

The passage discusses the passage of the 18th Amendment which instituted Prohibition in the United States from 1920 to 1933. It led to the banning of alcohol but struggled with enforcement issues. Loophole allowed for religious and medical uses of wine. Widespread disobedience of the law led to rise of organized crime and activities like bootlegging and speakeasies. By 1930, organized crime was profiting more than the federal government. Prohibition ultimately failed and was repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.
The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement in the early 20th century where African American art, music, dance, and literature flourished. It originated in Harlem, New York in the 1920s as many African Americans migrated north during the Great Migration after World War 1. Notable writers included Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, while jazz musicians like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington gained popularity. The movement declined during the Great Depression as supporting organizations faced economic pressures.
The Women's Suffrage Movement began in 1848 at a tea party where Elizabeth Cady Stanton expressed her discontent with the fact that voting rights were limited only to white male property owners. This led to the first Women's Rights Convention being held in Seneca Falls, New York that same year. The movement faced significant backlash from newspapers and critics who felt women should not have the right to vote. Key figures like Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth campaigned tirelessly over decades to raise awareness and support for women's suffrage, culminating in the passage and ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920, which guaranteed all American women the right to vote.
Based on the arguments presented, I would vote for comprehensive immigration reform that includes enhanced border security and a path to citizenship. While illegal immigration is a complex issue with reasonable arguments on both sides, providing an opportunity for legal status recognizes the economic and family contributions of long-term residents, and is the most practical solution given the large population already in the country. A balanced approach that addresses both security and citizenship concerns seems the best policy option.
The document discusses public opinion on immigration reform and a senator's upcoming vote on a bill that would create a path to citizenship. It notes that public opinion is divided along party, racial, ethnic and religious lines. While some argue a path to citizenship rewards lawbreakers, others say it recognizes immigrants' family and community ties. The senator must weigh party leaders' priority of border security against supporters of reform in their state. The document does not say how the senator would vote, as public opinion does not clearly favor one option.
This document provides an overview of key aspects of American political culture, including comparisons to other nations. It discusses how Americans tend to have less trust in government compared to Europeans. Americans also are more likely to support free enterprise and equality of opportunity over equality of results. Religion also plays a more prominent civic role in American culture than European culture. The document examines sources of political culture such as debates around personal liberty versus social control and the culture war between progressive and orthodox views.
This document summarizes a chapter about American political culture.

It also examines the political system, economic system, and the civic role of religion in American politics. Graphs and tables are included showing trends in government trust, civic engagement, and political tolerance over time. The document concludes by outlining arguments for and against expanding a law allowing more government funding of faith-based social programs.
This document summarizes key aspects of American political culture and beliefs. It discusses the concepts of political culture, democratic values like majority rule and minority rights, and the process of political socialization where citizens develop political identities. It also outlines the major agents of socialization like family, schools, media and demographic factors. Finally, it compares aspects of the American political and economic systems to other nations like Sweden.
WHY TEXANS NEED INITIATIVE & REFERENDUMArt Bedford
The document discusses the initiative and referendum process (I&R), which allows citizens in some states to directly propose legislation or constitutional amendments via petition, and vote to repeal existing laws. It argues that I&R is needed in Texas to give citizens more voice and limit the influence of special interests, citing polls showing most Texans support I&R. It outlines the process required to amend the Texas constitution to establish I&R rights for citizens.
The document discusses many issues facing the United States including political polarization, economic inequality, environmental degradation, flaws in the democratic system, and societal problems. It argues that the current systems of government, economics, and society are not adequately addressing these challenges and proposes numerous reforms to improve democracy, reduce the influence of money in politics, strengthen worker and environmental protections, and promote shared prosperity and sustainability.
