It includes multiple sources of law from constitutions, statutes, regulations, and case law.

Ltgov Con Conv Healthcare
Andre Bauer, the Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, wrote to his colleagues in the state legislature urging them to support a resolution calling for a constitutional convention to overturn the new federal healthcare law. He argues that planned lawsuits and repeal efforts will not be successful, but that a constitutional convention as allowed under Article V could amend the Constitution to reverse the law, if 34 states pass a similar resolution. Bauer asks the legislators to quickly sponsor the resolution and help "move NOW to reverse this law" which he says oppresses basic freedoms.

Essay 4 ArgumentBackgroundIn 2014, President Barack Obama .docx
Essay 4: Argument
Background:
In 2014, President Barack Obama signed 12 executive orders directing various agencies in the departments of State, Justice, and Homeland Security to refrain from deporting some 4 million adult immigrants illegally present in the United States if they are the parents of children born here or legally present here, and if they hold a job, obtain a high-school diploma or its equivalent, pay taxes, and stay out of prison. However, for the president Congress had rejected the conditions he established for avoiding deportation. In response to the executive orders, 26 states and the House of Representatives sued the president and the recipients of the orders, seeking to prevent them from being enforced. The States and the House argued that the president effectively rewrote the immigration laws and changed the standards for the deportation of unlawfully present adult immigrants.
The states also argued that because federal law requires them to offer the same safety net of social services for those illegally present as they do for those lawfully present, the financial burden that the enforcement of those orders would put upon them would be far beyond their budgetary limits. Moreover, they argued, enforcement of the president’s orders would effectively constitute a presidential command to the states to spend their own tax dollars against their wishes, and the president lacks the power to do that. In reply, the president argued that the literal enforcement of the law creates an impossible conundrum for him. He does not want to deport the parents of American children, as that destroys families and impairs the welfare of children, and he cannot deport children who were born here, as they are American citizens. The case was filed in Texas, where a federal district court judge agreed with the states and signed an order that prohibited the feds from enforcing the president’s orders, pending a full trial. The feds appealed.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit in New Orleans upheld the injunction against the president. In so doing, it agreed with the states that the financial burden on them that would come from the enforcement of these executive orders would be unconstitutional. It also agreed with the House of Representatives that the president exceeded his authority under the Constitution and effectively rewrote the laws. In early April 2016, the Supreme Court heard the feds’ appeal. Because the seat formerly occupied by the late Justice Antonin Scalia for 30 years is still vacant, the court has just eight justices -- for the most part, four conservatives and four liberals. A tie vote in the court, which appears likely in this case, will not set any precedent, but it will retain the injunction against the president.

The document discusses the history and importance of the Equal Rights Amendment in guaranteeing equal rights and protections under the law regardless of sex. It outlines key events like Alice Paul first proposing the ERA in 1923 and the renewed movement in the 1960s-70s. While many states have adopted ERAs, the federal ERA failed to be ratified by the 1982 deadline due to opposition campaigns spreading misinformation. Proponents argue an ERA is still needed to ensure full legal equality and prevent rights from being rolled back.
John G. Roberts
Here are a few key points regarding hate speech and hate groups:
- Hate speech that incites imminent violence is not protected by the First Amendment. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that hate groups themselves are protected under free speech.
- Some argue hate groups should not have free speech protections if their speech targets and threatens groups. However, the Court has found it difficult to clearly define hate speech without infringing on free expression.
- Throughout history, hate groups have emerged to target various groups, often through intimidation and violence. The oldest is the Ku Klux Klan formed after the Civil War to target blacks and their allies.
- Today, hundreds of hate groups remain active in the U.S.,
Judicial review
The Supreme Court case of United States v. Nixon established that the President is not above the law. The case involved a special prosecutor subpoenaing audio tapes of Oval Office conversations related to the Watergate affair. President Nixon refused to turn over the tapes, citing executive privilege. However, the Supreme Court ruled that the defendants' right to potentially exculpatory evidence outweighed the President's privilege claim if national security was not at risk.

The Supreme Court has the power and duty to interpret laws and decide what the law is when two laws conflict.

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the country and its rulings cannot be appealed.

Government notes chapter 1 intro
The origins of America's government can be traced back 200-300 years to ideas from the Enlightenment that influenced the colonists. The 13 original colonies established different forms of self-governance but faced increasing control from Britain in the mid-1700s, leading to calls of "no taxation without representation" and eventually the American Revolution. Delegates met at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and drafted the U.S. Constitution, which was then ratified and implemented, establishing a strong federal government of separated powers.
