This document provides a detailed summary of the major constitutional amendments that have been made to Pakistan's 1973 Constitution. It outlines 26 total amendments, describing the key changes made by each amendment. Some notable amendments include the 8th amendment which strengthened the presidency, the 13th amendment which strengthened the prime minister, and the 18th amendment which devolved powers to provinces and strengthened parliament. The document also discusses the road leading to the 18th amendment, including provisions in the Charter of Democracy signed by the PPP and PML-N.
Article IV of the US Constitution outlines requirements for relations between states. It requires states to give full faith and credit to legal proceedings of other states, and guarantees citizens of each state the privileges and immunities of citizens in other states. It also establishes procedures for returning fugitives from justice and fugitive slaves to the states they fled from, and outlines the process for admission of new states and Congressional power over US territories. Article IV further guarantees each state a republican form of government and federal protection from invasion and domestic violence upon request.
This document outlines a pledge for political candidates to commit to securing full statehood equality for western states in terms of public land management. It argues that federal management of public lands in the west is failing to ensure healthy forests, wildlife, communities, and recreation. A legal analysis found that western states are entitled to the same rights over public lands as eastern states. Turning ordinary federal lands over to state control through the #FreeTheLands movement would make land management more efficient and protect access to recreation, while respecting valid existing rights. The goal is fundamental fairness and equality for western states in determining the future of their own public lands.
The document advocates for the transfer of federal public lands in western states to state control. It argues that federal control of over 50% of lands in western states has led to dysfunctional management resulting in catastrophic wildfires, restricted access to natural resources, and economic hardship for western communities that are dependent on federal subsidies. The document proposes that transferring public lands to state control would lead to better stewardship, economic opportunity, and independence for western states in managing the lands and resources within their own boundaries, in line with their statehood rights.
The document discusses Utah's Transfer of Public Lands Act, which calls on the federal government to transfer ownership of most federal lands in Utah back to the state. It provides background on land ownership in Utah, noting that the federal government owns about two-thirds of the state's land. It then makes the case that the Transfer Act is constitutional and consistent with the original intent of Utah's founding, when the federal government was expected to eventually dispose of public lands. It argues that interpreting Utah's Enabling Act and the U.S. Constitution in their original contexts supports the validity of the Transfer Act.
This document provides information about Senator Jennifer Fielder and Senate Joint Resolution 15 (SJ-15), which conducted a legislative study of federal land management in Montana. Some key points:
- Senator Fielder is from Montana and chairs SJ-15, which had strong bipartisan support.
- SJ-15 found that federal lands make up over 27 million acres in Montana and that federal funding and management of these lands is inadequate, jeopardizing environmental, economic, and social factors.
- A county survey conducted for SJ-15 showed widespread concerns about issues like wildfires, access restrictions, and payments to counties being too low to make up for non-taxable federal lands.
The state that successfully compelled the transfer of its public lands using these arguments was Nevada. In the late 19th century, Nevada argued for the transfer of federal lands within its borders using reasoning around state sovereignty, unfair restrictions on revenue generation and management compared to eastern states, health and welfare of its citizens, and fulfillment of the terms of its statehood enabling act - ultimately resulting in the transfer of public lands to Nevada's control.
This document discusses the argument for transferring public lands from federal to state control in western states. It argues that federal control of over 50% of western lands has led to dysfunctional management resulting in catastrophic wildfires, restricted access to resources, and economic hardship for western communities. The document advocates for transferring control of public lands, except for national parks and designated wilderness areas, to willing western states. It cites evidence that states generate greater economic returns from land management compared to the federal government. The goal of the transfer is to improve access, environmental health, and economic productivity through more responsive local stewardship of public lands by the states.
This document discusses the unequal treatment of Western states compared to Eastern states with regards to federally controlled public lands. It notes that while Eastern states had sovereignty over their lands from the beginning, Western states had over 90% of their lands controlled by the federal government indefinitely. It highlights the arguments made by Illinois Representative Orlando Ficklin in 1848 for a bill to cede public lands to the states, including that all states must have equal sovereignty and rights to develop their resources. It also discusses how Senator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri relentlessly advocated for reforming the system to transfer more control of public lands to the states.
The American Lands Council is a non-profit organization formed in 2012 with a mission to transfer federal public lands to local control. They are seeking an Office Manager to work full-time out of their South Jordan, Utah office. Responsibilities include managing finances, scheduling events, processing paperwork, overseeing the website, and assisting with operations. Qualified candidates should have skills in Microsoft Office, QuickBooks, communication, and working independently. Experience with public lands issues, education materials, and overseeing employees is preferred.
The document discusses the history of federal control over public lands within states and arguments for transferring those lands to state control. It notes that when new states were admitted to the union, compacts were created to transfer federal public lands within the new states equally to the states. However, vast amounts of land remained under long-term federal control in western states like Oregon. The document argues that this unequal treatment of western states violates the terms of statehood and harms state sovereignty, revenues, and ability to manage resources and growth. It advocates for the transfer of federal public lands to state control on equal terms as the original states and early western states like Illinois that successfully compelled such land transfers.
The resolution supports studying the transfer of federal lands in Mineral County, Montana to state control. It notes that 82% of the county's land is federally managed, and federal management has broken promises of sustained yield practices, multiple use, and payment in lieu of taxes. As a result, the county has become impoverished. Further, the federal government has allowed dangerous fuel loads to accumulate, threatening communities and increasing wildfire risks. In contrast, state-managed lands in Montana are said to be managed responsibly and profitably.
St. George, UT Chamber of Commerce Letters in Support of the TransferAmerican Lands Council
The St. George Chamber of Commerce wrote to several Utah representatives and senators thanking them for their past support of transferring federal public land management to the state. They request continued help passing legislation for this. A recent report found that revenue from public lands could cover current management costs if transferred. The letter argues state management would improve economies, education, and communities compared to the federal government.
Lincoln County in Montana has faced declining revenue from federal lands over the past two decades, leaving its fiscal condition delicate. Revenue to the county from the US Forest Service's 25% Fund, based on economic activity in the Kootenai National Forest, has fallen from $4.5 million in 1994 to around $330,000 annually since 2008. This has forced large cuts to the county road budget and use of cash reserves. The county's dire fiscal situation is closely tied to unresponsive federal forest management policies that have turned the forest from an economic asset into a liability.
