Does the federal government have the right to ban marijuana under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution?  Why or why not?

 

Reflect: The federal government has many duties, obligations, and powers under the Constitution. Some scholars argue that the reach of the federal government should be limited and constrained. Other scholars argue that the federal government should not be constrained or limited where the welfare of the U.S. people is concerned. For example, in the case, Gonzales v. Raich, the boundaries of the federal government’s definition of interstate commerce are in question. In this case, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agents took marijuana plants from a woman’s home in California under the Federal Controlled Substances Act. However, under California’s Compassionate Use Act of 1996, the plants were allowed for medical use.
Write: In your initial post of at least 250 words, utilize the Constitution, established case law, and scholarly sources to address the following questions:

  • Does the federal government have the right to ban marijuana under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution?  Why or why not?
  • What are some of the political issues that surround this case?

Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references according to APA standards.

Describe the functions, responsibilities, and jurisdictional aspects of the role.

 

For Project One in this course, due in Module Five, you will choose a career in the policing and law enforcement field, and focus on the functions, responsibilities, and jurisdictions of the role; which style of policing it best aligns with; what you can infer about the organization based on each style of policing; the recruitment and candidate vetting process for that career; and which theory of policing it best aligns with.

For this discussion board, you will introduce yourself to your classmates and your instructor and choose the career that will be the focus of the project. You will then describe the functions, responsibilities, and jurisdictional aspects of the career role chosen. First, review the Career Exploration resource. Then, based on your current interests, choose one career from either the “State/Local Law Enforcement” section or the “Federal Law Enforcement” section.

Include the following in your initial post:

  • Introduce yourself and why you are interested in the field of criminal justice.
  • State the career you chose. You are required to pick a career from either the “State/Local Law Enforcement” section or the “Federal Law Enforcement” section.
  • Explain why you chose that career and which category (State/Local Law Enforcement or Federal Law Enforcement) it falls under.
  • Describe the functions, responsibilities, and jurisdictional aspects of the role. While some of the careers are outlined in your textbook, additional research may be necessary. Once you access the Career Exploration resource, you can click on the “Learn More” button below the career chosen for additional information.

How do politics influence decisions that are made which eventually culminate in a policy?

 

Review how the concept of policy is defined within the field of public administration and the role that public administrators play in the policymaking process.

  • How do politics influence decisions that are made which eventually culminate in a policy?
  • Is the target population (that which has a defined problem or set of needs) a key player in the policy process?
  • How does a public administrator balance the needs of the public with the pressure of political constituents?

Accountability of government officials to the public within this context is a vital aspect of public administrative practice.

  • Identify at least one way in which public officials can be held accountable to the public that you believe would be particularly effective.

Respond using the lessons and vocabulary found in the readings, such as: Public Administration, Policy-Making Goals, Equity, Efficiency, Security, Liberty, as well as any information retrieved from outside sources such as journal articles in the SUO Library. Support your answers with examples and research, and cite your research using correct APA format.

Define Civil Liberties; then define Civil Rights.  How are they similar?  How do they differ?  Which civil sequence has more influence on your life as you know it to be now?  Why do you believe this to be so?

 

 

Civil liberties and civil rights are mechanical components that have tremendous influence on the way we live our life.  Each category can be applied in different situations, to identify different experiences for each individual.  People in the USA are beginning to question whether democracy is worth fighting for as more instances are identified in which human beings find themselves ‘above the law’ (e.g. government officials, bureaucrats and civil servants violate laws that otherwise ‘ordinary citizens’ would quickly be found guilty, and be forced to pay fines and/or be confined and incarcerated).  Visit the links below, then respond to the ensuing situations [*do your best to overlook authors’ personal opinions and rather consider the issues identified; also, consider the possibility that these situations maybe taking place in any/all of the 50 states across the USA*].

  1. Define Civil Liberties; then define Civil Rights.  How are they similar?  How do they differ?  Which civil sequence has more influence on your life as you know it to be now?  Why do you believe this to be so?
  2. Where do the courts weigh in?  Search the Supreme Court database:

https://www.supremecourt.gov

then identify one case for each situation (i.e. Civil Liberties case; then a Civil Rights case).  Which situation would have more influence on the quality of life in the states?  Which part of the USA would register a deeper impact of judicial decision(s) reached in the case identified (i.e. in relation to making the most of your life experiences)?
