Legalization of marijuana in Colorado and other states Introduction The main purpose of this analysis is to document the marijuana legalization in Colorado and what ultimately led to do so. Currently, Colorado is serving as the nation’s experiment essentially by allowing other states and nations to observe the effects of this legislation. Being one of the largest states in terms of land mass, Colorado has always been a state Colorado is one of the largest American states mostly in terms of land mass analysis. The state is located in in the Rocky Mountain region on the western of United States. Therefore, diverse natural recourses in the state have led to the attraction of the plain Indians and the Pueblo people. Admittedly, the discovery of Gold in Colorado has, therefore, attracted many investors and new settlers which have played a major role in sustaining their economy for quite some time. However, Colorado continued relying on its natural recourses as well as tourism and agriculture schemes to sustain its economy but needed to find other methods to increase it. Recently, different states…

Government’s Policy In the 19th Century, Indians were forced to migrate from the eastern sides of the United States to the west of Mississippi River. During that time, The Indian Removal Act that was signed by Andrew Jackson in 1830 did not take effect during his regime because he took a hard stand on that matter. One of the factors that stimulated Indians’ removal was the fact that European settlers wanted to occupy those lands. The Americans also believed that Native Americans were primitive, and thus, they did not want to live close to them. Americans also considered Indians traditions as barbaric and intolerable. Therefore, they believed that assimilation was a vital process that will make them live in peace with them. At that time, Americans claimed that Indians should forsake their religion and accept Christianity so that they could be saved from ‘fires of hell.’  According to Washburn (2014), the establishment of the Dawes Act reinforced numerous changes to the ways of life of Indians by eliminating Indian culture and confiscated and redistributed tribal lands. Indian nations were forced…

Political challenges addressed by Justin Trudeau in Canada In the early eighteenth century,  Canadian government had been subjected to many political challenges. This was due to lack of governmental institutions that would address and respond to the political challenges accordingly. Later, several national institutions were founded and designed to address the different political challenges that  faced Canadian government. Some of the governmental institutions  established were;  the senate, federalism, the constitution Act of 1867, and prime minister ( Jenson et al. 2001). These institutions continued to evolve as they responded to various political challenges and opportunities that faced the Canadian government. The main aim of writing this complimentary essay is to generate more personal variation on the prime minister as one of the institutions that were founded to respond to political challenges in Canada. The paper describes the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, the political challenges that the canadian government faced and how the prime minister addressed them. Initially, the Canadian government was led by the governor-general, who was then in charge of the whole government and could make a decision concerning…

Public Administration and Fiscal policy Part I: Fiscal Policy Section 1: Fiscal Policy and the Recessionary Gap The government can use expansionary fiscal policies to close the recessionary gap. This will involve decreasing taxes or increasing spending. For inflationary gaps, the government uses contractionary fiscal policy, such as raising taxes and reducing expenditures. In solving the recessionary gap, policymakers increase government spending or lower taxes. Increasing government spending results in a shift in the demand curve to the right, which then closes the recessionary gap. If the government increases its spending on products and services, it means that there will be more money in circulation in the economy. As the government buys, it pays in terms of cash or any other form, meaning that those who sell will have more money to spend. Consequently, there will be more money to spend increasing the consumer’s purchasing power (Inman & Rubinfeld, 1991). An increase in consumer purchasing power means an increase in the aggregate demand, which shifts the demand curve to the right, closing the recessionary gap. On the other hand, if…

 effect of government interventions The government intervenes in the economy intending to benefit its country. Free market economies state that government interventions cause an unfair allocation of resources. As a result, government interventions should strictly remain as government interventions. Other people believe that government interventions are powerful in fields such as monopoly and public goods. It is important to note that government interventions can affect economies differently. For one, it promotes equal and fair distribution of resources. The government must intervene in different businesses to ensure that the consumers benefit. The consumers are part of the economy hence the stabilization of the economy. The other effect of government interventions is on market failure. Organizations work by prediction. They try to understand and establish the approximate number of people that will require a certain amount of goods. If their prediction is wrong, then the government can help stabilize the economy. The government also intervenes in the macroeconomic environment to reduce recessions and over unemployment. A recession is described as the decrease or fluctuation of something. In this case, the recession of…

The fiscal federation   The fiscal federation refers to how expenditure side and revenue side are allocated across different sectors of the administration; on the other hand local government refers to lowest form of public administration. The following is contrast between the roles of local government in context of American fiscal federalism to role played local government in other countries.  In revenue sharing the federal government give money to the states with no restrictions attached whatsoever. The federal government allocates money to the local governments .It sets the national budget that determines how funds are allocated .A specific amount of fund is set aside for the purpose specifically set by the government .This results in direct economic impact on the country. The local government is favored in all revenue allocation systems while the fiscal federalism is tilted more in favor the federal government (Xu &Warmer, 2015). The federal government uses a number of tactics to compel states to follow its policies and guidelines. The state is   ordered to comply but usually applies pressure more subtly by threatening to withhold funds…

Federalism Can Solve the Abortion Fight             Federalism has appeared to be a challenge to democracy in the US with the mixture in the system, causing conflicts between the national and state governments. A central government is always stronger as laws passed at the top are applied with less resistance from lower agencies. The US, however, faces a situation where states hold power to come up with policies that are not in line with the national government’s plans. Some of the policies may be a contradiction in different states. The abortion laws have, for a long time, been a case of contention with states coming up with laws that befit the interests of their residents. Federalism in the US has been accused of giving equal power to both the national and state governments. The states have been allowed to come up with policies that do not necessarily require the support of the national government. The national government has been forced to adhere to the policies developed by various states to avoid unnecessary conflicts. However, some policies may come out differently…

The system of governance Governments have adopted different systems of governance throughout the history. The system of governance adopted, along with the individuals who are in control of the government, has had great impacts on the manner in which countries develop. There are many systems of government each with its distinct characteristics around the world even today, ranging from federal, unitary and confederal system. It is therefore very important to understand the distinct characteristic of each system as well as their functions. In federal government for instance, power is distributed state governments and center making it indispensable for its existence. For administrative purposes, provincial governments are granted autonomy by the central government. In this system also division of power has been made in such a way that matters related to national importance are dealt with by the central government whereas those of regional interest are dealt with by provincial governments. The second characteristic of federation is its written and firm constitution. The constitution under this system of government is highly respected and considered as the highest of the laws controlling…

Government and private sectors One of the biggest challenges that many government and private agencies face today is that of cybersecurity. Nowadays, almost every transaction carried out by a government, or a private agency is backed up by a system in one form or another. This has given rise to the need for securing the data stored in them, as well as ensuring its safety when it is being transferred to another person. Many types of external attacks might end up compromising this data, which is mostly private. These attacks can be in the form of malware attacks, botware attacks, worms, denial of service attacks, phishing attempts, social engineering, and others. These attacks can be prevented by a few precautionary measures, such as installing antivirus software in the system, scanning the system regularly for viruses, installing Intruder Detection Systems (IDS and Intruder Prevention System (IPS), and by using secured network while transferring private data, among others. Government and private sectors today are mostly unsuccessful in providing cybersecurity. As a result of this, much valuable data is being compromised when an…

Government system and The Madison’s dilemma Define the dilemma, list, and briefly describe the four institutional choices countries make to address the dilemma. The dilemma described below is how to handle democracy properly. Democracy requires a balance where the rules support both participation and contestation. For a nation to have a valid government system, should they either concentrate the power or disperse it. There are four institutional choices that a country can make. The first crucial decision is to decide whether the constitution should be unitary or federal. Unitarian principles are the ones in which the law allows the central government exclusive and final authority over policymaking. The local, state, and regional governments grant the central government veto power. In federalism, the constitution gives power to two or more governments. They overlap political authority over the same piece of territory and group of people. Another institutional choice is choosing a presidential or parliamentary or hybrid semi-presidential system. The third institutional choice is to have a judicial review of parliamentary supremacy. The last option is to have plurality or majority-rule versus…
