Okay. The goal of a democratic government is to promote
- 00:06 - 00:11
the the rule of law which ensures that laws are
- 00:11 - 00:12
fair and people are being.
- 00:13 - 00:16
Majority of laws come from the federal government, which makes
- 00:17 - 00:19
major change in the everyday life of americans.
- 00:21 - 00:22
It is widely believed them.
- 00:23 - 00:27
Issues should be decided by the responsibility of the state.
- 00:28 - 00:31
This comes from the fact of a diverse society that
- 00:31 - 00:34
we live in, which means varying opinions can differ from
- 00:34 - 00:34
state state.
- 00:37 - 00:41
There are many opinions, many benefits that come from giving
- 00:41 - 00:46
more power to the state which comes to issues such
- 00:47 - 00:52
as gun control, legalization, different soft drugs.
- 00:52 - 00:56
And I'll get into what I mean myself drugs in
- 00:56 - 01:01
traffic walls, almost all the issues and in pointless arrests
- 01:02 - 01:04
or conflict all over the United States.
- 01:06 - 01:11
These costs these conflicts caused turmoil in very part various
- 01:11 - 01:15
parts of our world and put our entire country and
- 01:15 - 01:22
rather defensive state and foster since mistrust among politicians and
- 01:22 - 01:24
citizens. Uh huh.
- 01:25 - 01:28
The first issue I'm going to go ahead and talk
- 01:28 - 01:38
about is the legalization of certain soft drugs and what
- 01:38 - 01:42
I mean by that is uh things like marijuana and
- 01:43 - 01:47
uh some forms of THC and stuff like that.
- 01:47 - 01:52
It comes from a a medical and kind of a
- 01:53 - 01:58
uh huh a criminal justice standpoint.
- 02:00 - 02:01
Uh huh.
- 02:08 - 02:13
Okay. According to the unifier form crime report that is
- 02:13 - 02:15
issued by the FBI every year.
- 02:16 - 02:25
Uh approximately 1250 123,579 people were arrested on drug charges
- 02:25 - 02:31
alone. Uh Most of these arrests could have been avoided
- 02:32 - 02:36
if the state would would have the power to change
- 02:37 - 02:42
that arrestable offense into just simple citation.
- 02:44 - 02:50
This this idea can help eliminate some of the overpopulation
- 02:51 - 02:54
problems that we're having in our correctional system today.
- 02:56 - 03:00
And we could use the money that's coming in from
- 03:00 - 03:04
these citations and put it back into our community and
- 03:04 - 03:06
make it a better place to live for everybody.
- 03:08 - 03:08
Uh huh.
- 03:10 - 03:15
Mhm. Uh The next topic I want to talk about
- 03:15 - 03:21
is giving States the uh huh the power to decide
- 03:21 - 03:23
on gun laws, right?
- 03:24 - 03:29
And this comes from a constant debate about what laws
- 03:29 - 03:34
should be passed, what what should be banned in other
- 03:34 - 03:37
issues involving guns?
- 03:38 - 03:47
Our forefathers uh wrote the constitution and Put in the
- 03:47 - 03:52
2nd amendment which allowed us to the right to own
- 03:52 - 03:53
and bear arms.
- 03:55 - 04:00
Uh this this issue creates a lot of conflict between
- 04:01 - 04:01
political leaders.
- 04:03 - 04:06
There's the citizens of the United States and lawful gun
- 04:06 - 04:12
owners giving the States the power to decide on on
- 04:13 - 04:14
the on these laws.
- 04:15 - 04:19
Kid remedy some of the issues that we have when
- 04:19 - 04:25
it comes to talking about and uh deciding on these
- 04:26 - 04:32
gun laws and it could possibly eliminate or I wouldn't
- 04:32 - 04:32
say eliminate.
- 04:33 - 04:42
But mm, it could lessen the amount of gun violence
- 04:42 - 04:44
we have in our societies.
- 04:47 - 04:47
Uh huh.
- 04:49 - 04:51
The last topic I want to talk about is the
- 04:52 - 05:00
the the fact that I believe states should have the
- 05:00 - 05:10
power to apply and deny charted laws According to the
- 05:10 - 05:16
Department of Transportation in 2019, there were approximately 3,615 fatalities
- 05:18 - 05:18
that occurred.
- 05:21 - 05:23
It is believed that if we give the states more
- 05:24 - 05:29
power over the decision for the traffic laws and violation,
- 05:30 - 05:36
our laws and what we consider violations, we could reduce
- 05:36 - 05:41
the amount of traffic fatalities that happen every year and
- 05:41 - 05:46
decrease the amount of traffic violations that occur every day.
- 05:49 - 05:53
No, at the end of the day, giving more states
- 05:54 - 05:58
more power over which which laws are passed, which lines
- 05:58 - 06:01
are denied is trying to make our state and our
- 06:02 - 06:04
country a better place to live in the conflict.
- 06:05 - 06:09
That happens almost daily comes to an end, needs to
- 06:09 - 06:10
come to an end.
- 06:11 - 06:16
I firmly believe that these changes we can with these
- 06:16 - 06:18
changes that we can come together more as a country
- 06:19 - 06:21
and as Abraham Lincoln said.
- 06:22 - 06:24
If the house is divided against itself, that house cannot
- 06:25 - 06:28
stand, Thank you for your time and your consideration.
- 06:29 - 06:30
And I hope you have a nice day.
