    Parliament is the national representative body which has supreme legislative powers within its jurisdiction. While it oversees the completion of a number of other tasks parliaments’ main role is undoubtedly to make and pass laws and it has to be said that it achieves this role efficiently. Parliament and the members of parliament are elected solely by the people and are therefore responsible to the voting public. When passing laws parliament has the ability to, as part of its law making process obtain expert opinion with regards to tough and controversial issues. This process of law making is a completely structured procedure which follows a routine series of stages whenever a piece of legislation is proposed. These factors amongst others all contribute to the effective and efficient law making system that parliament is. While like any other structured organisation parliament has a number of weaknesses and faults these are minor and have very little effect on parliament as a law-making institution.…

    The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution applies the Bill of Rights to the states. The Due Process clause outlines procedural laws when the government affects an individual’s life, liberty, or property rights. If the government has to interfere with an individual’s or business’s rights for instance, procedures are that they must give proper notice first. The states’ substantive power to control an individual’s rights is limited by the Due Process Clause. For example, laws passed by the state must be published and written specifically so that anyone may understand them (Melvin, 2011).…

    The heart of the constitution is the National Supremacy Clause, which states that the constitution and federal laws are the "supreme Law of the Land," meaning it is superior to the law of the states. I personally do not think that the federal laws should always supersede state laws, but there can be times in which the federal government wants the entire country on the same page and they can use their power to do so. The federal government should create laws that effects, and sometimes benefits the country as a whole. The states, on the other hand, should create laws that are unique to the people living in them that do not interfere with the laws set by the federal government.…

    Some states would not abide by all of the federal government laws that where set or make their own laws that interfered with ones that were made. The Public Administration Quarterly said “The constitutions provided for varying degrees of decentralization. Nome, however, were as decentralized as the national government under the Articles. In all states, there was an executive in some form and in New York, Massachusetts, and Hew Hampshire he was elected by the people at large. Other states, however, provided for an executive chosen by a legislature or legislatively appointed body. In most states, the executive was essentially part of the legislature.” The US Constitution divides power between the Federal government and state governments. Giving certain power to the federal government to keep the country in stability to grow in the future like declare war on another country or treaties so the entire country stays on one side of the decision. When the federal government makes a law, the states have to follow it and change any laws that has conflict with it to fit within the parameters of the law. The States have reserved powers with are specifically for the states to regulate. This was the tenth amendment to the constitution and has similar tis to the Articles of…

    In order to enact and enforce the state constitution, the law bill is flowed from federal to state legislatures. Once the law is written and signed by the president (federal) or the governor (states) it is called statutes. At times, there are multiple statutes that are written at the same level of government and it could address the same subject matter. For example, HIPAA and ARRA may address the same subject. Legal language may contain the same wording between the two statutes. Federal statutes may address state laws. For instance, ARRA may provide financial information in the form of grants to get health information technology established under electronic medical records. There have been times where state statutes were written by one state that is written differently to another state. For example, New York State may have a statute addressing a patient’s access to his or her own records, and Pennsylvania may be silent to patient access. Many statutes are no easily enacted and enforced,…
