If you could create a new law?

Question

What new law would you bring into power? Or what would you change about your country?

Answer 1

My law would be: The first time a pedophile is convicted would be the last because he/she would never be free again.

Answer 2

I'd make a law which extrapolates on the welfare system and social justice that includes a mission statement saying it is the duty of the government to ensure and increase the happiness and contentment of citizens. Instead of focusing on purely economic growth focus on quality of life. bit hard to get stats for and maybe a too overt granny state, but at least it might make governments care about the people, basically something that is progressive and not limitation law.

umm a law that isn't pure fantasy, environment, free bikes, optional work from home and extensive grants for private sustainability ( generators, solar, insulation, etc). please someone make a socialist state were i can go!!

Answer 3

I would repeal and replace the 14th Amendment. Section 1 of the 14th has three consecutive clauses that are vague and have been misused and abused by the Courts so much that it makes me want to stay away from the ballot box for the rest of my life.

Constitutional law ought to constitute a set of rules so that government (the level of government being commanded) can know what it can or cannot do. Constitutional law ought to "provide guidance and discipline for the legislature, which is entitled to know what kind of laws it may pass," and it ought to "mark the limit of [the Court's] authority." (From Romer v. Evans, 1996; morally correct rhetoric but completely hypocritical in reality.)

Declare that the 14th is repealed (we obviously don't need the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sections of it any more) and is replaced with more clearly stated rules for the states to obey.

In place of the Privileges and Immunities Clause, say that states must obey all provisions of the Bill of Rights except for the 2nd, 7th, and 9th amendments, and the Grand Jury Clause of the 5th.

Clarify that the Due Process Clause means exactly what it literally says and that, as Alexander Hamilton once said, it can never be applied to an act of the legislature (or voters). The Clause guarantees fair, standard PROCEDURES, not laws which judges deem acceptable.

Clarify that the Equal Protection Clause means only one thing: RACIAL equality. Not gender, not sexual orientation, not aliens, not equality for persons born out of wedlock, etc., etc.

The Supreme Court has been at its worst when: 1) it steals Presidential elections, 2) it enforces "unenumerated rights," and 3) picks out "minorities" other than racial minorites for "heightened protection."

"The current state of equal protection and fundamental rights is a travesty. The Court has drifted between different [clauses of the 14th] in deriving these rights as if they were so many coat hooks for the Court to use which-ever one is convenient. The various standards set out by the Court for deriving these rights are so vague as to be virtually useless. ... [T]he Fourteenth Amendment remains a hodgepodge of underdeveloped ideas." -- Evan Gerstmann, "Same-Sex Marriage and the Constitution," (2003) Cambridge University Press, pp 209-210.

Answer 4

If I could create a new law, it would have to be a law stating that no one has to attend work or school the day after the Superbowl. This would be called the Superbowl Monday Law. People stay up somewhat late watching the Superbowl and can't perform to their fullest potential the next day since they are tired. Students slack off because they stay up past their usual bed time to watch the Superbowl. This could all easily be solved if Congress made the day after the Superbowl a national holiday allowing everyone out of school or work. I think its a great idea!

Answer 5

I would make sure that whoever comes to Britain, will have something to offer us in financial terms, like Austrailia do. I would make sure that they would be able to speak our language and respect our religion and traditions. If they cannot meet these requirements, then they should find another country to settle in. If this had been done many years ago, we would not be in the mess we are in now. Our economic resources, our national health system and our population would not be in the sorry state that is in now.
I also agree with Mikey poo about the fact that once paedophiles are convicted, they should stay incarcerated never to be freed!

Answer 6

Special Interest Groups and Organizations are not allowed to support or endorse any political candidate as well as when the candidate is in office.

When a person is elected to an office - he/she must do exaclty what the voters want them to do.

Immigrants must be pre-screened prior to entry into the US and have enough money to sustain them for 5 years before they can become a US citizen. They must also be here, working, for 10 years before they can be eligible for any Welfare or 'free services'.

Answer 7

I would like to make it law ,that we had to have a general election every two years, then we wouldn't have to put up with idiots like Blair and his cronies, ruining our country and our lives, for so long and not actually listening to what the people are saying, they make all sorts of promises to get elected and once in power, they do as they please. Four / five years is along time to be dictated to, so lets go for two and not have to suffer for so long, if we don't like em get em out quicker !!!

Answer 8

I'd probably make 2 laws and make sure they were passed:
the first one would take all the old laws off the books that haven't been used in a long time....like common law if you live with someone...like the one that says you can't live with another person without being married to them....one that says oral sex is illegal....the dumb ones about you can't let geese walk across the road at certain hours (and other stupid ones like that).

the second law I'd make is to cancel out all federal student loans for people who are 62 years old or older whether or not they are blind or in wheel chairs. (the law as it stands now is that the 9% loans are still allowed to be collected on, plus a 15% collection fee, and till you die ...even till you die at 100...unless you are blind or in a wheel chair, and so if you need medication or get sick you're immediately forced into bankruptcy...so whomever is doing the collecting is making money off old people)

Answer 9

A real Constitution to declare the British Republic without a King or a Queen ... ;o)

Answer 10

I'd abolished the link between honours and a place in the House of Lords. Peerage would be by birth or marriage alone.

Answer 11

ban filthy influance on t.v. law to sack liars from government.
laws against secret slanderers that work for government.
laws against anti gods who want to ban religeon.would accept banning false religeon.
bring back ten commandments in law, they cover almost everything.
