What is the Magna Carta and how does it affect the US Criminal Justice System?

Answer 1

Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter", literally "Great Paper"), also called Magna Carta Libertatum ("Great Charter of Freedoms"), is an English charter originally issued in 1215. Magna Carta was the most significant early influence on the extensive historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law today. Magna Carta influenced the development of the common law and many constitutional documents, such as the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, and is considered one of the most important legal documents in the history of democracy.

It's not as good a solution as full legalization. It would mean less work for the cops, courts and prisons, ostensibly. But since commerce in weed would still be illegal, it wouldn't affect the black market. Legalization would create a new legitimate commercial industry for the growth, processing and marketing of weed. The black market would be immediately deprived of a large source of income, many new jobs would be created, and a new source of tax revenue would be created for government. I think full legalization remains unlikely entirely because of inertia. Politicians are generally too timid and short sighted to do the jobs they're elected for really. They only excel at getting themselves elected.
