...Maegan Forney GOVT 2306-N01 10 June 2015 Special Project #1 Governor Rick Perry gave a speech in 2009 regarding the issues Texas was facing. Governor Perry was extremely confident throughout his speech. During Perry’s speech, He was constantly referring back to the Texas Constitution. Perry is a right winged man who takes extreme pride in his state. At the end of his main point, Perry stated “This is how Texans have always been, very about themselves,” which is a good thing. Each state should put its foundations before everything else. The 10th Amendment subject has been debated for some time now, according to Perry. His belief is that the constitution does not empower the federal government to infringe upon our states rights. A states primary concern should be the peoples individual rights and responsibilities that the state has. I think that if Texas returned to what the Constitution and 10th Amendment really meant, it would become a much stronger, as a state. Perry is interested in being “a leader in a very strong 10th Amendment movement” and working with those who agree with him in the sense that Washington has become too intrusive. He wants to put America back on the right track, and to do so he needs each state to start competing with each other to encourage prosperity. To become a powerful country with a strong economy again, Perry believes that acting out the 10th Amendment will be something that will take him to where he wants to be. I think that everything...

...Govt 2306 -63005 March 3, 2014 In 2010, Former Gubernatorial candidate, Debra Medina made Nullification a Major aspect of her campaign. Nullification can simply be defined as the failure of a U.S state to enforce a federal Law within its boundary. Debra Medina Claimed that Texas has the power to nullify federal acts deemed unconstitutional. She believes that Texas has the right to invalidate any federal Law the citizen view as unacceptable. In 1798, Thomas Jefferson started the first Nullification in history which was the Kentucky Resolution. He believed that Government does not have the right to Impose it will upon the people without their consent. If the people decide they do not give the government consent, then such will is nullified. Debra Medina based her claim on the 10th Amendment which states that “the powers not delegated to the united states by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states ,are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people”, and before the civil war. She argued that the overall power rested with the state of Texas, so base on the 10th amendment Texas state has the power to get representative in congress and pass a bill to nullify any Law passed by congress that is viewed as unconstitutional. In her claim of Nullification, it means that the state of Texas can do what the Supreme Court can do. Nullification is seen as the means of the State to check the power of the Federal government. Medina being a member of Tea...

...interest of each citizen of that state. Many states have laws that other states do not have. Each state is different but is ultimately rule by the federal government. In Texas the court system consist of Justice Court, Municipal Court, County-Level Court, District Court, Court of Appeals, Supreme Court, and the Court of Criminal Appeal. Texas leads the nation in execution and one of the largest populations of offenders incarnated in the free world. Texas seems to practice a policy of being "tough on criminals," reflecting the belief of most Texans that a strong deterrence is the most effective crime-fighting policy. Texas has the highest incarceration rate of any state or Western industrialized nation and is the leading state in both sentencing people to death and the number of prisoners executed (Dille, 2008). The Texas court system is built around a primary county. These counties are name county seats. These counties are the location of all major court system. Each town has a jail system and host minor court hearings. The major court cases are held in the town county seat. In Bryan, Texas, which is a sister of College Station, location in Brazos County, is the primary county seat. The Brazos Valley County consists of five towns. Each town in the Brazos Valley has their own city jail. The lowest court system in Texas starts with the Justice and Municipal Court. These court...
