...Federal vs. State Policy Comparison Yadira Garcia Rodriguez Federal vs. States Policy Comparison In this assignment, I will be comparing and contrasting the differences and similarities of the federal and state government as it pertains to their role in the implementation of criminal justice policy, also I will address all aspects of policy development and implementation. A public policy is the body of principles that underpin the operation of legal systems in each state, also I will discuss each of the policies and how they are similar and how they are different. Federal and State policies are made to help keep our Country running smoothly. If there were no policies then keeping our Country safe would be a hard task. Policies are principles that are set to help make our Country operate on a daily bases. I like to think of it as rules that are set to keep our Country safe, because if there were no rules then everyone would be doing their own thing which could cause for a much disorganized situation and a chaos society. What is the definition of federal government? (A government with strong central powers According to "The Free Dictionary” (2012).When it comes to the federal government, their powers also control and pay the debt within this country. They also are the ones that created the rules and walls for immigration. They establish the punishment for those who create counterfeiting crimes. They also provide the fix in the...

...Banjos (State vs. Federal) The United States Judicial System Dee Montano CJA/204 April 3, 2012 Sherre D. Corniel The Dueling Banjos (State vs. Federal) The United States Judicial System Frustration, confusion, and complexity; these three words can and are used regularly to describe the justice system within the United States. A better understanding of the history, principles, and role of the dual court system is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of the American justice system. FEDERALISM vs. ANTI-FEDERALISM The roots of the modern court system in the United States can be found in the principle of federalism. When the delegates met in Philadelphia for the Constitutional Convention among other issues that needed to be addressed was a national judicial system; the Articles of Confederation was woefully inadequate in providing for this. The dual judicial system that exists today was given life with the passage of Article III of the U.S. Constitution ("[t]he judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.") Article III was a compromise between the Federalists, supporters of a strong central government, who thought that the federal judiciary should contain all of the courts (trial, appellate, and supreme). Whereas the Anti-Federalists, proponents of states’ rights, believed that an all-inclusive federal judiciary would minimize states’ rights...

...There are many differences and similarities between state/local governments, and federal governments. The federal government is superior to the state and local governments. State governments do basic things such as licensing professionals, while federal governments do advanced things such as declaring war. The state governments make decisions that have an impact on the states, while federal governments decide the fate of the country. Both state/local governments and federal governments have the same structure. They have the three branches, the legislative branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch. The judicial branch interprets the law/oversees the courts, the executive branch executes the law, meanwhile, the legislative branch...

...American Government FEDERAL POWERS VS STATE POWERS Based on what I have gathered in the lectures Federal Powers are based on more of a national agreement as a whole with declaring what national laws that needs to be made. For instance declaring war as well as raising and maintaining the army and navy. Federal Powers also made laws to enforce the Constitution, and implying powers based on the elastic clause powers that were considered “necessary and proper” for carrying out the enumerated (or express) powers. Based on my research with what I learn through the lecture and web browsing and example of the elastic clause was back in 1791, Federalists in Congress argued that the creation of a national bank was “necessary and proper” for Congress to execute its enumerated powers to coin and borrow money and regulate currency. McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) confirmed Congress’s right to found this national bank. Then we have our three branches that help divide federal powers responsibilities which are the executive branch were the president implements the laws, the legislative branch were the Congress makes the laws, and the judiciary branch where the court system interprets the laws and decided legal controversies. Whereas, the State Powers Exercise powers neither delegated to the national government nor prohibited from the states by the U.S. The lecture used example like being able set legal drinking and smoking ages. State Powers also focused on establishing local governments...

...Tania Covarrubias History 111 Evan Pritsos May 6, 2018 State vs Federal Judiciary Judiciary is one of three branches of government; the other two are the Executive and Legislative branches. The purpose of judiciary is to interpret and protect the law. Judiciary acts like a guardian for our Constitution in our court system. Within the boundaries of each state and coexisting with state courts are numerous federal district and appellate courts that function independently. It may seem overwhelming and baffling to consider what legal matter may be decided in which forum. But for the most part, federal and state courts have their own separate purpose and part in applying the laws before it and administering justice to all. Federal Judiciary The...

...Running head: STATE VS. FEDERAL REGULATIONS PAPER State vs. Federal Regulations Paper XXXXXXXX University of Phoenix XXXXXXX MGT/434 State vs. Federal Regulations Paper Employees are protected by many federal and state laws that regulate what an employer cannot and can do. Therefore, figuring out which employment laws apply to the workforce can present a challenge because they can come from federal and state sources. The laws that are applicable to each workforce sector for employee protections depends on many factors; the number of employees, the type of business it conducts, and if it crosses state boundaries. The purpose of this paper is to examine how federal and state governments differ in their application of employments laws and will discuss an employment protection provided exclusively by a state government. State vs. Federal Wage, hour and employment laws governing employers and employees are set at the state level and the federal level. Often measurable differences between federal laws and state laws exist depending on the state the company is operating in. When this occurs, companies are supposed to comply and govern their policies to follow the laws that offer the best protection to the employee. On the federal level the agency over employment law is The US Department of Labor (DOL) this agency administers federal employment laws. In most states employment laws are administered by the states labor division. With many agencies under...

Layer Cake, Marble Cake....21st Century View: Intergovernmental Relations Do democratic governments need to be organized as federal systems? Great Britain has a Unitary form of government How does this differ from the U.S.? Powerful central government with federal or central government mandates (laws) that are implemented (put into place) throughout the whole country= Unitary govt. Examples: National Health Policy throughout the whole country so that you can go from city to city in Great Britain and use your health card at any hospital.

...Wicker The Role and Functions of Law Michigan Court Structure vs Federal Court State courts are established by a state and Federal courts are established under the US constitution, they are defined mainly by jurisdiction. The court structures in the state of Michigan and the Federal Courts structure are almost the same. The Supreme Court is the highest for both the state and Federal Courts, and right below that is the court of appeals. Next is where the difference begins, the state of Michigan lower courts consist District Court, Probate Court and Municipal Court -if a case in one of these courts leads to a jury trial it is the moved to a higher court, which is the Circuit Court (Court Statistics Project). Then there is the Court of Claims which is the same level as the Circuit Court, the only difference is that the Court of Claims do not handle jury trials. In the Federal Courts right below the Court of Appeal is the U.S. District Courts (i.e. Bankruptcy Courts, U.S. Court of International Trade, U.S. Court of Federal Claims) and then Military Courts (American Government, 2008-2014). Judicial Review The concept of judicial review is to decide whether actions of the executive and legislative branch are legal under the Constitution. Judicial review is important in the US government because it serves as a check on the other branches of government. The Supreme Court also has used judicial review to order federal, state, and local officials to refrain from behaving unconstitutionally...

State police aid the local police department with emergencies and investigations that are beyond the jurisdiction and resource boundaries of the local departments. Federal law enforcement agencies key role in place is to work with certain types of crimes. The FBI, the US marshals and Border Patrol are a few of the main agencies.

...Medicare and Medicaid are both government-sponsored programs designed to help cover healthcare costs. While both were established by the U.S. government in 1965 and are taxpayer funded, they are actually very different programs with differing eligibility requirements and coverage. Medicare is designed to help with long-term care for the elderly, while Medicaid covers healthcare costs for the poor. Medicare is a federal program attached to Social Security. It is available to all U.S. citizens 65 years of age or older and it also covers people with certain disabilities. It is available regardless of income. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps low-income individuals and families pay for the costs associated with medical and long-term custodial care. The federal government funds up to 50% of the cost of each state's Medicaid program, with more affluent states receiving less funding than less affluent states. Because of this federal/state partnership, there are actually 50 different Medicaid programs, one for each state. Unlike Medicare, which is available to everyone, Medicaid has strict eligibility requirements. Medicaid is often used to fund long-term care, which is not covered by Medicare or by most private health insurance policies. Medicaid is the nation's largest single source of long-term care funding. Medicare and Medicaid programs work together to provide medical coverage to elderly and poor people. Medicare is the primary medical coverage provider...

...QUESTION #1 A New American Model - the National Governmental Orbit of Power The auto bailout is a good example of what the federal government can do to react to fiscal down towns. The federal government has the ability to step in and take action during times of great financial difficulty such as the Great Recession of 2008-2009. The federal government can enact policies on the macro level. While cities and local governments take action to solve their local problems, they cannot enact a strategy that will improve the state or national economy. By raising taxes and cutting services, states and cities were making the recession worse and actually were canceling out much of the stimulus being done by the federal government (Kantor & Judd, 2013). In order to counter act the trouble created by local government reaction to the recession, the federal government created a $787 billion stimulus package that included aid to state and local governments. Kantor and Judd state that the federal stimulus did not change the structure of the intergovernmental system, which requires cities to live within their revenue sources. The bail out of the auto industry was a targeted effort on the federal level to save a critical and important industry in the United States. At the time of the bailout, the auto industry contributed 3.6%, or $500 billion, to total U.S. GDP output (Amadeo, 2015). Some say the auto industry bailout was a political move because it was not really necessary. At the time of...

...Tavarrea Jones October 12, 2014 POL 201 Professor Garcia Federal Government VS States on Cannabis Law Conflict The Federal Government’s Law against Marijuana and the State’s recent law decriminalizing marijuana has been a controversy for a short while now. Marijuana is made by taking dry leaves and flowers from a hemp plant. Marijuana has been around for years. The first recorded use of it was in 7000 B.C. The ancient Chinese, Greeks, Egyptians and other countries used the plant as a medical herb. Marijuana was first outlawed by the states starting in 1913. In 1937 the marihuana tax act of 1937 was passed by the federal government. The Marihuana Tax Act (“Act”) is a U.S. federal law that imposed tax on the sale of cannabis, hemp, or marijuana. The Act did not itself criminalize the possession or usage of hemp, marijuana, or cannabis. But included penalty and enforcement provisions to which marijuana, cannabis, or hemp handlers were subject. Violation of these procedures could result in a fine of up to $2000 and five years' imprisonment. (US Legal). In 1970 the controlled substance act was passed. Marijuana was one of the drugs banned as a schedule I drug. All drugs in the United States go through the DEA and the FDA to be classified and put into a schedule. There are five schedules. Schedule I are the highly addictive drugs and schedule v are not highly addictive. By marijuana being put into the schedule I it means that The DEA and the FDA do not believe...
