Explain the process of incorporation, and how it changed the meaning of the Bill of Rights.?
Through a series of Supreme Court rulings in the early- to mid-20th century, the Bill of Rights (the first ten Constitutional Amendments) were slowly imposed on state and local governments by re-interpreting the 5th and 14th Amendments. For example, prior to incorporation only the federal government was restrained by the first amendment's prohibition on laws restraining free speech, free press, and no state religion. At that time state/local governments were only restrained by their respective state constitutions. Since the 1st was incorporated, no government at any level may violate the 1st. Not all of the Bill of Rights has been incorporated. For example, the right to trial by jury in civil trials has not been incorporated yet, and probably never will be.
Should the United States change its immigration laws?
No, Pancha, the problem is more complicated than that. there where quite a few good answers though. we need to enforce the law we already have. they are good laws, and followed correctly, they will work. second, I believe we should get rid of part of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment. it states: Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. This Amendment was meant to give Black slaves citizenship after the civil war, because many in the South believed they were not citizens. they were born here, thus they were justly given the right of citizenship. This, however, does not apply to today's world. we no longer have slaves thank god, and there is no need for this section. It is the anchor baby amendment. an illegal woman comes across the border and has a baby. that baby is technically an american citizen. they can't deport the mother (who couldn't pay her medical bill anyway, so it'll fall to us taxpayers) because who's gonna care for the child? If given to an orphanage, the child may be adopted, but will cost the state money too. the illegal mother now has a reason to stay and bring her husband if she has one, her other children if she has them, etc. The laws we have now, minus Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, are effective IF ENFORCED. and building a wall is a good idea, too.
Why does mass change during a chemical reaction process?
Hey , i'm doing this chem prac , and i cant figure out the answer to this bonus question. The prac im doing is basically about the Law Of Conservation of mass, by mixing Silver nitrate with Potassium Iodide to form Potassium Nitrate + Silver Iodide, weighing them before and after. (i understand the law of conservation of mass and everything, i got the same weights before and after) But i cant work out the answer to this question: When the flask containing the Silver nitrate with Potassium Iodide is placed on the weighing balance the moment the reaction started, it is noticed that the mass fluctuates and drops during the reaction process. Why does this happen? (state the reasoning behind and what is happening on atomic/intermolecular level) I'm thinking it has something to do with atoms breaking rejoining and vibrating against each other, causing the mass to change? Can someone explain to mewhats happenin on an ATOMIC level, containing KEY TERMS and important details?? Thanks
What is a Level One Fingerprint Clearance Card?
Who is required to have a level one fingerprint clearance card? On July 1, 2009, the department began issuing two types of fingerprint clearance cards. This change was mandated by a change in state law. The cards are called the Level One card and the Regular card. Section 411758.07 was enacted which placed a higher eligibility standard to receive a Level One card than what is needed for a regular card. Both cards are valid for six years and fees have not changed. The following programs require a Level One fingerprint clearance card: DES and other government agencies.
Can the Supreme Court Of India change the law (by ANY procedure, clause or right given to it), or can the law be ONLY changed after obtaining a majority in the Parliament?
Law making is possible only by the legislature, not by the judiciary.By the judiciary, as Lord Denning says, can iron out the creases in any law by reading down the provision.Law making is no the duty of the judiciary eventhough some gaps in the legal provisions can be filled by it when some judicial decision making demands it.

How can citizens add, change, or remove the laws in our country?
I think it depends on the state you're in. If you're talking about amending the United States' Constitution on the federal level then this is an extremely difficult process but it can be amended in two ways. 1) 2/3 of both the House and the Senate must vote to ratify the amendment, and 3/4 of the State Legislatures must also vote to ratify the amendment. 2) The American people must sign a petition to hold a Constitutional Convention. If 2/3 of the State Legislatures vote to hold a Constitutional Convention for a specific proposed amendment, then 3/4 of the State Legislatures must actually vote to ratify the amendment. If you're talking about on a state level laws can be added, changed, or rejected via propositions, referendums, and initiatives. How these specifically work depend on your state, but if you'd like to know more about them, click on this link: http://www.kcet.org/news/ballotbrief/ballot-measures/propositions-initiatives-and-referendums-whats-the-difference.html American citizens have a big role to play when it comes to adding or amending laws. Our petition signatures are vital to getting initiatives placed on a ballot. Also, of course, voting is quite an essential responsibility of being a United State's citizen because ultimately we have the power to change and influence our government and our politicians' decisions in creating laws.
How can we change constitution of india?
I think the question should have been “Can we amend our constitution ” ?The answer to these question is YES . Our constitution can be amended provided it does not alter the basic structure o the constitution .Our is the lengthiest written constitution of the world and it is the perfect blend of rigidity and flexibility . What I mean to say by the term a perfect blend is “ It is not too easy to amend the provision the constitution as is the case in the British Constitution nor is it very rigid to change it like the American one ”.The amendment can be done according to the provisions give in Article 368 of the constitution .Article 368 states that amendment can be done only with a special majority of both the houses . Special majority means” the majority of the total membership of the house and two -third of the members present and voting” .For eg - The total strength of the current Lok sabha is 545 ,then545/2 =273 (taking it as the nearest whole number )Let us suppose 400 members are present then400*(2/3) =266Now 266 < 273 , the bill shall not passAnother situation number of members present 500500*(2/3) = 312312 > 273 , the bill shall pass .The president is bound to give is assent to the Constitutional Amendment bill as the 24th Constitutional amendment act , 1971 made it binding on the president .Moreover in the Kesavananda Bharti case , 1973 The Hon’ble Supreme Court declared that no amendment can be made which alters theof the constitution .
