The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on August 18, 1920. The purpose of the 19th Amendment was to revoke the right for the States and political parties to deny the right to vote to people based on sex. Effectively, this Amendment protected a woman's right to vote. Today it means a little more. With societal changes such as the transgender community, the wording of the 19th Amendment automatically protects the right to vote for the emerging gender identities. In a constitutional democracy, the right to vote is extremely important. In the past, white males were the only demographic allowed to vote. This meant that the only views, wants, and needs being addressed in government were that of white males'. In 1920, this changed because the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. Candidates no longer could focus on just the men and had to appeal to women as well in order to win elections. This gave women a voice in congress and the oval office. With the Civil RIghts movements in the 1960s, the voting rights were extended to all American citizens no matter their sex or race. Being able to choose the candidate to represent you is one of the most important rights in a constitutional democracy. Without such rights, politicians would be free to act in only their own interests without repercussions. Our right to vote gives us the power to put people in power who we think will represent us and work with our best interests in mind--and not just a single individual's interests, but the interests of all demographics no matter what their sex, race, age, or orientation is.

I decided on the Fourteenth Amendment. It states: 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. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. (http://constitution.findlaw.com/amendments.html) The Fourteenth Amendment clearly states citizens of the U.S. and of the state where you live should not deny it's citizen equal protection of the laws. This important amendment is what I think about when I see how African American people are treated by some police officers and it's not only black men. We've witnessed black women treated unthinkable as well. Maybe law enforcement should have to know the U. S. Constitution and all amendments. The Constitution and federal laws are subject to interpretation and review by the Supreme Court. State constitutions and state laws should provide additional protections for civil rights and liberties. Of course not all law enforcement personnel are corrupt and there are many more good police officers than bad. We certainly need police officers to protect our communities and to keep us safe. The Fourteenth Amendment is very important to our democracy but the protection is not equal for people of color. Doctors take an oath not to do harm to a human being, but law enforcement does not have to follow that same creed. We all know that it is a very dangerous job to be a police officer and they signed up to do the job. African Americans are American citizens but are denied equal protection of the laws. Some say policemen need special training to interact with people of color. Really? Imagine what a wonderful country this would be if this amendment applied to every American citizen. We need laws for policemen just like any other occupation has to follow laws. The system is not set up to do anything about policing the police.

No Child Left Behind (NCLB) was signed in 2002 by George W. Bush to help make America proficient in education. This requires students to be tested in math and reading, and they must score so well to be considered proficient. They would keep records of schools and how well they were doing. The idea was by 2013 that 100% of schools to be proficient in the respected areas. If they were not able to meet the standards, they would be penalized. (Klein, 2015).

Race To The Top (RTTT) had a different approach to it. Rather than penalize schools for falling below a certain standard, they would reward schools who exceeded the expectation with grant money for their school. This has shown more success than NCLB because you are rewarding good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior. In the various psychology classes I have taken over the course of my life they always teach you about classical conditioning. I have always responded to rewarding something I did well rather than punishing me for something I did wrong.

As far as both initiatives go, Delaware has done fairly well. For NCLB teachers were scoring between 78% to 88% percent proficient which was greater than many of the other states. Even though Delaware did well, they chose to opt out because it was not worth it for them. (NEA, 2016). For RTTT, Delaware was one of the first states to receive grant money for our schools. (Hamilton, 2010). While national initiatives may be burdensome at times, Delaware has shown that we can handle it and be rewarded for our efforts.

The No Child Left behind Act from 2001 one had a very big impact on my state. The act made schools that were doing badly even worse than before in a so called attempt to reform education nationality. In light of the fact that this act pushed standardized testing it did not help school that was already doing bad. The act works so that school who do not reach AYP Annually yearly progress is punished by having funding cut(education.pa.gov, 2016).. While on the other hand schools that meet their mark receive adequate funding. This only increased the educational gap in Pennsylvania between the suburban and urban area schools. Think of it like this, there are plenty of schools who fail just below the mark; however funding would still be cut pushing them even further than before (education.pa.gov, 2016).

The other policy reach for the top is another story. The goal of this policy was to close the gap between the areas. The policy focused on a number of objectives (education.pa.gov, 2016)... Including early child hood education for low income families, college prep, and work force development. I can personally attest to the work force development in the Philadelphia and Chester area both cities have a youth work force development program called work ready. It is in place for teens to get a taste of the professional life. I entered the program at the age of eighteen and I am currently employed by the company I was connected with through work ready. However I did not know it was a policy implement by the Obama administration.

Hello Timothy,
I like your post especially where it explains about everyone’s right to vote and when this
Amendment was done in the U.S constitution. It shows the 19th Amendment was done on August
18th 1920. Your post further explains that today’s gender equality has started being embraced.
Saying that,...
