Project 2 2

SSTH 037

Option A: State Legislature

Select a bill from a state legislature that you think is important. Discuss the bill’s progress through

the legislature. Be sure to note the state and bill about which you are writing at the start of your

project.

Use the journals and proceedings of your state’s legislature as the basis for your project. These

records are available online as well as in many libraries. Also, newspapers and local news programs

may be helpful.

Your project will be graded according to the following criteria:

● An explanation of the bill. (25 points)

● The significance of the bill. Note its purpose and describe the changes it will bring.(25

points)

● A summary of discussion about the bill. (25 points)

● Explanation of the bill’s passage or failure. Note the results of the final vote. How many

legislators voted for the bill, and how many voted against it? Did one political party favor the

bill more than the other?(25 points)

Option B: Local Reform

Imagine a civic reform that you would like to make in your local community. Some examples of civic

reform are provided. They are only examples, and you do NOT have to choose one of them. Choose

an issue that is important in your town or area.

● a new traffic safety law (e. g., reserving certain lanes on busy streets for bicyclists or

prohibiting bicycling on busy streets, reserving certain roads for car pools)

● a new environmental protection law (e. g, annual or bi-annual inspection of vehicle exhaust

systems)

● public support for a local charity (e. g., shuttle service for donors to a local blood bank)

● a public work (e. g., a new road, a dog run area, a park, a shooting range, a swimming pool,

new parking areas)

● a public service (e. g., improved bus routes or schedules, new requirements for road

maintenance, more efficient garbage collection, greater access to recycling drop-offs, public

safety seminars)

● repeal of an unnecessary law (e. g., a leash law for cats, a high local tax, restrictions on

where restaurants and stores can be located)

● redirecting city funds (e. g., cutting support for an unpopular tourist attraction and using the

money to improve roads)

Explain the issue and why you think the reform is necessary. Then describe the steps you would

need to take to enact the reform. Use at least one source to document the political processes in your

community.

Your presentation will be graded as follows:

● Explanation of the issues (assume your teacher is not familiar with them). (20 points)
