Legislative #2

Constitutional Connection:


"All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."


Explanation of Connection:
This connects to article one of the constitution because it talks about how people want to sue the government for making citizens buy health care. The Virgina judge says that its unconstitutional. personally i think that everybody should buy health care insurance because if something happen and they don't have insurance thats more money to barry them. Since there are three branches of government other branches can over ride them. This is whats happening now. and now since this bill was passed it has effected the Virgina law which says you cant force Virgina's residents to buy coverage. people are now saying that congress acted in there own authority. This shows congress in action. they now passed a Bill and many citizens are mad. but i think it a great bill. even if people sue the government or try to override it, the president can veto or pass it.. and then it has to then go to the supreme court. i think this is a good article for the legislative branch.

Constitutional Connection:
Article 1, Section 1
"All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."



Explanation Connection:
  This article represents the first article section one because the picture refers to the congress. As you might notice the McDonald has been changed to McCongress and that it says billions and trillions are robbed.Some people feel as if the government robes the citizens of there money bye having them pay high taxes. And they don't see where the money goes besides free education and police and fireman, they don't see there money grow.It also changed Ronald mcdonald to Ronald mcgovernment and its showing how the Ronald mcgovernment is being greedy and eat Obama's stimulus package. the stimulus package was to give people who were financially unstable. but the United states is already in a recession so we don't have the money to bail people out there personal problems. and this political cartoon is trying to show how are congress is very greedy.  Ronald says that no federal agencies will go with out funding. Which is taking more money we don't have. in ways i think is is a perfect example of our congress. because we sometimes are greedy with the money we have. sometimes the things that are most important to the poeple are not passed and then the non important ones are the ones are money are wasted on. its says ronald has supersized himself again..lol


i think with out the legislative branch alot of laws would be unjust and that alot of things that are passed are not for the people it would bre one person. so i think this is essential to the Constitution.
