Congress creates and implements laws while federal agencies enforce and regulate laws.
Prompt: Review the Article I U.S. Constitutional provisions.
1. If the power to enact laws is vested in Congress, how is it that there are so many federal agencies that enact regulations that carry the weight and power of law?
2. In addition, evaluate whether Congress should raise the mandatory minimum wage. Consider all aspects you deem relevant (constitutional, economic, etc.) THEN: Discuss which ethical framework would persuade you in an argument in favor of raising the minimum wage. Discuss which ethical framework would support a decision against raising the minimum wage.
Student two:
Congress creates and implements laws while federal agencies enforce and regulate laws. Agencies protect congress and the government from illegal activity. The federal agencies are basically a form of law enforcement like police who handle their department of specialization. Congress consists of the house and senate who are the electoral college and vote on bills to pass and turn into laws. Our votes don’t count, but they seem to have influenced members of congress over time. The agencies ensure the laws passed are obeyed by citizens and the government officials themselves. “Legislative staff link Members of Congress and their constituents, theoretically facilitating democratic representation (Hertel-Fernandez: 2019).”
Congress should raise the federal minimum wage. Its highly unhealthy to have a low minimum wage because its not fair to the middle class to make such little money while rich irrelevant artists and athletes make large amounts of money for singing songs and playing games. Its basically unconstitutional and unreasonable and irrational to have people working to survive and making $7 an hour. I am a small business owner, but most people can’t even afford to buy my product which is annoying to me. I like my business because it’s clean and safe and I only receive checks and cash as payment because my customers are usually rich and part of the top 1% of society; but I only make 1 or 2 sales a month if I’m lucky. I honestly didn’t even make a single sale during the whole month of November. I would rather make a few more sales a month if I could and have a society which wasn’t so sick and gross looking. Raising the wage would include a straight tax on all goods of about 10% and things would still simply balance out, except maybe the government would make more money as well. Most business owners weather they are large corporate or small sole proprietorship’s fear taxes and don’t want to pay much; but the government can’t tax me more then 50% of my earnings because that would not be reasonable so that is not of a concern for me with common sense. Anyone who has a problem with being taxed 25% of their earnings has seriously psychological problems. Honestly if society did raise the minimum wage then the government would be making more money and probably only tax business owners at a reasonable rate of about 15%.
