Legal Reform on an Issue -- Proposal Argument Essay

Considering Proposing Legal Reform? 
Be sure that you understand what is involved in legal reform before including it in your proposal essay.
Use the handouts below.


Proposal Argument
Legal Reform on an Issue

In the past, students have asked about the possibility of including legal reform in their proposal argument essay.  While this is perfectly acceptable to include, but not required, you will first need to understand what goes into legal reform in the United States.

PROPOSAL FOR LAW REFORM
If your proposal (Essay 1) is to argue for laws to be passed to remedy the opioid crisis in America, you may want to review the 18th Amendment information regarding the Volstead Act and American Prohibition. To understand what it takes to pass such reform, as well as monitor and police the public, you need to understand how prohibition came about, was legalized, policed, and eventually repealed.  Learning from this historical legal reform will help you structure your proposal argument logically.
Below, you can find some information to understand the general guidelines of what began the time known as Prohibition.  While the Federal Government passed the law, it left enough flexibility for the individual States to decide how to enforce and restrict alcohol consumption in their own areas since who better would know the needs and beliefs of their local people.

See the attachment about the Volstead Act if you are considering legal reform in your proposal argument essay.
