Proposal Argument
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policed, and eventually repealed.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.
