Describe how the Constitution deals with social and political equality and how this has changed since the Constitution was ratified.
On Jun 03, 2024
The Constitution addresses social and political equality through various amendments and interpretations by the courts. The 14th Amendment, for example, guarantees equal protection under the law and has been used to challenge discriminatory laws and practices. The Constitution also outlines the structure of government and the rights and responsibilities of citizens, which are intended to promote political equality.
Since the Constitution was ratified, there have been significant changes in how social and political equality is addressed. For example, the 15th Amendment granted voting rights regardless of race, the 19th Amendment granted voting rights regardless of gender, and the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18. Additionally, landmark Supreme Court cases such as Brown v. Board of Education and Obergefell v. Hodges have expanded the scope of equality in areas such as education and marriage.
Overall, the Constitution has evolved to address social and political equality in a more inclusive and comprehensive manner, reflecting the changing values and demographics of American society. However, challenges to equality still exist, and ongoing efforts are needed to ensure that the principles of the Constitution are fully realized for all citizens.

What is the importance of discretion?
On May 11, 2024
Students' answers may vary.
Discretion is the latitude that administrators have in carrying out their agency's mission.Administrators are also politically influential because they exercise considerable discretion.Handed broad policy guidelines by elected officials, administrators give policy substance through numerous, concrete decisions.For example, Congress directs the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)to protect employees from cancer-causing chemicals in the workplace.It is up to OSHA to set allowable exposure levels for various carcinogens.In determining these levels, OSHA administrators make decisions about which companies and unions are likely to disagree; inevitably, the decisions will be political and not just technical.
