The issue i will address in my writing/ presentation is:
What are the issues that inherently encourage inequality in our, The US,  political system? not only addressing what they are but looking into the origins and purpose along with giving a guide to potentially fix these issues in a few ways. Essentially, I am asking a few questions. who made the laws or enacted to principle? what are the laws, principles, and/or ideas? why were they made? when were they made(which helps answer why)? what can we do to change it? and each question is subject to its own offshoots and derivatives.
ill have to be concise because there are a lot of people so i will outline only a few of these problems but the idea is the same and i'll also give a few general ideas that pertain to all things. only a few problems is a good limiter to prevent myself from making a 50 pages assignment. Now, to rephrase he central question to meet requirements, What laws and acts have been enacted throughout U.S History that implied, or directly stated, their purpose was to discriminate and infringe on the rights of minorities and what can we do to invoke a change in policy on the modern laws? Time period - 1850 - Present day (since is extremely obvious how early laws removed the rights from minority groups.)
