Answer: The United States has 120.5 guns per 100 people, or about 393,347,000 guns, which is the highest total and per capita number in the world. 22% of Americans own one or more guns (35% of men and 12% of women). America’s pervasive gun culture stems in part from its colonial history, revolutionary roots, frontier expansion, and the Second Amendment, which states: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Proponents of more gun control laws state that the Second Amendment was intended for militias; that gun violence would be reduced; that gun restrictions have always existed; and that a majority of Americans, including gun owners, support new gun restrictions.

Answer:

It is an attempt to influence society to accept a dissenting point of view. Although it usually uses tactics of nonviolence, it is more than mere passive resistance since it often takes active forms such as illegal street demonstrations or peaceful occupations of premises. The classic treatise on this topic is Henry David Thoreau's "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience," which states that when a person's conscience and the laws clash, that person must follow his or her conscience. The stress on personal conscience and on the need to act now rather than to wait for legal change are recurring elements in civil disobedience movements. The U.S. Bill of Rights asserts that the authority of a government is derived from the consent of the governed, and whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it is the right and duty of the people to alter or abolish it.

The president, Congress members, lobbies, and even private citizens can propose legislations, but they do so
Zina [86]

Answer:

1.       As a Private Citizen

You, as a citizen of the state can propose bills for the country. But in order for this suggestion to be successfully noticed, you must first pass it to a representative of the Congress or one of their staff because only a member of Congress can propose a bill.

2.       As a ‘Lobbyist’

Not anyone can be a lobbyist, it is a term used for registered citizens that seek to change laws by petitions or requests.  They try to influence laws and legislations that they feel are wrong. Lobbyists let the Congress know about the people’s need and tell them how one bill can help or hurt the people they represent.

3.       As a member of Congress

Although only a member of Congress can propose a bill, it does not automatically pass. Before a bill becomes law, it will have to be voted by the House, approved by the Senate and finally by the President.

4.       As the President

The President can also propose or suggest bills but it must still be voted upon by the Senate and Congress and only then will it become a law. The President does not have the power to directly make new bills.
