The residual powers retained by each state to safeguard the health and welfare of its citizens is the concept to address in regard to the reference to police power.

Option a

<u> Explanation:</u>

The state's main purpose is to safeguard and protect its citizens from any harm that may  be coming in  their way. It is there for the welfare of its citizens and for their own good. The state protects its citizens from harms that can come in many ways.  It can also impose civil laws and public policies, or police support to cope up with  any difficulties.

In the given example, Mary Dogood imposes a ban on junk foods within 500 feet from the school, for a good cause that would save the children from indulging themselves in unhygienic and unhealthy foods, that may harm them and make them fall ill. The police power exercised its role to impose this law correctfully to protect the citizens.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Ozzy recently started working at a new company. He has been solicited several times to join the union of the company, but he would prefer not to. The union officials tell Ozzy that he won’t be allowed to keep working unless he joins the union. Which of the following is true?

-The union officials are pretending they have a closed shop and can't influence Ozzy's decision.  

-The union can't make Ozzy join the union, but it can require him to pay union dues.  

-Ozzy must now join the union because union shops are always legal.  

-Ozzy's requirement to join the union depends on his state of employment.

Answer:

-The union can't make Ozzy join the union, but it can require him to pay union dues.  

Explanation:

There is a law called the National Labor Relations Act that states that no employee should be required to be part of the union and that membership in the union should not be placed as a requirement for the occupation of a particular labor function. However, some states and some companies may adopt different approaches to their employees and the union.

 In some states in the country, although an employee is not required to become a member of a union, they allow an obligation for all employees to be required to pay at least part of the union's dues. In this case, we can say that in relation to the case shown in the question above, the union can't make Ozzy join the union, but it can require him to pay union dues.

Why is constitution fundamental law of the land
Firdavs [7]

Explanation:

The law is important for a society for it serves as a norm of conduct for citizens. It was also made to provide for proper guidelines and order upon the behaviour for all citizens and to sustain the equity on the three branches of the government. It keeps the society running. Without law there would be chaos and it would be survival of the fittest and everyman for himself. Not an ideal lifestyle for most part.

The law is important because it acts as a guideline as to what is accepted in society. Without it there would be conflicts between social groups and communities. It is pivotal that we follow them. The law allows for easy adoption to changes that occur in the society.
