McCulloch v. Maryland.

Posted on

Much of the basis of the bank regulatory system in the United States, including its federal-state dual commercial banking system, stems from constitutional arguments laid out by Chief Justice Marshall in McCulloch v. Maryland. The principles of the system have existed throughout most of the U.S.’s history, elements of which even survive all of the regulatory changes of the last few years.

  1. Please explain and detail the main points of Chief Justice Marshall’s two-pronged approach to his opinion in McCulloch.

  2. Upon whom did Chief Justice Marshall base much of his argument, and what were the circumstances under which that individual had set forth his opinions on the matter?

Interest Groups in Texas Assignment – Minimum Wage

Posted on

The United States has a minimum wage law prohibiting any employer from paying less than $7.25 per hour. Many states – and even some individual cities – have set local minimum wages higher than the federal level. Texas has declined, keeping our state’s minimum wage the same as in federal law.

This year, State Representative Ron Reynolds (D-Houston) filed H.B. 60 to raise the Texas minimum wage to $15 per hour.

The Center for Public Policy Priorities, a left-leaning advocacy organization, supports raising the Texas minimum wage above the federal level. They argue that low-skill workers’ pay has not risen at the same rate as their cost of living – particularly for housing.

The Texas Restaurant Association represents restaurants – large and small – throughout Texas. They have argued that raising minimum wages above the equilibrium level for unskilled workers means that many of the most vulnerable workers will lose their jobs as companies find ways make do with fewer of them. Self-service checkout lines in grocery stores are an example of what happens when wages rise above the natural level set by the market.

For your assignment, write our usual 2 – 5 page essay with three specific sections.

1. If you were representing the Center for Public Policy Priorities at a lobbyist, what would you do to help pass Rep. Reynold’s bill?

2. If you were representing the Texas Restaurant Association as a lobbyist, what would you do to change or defeat the bill?

3. If you were a state legislator, how would you deal with these competing interests? What information would you want, and how would you view the issue?
