Question

Answer both questions 1 and 2 below in this same discussion.

Research the Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015 and the Main Street Fairness Act (see links below) and discuss:

1. Why do you think the Microbead Act became a law so quickly (especially in our legislative system) while the Main Street Fairness Act has yet to be passed?

2. If you were a Senator, which law(s) would you have voted for/against? Explain your reasoning.

3.Do you think the Main Street Fairness Act will ever become law? Explain your position.

You’ve just graduated from college and have been offered your first “real” job at StuffMart! The HR department asks you to come in 1 week before your start date to fill out paperwork, authorize a background check, etc. You arrive to find a stack of papers and forms and start completing them when you come across a form entitled “Social Media Policies."

Much to your surprise, the form contains blanks for you to fill in your login ID and passwords for all social media sites that you use (like Twitter and Facebook). Under these lines, the form explains that as an employee of StuffMart, you authorize the company to monitor your social media, authorize the company to have access to your login/passwords, and expressly agree that you will not post any negative or derogatory statements about StuffMart or its employees on any social media site.

Discuss what legal issues are presented here and whether you do or don't have a constitutional basis to refuse to comply with StuffMart’s Social Media Policies. The post should be a minimum 2 paragraphs and incorporate 2 different terms/phrases from this week's constitutional reading (in all CAPS).

PLEASE DON'T USE SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED......PLEASE BE ORIGINAL

Explanation / Answer

1. Why do you think the Microbeads Act became a law so quickly (especially in our legislative system) while the Main Street Fairness Act has yet to be passed?

The microbeads act became a law so quickly because it prohibits the use of plastics which has been an agenda for the government long back so the government was very active in promoting the law and making it successful. The law prohibits the use of microbeads plastics in personal care products and as it was promoted by the government actively and effectively, the users got to know about the issue and received positive response which made the law possible.

The Main Street Fairness Act is yet to become a law because there is a bit of state and local intervention which has made the federal agencies confused regarding the law because business organization are liable to the state and federal government both which has actually raised confusion. The local and state government are to be benefitted by tax revenue but there is no mention about the federal government in this context hence the law is yet to be finalized.

2. If you were a Senator, which law(s) would you have voted for/against? Explain your reasoning.

I would have voted for both the laws because I feel that the microbeads act will restrict water pollution which will benefit the environment and also the users and the Main Street Fairness Act will protect local and small business from unfair competition and let them survive in the industry which is a good sign for the users.
