Divided Government

|
  • Different parties represent different segments of the population β€” differences in region, population density, gender, race, occupation
  • Increases compromise on legislation, ensuring a variety of viewpoints are represented in final law.
  • Stops or at least modifies bad laws that would screw one segment of the population to appease another segment of population’s ideological beliefs.
  • Increases constitutional protections by allowing one party to raise constitutional questions related to their ideological beliefs.
  • Allows one party to investigate the other party, increasing honesty in government.

… it’s really not clear that it’s a bad thing.

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects people from random and arbitrary stops and searches. Although the federal government claims the power to conduct certain kinds of warrantless stops within 100 miles of the U.S. border, important Fourth Amendment protections still apply. This helps you understand your rights within the 100-mile border zone.​
