Post Election Analysis

My partner is Josue Martinez

  1. Cite examples of "Supreme Law of the Land"
  2. Cite examples of "federal vs. state authority"
  3. What was the "compromise" that helped to pass the referendum in Washington? How do you think this compromise would affect demand for the product?
  4. Why was Oregon's referendum not passed?
  • an example of sumpreme law of the land is
 "Marijuana is still illegal in the eyes of the federal government, which overrules states' rights"
  • an example of federal vs state authority is when they say that in the state it is legal but in the eyes of the federal government it is still illegal
"The voters have spoken and we have to respect their will," said Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, in a statement. "This is a complicated process, but we intend to follow through. That said, federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug, so don't break out the Cheetos or goldfish too quickly."
  • the compromise made in washington was they would tax it by 25% three times ,when produced ,when it is processed and when it is sold to consumers.
  • oregons referendum didnt pass because it gave more power to the people growing it than to the overseers. 
1. What audience do you think social media was targeted to? Explain. (This is an opinion question. Same rules for citations apply here as well)
2. Which candidate was most effective using social media? Explain. (This is an opinion question. Same rules for citations apply here as well)
3. According to Jeffrey Hermes, taking a picture of your marked ballot can be used to pressure people standing in line to vote. Do you agree or disagree, and why?  (This is an opinion question. Same rules for citations apply here as well)
  •  I think they aimed the social media toward the younger people and those who were buisy and couldnt watch the debates. i think this because most people spend there time on social media so they will be informed on the things being done by both candidates.
  • I think Barack Obama was better, he came out on many things like reddit answering questions. also his writing was the most tweeted around the country so this sort of shows who was better.
  • I dont think this puts any type of pressure on anybody. they could still make their own choice and if they get influenced by a picture then they really were undecided  and unsure who to pick.
