Specific, ex: Legalization Process in Illinois , where are we in the process. Specific dates, legislation going into effect, what does the law say. 3.. Arguments to examine, ex: Arguments of both sides of the debate – Is legalization good for the economy and the people v. drug issues being exacerbated …should we legalize conservatively or liberally? 4.. Critical, (this can be a question) – What should the process look like to best help the people of Illinois? This will be your own opinion based on facts!!! Each number must be answered and handed into by email by Monday. Websites: .edu,.org, government sites, nolo, news sources (NYTimes, CNN)
