An American Solution to an American Problem
Happy New Year, everyone! What will 2024 bring in regards to youth rights and drug and alcohol policy? 2023 was generally not great in that regard, especially in the Anglosphere overall, although New Zealand surprisingly seems to have wised up a bit in regards to tobacco policy. What do you think will happen in 2024, everyone?
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
--Tenth Amendment
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
--Fourteenth Amendment
"The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age."
--26th Amendment
And for those who still deny that liberty and equal protection includes the right to drink legally:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
--Ninth Amendment
(Emphasis added)
"Any people that would give up essential liberty for a little temporary safety, deserves neither and loses both."
