There were about 200 women that were in the building when a fire started. Many of them couldn't survive because of many defects in the building. One example is how the doorway was too small for people to get out, and the fire escape couldn't hold the weight of people. After this fire many laws and changes were made to public buildings, such as sprinkler systems, fire alarms, and multiple exits had to be added. .
The executive branch in the United States government is allowed to enforce laws that were presented to us by the legislatures through executive departments and agencies in both the state and national level. One principal of government is federalism. This system of government states that power is distributed between the national government and the state's government. This is done to ensure that the government does not receive all the power so that individual rights are protected. One example of federalism is freeways. The government sets down basic guidelines and supplies the states with funds, however, they are owned and operated by the states themselves. The executive branch of both the state and government can then enforce the laws for the safety of people on highways. The executive departments help to enforce and administrate federal laws also. They have many missions and responsibilities. For example, the department of health and human services is responsible for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services. They work to prevent disease outbreaks, assure food and drug safety, and conduct other health and social science research. Independent agencies also enforce laws. An example of an agency that enforces the laws is the Environmental Protection Agency. They are responsible for cleaning up the damage already done to polluters, and establishing measures that prevent the further dangerous impact against the natural environment in the future. .
The Judicial branch of the United States government can interpret laws and cases by changing a law or striking down the law, and declaring an act unconstitutional.
