Find here below the instructions for this research assignment. Also, find attached the first assignment directly linked to this assignment which discusses the bill Im proposing in the Florida State Legislature
Your task for the first major assignment is to research and report on the fundamental characteristics of the state government and legislature you will be trying to impact with your lobbying issue. This assignment, unlike the next two, is research-heavy, so I am looking for a well-documented variety of sources with a bibliography.
The paper has three distinct components that I will be grading on:
A. Political Culture
Assess and report on the political culture of your state [Florida]. Analyze how political culture, history, demography and social forces have shaped how citizens view politics, what they expect from government, and especially how they have shaped governing institutions. “A” papers will describe how political culture and history have shaped and influenced how politics is practiced and how institutions such as the legislature and executive branch utilize power.
B. Key Relationship Analysis
Pick a key member from the Florida State committee that will be considering your bill. This should be someone you’ve identified as important to the prospects that you hope to influence, and should not be a dedicated supporter or committed opponent.
Analyze what makes them tick. What are the key internal and external relationships that influences their voting behavior? Please make certain that you comment on the variety of external relationshipsi.e. interest groups, family, colleagues, governor and so forth. Also, take a look at the member’s district and the type of relationship and memberships they have back home. Look at this committee member biography, quotes, and other key voters in the committee to see how you can leverage them on your side for the purposes of this bill proposal.
How can those relationships be leveraged for the purposes of your issue?
C. Institutional and Parliamentary Structure
Based on the lectures and readings about parliamentary procedure and the four “knows” of the legislature, demonstrate you know something about how the legislature is organized. In this section, provide me with a concise backgrounder on what I need to know of the rules and make-up of the Florida state legislature. Pay particular attention to relevant facts that impact your legislation. This should be an informative essay about the committee structure, partisan structure, leadership, and relevant rules that someone unfamiliar with your state would need to know if they start to lobby. Please do not simply cut and paste from the state legislatures website. Give me practical information.

Prompt : can you construct a narrative that might shift how we understand the issue, deliver services and experience outcomes? What new narrative can you construct that might change and improve outcomes in oneof the areas we have studied?

*Do not include a reference page. I will do that on my own. You will be writing based on the topic idea I have developed.

Topic Idea: Instead of focusing on the criminal behavior of women, a program in which women are treated through a trauma responsive lens. It is understood they endure the most sexual and physical trauma in society and as such the focus of jail time should shift to their rehabilitation. The whole idea is for society to stop punishing women who commit crime to a harsher extent because they go against societal expectations of a woman and instead understand the vulnerabilities of women as a result of our patriarchal society which lead them to commit crime in the first place. We accept that our environment shapes the actions of women and as such choose to re-shift focus on healing them from the trauma of it.
