Introduction
Business law deals with all legal matters that govern individual and cooperate business groups. These laws start all the way from the government, states to local councils. States and local councils make laws that specifically govern the institutions in which they are.
In Tennessee, there is an overall assembly meant to make laws to govern the state institutions found there. In addition, the proceedings of Metro council were available. A comprehensive listening of the recorded Metro council meetings produced the finding discussed below (Metro council, 2010).
Examination
The council meeting started with confirmation of the attendance of the councilors. The council is a legislative branch of the government that rules through the senate and other official departments. These departments may be official government agencies. The agencies tackle matters such as printing and bookkeeping.
The judiciary together with the executive makes up the remaining parts of the ruling authority. The role of the executive is ensuring that laws made find application in area in focus. On the other hand, the judicial branch is entirely the court system with the Supreme Court being at the top of the ladder (TENNESSE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, 2002).
The attended session was Metro council. It helped in getting deductions for this report. While attending the Metro council it was definite that there is a stack difference between national, state, and local legislative processes. National and state legislative processes take place under laws provided by the institution question. However, for the local legislative process, there is delegation of powers from the state. The similarity is that all the three processes are limited only to their sphere of influence (NASHVILLE .gov, 2010).
The session majorly dwelled on proposed zone changes of title 4 map for the city to take care of newly demarcated industrial domain. The main objective was to support the economy and provide employment to residents. The key players who moved the motion were Maryanne Carson and the governors.
The council used ordinance type of legislation to go through the discussions. Amending the title 4 map was the purpose of proposed legislation. This was because the city had adopted the project in 2003 called north-west liberty plan to promote urban character.
After thorough council discussions, the legislation went through. This meant that the law created was to be in effect.
Analysis
The legislation had the strength of improving the economy of the city through right legislation. Weaknesses present could be a shallow view of the matters put on table without documentary evidence. The threats to the legislation could include angry reaction from the industries.
Major points of the legislation were the zoning of the map and designation of industrial areas and residential neighborhoods.
The zoning of the city had both strong points and drawbacks. The advantages would be; more support by amending title 4 maps because of the zoning of the city.
The possible drawbacks would be that the concentrations of industries would likely lead to bad effects such as industrial emissions and noise in the neighborhood. However, categorically considering both sides it would be right to say that there will be more organization and improvement of urban character and growth. The end effect to that is, the urban growth and economy would soar high.
Transformations
The possible positive changes will be to provide more forums for public suggestions. Another thing that would create a big boost would be to have more documentary evidences during sessions to improve on the quality of decision-making.
Conclusion
Legislative branch of the government is very effective since it deals directly with the people. By doing this, administration throughout the country becomes easier.
