of them it is proposed to add alternative, less severe... penalties, for example, in the house of representatives they will review liability for drug-related crimes. the lower limit of punishment for distribution as part of an organized group will be reduced to 8 years. the upper limit will remain the same - 20 years. this is also due to the fact that students who unknowingly perform tasks are often drawn into drug trafficking curators and do not realize the gravity of the crime. it is planned to introduce a relaxation of liability for minors who have committed a less serious crime for the first time. brest border guards seized a drone, last night on the belarusian-polish border two belarusians were detained who were going to launch a homemade. aircraft. a parachute, ropes and four were also seized from the border violators.

the house of representatives. the house of representatives has been funded that since the 1920s. he population has grown enormously the last century, increasing the size of the house of representatives would make it more democratic. the fewer people someone represents, more that they feel that they're being heard. it would also help solve the problems in the electoral college because remember, the number of in a state is the sum of its representatives plus senators. so if we gave california more represented, given its population, but didn't do that for we'd help solve that problem. this can be done by congress by statute doesn't take a constitutional amendment doesn't take a new constitution. number in the house of representatives is not a magical number. i don't know what's the ideal and we can argue over it. that will over find an ideal number. but we could significantly increase the house and decrease some of the problems that i've described. we are at end of our time, unfortunately our great thanks to dean chemerinsky, author of no democracy forever how the constitution threat
