How will Californian protect its citizens from the Federal Government when they vote to legalize?

In most countries and most states, laws are not put before the people like that. There are a few states in the US where laws can be placed on the ballot, but a law like this would be struck down by the courts even if it did manage to pass. The US Constitution does not allow any individual to be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process, and allowing people to deprive others of the right to life without a trial would be blatantly unconstitutional.

ADD: The legal system in the United States does not really concern itself with morality OR majority. It is based on the rule of law. That means that the law is to be followed as written regardless of the polls and regardless of some group's definition of morality.

The REPS are there to act using thier own best judgement. They are not there to simply do the bidding of the majority of their constituents. They don't hold referendums on every issue.

If the people they represent them aren't happy, they get voted out.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
