Proposition 209: How California’s Battle Over Affirmative Action Exposed Deep Flaws with Direct Democracy 209号法案：加州的平权行动之战暴露了直接民主制的深层缺陷 Claremont Journal of Law and Public Policy / March 23, 2018 By Wesley Whitaker (CMC ’18) 译者按：加州是否修改宪法取消209法案的争议越演越烈。本文作者可以看出是反对209的，因为文章有明显的倾向性。不过写的209法案从开始的一个想法到最后公投成功后面的历史背景和过程，对今天的现实也很有参考价值。强烈推荐关心按肤色搞特殊照顾政策的朋友读读。 90年代的209法案成败的核心基于一个深度的民意调查。发起者密切注意围绕平权行动的用词和公众观点的民意调查数据。他们的发现非常惊人：对平权行动计划的支持根据问题的措辞有大幅度的波动。一项民意调查发现：当在不使用配额系统的情况下询问是否会支持平权行动时，75%的调查对象表示支持，其中包括白人中的71%。然而当问到他们是否会支持比起同等资格的白人对少数族裔候选人给予基于种族的优待的系统时，72%的白人调查对象和42%的黑人调查对象给出了负面答案。 所以大概结论是：公投关键看双方用哪种措辞来赢得选民的选票。 Introduction 介绍 While discussions of affirmative action […]
