English Language Unity Act

Description

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The English
Language Unity Act was first introduced in 2005. It hoped to establish
English as the official language of the federal government of the United
States. If passed it would require that all official functions and
proceedings of federal and state government be conducted in English. It
would also require that applicants for naturalization be tested on their
ability to read and generally understand the English language. They
would be tested on the laws of the United States as well as other
important documents that relate to the law, including the Declaration of
Independence and Constitution. It would also require that all
naturalization ceremonies be conducted in English. If a person became
injured because of violations of this Act they would be able to file
suit in court. Before this act could be considered by the House of
Representatives it had to be approved by the House Judiciary, and
Education and the Workforce Committees.
