About the Book

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, Free University of Berlin (John-F.-Kennedy-Institut für Nordamerikastudien), language: English, abstract: The objective of this work is to bring together findings from different research fields and organize them in a way that helps to detect the ambivalent legacy of Proposition 13 three decades after its ballot success.

I will do so by presenting my findings in three parts: The first part will focus on the initiative's 1978 ballot success and causes as well as its sponsors and opponents. I will show that the voters' motivation to overwhelmingly approve Proposition 13 was not a sign of sharply reversed attitudes toward government and public services, but was rather based on two essential aspects: voters requested an immediate, substantial, and permanent property tax relief and wanted to send a strong message to their inactive and unresponsive government through the power of the initiative process. The second part will analyze the proposition's (unanticipated) impacts on the state and local governments and California citizens - with regard to fiscal, socioeconomic, and political impacts. Among other aspects, I will explain why the hopes of the initiative's sponsors for shrinkage of big government were dashed while the alarming prophesies of Proposition 13's opponents were not fulfilled to their anticipated magnitude. With respect to the political impact of the initiat
