WHEREAS, during their week-long session these young women will learn many of the details of the process whereby a bill becomes a law, and debate and discuss many issues both timely and of great importance to the State of Delaware; and
WHEREAS, throughout the week the Girls State delegates will be deeply involved in a study of such subjects as conduct of elections, the operation for the legislative caucus and committee systems, majority and minority positions, and many other aspects of the political process, all of which will give them valuable knowledge of the manner in which the American system of representative democracy operates; and
