The Maysville Road veto occurred on May 27, 1830, when President Andrew Jackson vetoed a bill which would allow the Federal government to purchase stock in the Maysville, Washington, Paris, and Lexington Turnpike Road Company, which had been organized to construct a road linking Lexington and the Ohio River, the entirety of which would be in the state of Kentucky. Its advocates regarded it as a part of the national Cumberland Road system. Congress passed a bill in 1830 providing federal funds to complete the project. Jackson vetoed the bill on the grounds that federal funding of intrastate projects of this nature was unconstitutional. He declared that such bills violated the principle that the government shouldn t be an economic affair. Jackson also pointed out that funding for these kinds of projects interfered with the paying off of the national debt. ref Glyndon G. Van Deusen, The Jacksonian Era 1828 1848 Harper & Brothers, 1959 p. 52 ref Background Proponents of internal improvements , such as the development of roads and bridges, argued that the federal government had an obligation to harmonize the nation s diverse, and often conflicting, sectional interests into an American System economic plan American System .

A proposed Royal veto of the appointment of bishops was a contentious topic in the politics of the United Kingdom , in the period 1808 to 1829. According to the proposal, any restoration of the full episcopal hierarchy of the Catholic Church , in Great Britain , should be subject to a veto of the The Crown Crown over the appointment of any bishop whose loyalty was suspect. The matter was eventually resolved by the passage of Catholic Emancipation without such a condition. Background Although the penal laws enacted against the Catholics of Ireland and of Britain were still on the statute book towards the close of the eighteenth century, they were less strictly administered than before. Several causes helped to bring this about. The Catholics formed the vast majority of the population of Ireland . Their sympathies were thought to be with the French whom Britain had at that time cause to fear. The authority of the bishops and the priests, the influence of both on the people, was great and the Government ... for a committee, proposed an effective veto for the king on the appointment of bishops.

An ordinary law is a normal law , generally distinguished from a constitutional law , organic law , or other similar law. Typically, ordinary laws are subordinate to constitutional and organic laws, and are more easily changed than constitutional or organic laws, though that should not be assumed to be the case in all jurisdictions. For example, the Constitutional Court of Spain has ruled that Spain s Organic Law Spain Organic Laws are not hierarchically superior to ordinary laws, but simply apply to different matters. ref Sentencia de 13 de febrero de 1981, Tribunal Constitucional de Espa a ref Ordinary laws often govern areas beyond the scope of constitutional or organic laws. Normally, in a democracy, an ordinary law must first obtain a majority simple majority of a congress , parliament , or other legislature, and then be signed into law by the representative of executive power . The process leading to a legislative vote may vary vastly from one jurisdiction to another the process may be initiated by either house of a bicameral legislature or from the sole house of a unicameral legislature from the head of government or head of state or by popular initiative . Different jurisdictions may allow ordinary laws to be proposed by one or all of these means, and may have restrictions on which body may take the initiative for certain types of laws for example, in some bicameral systems, tax related laws must begin in the lower chamber of the legislature . In some jurisdictions, the legislature has a means to override an executive veto by a supermajority , or the voting populace have the means to override a law by a referendum . Under federalism federal systems, ordinary laws may be created at the level of a sovereign state but also by its constituent components for example, by states of the United States or autonomous communities of Spain autonomous communities of Spain .
