Background Research

In my research I have found that there are many opinions for English as the official language and against it. Some people for English as the official language are simply racist, believing that only English should be spoken, as it is superior. Other supports of it are rational, looking at it from a standpoint that it would make everything more efficient and easier if everyone spoke the same language. People against making English the official language believe that this kind of legislation would solve no problems and would contribute to nativism.

To further my research I need to find out exactly what would go into a bill to make English the official language, and what making English the official language really means. I also want to find out what creates a person's opinion on this topic.
