...as a clear manifestation of willingness to enter an agreement made by another person with full understanding that their assent to the bargain is an invitation and is concluded. As to whether there was an offer in this case, yes there is an offer. When the salesman offered the buyers time for a test drive and they finally chose and agreed to buy the blue car it was a clear offer. Acceptance. This basically means that the terms of the offer have been clearly understood and agreed to through consent and assent and at no time will the terms be changed. When the buyers agreed to the terms of sales and even agreed to pay a deposit, it clearly shows that they have accepted the seller’s offer. Legal purpose. It means that the reason for the contract must be legal. In this case, the sale and purchase of a car from a licensed dealer is legal and done under the regulations specified by law. Mutuality of obligation. This refers to the parties’ mutual understanding and also assents in expressing their agreement. They must both agree to the same sense, same thing ant also the same time. When the two buyers approached a dealer seeking to purchase a car, there was both an offer and acceptance. There was clear communication between the terms of the buyer and the seller and were both in mutual agreement. Consideration is basically the benefit to the person making a promise or the person to which the promise is intended for. In this case, both the buyers and the seller agreed to the terms and...

...Did Jim and Laura Buy a Car Week 6 Assignment 1 Matthew Ader Professor Lori Baggot LEG 100 Feb 14 2016 A contract is an agreement that creates an obligation that is enforceable by the law. The law has clear guidelines that before there exists a contract that will be binding, there has to be an offer, acceptance, mutual obligation and all parties should be of sound mind and by law be of legal age. A contract can either be written or spoken. Assuming that the buyers were at the required age went to the car dealership looking to purchase a new car. Stan the salesman made an offer to Jim and Laura and they both agreed to the terms. They asked that Stan the salesman hold the car for a day. He told them to put down $100 dollars to hold the car and that it would go to the final purchase of the car or that it would be refundable. Jim and Laura just wanted to hold the car so that it would still be there the next day. With mutual understanding Stan the salesman keeps the car and calls the next day to confirm when the purchase would be completed. I do believe that Jim and Laura did not enter into a legal contract that is binding. There are several factors that do not exist that would show a legally binding agreement. Like a contract that both parties would sign, agreeing to the purchase of the car. Having a contract in writing that both parties signed could show the sale of the car. Stan the salesman let Jim and Laura have a chance to test drive several cars that they were interested...

...Herb, George, Ed) [pic] (This photo taken in July of 2011. This is all that remains of the Schmidt Homeplace on Red School Road in West Alton, Missouri. Herb was 93 at the time this photo was taken.) I went to the Red School. I had to walk one mile to school. It was one big room and we had up to 35 kids with only one teacher. There were eight grades. Grades 1 thru 4 were taught every year, but grades 5, 6, 7, and 8 were taught every other year; like if 5th was taught this year then 6th would be taught the next year and the same with grades 7 and 8. The brighter kids helped the slower kids. Albert always needed help. I don’t think he graduated. I took an exam on Health and the teacher did not know how to record it because I got 100%. The year I graduated there were 4 kids who graduated from 8th grade. Because of my late birthday, I was almost 7 when I started school. Ruth Genesco was the teacher in the late years. We had one teacher that got scared when the river rose and she left and never returned. There was an old lady who boarded the teacher. Our last teacher was not boarded, she lived with her Mom and married a baseball player from the House of David. He would come and play pitch and...

...licensing and more gun safety. I believe in my constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and I don't feel that legislators should be allowed to take away that right. Gun control can be a good thing, but if it leads to gun prohibition I will fight it until the day I die. Our country was founded on the basis of guns. The wars were won with guns and the people were protected by guns. Guns were so important that they were placed in the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution: A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Amendment II From this amendment it is apparent that the founders of our country knew in 1791 that guns did and would continue to play a role in the lives of Americans. Things haven't really changed that much. Gun control was brought into play to protect citizens from criminals and lunatics who shouldn't have guns in the first place. But only 27 percent of the criminals who are in prison for crimes involving guns have...

Our strengths are our brand recognition and reputation for quality while our weaknesses are our high repair costs and vulnerability to currency fluctuation. Additionally, our opportunities are increased media attention on the 2012 Olympics and the BMW Championships golf tournament (both of which we sponsor) and our threats are the rising cost of fuel and the severe economic downturn. • We examined several trends affecting BMW and the car industry as a whole.

Honorable Style in Dishonorable Times: American Gangsters of the 1920s and 1930s Laura Beshears. The Journal of American Culture. Malden: Sep 2010. Vol. 33, Iss. 3; pg. 197, 10 pgs Abstract (Summary) Prohibition, which came into effect in July of 1920 with the passing of the Eighteenth Amendment, also illustrated the progressives' idealism, as many believed that the elimination of alcohol, because it allegedly created "poverty, marital distress, and negligence," would cleanse society (Mordden 141). [...] the birth of the radio and the movies as well as the development of flight induced excitement and fostered a vision of a society engaged in perpetual technological advancement (Mordden 47). [...] Horatio Alger, Jr. and his late nineteenth-century books- portraits of men who, born underprivileged, rose to wealth and success through hard work, honesty, self-confidence, commitment, and a bit of luck (Weiss 53-54) - characterized the progressive spirit, as it encouraged people to work hard for a better future and for the fulfillment of the American dream.
