Board of Education on pp. 124-126 first. Answer question 1 under “Application and Analysis” from p. 139. Pg. 21-22 * 1. What gave the U.S. Supreme Court, a federal court, the right to review a Texas state law? This is because of the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution (Article VI): “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof. . . shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding * 2. Suppose that Johnson had burned a Texas state flag instead of the U.S. flag. a. Would the U.S. Supreme Court have jurisdiction to hear the case? b. If the Supreme Court did hear the case, do you think the decision would have been any different from this case? The Supreme Court could hear the case and the result would probably be the same because the real issue was the Right to Free Speech under the U.S. Constitution, not whether the criminal law was state or federal. Pg. 124-126 * 1. What is the doctrine of separate but equal? Separate but equal doctrine refers to a now-defunct principle that allowed African-Americans to be segregated if they were provided with equal opportunities and facilities in education, public...

...“American Violet” Critical Analysis Ashley ReBarker SOCI 3025 Dr. Sitawa Kimuna The “American Violet” sparks up a lot of issues that we see today in our society. These issues are very important as they deal with equality among our citizens but they may often be overlooked. The issue I am going to discuss in this critical analysis is Racial Prejudice in the Criminal Justice System. Racial prejudice happens every day and may never completely end, but one would think that it would not take place in a professional, uniform place such as the Criminal Justice System. After watching this movie, I have been taken back by the actions of the people in charge of this system. The 14th Amendment states that “ no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; no shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws” (U.S Constitution). The individuals in this film were not treated equally compared to the whites in this town and this was the result of racial prejudice. Dee, the main character of the movie, is a mom to four kids in a small town in Texas. The movie starts out with the SWAT team/policemen raiding the “projects” where Dee lives. At this time Dee is at work at a local café where they eventually find her at and arrest right on the spot. Not once do they tell her what she is being arrested...

...Constitutional Law questions: 1.In the Mount Soledad case discussed on page 105 of the text, why did the 9th circuit determine that the cross violated the establishment clause. (because it endorses christian religion, because it stands next to the veteran memorial and not all veterans were christian.) ((The circuit determined that the cross "physically dominated" the site where veterans of all religions were to be remembered; that the cross, with its dominating physical appearance, could possibly take away the due respect and attention for veterans of non-Christian religions.) 2.Page 110 of your text has a section on marriage equality and the Constitution. This section explains why marriage equality can become a business related issue. Explain why, using one of the examples in this article. ` (a business should acts neutral about this case. they should not side with either gay nor anti-gay marriage. it could lead to discrimination. they should threat their employee equally too whether they are gay or straight) ((Business organizations should retain a neutral standpoint on the issue of same-sex marriage. Taking sides on same-sex marriage issue can bring damage to business operations, as evident in the Barilla advertisement policy case. The pasta producer faced heavy criticism from the consumers for showing the organization's negative attitude toward same-sex relationships and marriages.))

...1: The concept of legal personality could be defined as a person with lawful characteristics and qualities of a natural person. Being a natural person was not always enough to be considered as a ‘legal person’. However, women and slaves had to deal with difficulties with the law considering societies back then had a different view of them being recognized by the law as having legal rights, protections, privileges, responsibilities and liabilities under the law. the term and common law idea of "legal person" is to be visible and have a legal standing which, in other means, to be able to attract legal rights and assume legal obligations. If, however, a person was not considered to be recognized by the law, the human being will then be considered as a species of property that can only be bought and sold,(Davies and Naffine at casebook, 26). In that period of time, the subjugated Africans that were brought to America or Europe did not reach a ‘legal status’, hence were not considered as legal persons. As a result of not being granted legal status, they were treated as property to be bought and sold; they did not have control or ‘protection’ of their own lives. This lack of legal status affected their lives over the years; they were “bought and sold, treated as an ordinary merchandise and traffic, whenever a profit could be made by it. This opinion was at that time fixed universal in the civilized portion of the white race.” (Brettle Dawson, 2101T S1_Introduction, Carleton University...

...Tatiana Magaña Professor Friedman Latin American Politics 7 December 2011 Women’s Struggles in a Socialist Venezuela Venezuela has overcome many obstacles, and triumphs as a country that always been full of oppression on the people. With years of oppression and marginalization, a new president in 1998 came into power, this President is Hugo Chavez. Hugo Chavez was able to win the presidency, perhaps because he has been viewed as a people’s man. Chavez has made it very clear that he is for socialism, and not for a neoliberal Venezuela, “Es el neoliberalismo el camino? Sí, el camino al Infierno. Ese es el camino al Infierno” - Hugo Chávez. Hugo Chavez has set out a plan for his socialist government, this plan has been designed to finally put an end to all the oppression the many lower class marginalized groups have faced over the decades. However, it is very evident that putting this plan into action has proved a lot more difficult than Chavez and his administration thought it would. For this reason, it is clear that for social justice, and the democratization of this country have been widely affected, and not for the good. As Chavez has changed the agenda, but in the view from social justice and democracy, he has lacked to really implement change for the better, and this is why we still see a high number of marginalized groups that are fighting constantly for more rights. Women have continued to fight in the name of social justice and democracy to pave a way for all the women...

...The Death Penalty and its Ethical Permissibility Palestine Fox Kaplan University Abstract The death penalty has been used for centuries to punish criminals for heinous crimes, in spite of the fact that arguments concerning the death penalty, its concepts of retribution, deterrence and just punishments have been disagreed upon. The question at hand is whether or not the death penalty is permissible and if so under what circumstances, which has long been a heated debate for centuries. The ethical issues surrounding the death penalty include the morality of this form of punishment and whether or not it is morally right to deprive a human being of life. This paper will discuss the background of the death penalty, its permissibility under the law and how the death penalty would be viewed by the ethical philosophies and various religions. The Death Penalty and its Permissibility Introduction of the Death Penalty The death penalty or capital punishment is the practice of executing someone as a form of punishment for a heinous or specific crime following a proper legal trial. The death penalty is usually a punishment sentenced for serious types of murders, in some countries treason, types of fraud, adultery and rape, which are capital crimes (Capital Punishment, 2013). The death penalty was introduced as early as the Eighteenth Century B.C. in the Code of King Hammaurabi of Babylon, who codified the death penalty for 25 different crimes. In the Seventh Century B.C.

...Introduction The word “hang-out” can either be a verb or a noun. If it is taken as a verb it means the act to spend one’s time idly or in loitering around (Merriam Webster’s Intermediate Dictionary). If it is taken as a noun, it means the PLACE where a group of people stays without doing anything in particular. However, the researcher will be focusing more on the second definition but still consider the first definition, mainly because we have a wide range of places to choose from ; like places inside the University Campus, a friend’s house, a shopping mall or any other place that a certain group of individuals choose. As everyone is inadvertently exposed to strenuous and demanding work either in school/workplace, all of us needs that refreshing and much needed stop to break the monotony of working for/ studying for a long stretch of hours. This is where “hang-outs” come in, when there is a need for relaxing or unwinding at the end of a stressful day/week; inevitably the necessity for a place to relax also arises. Of course as a person either engaged in these activities (studying or working), stress and pressure are usually associated with your workplace or classroom. Therefore anyone can encounter difficulties relaxing in certain place a person associates with stress and pressure. In short the researcher is implying the importance of a hang-out, being in a hang-out does not necessarily mean you have to be in a very far place from your school/workplace but rather, just a...
