5-2 ppt (andrew jackson)
Andrew Jackson had a difficult childhood becoming orphaned at a young age. He went on to have a military career eventually becoming a top commander in the US army. As the 7th US President, Jackson defeated John Quincy Adams in a divisive election. As president, Jackson replaced the previous system for selecting presidential candidates and faced the Nullification Crisis over states' rights but was able to convince South Carolina to back down over tariffs. He also oversaw the Indian Removal Act and removal of Native Americans from eastern states as well as dismantling the National Bank, which caused economic problems.
The right to trial by jury
This document discusses the importance of trial by jury in both the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. It provides a quote from Supreme Court Justice Byron White emphasizing that the right to a jury trial was established to protect against unfounded criminal charges and biased judges. The document then discusses jury selection (voir dire) and the role of lawyers in questioning potential jurors. It notes that in most U.S. jurisdictions, lawyers play a significant role in voir dire, but in some areas like federal courts, judges conduct most of the questioning with limited lawyer participation.
Race-Based Jury Nullification
The document discusses race-based jury nullification, where jurors vote to acquit a defendant based on their race rather than the facts of the case. Both arguments for and against race-based jury nullification are presented. Examples of cases where race-based nullification may have occurred include the 1931 Scottsboro trial and the 1992 Rodney King beating trial. While race-based nullification could allow guilty offenders to go free or innocent people to be convicted based on biases, others argue it provides flexibility for community standards and has occurred historically.
11&12.judicial branch
The Supreme Court ruled that African Americans, whether enslaved or free, could not claim citizenship and therefore had no standing to sue in federal court. The Court also ruled that Congress did not have the authority to prohibit slavery in federal territories, effectively nationalizing slavery. This landmark decision had wide-ranging legal and social consequences for decades.
Plessy v. ferguson
Plessy attempted to sit in an all-white railroad car in Louisiana in 1896 and was arrested for violating a state law requiring segregated railroad accommodations. At his trial, presided over by Justice John H. Ferguson, Plessy was found guilty on the grounds that the segregation law was a reasonable exercise of the state's police powers. Plessy appealed the ruling, arguing that the law violated the 13th and 14th Amendments, but the Supreme Court of Louisiana upheld the lower court's decision.
Jury Nullification
The document discusses the problem of mass incarceration in the United States, with the highest incarceration rate and total prison population in the world. It notes that over 7 million Americans were in the criminal justice system in 2008, with 1 in every 31 adults and 1 in 9 black men aged 20-34 incarcerated or on probation/parole. It then discusses an example of "Driving While Black" where a Canadian author was wrongly convicted for failure to comply with police orders, showing a lack of jury nullification. Finally, it promotes increasing awareness of jury nullification through organizations like Fully Informed Jury Association to give jurors more power to refuse unjust prosecutions.
Race and the 2016 Election
The document discusses racial disparities in the US criminal justice system, noting that Black Americans are more likely than white Americans to be searched, arrested, denied bail, offered unfavorable plea deals, excluded from juries, given longer sentences, and disenfranchised due to felony convictions, highlighting racial inequities.
Jury nullification cja 344
The document discusses jury nullification and whether ethnicity influences courtroom proceedings. It provides background on two issues regarding race and the criminal justice system: that minorities receive harsher sentences than whites, and dissatisfaction with public defender services and plea bargaining. The document also discusses a case where three teens were acquitted of serious charges in the beating death of a Mexican immigrant, which elicited cheers. Scholars are discussed who view ethnicity-based jury nullification as either a way to vote against injustice or as a danger to society.
14th amendment
The 14th Amendment has been interpreted to provide equal protection under the law to all people born in the United States. However, early decisions like Plessy v. Ferguson established the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing racial segregation. Later rulings such as Brown v. Board of Education overturned this doctrine, declaring separate facilities inherently unequal and requiring integration of public schools. Subsequent legislation and court decisions further expanded civil rights by prohibiting discrimination in public accommodations, voting, education, employment, and access for those with disabilities.

Brown Vs Board Of Education
This is a Powerpoint presentation that explains the history of segregation in the US. It is an important tool as it illustrates the background of racial tension that can exist today and open dialogue to create change and more progressive attitudes towards race. It helps promote diversity as the injustices of segregation call us all to look at our own biases. It also bolsters diversity, as Powerpoint accommodates many types of learners, both audio and visual. Powerpoint is an important technological tool to use in a class room, providing audio and visual help to students. This presentation illustrates my understanding of the program. I have uploaded this Powerpoint to a shared slide site, which further shows my comfort with the Internet in this age of technology.
The Judicial Branch
The document provides an overview of the US Judicial Branch and federal court system. It defines key terms, describes the jurisdiction and powers of federal courts, and explains the different levels and types of federal courts including District Courts, Courts of Appeals, and the Supreme Court. It also discusses important Supreme Court cases like Marbury v. Madison that established judicial review, Plessy v. Ferguson and its "separate but equal" doctrine, and Miranda v. Arizona and its ruling around rights during police interrogation.
Jury.Nullification.Essay2
The document discusses the concept of jury nullification, which occurs when jurors deliberately disregard the law or refuse to apply the law based on their own sense of justice. It provides examples of jury nullification throughout history, such as during prohibition and in cases of civil rights violations. Both opponents and proponents of jury nullification are discussed. Opponents argue it undermines the rule of law and impartiality of juries, while proponents believe it can prevent unjust laws from being enforced in particular cases. The document concludes by arguing jury nullification impinges on citizens' rights more than it serves a practical purpose.

The document summarizes the Powell v. Alabama Supreme Court case from 1932. [1] It provides background details on the defendants, who were 9 African American men accused of rape by two white girls on a train in Scottsboro, Alabama. [2] It notes that the men were not allowed to consult with their families or lawyers before trial. [3] The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that the men's 14th amendment rights to due process had been violated and that they each deserved separate, fair trials.
The usa politic
The USA is a federal republic made up of 50 states with federal power located in Washington D.C. across three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial.

The executive branch is headed by the President, who enforces laws and can veto bills, and assisted by the Vice President. The judicial branch includes federal district courts, appeals courts, and the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court Vacancy and its Implications
The document discusses the implications of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's death and the vacancy on the Court. It notes that historically the Senate has voted on nominees during an election year, though Mitch McConnell has said the Senate should not vote until after the 2016 election. Key cases facing the court now have an 8-member split. Potential nominees discussed include Sri Srinivasan, Loretta Lynch, Brian Sandoval, and others. Filling the vacancy has implications for control of the Senate in 2016 and the future direction of the Court.

Why most presentations suck
Overall findings and 5 simple and easy questions to make killer presentations in a snap. No charisma or design skills needed.
Sheltering Wings
Based on the document, Sheltering Wings Gifts offers a gift package for $199 that includes 1 month of shelter, food and care for an abused or neglected child. The gift package helps support the mission of Sheltering Wings, a nonprofit organization providing refuge for children escaping hard lives. Donating this package allows someone to give the gift of hope and safety to a child in need.
Simplicity
The document discusses the concept of simplicity. It states that simplicity is rare but not simple to achieve. It provides examples of simple, intuitive designs from Apple and Google Search. It then discusses how simplicity can be realized through thoughtful reduction of functionality without penalty. It also notes that organization can make complex systems appear simpler by sorting, labeling, integrating and prioritizing items. The document outlines five laws of simplicity according to author John Maeda: 1) thoughtful reduction, 2) organization, 3) time savings feel like simplicity, 4) knowledge makes things simpler, and 5) some things can never be simple. It concludes that simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful.
Feels Bad On The Back
1) The document discusses the importance of kidney health and taking care of one's kidneys.
2) It notes that kidneys are small organs that perform big roles like removing waste and controlling blood pressure.
3) The document warns that kidney disease can progress silently for years and that people with conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, family history of kidney disease, or who are older or smokers are at higher risk and should get their kidneys checked.

Eco-nomics, The hidden costs of consumption
Joe, an average consumer, spends $25,000 annually on goods and consumes $100,000 worth of natural resources, but he only pays the direct retail costs and is unaware of the various hidden environmental, health, and security costs associated with production and transportation. These hidden costs—which include pollution cleanup, resource depletion, subsidies, and climate change impacts—add up to over $1 trillion annually for U.S. consumers. The document urges people to reduce their consumption, support sustainable businesses, and make more informed choices to limit these hidden costs that will otherwise be passed on to future generations.

John G. Roberts
Here are a few key points regarding hate speech and hate groups:
- Hate speech that incites imminent violence is not protected by the First Amendment. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that hate groups themselves are protected under free speech.
- Some argue hate groups should not have free speech protections if their speech targets and threatens groups. However, the Court has found it difficult to clearly define hate speech without infringing on free expression.
- Throughout history, hate groups have emerged to target various groups, often through intimidation and violence. The oldest is the Ku Klux Klan formed after the Civil War to target blacks and their allies.
- Today, hundreds of hate groups remain active in the U.S.,

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
