The Rights Of The United States V. Miller
As an American, we know, and are immune to this country starting to build on technology. Where every call or click online can be traced back, stored,
searched and put together to reveal a portrait of private life. However, current law gives little privacy protection to information about these activities,
overstepping the First and Fourth Amendment safeguards that are guaranteed to individual freedoms. There are two cases to be discussed, Smith v.
Maryland and United States v. Miller, two of the most important Fourth Amendment decisions of the 20th century. "In these two cases, the Court held
that people are not entitled to an expectation of privacy in information they voluntarily provide to third parties" (Thompson, para. 1). This proposition,
know as the third–party doctrine, permits the government access to a vast amount of information about individuals, such as the websites they visit,
who they have emailed, the phone numbers they call, and their utility, banking, and education records. The first case I want to discuss is Smith v.
Maryland–Subpoena for Telephone Call Records. In Smith, the police were investigating the robbery of a young woman, who gave the police a
description of her assailant and the vehicle seen near the scene of the crime. The police later spotted a man matching the victim's description driving an
identical vehicle in her neighborhood. They got the tag number and traced the vehicle back to a man named Michael Smith. Upon police request, the

The United States And Japan
There had been a growing outcry from the public and leaders for something to be done to reduce the increasingly growing number of Japanese
immigrants in the West Coast. Subsequent regulations placed on the Japanese in the United States made them aggravated. There was serious trouble
brewing between the United States and Japan until the Japanese carried out attacks on Pearl Harbour in December 1941. After the attack on Pearl
Harbor there was increased spread of propaganda from the press and local leaders against the people with Japanese roots. There were numerous calls
to the Congress and President Roosevelt for removal of the Japanese from the Pacific Coast. On the 19th day of February 1942, President Roosevelt
issued the Executive Order Number 9066 (Wheeler, Becker and Glover 244). The Executive Order authorized the evacuation of the Issei and Missei.
About 120000 individuals of Japanese ancestry, both citizens and non–citizens were evacuated from the West Coast in what Lt. General John DeWitt
said was compelled by "military necessity" (Wheeler, Becker and Glover 244). The most convincing and reliable evidence reveals that the removal
and incarceration of Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor did not meet the "clear and present danger" test. I do not agree with the Supreme Court's
decision. During the evacuation process, Fred Korematu, a Japanese American, sought to evade the ordeal by concealing his identity by using a plastic

Abrams And Sedition Act Case
During times of political unrest and hysteria, the Court seems to allow for more limits on speech if simply because the times host more potential for
danger. Take the following example as parallel to Schenck, Abrams, and the circumstances surrounding both. In the 1969 case Brandenburg v. Ohio,
the Court abandoned the clear and present danger test, stating that only speech that produces or is likely to produce violent actions or illegal behavior
can be banned (Cohen 32). The Court argued a difference between advocacy of ideas and incitement of unlawful conduct exists – though the Court did
not define it. During this time, the United States was not concerned with being overthrown by insurgents or overcome with hysteria like earlier in the
century. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The Court, in affirming the judgment of lower courts, deferred to Congress but also redefined the standard to protect future free speech since the
times implied more stringent restrictions on speech could follow. Had the Court struck down the ruling, Congress would not have the necessary power
to limit speech, and future dangerous speech would go unabated since doing so would create the rule that Congress cannot limit free speech. Rather
than create this rule, the Court created a new standard by which to measure the ability of Congress to curb free speech on a case–by–case basis. This
new standard, which more broadly protects free speech, has evolved over time, as evident in Abrams, Brandenburg, and Holder. The ability to evolve
over time and to apply to different cases in lower courts highlights Holmes' idea that rights were established by society and balanced by the needs of
the society, according to blah blah, and thus reflects an inherent legitimacy. Again, having this standard and the ability to choose to use it or not allows
the Court to reflect the necessities of society, thereby aligning more closely to

Overcoming Adversity In The United States
There are many ways to fight adversity. Even though Fighting using force is another way to solve the problem, the best way to overcome

The Pros And Cons Of The Bill Of Rights
Since the creation of the constitution in 1789, people have found ways to disobey the laws written by our founding fathers. Most crimes have
punishments that give fair consequences to the misconduct of the person, but some cases prove otherwise. The Bill of Rights were created to
override all other law and provide a basis for moral wrongs and rights. Each amendment was written with a purpose to shape our country and give
individual citizens the rights they believed were naturally theirs. One case, taken into the hands of the Supreme Court during World War I, caused an
uproar of disagreement, to whether the case was decided unfairly. To this day, the case still remains arguable to whether this individual deserved the
punishment that was given. In the year of 1919, a man by the name of Charles T. Schenck was tried in court for mailing circulars to draftees. He had
very different views against the drafting of military for war, and was punished for his non–violent actions towards it. Around 1914, war broke out in
Europe between nations all over the globe. This war was sudden and caused chaos throughout nations because of the excessive damage and need
for soldiers. This war became known as World War I, and changed the way in which our nation is shaped today. Soon after the outbreak of war, the
Espionage Act of 1917 was put into law. This was a federal law with intentions to restrain interference with any military operations or involuntary
enlistment into the military. After this, the Federal Government held a draft for World War I. All male citizens within a specific age range were
selected randomly to serve in the military during this war, and it was not optional, but forced. Charles Schenck was an associate of the Socialist party
of America in Philadelphia, therefore he had disagreements with the Capitalist government. He was the general of this party, and believed that the war
was caused by the rich only to benefit themselves, while poor lower class men were doing all of the suffering and hard work. When Schenck became
aware of the government's intentions for recruiting military, he was furious. The government had seemed to have taken the natural born rights of man
for themselves to use as they pleased.

From 20,000 feet, ARGUS can magnify something as tiny as six inches on the ground. It has the potential to recognize faces and record license
plates. Memory space is no issue, as ARGUS has the ability to record up to 5,000 hours of footage (Koerner 2015). This type of drone surveillance
would capture a drug dealer making a sale to some tailgaters, locate the parking stall where a man needs medical attention after indulging in too
many jalapeno poppers or track a pickpocket through a crowd. As far as crowd surveillance goes, the use of drones appears to be a no–brainer. But this
type of surveillance can also be a gateway into privacy–concerns.
According to Black (2013), today's rapidly changing drone technology carries the potential to violate the privacy rights of an individual. Numerous
drones also carry the potential to "threaten privacy in society as a whole." (Black 2013).
Moving beyond crowd surveillance, drones are raising a lot of questions in reference to the Fourth Amendment that protects citizens and their houses,
papers and effects from unreasonable searches and seizures (U.S. Const. amend IV). As drones have the potential to become important tools in police

Therefore, the U.S. court system implemented this rule but if one party suspects that the copy or copies have been altered or it's a fraud than this

The rationale behind its application was to find the best evidence within a case but due to fraud and the mishandling of evidence this rule was
created. It helps to prevent anyone from trying to mislead or even lie about a certain piece of evidence. Furthermore, it eliminates anyone from
having to guess if in fact that the evidence is from the actual original copy of if some part of the evidence had been changed at some point in order to

The Opinion Of Justice Binderoff
The opinion of Justice BINDEROFF: According to Article I, Section 8(3) of the United States Constitution, Congress is granted the power "to
regulate commerce with foreign countries, as well as among the several states...;" this enumerated power is what the Commerce Clause describes.
This Article has been used to justify many instances in which Congress has exercised its power to regulate commerce, especially among states. In
this regard, there has been a myriad of instances in which such exercise of this congressional power has been challenged. The first instance, was in
the case of Gibbons v Ogden (1984), where two men who had been given exclusive licenses by the state of New York to carry passengers to
Elizabeth Town from New York, filed a suit in court to block another steamship operator, Gibbons, who had been newly granted a license to carry
passengers on that very route, from competing with them. In this case, the Chief Justice found out that Congress was right within its powers – granted
by the Commerce Clause – to grant the ferrying license to Mr. Gibbons. The Chief Justice, Marshal, argued that commerce was more than just the
selling and purchase of goods, but included other parts of the commercial intercourse between states, such as transport. The argument by the Chief
Justice in this context is important in understanding the extent of commerce that falls under the Commerce Clause as intended by the framers. In order

woman's strong arm and caption to exemplify the strength of a female and how underestimated they are in the real world. The poster has very
glaring colors and the bandana on the woman's head makes her seem somewhat rebellious and a powerful leader. Her pulled up sleeves
demonstrates her independence as a woman and how she can do more than what people expect of her. This image portrays patriotic womanhood to
give women more of a voice during the war rather than them being limited to only working inside their homes. In the photo, "longing won't bring

deliberately slowed DR–DOS's sales by announcing a better version of MS–DOS was on its way (Newman).
Windows, a program that was created in 1983, but did not change the market significantly until 1990, has grown to control 94.1% of the operating
system market (Newman). This has required other companies in the software industry to make all of their applications Windows compatible. Critics

part of the software industry. According to sales from April 2002, Microsoft sold 89% of office software to consumers (Washington Post). Microsoft
bundles these applications with the Windows operating system, which is, according to them, an effective technique. Critics assert that this forces other

Can A Patient Be Forced to Take Medication If There Is No Medical Emergency? In this case, the patient John Rennie, a former pilot, had been in and
out of mental health facilities in the state of New Jersey since his twin brother died in 1973 in an airplane accident. Between 1973 and 1977 he had
been treated both inpatient and outpatient, numerous times, per the court record, at least 11 times. He had been diagnosed with various mental health
issues which included paranoia, schizophrenia, and manic depression. He had even suffered from delusions and had made threats to kill the President.
During the series of treatments, Rennie would occasionally refuse to take the prescribed medication given to him by the treatment staff. The record
also indicated that during his treatment Rennie had been in frequent fights with other patients as well as the staff, and had gone through suicidal and
delusional stages. In 1977, Rennie filed a suit in the New Jersey Circuit Court, against the Ancora Psychiatric Hospital, arguing that the treatment being
forced upon him violated his right to privacy. The ruling, in that case, was that although a patient had the right to refuse treatment, certain

Gonzales v. Raich was a landmark case which determined the extent that Congress could regulate marijuana usage in California. More precisely, the
case involves deliberation between the constitutionality of the Compassionate Use Act, voted on by the state of California in 1996, and the Controlled
Substances Act (CSA), passed by Congress in 1970. Does the CSA, a policy which permits the regulation of certain drugs and chemicals by the Drug
Enforcement Agency (DEA), exceed the regulations set under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution? Does the Compassionate Use Act, which
allows for the use of medical marijuana in California, protect citizen's rights to use and distribute marijuana for medicinal purposes? The decision

Korematsu was not excluded from the Military Area because of hostility to him or his race. He was excluded because we are at war with the Japanese
Empire . . . The military urgency of the situation required that all citizens of Japanese ancestry be segregated from the West Coast temporarily.
Congress put their confidence in our military leaders and decided that they should have the power to carry out the necessary measures. There was
evidence of disloyalty on the part of some so the military authorities felt that the need for action was great. The fact that we can look back and see

Korematsu Versus the United States
In the landmark case of Korematsu v. United States the Supreme Court was correct in the ruling because the executive order that was issued became a
law to protect the country from persons that had close ethnic ties to the enemy and made all people that the government deemed a threat to national
security into prisoners. Although this was against moral standards, it was a necessity at the time to protect the country. While it may seem that it was
just the Japanese that were prosecuted, it was also Americans of German and Italian heritage that were also persecuted. This executive order infringed
on the rights of American citizens based on their ethnic background. This isn't right because as said in the constitution everyone has the right to life,

The World War I And The Red Scare
In the early 20th Century, the United States endured a time of political unrest. During World War I, fears of socialism and communism entered the
psyche of the United States and culminated in the Red Scare. Hundreds of American citizens – particularly immigrants – suffered unprecedented arrests
and deportations (Fariello 4). During this time, Charles Schenck, secretary of the Socialist Party of America, actively opposed the war. Due to
Schenck's efforts, the organization distributed thousands of leaflets criticizing conscription and encouraging readers to assert rights against the draft
and intimidation (Schenck v. United States 1). In the 1919 case Schenck v. United States, the defendants were charged with violating the Espionage Act
of 1917 by causing and attempting to cause insubordination in U.S. military forces by distributing a document denouncing the draft in name of the 13th
amendment (Schenck 1). When insurgency and fear continued, Congress amended the Espionage Act with the Sedition Act, which limited many more
forms of speech (Fariello 14).
At this point, society had to decide whether these limits on speech aligned with its interests. Holmes similarly had to consider whether to forfeit his
belief that ideals in the Constitution and its Amendments exist absolutely (Cohen 27). In the end, he decided that a balance between absolute ideals
and the responsibilities of Congress must prevail as the most fair compromise – or standard. In this fairness, the Court affords

Questions On Gross Receipts Tax
b.New Mexico
i.Gross Receipts Tax– Generally
The state gross receipts tax is a tax on the privilege of engaging in business in New Mexico. "Engaging in business" means carrying on or causing to
be carried on any activity with the purpose of direct or indirect benefit," with certain exceptions inapplicable to the Company's facts. The tax is assessed
against the gross proceeds of a business.
For purposes of the GRT, a presumption exists that all receipts of a person engaging in business are subject to the GRT, unless the taxpayer can make
an affirmative showing that the receipts are not taxable. The taxpayer bears the burden of proving any exemption or deduction.
Gross receipts which are deductible are to be contrasted with gross ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The court stated that the "[a]doption of the destination principle does not require us to construe the gross receipts tax to include principles of transfer
of title, transfer of possession, or risk of loss, which are concepts that were not included in the language employed by our legislature. Therefore, we
hold that the destination principle applies to determine whether an interstate transaction is a taxable sale under our gross receipts tax laws." While the
court does not hold the principles of transfer of title, transfer of possession, or risk of loss as dispositive, they are certainly important in analyzing the
situs of the sale. iii. Transactions in the Stream of Interstate Commerce
A deduction is allowed from the gross receipts tax for receipts from transactions in interstate commerce if the imposition of the tax would be unlawful
under the Constitution. Presumably, to the extent that taxation of receipts derived from transactions in foreign commerce would violate the
Constitution, one may conclude that New Mexico could not impose its gross receipts tax.
The deduction for receipts derived from transactions in interstate commerce has been a part of the gross receipts tax for many years. Contemporary
commerce clause doctrine has held that there is no bar to the imposition of a state 's tax on income or receipts from a transaction merely because a
transaction is in interstate commerce, as long as certain requirements are met.

The Importance Of Freedom Of Speech
hoose to, this does not, however, mean freedom from consequences. One is still allowed backlash for publishing or saying dangerous, reckless, and or
deceitful things.
The role the government has taken on freedom of speech is one of basing your right to free speech based on the effects of what you have said, in
accordance with time manner and place, which is shown by the case Brandenburg v Ohio. In Brandenburg v Ohio, Brandenburg is a leader of the Ku
Klux Klan who made a speech which was deemed harmful by The Ohio Criminal Syndicalism Act, which stated speeches that contained "crime,
sabotage, violence, or unlawful methods of terrorism as a means of accomplishing industrial or political reform," to be unlawful, and was swiftly
convicted under this act. Brandenburg appealed under the idea that the Statute prohibited public speech that advocated certain violent activities, and
thus violates Brandenburg's right to free speech under the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court
decided that the state had indeed violated free speech by being overly broad and infringing on the constitution due to its two broad questions. These
two questions are as follows. Firstly, speech can be prohibited if it is "directed at inciting or producing imminent lawless action". Secondly, if it is
"likely to incite or produce such action.". Since the court ruled that The Ohio Criminal Syndicalism Act overstepped its boundaries it was overturned.

Schenck V. United States Court Case Analysis
Twenty Thousand Flyers In this essay, I will analyze John Mill's argument on freedom of speech in relation to Schenck v. United States court case.
During the early 20th century, the U.S. government decided to join World War I. Hence, they held a draft, by choosing random male citizens who were
in between the age of eighteen to forty–five to fight for the country. At this time, Charles T. Schenck was the general secretary of the U.S. socialist
party in Philadelphia in the early 20th century. He was against the U.S. entry into World War I and its implementation of a military draft. Thus, he
distributed over twenty thousand flyers to U.S. citizens in objection against the draft process. Therefore, the government arrested him for violating the

government declared war against Germany. President Woodrow Wilson wanted to stop the disloyalty of the immigrants, German natives, and people
who opposed the government. Therefore, after a couple of months, the congress passed the Espionage Act. This act forced the people to support the
government. After this act was ratified, speaking against the U.S. government during WWI became illegal. The U.S. government declared the
Espionage Act to increase people's nationalism and to make them fully committed to the war. This act affected everyone living in the U.S. More than
two thousand people were arrested while the Espionage Act was in effect. Although, most young men wanted to take a part in the war, others were
living in fear. They were afraid to talk against the government and the war in public. This act associated a sense of a dictatorship with the government.
The people of the U.S. were disunited to the point that some accused their neighbors of being unpatriotic just because of their ethnicity. Based on this,

After a process of individual analysis of the selected studies, the articles were grouped together according to recurrent themes that emerged from the
findings. In this literature review, three major themes were identified which include; window displays, music and shop crowding.

Window displays
In relation to window display, three studies reported that there is a positive relationship between consumers buying behavior and window display
(Ali & Hasnu 2013, Karbasivar & Yarahmadi 2011 and Tendai & Crispen 2009). According to Ali & Hasnu (2013, p.7) consumers' buying decision is
influenced by the physical attractiveness of store displays. Consumers develop their first impressions by the store displays which emotionally attract
them to the product and buy that product (Ali & Hasnu 2013, p.7). Similarly, Tendai & Crispen (2009, p. 107) reported that attractive window displays
increases sales as consumers purchase unplanned products. Moreover, the finding of Karbasivar & Yarahmadi (2011) study indicated that window
display has strong effect on encouraging consumers to buying more and enjoying their shopping time. In order to trigger shopping among consumers,
store managers must ensure attractive store displays (Ali & Hasnu 2013, p. 7).

his land with signs that said, "POSTED Private Property. Hunting, Fishing, Trapping or Trespassing for Any Purpose Is Strictly Forbidden. Violators
Will Be Prosecuted," and recorded that fact with the town clerk. Acting on an informant 's tip that marijuana was growing on defendant 's land, a
sheriff and another law enforcement officer went onto the land, without a warrant, in September of 1986. They first drove up defendant 's driveway
where they noticed the "no trespassing" signs, as well as one that states "Road Ends – Private Drive Ahead." Next, the officers parked at a neighbor 's
house, crossed a fence, and walked along an old logging road toward defendant 's house. They observed one or two old "no trespassing" signs as they

The Importance Of Cyberbullying In Schools
"In 1919, in the wake of World War I, Charles Schenck was arrested on the charge of violating the Espionage Act of 1917 by encouraging eligible

to him by the First Amendment had been violated. In a unanimous vote, the court ruled that in times of “clear and present danger” the

business practices. Named after Senator John Sherman of Ohio, he had this law to pass the senate with a unanimous vote of 51–1 and the House with a

of trade or commerce among the several states or with foreign nations". Those that did not abide by this law resulted in a $5,000 fine and a year in
prison. "The Sherman Act was designed to reestablish competition but was loosely worded and unsuccessful to define terms as "trust," "combination,"
"conspiracy," and "monopoly" (www.ourdocuments.gov, 2013)". Because of this "loosely worded" act, the Supreme Court prevented the federal

any such injury the owner had displayed in a prominent place on his or her premises a sign easily readable including the words 'Bad Dog.'" It is essential
that the "Bad Dog" sign or equivalent wording must be easily readable as well as posted in a prominent place. Carroll v. Moxley, 241 So. 2d 681 (Fla.
1970). The sign must be easily readable meaning that the sign is legible and capable of being read, not necessarily that the injured party must have
been able to actually read and understand it. Registe v. Porter, 557 So. 2d 214 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990).
In order to be relieved of liability, an owner must have a prominently placed "Bad Dog" sign that is easily readable. In Carroll, the court held that the
purpose of having a prominently placed sign that is easily readable is to give actual notice of the risk of a bite to the victim. Carroll, 241 So. 2d at 682.

The Rights Of The United States V. Miller

  • 1. The Rights Of The United States V. Miller As an American, we know, and are immune to this country starting to build on technology. Where every call or click online can be traced back, stored, searched and put together to reveal a portrait of private life. However, current law gives little privacy protection to information about these activities, overstepping the First and Fourth Amendment safeguards that are guaranteed to individual freedoms. There are two cases to be discussed, Smith v. Maryland and United States v. Miller, two of the most important Fourth Amendment decisions of the 20th century. "In these two cases, the Court held that people are not entitled to an expectation of privacy in information they voluntarily provide to third parties" (Thompson, para. 1). This proposition, know as the third–party doctrine, permits the government access to a vast amount of information about individuals, such as the websites they visit, who they have emailed, the phone numbers they call, and their utility, banking, and education records. The first case I want to discuss is Smith v. Maryland–Subpoena for Telephone Call Records. In Smith, the police were investigating the robbery of a young woman, who gave the police a description of her assailant and the vehicle seen near the scene of the crime. The police later spotted a man matching the victim's description driving an identical vehicle in her neighborhood. They got the tag number and traced the vehicle back to a man named Michael Smith. Upon police request, the telephone ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 3. The United States And Japan There had been a growing outcry from the public and leaders for something to be done to reduce the increasingly growing number of Japanese immigrants in the West Coast. Subsequent regulations placed on the Japanese in the United States made them aggravated. There was serious trouble brewing between the United States and Japan until the Japanese carried out attacks on Pearl Harbour in December 1941. After the attack on Pearl Harbor there was increased spread of propaganda from the press and local leaders against the people with Japanese roots. There were numerous calls to the Congress and President Roosevelt for removal of the Japanese from the Pacific Coast. On the 19th day of February 1942, President Roosevelt issued the Executive Order Number 9066 (Wheeler, Becker and Glover 244). The Executive Order authorized the evacuation of the Issei and Missei. About 120000 individuals of Japanese ancestry, both citizens and non–citizens were evacuated from the West Coast in what Lt. General John DeWitt said was compelled by "military necessity" (Wheeler, Becker and Glover 244). The most convincing and reliable evidence reveals that the removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor did not meet the "clear and present danger" test. I do not agree with the Supreme Court's decision. During the evacuation process, Fred Korematu, a Japanese American, sought to evade the ordeal by concealing his identity by using a plastic surgery and using a forged identity. Fred was ...

  • 4. Abrams And Sedition Act Case During times of political unrest and hysteria, the Court seems to allow for more limits on speech if simply because the times host more potential for danger. Take the following example as parallel to Schenck, Abrams, and the circumstances surrounding both. In the 1969 case Brandenburg v. Ohio, the Court abandoned the clear and present danger test, stating that only speech that produces or is likely to produce violent actions or illegal behavior can be banned (Cohen 32). The Court argued a difference between advocacy of ideas and incitement of unlawful conduct exists – though the Court did not define it. During this time, the United States was not concerned with being overthrown by insurgents or overcome with hysteria like earlier in the century. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The Court, in affirming the judgment of lower courts, deferred to Congress but also redefined the standard to protect future free speech since the times implied more stringent restrictions on speech could follow. Had the Court struck down the ruling, Congress would not have the necessary power to limit speech, and future dangerous speech would go unabated since doing so would create the rule that Congress cannot limit free speech. Rather than create this rule, the Court created a new standard by which to measure the ability of Congress to curb free speech on a case–by–case basis. This new standard, which more broadly protects free speech, has evolved over time, as evident in Abrams, Brandenburg, and Holder. The ability to evolve over time and to apply to different cases in lower courts highlights Holmes' idea that rights were established by society and balanced by the needs of the society, according to blah blah, and thus reflects an inherent legitimacy. Again, having this standard and the ability to choose to use it or not allows the Court to reflect the necessities of society, thereby aligning more closely to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

These are the ways to protect your privacy along with saving benefits of contemporary media. This fact proves that we are not yet part of the totalitarian Big Brother Society (Rothstein, 2014, pp. 333–334). However, after September 11, state authorities have become more persistent and empowered to claim access to private lives of their citizens under the aegis of the "war on terror" (Wong, 2006, pp. 179–219). During the period from its enactment in 2001 and until the final amendments in 2011, USA Patriot Act (the acronym for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) has evolved from a security tool into an official waiver of the citizens right to privacy having sanctioned ...

  • 6. Overcoming Adversity In The United States There are many ways to fight adversity. Even though Fighting using force is another way to solve the problem, the best way to overcome adversity is to give the problem time, and revisit it because All attached parties need a few minutes to cool off, but then the way works. The way doesn't create fights and it can save friendships, and this way to overcome adversity was used by the Japanese and the people of the stanford prison experiment. In the Stanford Prison Experiment, a group of college kids were offered money to help out a psychiatric professor with an experiment. The experiment was to see how college kids who were being held in captivity (Zambrano 1) The guards were not given teaching, so they had to figure everything out for themselves. The guards had a slight limit to what they could do physically, but besides that, they had complete freedom to use whatever means necessary. Guards often held "Counts", where the guards would wake up the prisoners, and make them read aloud their assigned prison identification. The reason for these...

  • 7. The Pros And Cons Of The Bill Of Rights Since the creation of the constitution in 1789, people have found ways to disobey the laws written by our founding fathers. Most crimes have punishments that give fair consequences to the misconduct of the person, but some cases prove otherwise. The Bill of Rights were created to override all other law and provide a basis for moral wrongs and rights. Each amendment was written with a purpose to shape our country and give individual citizens the rights they believed were naturally theirs. One case, taken into the hands of the Supreme Court during World War I, caused an uproar of disagreement, to whether the case was decided unfairly. To this day, the case still remains arguable to whether this individual deserved the punishment that was given. In the year of 1919, a man by the name of Charles T. Schenck was tried in court for mailing circulars to draftees. He had very different views against the drafting of military for war, and was punished for his non–violent actions towards it. Around 1914, war broke out in Europe between nations all over the globe. This war was sudden and caused chaos throughout nations because of the excessive damage and need for soldiers. This war became known as World War I, and changed the way in which our nation is shaped today. Soon after the outbreak of war, the Espionage Act of 1917 was put into law. This was a federal law with intentions to restrain interference with any military operations or involuntary enlistment into the military. After this, the Federal Government held a draft for World War I. All male citizens within a specific age range were selected randomly to serve in the military during this war, and it was not optional, but forced. Charles Schenck was an associate of the Socialist party of America in Philadelphia, therefore he had disagreements with the Capitalist government. He was the general of this party, and believed that the war was caused by the rich only to benefit themselves, while poor lower class men were doing all of the suffering and hard work. When Schenck became aware of the government's intentions for recruiting military, he was furious. The government had seemed to have taken the natural born rights of man for themselves to use as they pleased. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Game day at K–State is busy for local law enforcement members. Police must remain on high alert for any kind of suspicious activity in order to keep the public safe.

Memory space is no issue, as ARGUS has the ability to record up to 5,000 hours of footage (Koerner 2015). This type of drone surveillance would capture a drug dealer making a sale to some tailgaters, locate the parking stall where a man needs medical attention after indulging in too many jalapeno poppers or track a pickpocket through a crowd. As far as crowd surveillance goes, the use of drones appears to be a no–brainer. But this type of surveillance can also be a gateway into privacy–concerns. According to Black (2013), today's rapidly changing drone technology carries the potential to violate the privacy rights of an individual. Numerous drones also carry the potential to "threaten privacy in society as a whole." (Black 2013). Moving beyond crowd surveillance, drones are raising a lot of questions in reference to the Fourth Amendment that protects citizens and their houses, papers and effects from unreasonable searches and seizures (U.S. Const. amend IV). As drones have the potential to become important tools in police investigations, there are many situations presented that fall outside of the Fourth Amendment's regulation but fit in well enough to raise it as an issue (Koerner 2015). The concern centers on everything even a simple drone is capable of. The Parrot AR 2.0 come equipped with a camera capable of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Therefore, the courts has to decide if the excuse is acceptable and allow the party to use their secondary evidence in order to prove their case or that the content of the document in order for it to be admissible as evidence in the case.

Therefore, the U.S. court system implemented this rule but if one party suspects that the copy or copies have been altered or it's a fraud than this comes into play for that case. The rationale behind its application was to find the best evidence within a case but due to fraud and the mishandling of evidence this rule was created. It helps to prevent anyone from trying to mislead or even lie about a certain piece of evidence. Furthermore, it eliminates anyone from having to guess if in fact that the evidence is from the actual original copy of if some part of the evidence had been changed at some point in order to get a guilty or innocent verdict in the case. After reviewing each the case of Olmstead v. United States, Nardone v. United States, Goldman v. United States, Berger v. New York andKatz v. United States I have found that each one of these case dealt with wiretapping and whether it was legal for the police or government to tap into their phone lines and use the evidence found in tapping in court as evidence in order to get a guilty verdict.

  • 10. The Opinion Of Justice Binderoff The opinion of Justice BINDEROFF: According to Article I, Section 8(3) of the United States Constitution, Congress is granted the power "to regulate commerce with foreign countries, as well as among the several states...;" this enumerated power is what the Commerce Clause describes. This Article has been used to justify many instances in which Congress has exercised its power to regulate commerce, especially among states. In this regard, there has been a myriad of instances in which such exercise of this congressional power has been challenged. The first instance, was in the case of Gibbons v Ogden (1984), where two men who had been given exclusive licenses by the state of New York to carry passengers to Elizabeth Town from New York, filed a suit in court to block another steamship operator, Gibbons, who had been newly granted a license to carry passengers on that very route, from competing with them. In this case, the Chief Justice found out that Congress was right within its powers – granted by the Commerce Clause – to grant the ferrying license to Mr. Gibbons. The Chief Justice, Marshal, argued that commerce was more than just the selling and purchase of goods, but included other parts of the commercial intercourse between states, such as transport. The argument by the Chief Justice in this context is important in understanding the extent of commerce that falls under the Commerce Clause as intended by the framers.

When WW2 begin there was a massive fear of an invasion of the west coast do to the fact that many civilians and aliens were of Japanese descent. These residents were either second or third generations who has almost lost all ties to their Japanese ancestry. The mass speculations were gathered from evidence of espionage however the FBI and other agency jumped to conclusions with this evidence. From Information Bulletin Number 6 there was evidence of a small network of spies located in the west coast all of whom were of japanese descent. Their assumption that there was a mass underground network of japanese spies that were fully cable of causing sabotages that would disable the west coast defense and leave the whole west coast vulnerable to a japanese invasion were all assumptions from wartime hysteria and a lack of evidence to backup their findings.

  • 12. Analysis Of Rosie The Riveter During World War II During World War II, there were many posters to persuade individuals to help the workforce, some specifically targeting women. In one of the posters, "we can do it," a woman named Rosie the Riveter is exhibited showing her muscles to display her strength. The main attention is the woman's strong arm and caption to exemplify the strength of a female and how underestimated they are in the real world. The poster has very glaring colors and the bandana on the woman's head makes her seem somewhat rebellious and a powerful leader. Her pulled up sleeves demonstrates her independence as a woman and how she can do more than what people expect of her. This image portrays patriotic womanhood to give women more of a voice during the war rather than them being limited to only working inside their homes. In the photo, "longing won't bring him back" it shows a woman holding letters from her husband and she feels this longing for her husband to return from war. However, since the title says "Longing him won't bring him back sooner, get a war job" basically telling the woman that by getting a job, she will not only be helping the workforce, but it will help her stay distracted from missing her husband. Also, in the poster "victory awaits on your fingers," an American girl is shown to encourage woman to find jobs in war production to keep woman in the workforce.

  • 13. The Microsoft Monopoly Essay The Microsoft Monopoly I. Introduction United States vs. Microsoft is one the largest, most controversial antitrust lawsuits in American history. Many claim the government is wrongly punishing Microsoft for being innovative and successful, arguing that Windows dominates the market because of the product's popularity, not because of malpractice by the parent company. Others argue in favor of the government, claiming that Microsoft's practices conflict with the free market ideal. There are many arguments for both sides of the lawsuit, but what the case really comes down to is this: does the government have the right to interfere in today's marketplace? Or is Microsoft violating laws that are rightfully imposed by the government? ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Throughout the 1980's, it became the pre–eminent operating systems of personal computers, until another operating system, DR–DOS, was released by a company called Digital Research. Critics claim that this operating system never had a chance at gaining a fair share of the market because Microsoft deliberately slowed DR–DOS's sales by announcing a better version of MS–DOS was on its way (Newman). Windows, a program that was created in 1983, but did not change the market significantly until 1990, has grown to control 94.1% of the operating system market (Newman). This has required other companies in the software industry to make all of their applications Windows compatible. Critics claim that Microsoft systematically eliminated all competition of other operating systems and software manufacturers. Microsoft also controls a large part of the software industry. According to sales from April 2002, Microsoft sold 89% of office software to consumers (Washington Post). Microsoft bundles these applications with the Windows operating system, which is, according to them, an effective technique. Critics assert that this forces other makers of office software, like Corel, to lose business, because consumers will not buy another application if one is already pre–installed. Critics point to the proposed 1995 merger between Microsoft and Inuit which ultimately failed. Inuit is the maker of the best–selling money management ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Between 1973 and 1977 he had been treated both inpatient and outpatient, numerous times, per the court record, at least 11 times. He had been diagnosed with various mental health issues which included paranoia, schizophrenia, and manic depression. He had even suffered from delusions and had made threats to kill the President. During the series of treatments, Rennie would occasionally refuse to take the prescribed medication given to him by the treatment staff. The record also indicated that during his treatment Rennie had been in frequent fights with other patients as well as the staff, and had gone through suicidal and delusional stages. In 1977, Rennie filed a suit in the New Jersey Circuit Court, against the Ancora Psychiatric Hospital, arguing that the treatment being forced upon him violated his right to privacy. The ruling, in that case, was that although a patient had the right to refuse treatment, certain circumstances can take priority above that the rights of the patient. The court mentioned the following considerations; 1)Is the patient a danger to either themselves, other patients or to the staff at the institution? 2)Does the patient posed the mental ability to determine the best method of ...

  • 15. The Gonzales V. Raich Gonzales v. Raich was a landmark case which determined the extent that Congress could regulate marijuana usage in California. More precisely, the case involves deliberation between the constitutionality of the Compassionate Use Act, voted on by the state of California in 1996, and the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), passed by Congress in 1970. Does the CSA, a policy which permits the regulation of certain drugs and chemicals by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), exceed the regulations set under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution? Does the Compassionate Use Act, which allows for the use of medical marijuana in California, protect citizen's rights to use and distribute marijuana for medicinal purposes? The decision made by the Supreme Court would spark debate over these questions as well as similar topics such as federal abuse of power, doctor patient confidentiality, and the decriminalization of marijuana across America. In my paper, I will cover the events and influences leading up to the Supreme Court's official decision, the significance of the outcome, and the questions and issues brought up in the aftermath of Gonzales v.

During World War I, fears of socialism and communism entered the psyche of the United States and culminated in the Red Scare. Hundreds of American citizens – particularly immigrants – suffered unprecedented arrests and deportations (Fariello 4). During this time, Charles Schenck, secretary of the Socialist Party of America, actively opposed the war. Due to Schenck's efforts, the organization distributed thousands of leaflets criticizing conscription and encouraging readers to assert rights against the draft and intimidation (Schenck v. United States 1). In the 1919 case Schenck v. United States, the defendants were charged with violating the Espionage Act of 1917 by causing and attempting to cause insubordination in U.S. military forces by distributing a document denouncing the draft in name of the 13th amendment (Schenck 1). When insurgency and fear continued, Congress amended the Espionage Act with the Sedition Act, which limited many more forms of speech (Fariello 14). At this point, society had to decide whether these limits on speech aligned with its interests.

Therefore, we hold that the destination principle applies to determine whether an interstate transaction is a taxable sale under our gross receipts tax laws." While the court does not hold the principles of transfer of title, transfer of possession, or risk of loss as dispositive, they are certainly important in analyzing the situs of the sale. iii.

Brandenburg appealed under the idea that the Statute prohibited public speech that advocated certain violent activities, and thus violates Brandenburg's right to free speech under the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court decided that the state had indeed violated free speech by being overly broad and infringing on the constitution due to its two broad questions. These two questions are as follows. Firstly, speech can be prohibited if it is "directed at inciting or producing imminent lawless action". Secondly, if it is "likely to incite or produce such action.".

The Sherman Anti–Trust Act authorized government to make it illegal to make a "restraint of trade or commerce among the several states or with foreign nations". Those that did not abide by this law resulted in a $5,000 fine and a year in prison.

  • 36. The ' Beware Of Dog ' Sign Posted At Cupcakes For Kids The "Beware of Dog" sign posted at Cupcakes for Kids is an absolute defense that will likely remove Plaintiff from any liability if the Defendant files a counterclaim. According to Florida Statute В§ 767.04 (2015), an "owner is not liable, except as to a person under the age of 6 . . . if at the time of any such injury the owner had displayed in a prominent place on his or her premises a sign easily readable including the words 'Bad Dog.'"

The sign must be easily readable meaning that the sign is legible and capable of being read, not necessarily that the injured party must have been able to actually read and understand it. Registe v. Porter, 557 So. 2d 214 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990). In order to be relieved of liability, an owner must have a prominently placed "Bad Dog" sign that is easily readable.

  • 37. Plessy V. Korematsu Research Paper Throughout history people's views on certain subjects have often changed, and with these changes have come disagreements. In some cases, when one disagrees on a subject, such as a law, there will be a dissent of some kind, most likely going against the law. Even so, people will still voice their opinions if it goes against one law or another in most cases. People will stand up for their beliefs when there are consequences because keeping their basic civil rights intact is more important to them than abiding by the law. People have stood up for their beliefs all throughout history, and have faced many consequences for doing so. One example of a man standing up for his beliefs is in 1892 a man by the name of Homer Plessy was taken to court for challenging the Separate Car Act in Louisiana (Konkoly, "Plessy v. Ferguson").

The executive order allowed American citizens of Japanese descent to be banned from certain areas deemed critical for American national security and granted Japanese internment camps to be used during the war (Konkoly, "Korematsu v. United States").

United States, 277 U.S. 438 (1928), various individuals were convicted of alcohol related law violations, and were accused of conspiracy. The operation grossed a generous amount of cash. The main schemer and the general administration of the business was one of the Petitioners, Olmstead (the "Solicitor"). The primary office of the business was in Seattle and there were three phones in the workplace, each on an alternate line. There were phones in an office the Petitioner had in his own home, and at the home of his partners and different places in Seattle.
