Assault on International Law
International law has come under assault from some US academics and politicians who claim it is irrelevant and that states only comply when it is in their self-interest. They argue this provides justification for positions like the US having unilateral control over counterterrorism actions without oversight. However, the author argues these "New Realists" have an impoverished view of rational choice theory and human rationality. Rationality actually requires agents to follow through on plans and commitments when they were originally deemed beneficial. The book aims to expose flaws in the assumptions of those hostile to international law and provide an alternative perspective grounded in a novel theory of rationality.
Bill of rights lo#2
The document discusses the history of how individual civil liberties protections established in the US Constitution's Bill of Rights have been applied to state and local governments. It outlines key Supreme Court cases like Barron v. Baltimore in 1833, which ruled the Bill of Rights did not apply to state actions, and Gitlow v. New York in 1925, which established that the 14th Amendment incorporated some freedoms of speech and press against the states. It also defines the incorporation doctrine through which the Court nationalized most Bill of Rights provisions by applying them to state and local governments via the 14th Amendment due process clause.
Econ - Hist of the National Bank
The document discusses the history of the national bank and Federal Reserve system in the United States. It describes how the First and Second National Banks were established but also disbanded, leading to financial panics. This convinced lawmakers that a central banking authority was needed, resulting in the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and the establishment of the Federal Reserve System to regulate the money supply and act as a lender of last resort.

Over 65,000 EDI messages are exchanged monthly through BargeEx, benefiting participants through faster, more accurate data sharing. Future goals include expanding participation and standardizing data exchange across related transportation industries and organizations.
Lloyd's Register presentation to 1st blue shipping summit 2011
Lloyd's Register's Ship Energy Manager, Dr Zabi Bazari, speaking to 1st Blue Shipping Summit in Athens today, highlighted the potentials for energy saving in shipping.
His main message was that despite significant energy savings that can potentially be achieved, this may not be realisable if current shipping regulatory, legal and financial frameworks are not developed along the line to support the uptake of new technologies and processes.
He argued that a robust regulatory framework together with enhanced contractual arrangement, between charterers and ship owners at one side to facilitate cost-benefit sharing from energy saving operation processes, and also between technology suppliers and ship owners on risk-benefit sharing arising from energy saving technologies are not being fully utilised yet.

Usa Patriot Act
The USA Patriot Act was passed in 2001 as a response to the September 11th terrorist attacks. It made several controversial changes to surveillance laws that granted the government expanded powers to monitor communications and financial and medical records. While intended to help prevent terrorism, many felt certain provisions violated civil liberties and privacy protections. The act faced several legal challenges over its most controversial aspects and their application in cases of suspected but ultimately wrongful terrorism accusations.

The FCPA and why it Matters
October 04, 2010
Michael Osajda
The History, the Details and the Significance of the FCPA
The year is 1977. The place is Washington, D.C. The forum is the United States Congress. The
94th Congress, which ended its term on January 3, 1977, and the 95th Congress both obtain
information revealing evidence of payments from U.S. businesses to foreign governmental
officials and political parties. The payments exceed $300 million and were made either to secure
favorable action by foreign governments, or to prompt government functionaries to discharge
their administrative or clerical duties. The companies accused of the payments represent a wide
range of industrial sectors; drugs and health care, oil and gas production and services, food
products, aerospace, airlines and air services, and chemicals.1
These embarrassing revelations were discussed by the Congress on a number of levels, most
notably their impact on international relations, their reflection on the state of U.S. business
ethics, and their effect on competition.
On the level of international relations, while détente with the Soviet Union had commenced, the
Cold War was still a fact of life. There was an active struggle for worldwide influence between
the Soviet Union and the United States. In that context, Congress stated that corporate bribery
had foreign policy implications. These scandals lent ―credence to the suspicions sown by foreign
opponents of the United States that American enterprises exert a corrupting influence on the
political processes of their nations.‖2
There were also ethical and business levels to the issue. Congress flatly stated the obvious: ―The
payment of bribes to influence the acts or decisions of foreign officials, foreign political parties
or candidates for foreign political office is unethical. It is counter to the moral expectations and
values of the American public.‖3 These sentiments resonated in Washington in 1977. While
President Jimmy Carter’s credentials as an economic leader or as the Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces may have been questioned by his critics, his role as a proponent of moral and
ethical behavior was an important part of his presidency. President Gerald Ford signed the
Helsinki Accords on human rights, but Jimmy Carter elevated the principles contained in the
Accords in importance during his term.4
Finally, on the pure business level, Congress concluded that the corrupt activity that had been
presented was bad business. It skewed the economic transaction. Rather than quality, service,
salesmanship, price, or other factors being rewarded, corruption was paramount. Exposure of
such activity could also have negative consequences for the company involved. It could ―damage
a company’s image, lead to costly lawsuits, cause the cancellation of contracts, and result in the
appropriation of valuable assets overseas.‖5

The Great Fraud of 1930–33
The document summarizes the fraudulent bankruptcy of the United States government in the 1930s and the deception used to claim ownership over American citizens and their assets.
Key points:
- In 1930, the US declared bankruptcy at the Geneva Conventions and removed from the gold standard.
- In 1933, FDR pursued domestic bankruptcy and confiscated privately held American gold, totaling over 20,000 tons.
- Birth certificates were issued to claim Americans as property and pledge their labor and assets to pay government debts. This established an "implied contract" without proper disclosure or consent.
- Through legal trickery and semantic deceit, the US government unlawfully seized control of American assets and estates from 1933 to 1999
Poliy Debate topic analysis 15 16-bg
This document provides an overview of the policy debate topic on domestic surveillance in the United States. It begins with definitions of key terms in the resolution and provides a historical background of domestic surveillance laws and programs from the 1791 Bill of Rights to the 2015 USA Freedom Act. The document then outlines potential affirmative advantages and harms of curtailing domestic surveillance, as well as example plans and cases the affirmative could run. It concludes by discussing negative disadvantages, counterplans, and critical approaches the negative could take in the debate.
Citizenfour producers-face-legal-challenges-over-edward-snowden-leaks
This document is a complaint filed in United States District Court against Edward Snowden, filmmakers involved in the documentary Citizenfour, and their production companies. It alleges that Snowden breached his security agreements and oath by stealing and disseminating classified government information. It further alleges that the filmmakers aided and abetted Snowden's illegal acts by collaborating with him to profit from the stolen information and cloak his actions as whistleblowing rather than espionage. The complaint seeks a constructive trust over profits from Citizenfour to remedy damage to national security and unjust enrichment by the defendants.
