Legality in business law
The document discusses several types of contracts that may violate statutes or public policy, including wagers, licensing statutes, usury, restraint of trade, exculpatory clauses, bailment cases, unconscionable contracts, and adhesion contracts. Wagers and unlicensed contracts are generally unenforceable, while usury laws prohibit excessive interest on loans. Non-compete agreements must be reasonable, and exculpatory clauses are generally invalid for public services or intentional torts. Adhesion contracts can be ruled unconscionable if parties have unequal bargaining power. The document stresses the importance of ensuring contracts are lawful.
Typologies of corruption in central eastern europe
The document discusses the many forms that corruption can take and how it distorts political systems. It notes that while the methods of corruption vary, the impact is on undermining the fair workings of government. The document then examines specific ways that corruption manifests in post-communist regions, such as through bribery, nepotism, privatization schemes, and media manipulation for political gain. It concludes that pervasive corruption is the main obstacle to democracy and economic progress in these areas.

The document discusses whether to pay bribes ("mordidas") to government officials in a Latin American country in order to gain business. Frank, who is retiring, has paid bribes for 10 years of success, but the new representative, Bill, refuses on ethical and legal grounds. While bribery is common, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits it. The case raises issues around differing cultural perspectives on bribery and how to balance ethics and business practices internationally.
Recall,Initiative, Referendum2
California allows citizens to directly participate in the legislative process through initiatives, referendums, and recalls. While some argue this makes democracy more direct, others counter that these tools are actually used by wealthy elites and special interest groups to push their agendas. Additionally, many initiatives end up being poorly written or invalidated in court due to the public not having sufficient expertise to craft legislation. Overall, there is debate around whether direct democracy through these processes truly empowers citizens or is susceptible to manipulation.
Judicial Review
A history of Judicial Review in the United States, what it means, and how it has been implemented. Several important cases from the John Marshall Court have shaped and molded the way people have reinterpreted the Constitution.
systemstheory.evans-morgan-murali.doc
This document discusses how systems theory applies to the U.S. government and its role in international business. It outlines the three branches of government - legislative, executive, judicial - and how each self-regulates through feedback loops and communications between branches. The executive branch in particular functions as both an autopoietic (self-regulating) and allopoietic (creating things external to itself) system when conducting international business. Examples are given of how government policymaking involves many interconnected influences and works to maintain stability through its open-yet-rule-bound interactions with other countries on issues like climate change, trade, and foreign policy.
What’s wrong with congress?
Gerrymandering, lack of social representation, pork barrel projects, term limits for committee chairs, ethical scandals, ineffective oversight of the executive branch, abuse of the filibuster are some of the issues that negatively impact Congress according to the document. Women and ethnic minorities make up less than 16% and 7% of Congress respectively. Committee chairs are now subject to term limits of 6 years which has led to loss of expertise and intra-party squabbles.

Captured is a audiobook by U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse that examines how corporate influence has infiltrated and disabled the U.S. government. The book draws on the senator's first-hand experiences to explain how corporate powers have exploited vulnerabilities in the system to threaten elected officials, stack the judiciary with business-friendly judges, capture regulatory agencies, and undermine public health and safety issues. Senator Whitehouse argues that corporate influence looks to undermine individual liberty and shows how citizens can regain control of their government.

The duty to obey the laws
There are three major reasons to obey the law: 1) To avoid legal consequences, 2) Out of respect for authority, and 3) Because it is morally right. However, there are some exemptions - there is no duty to obey if a law departs from established patterns of conduct or if there is no independent moral reason to obey.
The document discusses different philosophers' views on the prima facie duty to obey laws. W.D. Ross identified seven prima facie duties, including fidelity, reparation, gratitude, and justice. Socrates argued in The Crito that the duty to obey laws arises partly from gratitude for the benefits of that society and from being a permanent resident whose laws one is expected
Governance and corruption
This document discusses key governance issues in the Philippines. It notes that while the Philippines has a democratic system, the national governance faces issues like a weak and unpredictable regulatory environment, policy incoherence and flip-flops, particularism and patronage politics, weak law enforcement, and inadequate bureaucracy.

The Constitution established a system of separation of powers and checks and balances to distribute federal power. It also discusses compromises made at the Constitutional Convention, such as the Connecticut Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise. The first ten amendments of the Bill of Rights were added to explicitly protect individual liberties.
Torts in law at help withassignment

Legal injuries include physical, emotional, economic, and reputational harm. Torts are categorized as negligence, intentional, or statutory. Negligence torts involve failing to use reasonable care. Intentional torts arise from land use or include false imprisonment and defamation. Statutory torts are enacted by legislatures regarding areas like consumer protection or workplace safety. To prove liability, the plaintiff must show the defendant breached a duty of care owed and caused damages.

- The presidency has evolved over time from a minimal role defined by the Constitution to a more powerful position through ambiguous clauses and the president's ability to influence public opinion. However, presidents face constraints from Congress, the public, and other factors.
- There are key differences between presidential and parliamentary systems in how the head of government is chosen and whether they have majority support in the legislature.
- The powers of the president have expanded from the early, reserved administrations through commanding the military, executing laws, and appointing cabinet officials, but control over departments and Congress remains uncertain.
Business Ethics: Greed is not good
Capitalism, democracy, socialism, communism, plutonomy, and dictatorship were defined as different forms of governance. Capitalism is a private ownership system focused on profit, while democracy involves citizens in decision making through voting. Socialism advocates for government ownership and equal distribution of wealth. Communism envisions common ownership without social classes. Plutonomy focuses on growth for the wealthy, and dictatorship concentrates power in one entity. The film Wall Street portrays the rise and dangers of unchecked greed, as a character is swept up in fast money but risks integrity and family.
Lecture Slides Presidency
The document summarizes key aspects of the US presidency, including the selection process, qualifications, and succession order.

The growth of the executive branch through creation of offices like the Executive Office and key Cabinet positions is summarized. Presidential character typologies are also briefly outlined.
Presentation on crime
an illegal act for which someone can be punished by the government; especially :a gross violation of law.
crime is an unlawful act punishable by a state or other authority.The term "crime" does not, in modern criminal law, have any simple and universally accepted definition, though statutory definitions have been provided for certain purposes.The most popular view is that crime is a category created by law; in other words, something is a crime if declared as such by the relevant and applicable law. One proposed definition is that a crime or offence (or criminal offence) is an act harmful not only to some individual but also to a community, society or the state ("a public wrong"). Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law.
Founding Principles
The document discusses the founding principles of the United States as established during the Constitutional Convention. It outlines the key principles as: rights come from God, not government; all political power comes from the people; a limited representative republic form of government; a written Constitution; and protection of private property rights. It then summarizes how these principles became embedded in the Constitution through the work of the founders and debates around ratification, though some erosion of the principles began shortly after through expansions of federal power.
Courts
This document provides an overview of the US legal system and Supreme Court. It discusses how laws are created and categorized, the roles and jurisdictions of different courts, factors considered in Supreme Court nominations, models of judicial decision making, and types of opinions issued by the Court.

Criminal law addresses behaviors harming citizens while civil law regulates interactions between individuals.
The american revolution
The document summarizes the key events of the American Revolution, beginning with the 13 original colonies having self-government but no representation in London. Tensions increased after the French and Indian War led to higher taxes being levied on the colonies by the British.
