More so, it is a unique habitat with its own unique development system, including the judiciary.
Puerto Rico is a dependent territory of the United States and has the status of "unincorporated organized territory”, which means that the area is under the control of the United States (and is not an integral part thereof), ...

Abstract

This paper puts the legal and ethical issues of physician-assisted suicide in the context of the larger debate on privacy and the right to die, which can be divided into three constituent parts: (1) a patient’s constitutionally protected right to privacy in all matters involving end-of-life treatment decisions. So long as a patient has the mental capacity to make informed consent, the government does not have a legitimate interest to override end-of-life decisions. Critical to the analysis of a patient’s refusal of life-sustaining treatment is the burden of the state to prove a patient did not have ...

The case of Roper vs. Simmons is a case that involved the issuance of a ruling by the United States Supreme Court holding and arguing that imposing capital punishment on minors was unconstitutional. The case of Roper vs. Simmons had the punishment extents of juveniles involved in murder cases lowered contrary to an earlier strict ruling in cases involving minors.

Abstract

The democratic system of the United States should presuppose transparency and good faith associated with the activities of the fundamental institutions such as the Supreme Court of Justice. The real practice confirmed that there are some significant shortcomings associated with the structure of this legislative body such as absence of definite term limits for the members of the Court to carry out their functions. According to the Constitution there are no definite terms of responsibility. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior. At the same time the live tenure may ...

Abstract

This paper examines the case of Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency, a 5-4 Supreme Court decision that combined the substantive, environmental law question of whether the Environmental Protection Agency erred in its initial decision not to regulate greenhouse gas emissions for motor vehicles with the procedural issue of whether states, cities, and environmental organizations had legal standing (defined as the right to use the courts as opposed to Congress to force governmental action) for the environmental claims at issue in the case. This paper begins with a brief overview of the political, legal, and cultural context for assessing the ...

The First Amendment to the US Constitution provides that Congress shall make no law that restricts freedom of expression or of the press. Such wording restricts state power as a greater and a lesser degree compared to what it could do in this regard if the wording used in the literal sense.
The said formulation limits the power of the state to a greater extent in the sense that it applies not only to Congress but to all branches of the federal government, all branches of state governments and local authorities. The wording in question, limit state power to ...

The federal court system of the United States has been divided into 94 federal judicial districts in order to efficiently dispense federal justice. The physical extent of the powers of each judiciary is not necessarily bound by state borders or borders of any specific kind, but is decided by Congress (“Court Role and Structure”). For example, the District of Wyoming has jurisdiction over all of Yellowstone National Park, including the areas of the park that are located in Montana and Idaho. Another example is that of New Jersey, where the physical extent of the jurisdiction includes Camden, Newark, and ...

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech by restricting legislations that curtail this freedom. U.S. Supreme Court decisions reinforce respect for the freedom of speech against legislations by the federal and state governments. However, some forms of communication are exempt from First Amendment guarantees. Obscenity is one such exemption. In Roth v. the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court cited a series of cases dating back to 1877 to demonstrate the Court’s consistent regard of obscenity as an expression that is not protected by the First Amendment right to free speech. Since obscenity does not form part of ...

Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution

Introduction

The United States Constitution was framed without a Bill of Rights, and subsequent amendments came to be parts of the Bill of Rights, although this was framed amid the lack of confidence of an oppressive regime. The fourth, fifth, and sixth amendments provided rules to safeguard individual liberty. The Sixth Amendment protects citizens against unfair denials of life and liberty by ordering the federal government to give protections to all suspected criminal offenders (Chhablani, 2008).

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against unpredictable violations of privacy by government authorities. This protects ...

Historical significance of the Roe vs. Wade case

The Supreme Court in the Roe vs. Wade case (1973), made a ruling challenging a Texas statute that prohibited abortion unless the life a woman was in danger. Jane Roe, an unmarried woman, filed the case so that the law could be adjusted to let her have a safe and legal abortion. Wade, a judge at the Supreme Court, sided with Roe and termed the Texas statute unconstitutional. For the first time in history, the Supreme Court acknowledged that the constitutional right to privacy is far-reaching to entail the decision of a woman whether to keep or terminate the ...

Introduction

Gay marriages have been a controversial issue in the recent past. Quite interestingly, it has received mixed reactions from different people of different nations, religions, and cultures. It is essentially a marriage between individuals of the same sex (ProCon.org, 2016). This is a contradiction of many religious and cultural beliefs since traditionally, marriage is meant to be between people of different genders. On the contrary, times have changed, and people have been brought up under different circumstances. Some people have an attraction towards people of the same sex, and this has led to same-sex marriages. The differences in opinions ...

Every religion of this world has its own culture, with many customs, traditions and refined qualities. The Hindu culture is a culture of love, respect, honouring others and humbling one's own ego so that the inner nature, which is naturally pure and modest, will shine forth. It is no surprise that they cherish The Bhagavad Gita as a sacred Hindu text. It is known as the song of God besides being one of the oldest religious texts in the world.

The death penalty remains a most controversial topic not only in the ‘US but the rest of the world for many years now. It was in 1622 that the first execution took place in the United States in Virginia for a criminal in the American colonies as stated by Marcus (838). Many oppose while several others support the death penalty. What adds to the debatable issue are the process, mistakes, and costs involved. The last execution in the US took place in 2015.
The paper considers all those issues related to the death penalty and if it is the ...

Introduction

The religion and politics are two mutually exclusive aspects of an individual’s life are not supposed to pragmatically overlap because they control different institutions which are structurally independent of each other. However, the religious groups are generally associated with the politically secular organizations and this bivalence in their association causes the complications of religion interfering with the political regimes. It is also true that most of the ethical considerations are driven by religious faith which cannot demarcate itself from the political realms of diplomacy and opportunism. This research paper aims at exploring various historical incidents and political scenarios ...

For years obtaining a marriage license was a requirement in order to say that your marriage was legal. In some states, there is a particular time frame in order to get your license before you marry or else you will have to delay the nuptials. However, each state has different requirements for couples wishing to be granted a marriage license. Marriage licenses are also used to prevent what the court considers to be inappropriate marriages. But after the U.S. Supreme Court made the decision to allow gay marriages to become legalized, some do not see the purpose of a ...

Fugitive Slave Act was a couple of federal legislations that allowed for the incarceration and return of runaway fugitives within the territory of the US. Initially, the Congress enacted the Fugitive Slave Act in 1793 that empowered the local governments to capture and return the slaves who have escaped from their owners and impose penalties to people who aided the escape of the slaves. The extensive resistance to the 1973 legislation later spurred the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850.The new law further complicated issues by imposing harsher punishments for the people who were interfering with the ...

The Fair Sentencing Act

On August 3, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, for the first time in the History of the U.S (Grindle, 2010). This law was a response to the then claims of racial biases of the law in convicting drug dealers. This Act established new quantity thresholds, which were meant to trigger statutory mandatory minimum and maximum penalties for offenses related to cocaine. By so doing, this law amended the Controlled Substance Act and the controlled import and export of substance. This new law saw to it that the quantities of cocaine that ...

The bill of rights refers to the significant rights of the American citizens and plays a critical role in safeguarding the rights from infringement by the government. The original constitution was outlined in Philadelphia in 1787 and was ratified by the different states in America. The original constitution laid a base for the bill of rights. However, this constitution contained less number of individual rights guarantees and was focused on launching a system for an effective federal government. Persons such as Pinckney and Madison are perceived as the ‘architects’ of the bill of rights that is applied in America ...

The justice system within the United States is focused on the development of a court system that is governed by a series of judges. Judges serve at either the local, state, or national level in a variety of capacities, and to varying extents. The highest court of a state is the Supreme Court, while the same title is given to the highest court in operation in the country. As judges at this level are not permitted by rules of etiquette to engage in political activities, it is not generally known which party each belongs to.

Currently, California has seven sitting Supreme Court judges. Their names are:

Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye

The Constitution of the United States of American offers a wide range of guarantees and rights to the people of the nation. The motive behind the Bill of Rights is to protect the American people from anarchical and tyrannical regimes. The reason for the US Supreme Court’s blunder in the verdict supporting corporate funding for election campaigns is due to comprehension (Cornell University Law School, 2011). They did not interpret the First Amendment of the US Constitution in the proper context. The enactment of laws and the subsequent consequences should be in line with the context of why ...

Elections usually come down to a handful of states due to the way the Electoral College is set up. Those states are Florida, Virginia, Ohio, and Colorado, also known as “swing” states or “purple” states. This assumes that each party holds on to its core big states. The democrats have California, New York, and Illinois. The republicans have Texas. What would happen if either party lost one of their key states? Well, doing a little math, the republicans only have one. To say it would have a rippling effect would be an understatement. Before we can answer this question, ...

Bambauer suggests that Searches and seizure in schools are in other words a debate about the privacy of individuals and the extent to which the state or anybody is able to invade an individual’s private life. Despite the fact that this may seem insignificant, a student’s locker in most cases is the only private space that a student has in a communal atmosphere of the school. In many occasions, the debate about searches and seizure is seen as an American issue. However, this can apply to ...

Clayton Lockett was a 38-year-old murderer of a 19-year-old girl whom he shot twice and then buried while she was still alive (Connor, 2015). Following his conviction, he was sentenced to death in Oklahoma by lethal injection. Fifteen years later in April 2014, his execution was botched when inadequate drugs, an inability to find an adequate vein for instillation, and inappropriate administration into muscle tissue resulted in an agonizing and prolonged death. The public’s response to the news releases ignited again the debate over the use of the death penalty for punishment of the worst offenders in society.

Introduction

Before this case of Mapp v. Ohio, it was inadmissible in a federal court of law to use evidence that had been obtained in violation of the 4th amendment, if federal officers had obtained that information. On the other hand, in a state court, law enforcement officers – whether federal or state - could take evidence seized in violation of the amendment and present it to the state courts. As a result, someone could be prosecuted criminally in state courts based on evidence acquired in breach of the 4th amendment. Mapp v. Ohio is a benchmark case that led to ...

Perhaps one of the most commonly known rights guaranteed by the first ten amendments to the Constitution is the Fourth Amendment’s “right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches” (U.S. Const. amend IV). Interestingly, while the meaning of the term “unreasonable” might seem intuitive, the Framers of the Constitution did not provide a specific or detailed definition of it. However, after the Supreme Court; relying on the fact that Article III of the Constitution vested the Court with the judicial power to “all cases” that arise under the “Constitution, ...

ABSTRACT

One of the interesting unique aspects of the American legal system is that it really is two systems, namely one at the federal level and one at the state level. Generally, the two systems have little interaction. That is to say, the federal legal system focuses on issues involving the federal government, foreign affairs, and relations between the states. Conversely, the state legal system focuses on matters state specific matters such as education and healthcare. Two areas, however, where the state and federal legal system often interact and occasional collide is immigration and crime. The 2012 Supreme Court case, ...

Civil Rights Events
The end of the civil war in America abolished slavery but racism still persisted in the country with segregation in education, public transport and housing being very prevalent. The civil rights movement in America has a long history and African-Americans have been fighting for equal rights since the beginning of the last century. Two events from the civil rights movement paved the way for stronger legislation and changes in how the African Americans were treated. On 17th May 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education ...

Faith, being an intangible concept, is almost indefinable. But there are theologians, like Soren Kierkegaard and Paul Tillich, who dared to define faith and its role in everyday life. There are similarities and differences between the interpretation of Kierkegaard and Tillich of faith, and some critics are not contented with or opposed to their ideas, particularly as regards the subject-object division. This paper argues that a thorough, critical analysis of the ideas of Kierkegaard and Tillich regarding faith will demonstrate both theologians remaining devoted to the conflict between the finite world and the infinite, unbounded realm. Kierkegaard often emphasizes ...

The 2nd amendment is one of the most important parts of the American Constitution, which gives an individual right to bear arms. “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” (U.S. Const. amend. II) has raised many public debates about the controversy of the topic with trying to limit and even ban the right of the firearms from citizens. The 2nd amendment added to the Constitution on the December 15, 1791 has been questioned and seen different interpretations. The American ...

The gun control debate has been raging in the open parlance for quite sometimes, at least everybody in America feels the need to be safe, and the only controversy is how to be safe; by allowing more guns to civilians or by withdrawing or limiting the number of guns held by civilians? The Second Amendment to the American Constitution, which came into force in 15th December 1791, has provisions protecting civilians’ rights of keeping and bearing firearms (Klukowski 195). However, debates on gun controls have majorly questioned the role of the government in ensuring that it provides security services ...

Introduction and Thesis

A reflection on various countries all around the world depicts the persistent emergence of revolts against the ruling government (s).

One of, if not the most, important products of the media industry is the dissemination of content. However, every time a piece of content is disseminated or published, the author of that content is subject to potential liabilities. One of the most common liabilities is defamation.
Defamation, is largely defined by state law. However, most definitions of defamation are generally the same. Accordingly, defamation, in essence, refers to the dissemination or publication of false information to another that injures or harms the reputation of a person, groups or organization (Solove, et al., 159). More specifically, defamation requires the occurrence ...

Russian and Cuban Communism

The application varies though in various countries. Russian Communism is better than Cuban Communism because limited political pluralism exists in Russia. The political pluralism though limited in Russia can lead to further reforms in the future where the people will elect the political party that ...

Abstract

The criminal justice system in the United States provides Constitutional guarantees for all who are subject to the laws of the land. The three most controversial aspects of this system today are Search and Seizure, arrest, and interrogations. While these three aspects are the foundation of police action throughout the nation, there are several unresolved problems in how each of these processes is in use today. The presence of the law is not always the same as upholding it. The cases which made the case for the citizens are moving into obscurity with modern variations of the problems making ...

Established by the Greek statesman, Solon, sometime in the 600 B.C., voting has always been a key feature of democracy.

A government by the people must have the participation of the people, which is realized through suffrage. Today, voting rights are already universally practiced, yet there are certain circumstances wherein such right is taken away by the state. In the United States, a person will lose ...

That is to say, very little public, media or government attention has focused on other equally important areas of privacy including privacy in the private sector, such as in the hospitality industry. Nowadays, the hospitality industry increasingly has access mountains of ...
