- Introduction:

The feudal system of land tenure was introduced in Ireland by Normans. In this regard, the feudal system primarily worked on the principle that the ownership of all land eventually lied with the crown. This principle was base on the presumption that private bodies could not directly own land. The feudal system of tenancy completely disregarded and did not recognize the modern relationship between the landlord and tenants. To this end, grants of land over a period of years were regarded as creating personal contracts only. Nevertheless, it did contain certain characteristics of modern landlord-tenant relationship. The land ownership structure ...

Is Firing Bad Teachers the Real Solution to the De Facto Segregation in the U.S. Education System?

CONTROVERSIAL EDUCATION REFORMS

For example, if one party is for a particular change such as reduction of tests in schools, that particular party will come up with quite convincing reasons such as the need for specialization and reducing burdens to students (Au, 2014). Similarly, the opposing party comes up with equally convincing reasons, and in this case, reasons such as more tests to ...

It asserts that genocide and other grave (and widespread) crimes against humanity in the region are extreme injustices that threaten humanity ...

Pros and Cons of the Notwithstanding Clause

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms contains the notwithstanding clause. This clause has been a major talking point in Canadian politics.
