Is the Gun Lobby Still Invincible?

This is due to the strengthening of the American media of the various communities who find the resources and mechanisms of influence for their own interests. The terms of the interests ...

The narrative of this story goes on to explore the issues of loyalty and trust between a father and a son, and thus works as an exploratory commentary on human relationships and values. A close introspection of the literary text in context ...

There are different approaches to define small economies. Besides usual quantitative ways to measure country’s smallness by its population, territory, GDP and other criteria, there some qualitative factors that are used to define the economy’s scale. Some economists state that small economies are those that adopt “price taking” policies as they cannot dictate their rules in the market, neither significantly influence trade rules. This peculiarity of small economies mainly lies in the fact that such countries have limited resources. Hereby, small countries are more dependent on imports and are forced to accept trade agreements offered by large ...

The treatment reflects the longstanding notion that family and domestic matters are private and should not be subject to law enforcement interference.

Until very recently, a husband could not be prosecuted for the rape of his wife. What is important to note is that domestic violence affects all types of persons. There is no one, ...

The taxation system is the largest contributor when it comes to government revenue. There are five basic principles when it comes to the idea of taxation. These principles are: 1) to raise revenue, 2) reprice certain goods and services (tobacco, alcohol, etc.) to meet social objective, 3) income and wealth redistribution, 4) raise representation within the democratic process, and 5) to reorganize the economy (Murphy, 2009, p. 211). It is a firm argument that all of these principles must be in place in order for the concept of taxation to work.

In the U.S. Supreme Court case, Obergefell v. Hodges, same-sex couples were granted the right to marry and to found a family. One of the mist fundamental questions regarding this case is, “Did these jurists (judges) “interpret” or apply the U.S. Constitution, or did they “make” new law?” I strongly believe that granting the right to marry to homosexual couples cannot be regarded as making a new law. It should be taken into consideration that “constitutional law is not a mechanical exercise of just “applying the law” (Stone, "Our Fill-in-the-Blank Constitution"). In this particular case, the judges interpreted the ...
