Difference between republic and democracy

Republic
A republic can be said to be a government that does not have a monarch. The other definition is that it is a form of government in which the affairs of the state are a matter of the public and the public officers are usually elected and not appointed. Nepal became a federal democratic republic in the first half of the 21st century after 240 years under the monarch.

Reasonable suspicion

At the lowest level is the “mere suspicion” arising from a hunch or a feeling of institution on the part of the law enforcement which is not sufficient to prove a fact in a court of law.

Criminal law defines a search as an intrusion with an intention other than arrest. The United States Supreme Court defined search as any government invasion of personal privacy (Basdeo, 2009). Although the constitution grants people their right ...

If the choice is between renegotiation and termination, Missan should renegotiate rather than terminate the contract.

Introduction

This paper examines the question of whether those acquitted of their criminal charges are really innocent. It may be recalled that this question was discussed fifty years ago by Harry Kavlen and Hans Zeisel in their 1966 monograph The American Jury. They have reflected the view that judges are of the opinion that most of the acquittals are not correct and that they are attributable to the jury’s commitment to values although the judges’ criminal justice system have been perfect in its obligations. Jurors do not convict guilty when they can justify ignoring the formal demands of law. ...

The constitution gives law enforcement officers the power to occasionally use force, seize persons and their belongings, perform searches, make arrests, and conduct investigations. However, the law also dictates the boundaries upon which this power is exercised.
According to the diagram, if a person does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy, the fourth amendment fails to apply to their case. ...

1a.) The four main components of a contract are: offer, acceptance, consideration and intention of legal consequences.

With the advent of technology, the level of invasion into the territory of our individual privacies has increased significantly. Fancy gadgets have crept into changing rooms, lockers, washrooms and in some cases public places to record the most intimate acts, which when revealed would embarrass any victim.

Even the judicial pronouncements lack sufficient foresight in laying down the gauntlet for the peeping toms. The situation is clearly calling out for implementing more ...

The difference between natural reason and divine revelation is mainly based on the relationship between theology and philosophy. Reason entails matters to deal with the truths as well as making deductions relating to human nature and the general world. Reason therefore gives the truth but a partial view of human nature. Reasoning is therefore mainly based on philosophical thinking. Divine revelation on the other hand goes beyond philosophical theory and drawing of conclusions relating to realty and human nature using religion and faith as the main basis. Divine revelation involves matters pertaining to God and how the human beings ...

Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground

In self defense, the basic philosophy is that the amount of force to ward off the threat must be proportionate to the force that was being threatened to be used.

For a long time, Apple was not so much involved in activities aligned with corporate social responsibilities.

The respondent`s argument that in commodities trade any deviation from the contract is considered to be a fundamental breach, thus giving the possibility to avoid the contract, is without merit.

Commodities are substitutable goods produced by large number of producers in bulk quantities (Windsor, 2010). Coltan, on the other hand, is not a commodity; it is a non-substitutable material produced by a limited number of producers and used for the production ...

Over the years, there were two main contending theories in the United States concerning the emergence of life: evolution and creationism.

The intelligent design concept purports that an unsystematic natural process could have developed life by no chance. Rather, only the direction of an intelligent power can explicate the intricacy and diversity evidenced today. ...

Emotions and their poor managements cause reasonable thinking to completely go off track. Thinking of answers to a question without its proper understanding propels logical thinking off track.
