Introduction Addition of discrete numbers is pretty straightforward; more than 80% of the human population can make mental calculations instantly.

So in my pursuit to understand the topic well, I decided to research upon how some of these techniques (Trapezium Rule and Simpson’s Rule) came about, how they work, and what they really mean. With this intent, ...

However, does the concept of 'majority rule' really function to serve the best interests in a democratic ...

When studying philosophy and political science in general, the names of Plato and Aristotle are often mentioned as the most prominent minds and the starters of many philosophical and political doctrines. Both philosophers were concerned with the nature of the State, or the polis, the forms it could take and which one of them could be considered as the best possible regime a society could give itself. According to Bertrand Russell, Aristotelism gave the foundations to forms of government based on reason, while Platonism gave foot to idealism and the establishment of mysticism as a way to control societies .

An independent agency is formed to cater for functions that are not handled by the federal executive departments.

The passing of law by the congress facilitates the creation of independent federal agency and lays down the structure under which the agency it proposes to create will operate. The agency has the ability to draft rules concerning the specific task it covers, which have the support of the constitution. Collegiate bodies such as a board or commission handle the running of independent agencies. The president with ...

According to Xenophon in his book The Education of Cyrus, "It is easier, given his nature, for a human being to rule all the other kinds of animals than to rule human beings" (p. 22). This quote sums up perfectly the difficulties of rule; one's followers, unlike animals, have the ability to revolt and to disagree with the way a ruler runs things. How can this go right and go wrong? Xerophon's philosophy of stable political rule is shown through the actions and attitudes of three rules in The Education of Cyrus: Cyrus himself, his foolish uncle Cyaxares, and the evil ...

Statutory interpretation is the process by which courts and judges give meaning to enacted legislation and consequently apply it to a particular case. In the English as well as the Wales legal system, the doctrine of separation of powers prevails whereby Parliament is the supreme law maker. The Executive is charged with the responsibility of implementing the legislation as passed by Parliament while the Judiciary is the final arbiter which interprets legislation as enacted by Parliament. Thus, in tandem with the doctrine of separation of powers, the courts must keep within their ambit and ensure they do not arrogate to ...

The topic on exclusionary rule has generated an immense debate, pitting two sides; those supporting its ban and those opposed to its ban.

The passage from the Republic by Plato is prone to different interpretations. To gain full comprehension of the passage the reader is obliged to delve deep into the platonic debate between Socrates and Glaucon. The trajectory of the argument according to Plato, was that democracies are governments ran by fools. The principal argument in the discussion was that democracies elect courses of action without a coherent understanding of the matter they are handling. The overriding argument was that only those who are fully experienced in statecraft should be allowed to rule. ‘Socrates argued that the cobbler and the medical doctor ...

“Instructor name’ ‘Institutional Affiliation” Imperialism is a subject which draws very strong opinions and emotions from historians and it offers a lot of scope for arguments and discussions.

Abstract

In the framework of the modern merge between philosophy and economic theory, two opposite theories of socio-economic development of human civilization are of specific interest.

In order to understand the correlation between those two concepts and realize what might be wrong about liberty, Mill’s work “On Liberty” will be analyzed from the perspective of ...

Double jeopardy also referred to as non bis in idem is a rule that prohibits prosecution of an individual for a second time. The rule dictates that fugitives acquitted or convicted for same offenses should not be put under prosecution for the second time (Gracia, 15).

Particularly, double jeopardy is prohibited by the 5th Amendment of the United States constitution (Rudstein, 11) . The Clause is ...

The exclusionary rule was established by the Supreme Court in the holding in Weeks. United States. It was intended to reinforce the Constitutional Forth Amendment provision that guaranteed privacy rights. Its principle is to the effect that violation of procedural safeguards excluded evidence so gathered from the trial process.

However, the rule is not cast on stone and should be applied with exception, case in point the good faith exception. It is my contention that in the case of United States vs. Leon, the majority had a stronger argument. Reading the holding one appreciates the wisdom in the judgement delivered ...

The exclusionary rule, which forbids the use of illegal obtained evidence in trial, has always been a controversial element of the American criminal justice system. Although it is not considered an individual right, the Supreme Court has held that it is a useful tool to deter against the violation of a person’s constitutional rights. In fact, one of the fundamental reasons that the Supreme Court, in Mapp v. Ohio, made for the use of the exclusionary rule was the benefit they saw in deterring police from violating the Fourth Amendments rights of the people against unreasonable searches and seizure.
