    11014474 Question 1: Senator Hill makes three challenges to the charges against him. The first is that the committee could not conduct investigations into this subject matter. The committee lays out its purpose clearly; it is to investigate the accusations of sexual assault claims against Senator Hill. The congressional power of inquiry is enforced both in Kilbourn v. Thompson and McGrain v. Daugherty, as well as the power to punish witnesses who do not comply. However, the precedent sent forth Kilbourn states that inquiries must not invade areas reserved to other branches of government, must deal with subjects of which Congress could legislate, and must be within the scope of a subject of congressional interest.…

    Yes Webb v. City of Philadelphia came out right to me. The case result came from the Utilitarianism lens; the right way to behave in a given situation is to choose the alternative that is likely to produce the greatest overall good (Textbook, page 16), so not letting Webb wear her religious garb on the job would have less consequences for the Police department. In the City’s view, at stake is the police department’s impartiality, or more precisely, perception of its impartiality by the citizens of all races, and religions whom the police are charged to serve and protect (Textbook page 143). I think the case would have come out differently under the Virtue Ethics.…

Can anyone imagine a world without constitutional protections, provided for the accused, against arbitrary accusations? Before the establishment of the United States’ Constitution, the founding fathers of America understood that rights inherently bestowed unto the people are rights that should be protected by government institutions. The right against cruel and unusual punishment and the right to a trial by jury are just two of the several protections offered to Americans by the Constitution. In the case Hurst v. State of Florida, Timothy Hurst was charged, convicted, and sentenced to death for the murder of Cynthia Harrison at the…
