    On April 19, 1775, from an unknown origin along the open plains of Lexington, Massachusetts Bay, a musket shot sailed through the open air between where an American militia and a British troop regiment were currently standing off. In its wake, an uncoordinated British retaliation left several militiamen dead. The end of salutary neglect had brought an increasingly tighter grip on the colonists of the still-budding British America, from the restrictive trading policies placed by the Sugar Act to the direct tax enacted by the Stamp Act, culminating in the grouped “Intolerable Acts” of 1774. Various congresses had formed to discuss the Stamp Act and Intolerable Acts to no avail, openly rejected and scoffed at by King George III, the reigning…

    Considerations on the Propriety of Imposing Taxes in the British Colonies, for the Purpose of raising a Revenue, by Act of Parliament was a primary document written by Daniel Dulany in 1765. To give some context, this was around the time that the colonies and the British began to have hostility and tensions between them. In this document, Dulany writes about how the English government was treating the colonies unfairly and too harshly. Dulany never uses the word Stamp Act, but it is strongly implied that he is not in support of it. He believes that the way the colonists were being represented was too low of a status.…

    Laws are generally formed with a specific intent behind them. When drafted, people in the government are motivated to help the people as best as they can, or to express authority over the people. In the mid-1700s, the British government thought the same thing. They imposed various laws, such as the Sugar Act, commonly known as the American Revenue Act, to generate revenue. New England colonists were openly opposed to this act because they were worried that the tax on foreign molasses would infringe on the northern rum industry.…

    The case of Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc. v. Saskatchewan, 2005 SCC 13, [2005] 1S.C.R. 188 is considered very controversial as it questions the national public health concern that is caused by the smoke of tobacco and can affect our youth in a negative way. What this cases focuses on is s. 6 of the Saskatchewan Tobacco Control act and how by the virtue of the paramountcy doctrine is inoperative due to the fact of s. 30 of the federal tobacco Act. The doctrine of paramountcy establishes that where there is a conflict between valid provincial and the federal law or its purpose, the federal law will prevail. Furthermore, s. 30 of the federal tobacco act allows retail stores to display tobacco and tobacco product-related brand elements and post…

    I believe the British had the right to tax the American Colonies because they were British territories, received protection from the British Army, and the people who lived there were considered British subjects. While the colonists were unrepresented in Parliament, the laws of Great Britain were clear that the taxation of the American Colonies was completely legal and well warranted. Up until the 1760’s the colonist had enjoyed tax-free living. However, in Great Britain the native population there was under heavy tax burdens because of the ongoing Seven Years’ War in North America. To cover the cost of the war and the army in the Colonies, British Parliament passed tax acts on the Colonies.…

    Although Lord Rockingham, the predecessor of Grenville, began to seek the repeal of the Stamp Act, this in no way meant the British Parliament was conceding their control. In fact, while the Stamp Act was repealed another called the Declaratory Act of 1766, gave Parliament the authority to make laws binding the American Colonies, “in all cases whatsoever.” In 1767, George III passed the Townshend Acts to collect taxes on glass, lead, paints, paper and, tea.…

    The cases have contrasting outcomes due mainly due to the language used by Manchester City Council which ended in Storer being able to buy the council house and Gibson being declined to buy the council house. In the Case of Gibson, Manchester City Council stated that they “may be prepared to sell the house”; whilst in the Storer case they stated that “if you will sign the Agreement and return to me, I will send you the Agreement sign on behalf of the Council in exchange”. The language and conduct of the Manchester City Council was objectively scrutinized in each case and found that there was intention to be bound in the Storer case however there was no intention to be bound in the Gibson case, Poole (2012). This can be applied in the scenario here, the language must be objectively scrutinized as this may affect whether Gary was issuing a counter-offer or a mere request for further information. This is critical as a counter offer voids the original offer in its entirety and therefore it would be determined that there is no valid contract between Gary and…

The case facts are subject to a major ethical issue involving whether it is ethical to kill a man to save three. Some would argue that when given a situation where at least one person will die, we should try to save as many human lives as possible. Others should state that the value of human life is immeasurable. Who are we to decide if one life is equal to another?…
