While studying the case R. v Hauser, it is clear to see why it is known to be one of the leading constitutional decisions in understanding the workings of Peace, order and good governments in relation to a power struggle of jurisdiction. The whole case surrounds the question on whether the Attorney General, or the Attorney General of Canada should have the power to control the prosecution under the Federal Narcotics Control Act. It is a battle for powers of jurisdiction in regards to the criminal code, and more so the Narcotics Control Act; (NCA), 1961. The Narcotics Act was once Canada’s national drug control statue prior to its repeal in 1996 where the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act took its place. The NCA upheld an international treaty which prohibited the production, and supply of specific drugs; normally narcotics, unless given a licence for specific…
In regards to the Dothard v. Rawlinson case the Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decision, affirmed that the height and weight requirement for employment violated Title Vll, which prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion (AAUW, n.d.). It was show that these requirements would exclude 41 percent of females in the nation, and could not show that these requirements were job related (Dothard v. Rawlinson, n.d.). This case stems from Dianne Rawlinson being denied a position as a correctional officer because she did not meet the height and weight requirements of 5 feet 2 inches and a minimum of 120 pounds (Dothard v. Rawlinson, n.d.). When viewed at from a perspective of what…
I am writing to you under the provisions of Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 93A, § 9, known as the Consumer Protection Act.

In the matter of Roper v. Simmons (2005), 17 year old Christopher Simmons and two accomplices had planned a murder in great detail and carried out the killing of victim Shirley Crook. In 1993, Simmons entered Crook’s home, robbed her, tied her up, and finally threw her off a bridge. The case had an overwhelming amount of evidence including a confession from Simmons, testimony from another accomplice in the planning of the murder, and a videotaped reenactment of the murder. At the age of 17, after a brief trial, Simmons was found guilty of the crimes and subsequently sentenced to death (Roper v. Simmons, n.d.). From prison, Simmons filed appeals to both state and federal courts, but with each, his sentence was upheld (Roper v. Simmons, n.d.).…
The Constitution has given the accused the rights to a fair trial,to assembly,petition,self defense, and to vote. The Constitution also says there will not be excess bail or fines and no cruel and unusual punishment such as the Roper v Simmons case. The trial took three years to resolve the person who was of 16 years of age at the beginning of the trial and once it was resolved was 18 would not be given the death penalty. So in the end the death penalty will not be put under the age of 18 even if they turn 18 by the end of the trial.…

There is a controversial issue in regards to whether or not the actions of Dr. S. and Dr. V. violated Stark Law. The Stark Law is a federal statute which imposing doctors and physicians are not allowed to referrer their patients to facilities in which they have affiliations with. This law was implemented based on the case of Dr. S. and Dr. V., in which they leased a nuclear camera to refrain from sending their patients to another center. I do believe that the actions of Dr. S. and Dr. V. were a violation of the Stark Law. One of the first violations of Dr. S. and Dr. V. was the decision to lease their own camera without taking inconsideration the impact it would have on the outside parties.…
To first assess the demands of the question and thereby determine how James Madison and I would decide the case of Lee v. Weisman, it is imperative to outline Madison’s primary and germane arguments in his “Remonstrance” and also explore the two prevailing yet competing judicial interpretations of the First Amendment. A rebuttal of Patrick Henry’s “A bill establishing a provision for Teachers of the Christian Religion,” Madison’s “Remonstrance” lists fifteen arguments and refutations of Henry’s bill to the Virginia state legislature, three of which neatly apply to Lee: 1) Man must render God in a way that is acceptable to him, not the state, 2) religious laws may not trespass on the rights of the minority and 3) religious laws may not inflict…
