ancillary relief, the courts have taken wide approaches to decide what would be the most appropriate financial ending of a marriage. To help judges make this decision, the courts consider the factors mentioned in section 25(2) of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. In the current law there are many approaches as to what the court can take to ensure that the objective of fairness is applied in each case; as a result of this, the rules in statute are not “mechanically applied”; leading to wide…

little of it is about the physicians faced with the decision of whether to do this procedure.’ In 43 years of legal abortion, feminist and legal progressive narratives have dominated analysis of American abortion providers. This paper argues that the 1973 Supreme Court Roe V. Wade ruling, which declared state laws banning abortion unconstitutional, was of little consequence to the emotional burden of abortion providers; internal conflicts regarding the lives of women and fetuses and ambivalence…

The War Powers Resolution Act of 1973 is said to have been passed by an “opportunistic” congress who took advantage of public opinion at a time of declining popularity for President Nixon, who was embroiled in the turmoil of the Vietnam War, Watergate, and several other high profile political gaffs (Crook, J., 2012, p. 157).

Carter was aware of the response of the OPEC countries ( consisting mostly of Arab nations), which announced an oil embargo that led to drastic upheaval in the economy, due to the American involvement in the 1973 Yom Kippur War (Stein 2). Such involvement almost led to a direct confrontation between two of the nuclear superpowers; the United States support for Israel and Soviet Union support for Arab coalition. In the winter of 1977, the then President of…

events that led to the creation of the oil embargo you need to look just a little further back into history. This will then explain how it all started, and how it deeply affected America and the American people.

However the things we put into place may look like it's needed. But the question is it for better or worse? In 1973 Chile was overflowing with economic, social, and political problems.

In the second half of the 20th century, Western oil companies were experiencing a time of enormous growth and prosperity. Exploration out into the Middle East had proven extremely successful, and oil was plentiful.

Consisting of mostly undeveloped arid lands at the time, these oil producers relied on moderately…
