to the death of innocent people and cause a uproar in African American neighborhoods. These problems are undeniably geared towards bounties of race and leak into not upholding the values of human rights, how this can be achieved is by enforcing the law that treats people equal and gives everyone the same…

The United States Constitution was established on September 17th, 1787. It currently stands as one of the most influential documents in American history. One of its most powerful aspects are the laws of the land that have been created to form structure and equality. These rules and commandments are what shape national government and give a basis for political hearings. If any of these amendments were to be taken out and/or replaced, then it would change the whole makeup of government and freedom…

rational than the men. The law set forth by Creon to dishonor Polyneices’ body and to put to death whoever tried to bury him was a justified law in the mind of Aristotle because the law came about during a military expedition and so Creon could rightfully decide life or death for those involved. It was not necessary for this law to be just due to Antigone and Polyneices not being seen as equal in the city of Thebes so regardless of what other citizens believed about the law, Creon could justify…

Sweatshops are business establishments where employees work long hours under poor conditions for low wages; sometimes employees are underage and work 60-100 hours per week. Sweatshops are a major part of people’s lives who work in third world countries. Overlooking age requirements, work conditions, and correct compensation that we find acceptable, people who live and work there do not think sweatshops are wrong; for people in developing countries, sweatshops are their best way of surviving.…

Lifestyle statutes are laws that protect an employee 's lawful off-duty conduct. California, Colorado, New York, and North Dakota have lifestyle statutes that protect employees for any lawful activity off-duty. In addition, Connecticut protects employees ' off-duty speech. These statutes vary in their protection and the courts have interpreted these broad off-duty protection statutes differently with little precedent with respect to Facebook. In fact, the Supreme Court indicated that…

In criminal law it is understood that punishment is proportionate to the crime. If we impose a human rights framework within the criminal law, it is questionable whether any such punishment can be proportionate to crimes of such egregious nature. How can a proportionate response address such gross human right violations such as…

interest groups have become a well-organized entity who sole purpose is to affect the outcome of elections in their favor. In the attempt to keep judges accountable to various parties and their way of thinking and not within the U.S Constitution and the law, is what I believe is the foundation behind many political and financial pressures put upon our judges. With this being said, many American honestly believe that our judicial system already corrupt and its justices can be bought and some…

The Romans, as Agamben notes, where people that were very concerned with the law of works, which they feel they must defend. However, Paul enters the scene with his messianic theory and argues that this process would not abolish the law of works, but rather preserve and bring it to fulfillment through faith, giving them a reason more than harm to do the works. Agamben uses many international references to…

justices’ jurisprudence, or philosophy of law, is shaped by their political ideologies. This is not to say, however, that I believe that the two justices’ political ideologies affect their ability to come to objective decisions since ultimately, their most important task is to remain impartial. The two SCOTUS justices are on the opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. In addition to their opposite ideologies, the pair has two completely different philosophies of law and therefore, vary in…

The name of my group’s country is Marmicnicno, it simply represents the names of each of the founding members. While establishing the background of our country we decided that we wanted our citizens to have political, economic, and religious freedoms, but we also wanted to take a risk on a government system that is not commonly used. At the conclusion of that, our government of choice was an anarchist. While anarchy is typically defined as lack of government, Marmicnicno still has a system of…
