following the earlier bankruptcy and created dissent amongst the now scrutinized Cardinals. In further attempts to stave off bankruptcy Leo also amassed hundreds of thousands of ducats in new appointments. Further executions, betrayals and torture revealed the extent to which Leo would go to consolidate his power. He “ignored the indignation his methods caused and made no attempt to curtail his extravagance which laid the foundation for the widespread dissent that would…

positions: excellence lies in the acceptance by the players of their required role and acknowledgment that they are fulfilling their role as is best for themselves and the team as a whole, and any personal dissent towards individual roles will result in the failure of the team, and the knowledge that such dissent would do so. In keeping with this analogy, it is the coach who oversees the entirety of the operation, and it is he alone who strategizes and commands the team. The team trusts the…

On June 25, 2013, the Supreme Court ruled by a 5-4 vote in Shelby County v. Holder to strike down two main provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA). The first, Section 4(b), contained the coverage formula that determined which jurisdictions are subject to preclearance based on their histories of discrimination in voting.

Scott v. Sandford (1887) and criticized the majority opinion’s reliance on moral rather than constitutional grounds. Scalia’s dissent was characteristically strictly constructionist: He pointed out that the Fourteenth Amendment did not expressly forbid same-sex marriage bans, and that a same-sex marriage ban would not have been considered unconstitutional. Thomas’ dissent focused on the wrongful transmutation of the Due Process Clause from a protection of freedom from governmental infringement…

strip humanity of imagination. Just as the square root of minus one is not a discrete number, so imagination is not a discrete, ordered object.

As I-330 explains, there can be no final…

Bloody Sunday Research Analysis The Bloody Sunday protest and massacre was a perfect example of how opportunistic rebellions work by taking advantage of economic downturns and lack of strategic state leadership by inciting hope within the lower working class population, and implanting the potential for success in their minds despite the bloodshed that took place. As confirmed by the theorist Chenoweth, the poorly executed response to the original peaceful protest by the military lead to further…

conservative (it is improper to refer to a Supreme Court Judge with a political party like Republican), and he enjoyed a substantial amount of time with like-minded judges on the court. However, it is telling that several of his “significant” opinions are dissents in which other conservative Justices found it necessary to apply the proper constitutional standards with regard to what they viewed as unjust laws. It is a large exaggeration to call Justice Antonin Scalia one of the most significant…
