Executive privilege

Article III, Section I of the Constitution states, “The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court.” This excerpt from the Constitution proves the overwhelming authority and control that has been vested by the Constitution to the Supreme Court. Justices appointed to the Supreme Court, “shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour,” or in other words, for life. To have a group of individuals hold such power for the duration of their lives is unprecedented.…

Every four years there is race that many contestants are dying to win. The prize isn’t a gold medal, but rather securing the honor and privilege to serve the United States in the highest position available, the Presidency. Though the role is very coveted, it is a very demanding and stressful job that has many advantages, but also many obstacles associated to it. The president has a majority of personal responsibilities to look over, also while trying to take into account the wishes and needs of…

From the onset of the invasion of Australia in 1788, supported by the claim that Australia was uninhabited land, ‘Terra Nullius’, a ripple effect of disadvantage began which resulted in intergenerational discrepancies in the educational outcomes of Indigenous Australians. However, the unequal outcomes of Indigenous Australians were, and often still are, attributed to the belief of Indigenous Australians’ inherent inequality to Whites. This is despite the fact that the systems established in…

silence of about a minute, which actually seemed like 10, where it was evident that I was thinking of an answer for the question or of how to answer the question. Likewise, I had a difficult time appropriately defining terms like bigotry, white privilege, and institutional racism, just to name a few. I have to admit that there were quite a few questions that I was not able to answer. When it came to the ones that I answered I would definitely change some of them…

point: if Lauren does not accept the world of ‘reverse sexism’ that she says it will become, isn’t she accepting the fact that the very world we live in today does involve sexism? “White privilege is a dangerous myth, because it promotes racism and supremacy” Dangerous to whom? Is believing that white privilege exists dangerous to the boy murdered through police brutality for being black? Or is it dangerous to the Latino man who did not receive an interview due to his Hispanic name? Or maybe…

Often the most important themes in literature are developed in scenes in which a death or deaths take place. In the play Othello by William Shakespeare, the death of the character Desdemona serves as the climatic breaking point where pervasive racism and sexism can no longer exist without resulting in detrimental harm to the involved parties. It is Othello’s prideful hamartia that, combined with sexism, is the catalyst that ultimately destroys both his and Desdemona’s life. In Othello, the cast…

purpose behind the husband-wife privilege is to ensure either party does not damage the marital relationship. The physician-patient privilege first went into law in New York in 1828. The physician-client privilege is similar to the attorney-client privilege. Meaning, the physician cannot provide complete care for the patient unless he has the pertinent information. In order for this privilege to exist, the physician must be licensed. In Louisiana, physician-patient privilege only extends to…

Social injustice arises when equality treated unequally. Each time when someone cheats of what one deserve, there is injustice. Galsworthy has dealt with the theme of social injustice by portraying society as a sharply divided entity consisting of totally opposed classes. His The Skin Game deals with the theme of social injustice. A class struggle is in progress. But it is not between the rich and poor. The struggle is not based on economic inequality but on social inequality. The Skin Game…

In 1971, Donald Marshall Jr. was convicted of a murder that he did not commit. Donald Marshall was forced to spend ten years in jail until evidence finally cleared his name. After reading the Royal Commission on the Donald Marshall, Jr., written by Gregory Evans and Elusive Justice, Beyond the Marshall Inquiry written by Alex Denny et al, I am now familiar with the Donald Marshall case. The Royal Commission investigated the Donald Marshall case in-depth to find out how he was wrongfully…

Explain the idea of checks and balances. Give three examples of this idea in action. • Checks and balances is basically a safety measure that no branch of government can get too powerful than the other one. The way the federal government is set up with branches each powerful in their own way but each have equal levels of power. So like if the President wants to declare to war on another country he/she can’t without approval from Congress. Congress for example can pass a bill or law but it has…
