The drug cartels have engaged in wrongful acts intended to instill fear, promote corruption, and subvert democratic governance by undercutting confidence in government. Over the past centuries, Mexico has come into the power of other countries like the Spanish and the French rule until they were thrown out in 1867 (Knowles, 2008, p.74). That power would eventually pass to a political party called the PRI that stabilize Mexico during the last decades, but it would then go downhill from there…

The elements of the relevant prohibitions and their application to this scenario are outlined in my response to Q3. In the movie, the FBI was shown to have a wide range of investigative powers, which…

During the years of 1865-1900 that concept was very much detoured from. The principals of laissez faire in document B states that "the government who governs least, governs best." It is clear that during these years the government violated the principals of laissez faire 1865-1900 is a large part of American…

What is the major issue with collegiate sports? Most Americans would condemn college athletes for the negative connotations that people associate with college sports. However, the real issue is the NCAA circumventing any charges for the illegal trusts they have developed.

The late 19th century is famous for large trusts dominating market power, such as John D Rockefeller’s oil and JPMorgan’s railroads. Even before Teddy Roosevelt could enforce his trust-busting leadership, the courts were determined to limit the power of huge corporations. These events took place just as professional baseball was at its inception. The Sherman Antitrust Act theoretically should have limited MLB as a monopoly. However, through court decisions, MLB was given immunity from antitrust…
