Chinese immigrants started to arrive in the United States in significant numbers in the late 1840s, specifically 1848, when the California gold rush began to make headlines.

older and they commit a felony and go to prison, depending on what state they’re is in, their right to vote may be suspended for a certain period of time or taken away completely. I don’t think it is fair how some states take away a felon’s right to vote once they get out of prison.

the mystery is to ask a though question, did our government breach the law? This approach inevitably leads to additional questions like the following, if they did break U.S. law, how many did they break and how many times? What is the extent or degree of the breach? Did they try and conceal their actions or did they simply make a mistake in which they didn’t realize a breach existed? In other words, were they breaking the law unwittingly? Answering these questions should greatly help our…

Introduction Henry II built the foundations of law as it sits today. Assize of Clarendon was an act that came in 1166 that transformed the English law. As trial jury was a way where evidence and inspection came before the punishment. Inquiry was my under oath by freemen. This shaped the new way of law in England.
