In 1944 while enrolled at Virginia polytechnic institute, Christy Brzonkala alleged that Antonio Morrison and James Crawford sexually assaulted her. Both male students were varsity football players.

Charter Case Analysis Censorship: Little Sisters vs. Canada Little Sisters vs. Canada was a case that involved a bookstore in Vancouver that serves to mainly gay and lesbian clients. Little Sisters fought against the unfair, discriminatory treatment from Canada Customs. For years, Canada Customs had repeatedly confiscated books and magazines being shipped to Little Sisters from the United States because they deemed them “obscene”. The items were often seized, detained and then prohibited although they had previously been approved for shipment to either Little Sisters or other bookstores and many “obscene” pieces could be found in the Public Library.
One of the very first trails that would gravely expand the powers of Congress through one single clause, the Commerce Clause, would have to be the Gibbons vs. Ogden case, which took place in circa 1824. The dispute began due to the fact that the state of New York gave Aaron Ogden a state license that allowed him to operate his steamboat ferries between New Jersey and New York. Conflicts emerged, since Thomas Gibbons, who received his license from the federal government, also operated his ferries along the same route. Both men believed that their own license was superior to the other. This dispute then made its way to the Supreme Court.
The orders in council, Gibbons v. Ogden, the “corrupt bargain,” and the Jacksonian Democracy all involved the “common people” of America. First of all, the orders in council was passed by Great Britain in 1807. This permitted the imprisonment of sailors and forbade neutral ships from visiting ports. Great Britain wanted America to stop all trade with France since they were the enemy at the time. This was not supported by the middle and lower class Americans.
Business Law Case Study Essay: Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, 573 U.S (2014) Facts: The Green family runs and owns Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., a national arts and skills chain that has over 500 stores and they have over 13,000 employees. Other facts of the case are that the Green family has been able to organize the business around the values of the Christian faith and has explicitly expressed the desire to run the company as told by Biblical principles, one of which is the belief that the utilization of contraception is wicked. Also, the facts show that under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), occupation -founded group health care plans must offer certain sorts of preventative care, for example, FDA-accepted contraceptive approaches.
I Introduction In McCloy v New South Wales, the High Court upheld the validity of provisions in the Electoral Funding, Expenditure and Disclosures Act 1981 (NSW) that imposes caps on political donations, prohibits donations from property developers and restricts indirect campaign contributions in New South Wales. The majority did so on the grounds that whilst each of the provisions burdened the implied freedom of political communication, they had been enacted for legitimate purposes and hence, did not impermissibly infringe upon the implications within the Commonwealth Constitution.
In the aftermath of the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. The order was a “protection against espionage and against sabotage to national defense material, national defense premises, and national defense utilities.” The order also allowed for military commanders to define military areas at their discretion. Congress also passed a law in conjunction with the order to penalize anyone who violated the imposed restrictions.

I believe Justice O’Connor’s plurality opinion of Jennifer Troxel et vir. V. Tommie Granville (802-803) was an example of a “good opinion.” The piece was both well-written and backed by appropriate precedent; O’Connor cited Meyer and Stanley v. Illinois, supra, observing, “[The] interest of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children [is] perhaps the oldest of the fundamental [due process] liberty interests recognized by this Court” (802). He additionally emphasized that the Court had not found Granville an unfit mother, nor had the Troxels accused her of being one when the case began. I find the majority opinion of Robin Joy Shahar v. Michael Bowers to be an example of a “bad opinion” for several reasons.
When trying to support my argument about legal doctrines being shaped by race during this time period the case of Korematsu v. United States has to be talked about. At the beginning of WWII President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, giving the U.S. military the right to ban thousands of Japanese-American citizens from areas thought of as critical to homeland security. Thus, setting up ‘interment camps’ to hold the Japanese for the duration of the war. Mr. Korematsu did not follow suit and decided to stay home in the state of California. The upholding of Korematsu’s conviction by the Supreme Court showed not only how threatened the country felt about Japanese immigrants but also put into question how equal everyone truly was in America.
In the documentary Making a Murder, Brendan Dassey, nephew of Stephen Avery, gave a testimony that implicated himself and Avery in the murder of Teresa Halback (Demos, Ricciardi, 2015). Among one of the many issues presented within the documentary was the treatment that Dassey received. Dassey had an IQ of 70 and was taking special education classes (Demos, Ricciardi, 2015). Dassey’s IQ was lower than average but almost on the edge of intellectual disability (Dassey v Dittman, 2016, p.5). After giving the confession, he asked if he would be able to get back to class by a certain time to turn in a project (Demos, Ricciardi, 2015).
Brown v. Board was one case comprised of four other cases, Briggs v. Elliot, Belton v. Gebhart, Bolling v. Sharpe, and Davis v. Prince Edward County. Briggs v. Elliot Harry Briggs lived in Clarendon County, South Carolina with his wife and five children. He, as well as many other black families sued the school district because of the conditions of the schools they were forced to send their children (Ogletree 4).
The document does describe the disabled Canadian students with words such as “retarded”, which is considered a “dated” and “offensive” word when describing an individual in contemporary society, according to Oxford Dictionary. To be more specific, in Chapter Fifteen and section thirty, the document states that “The more the child is retarded mentally, the more he requires to be taught specifically and concretely, and the less capable he is of thinking imaginatively or abstractly.” With this quote, it is easy to see that the government only thought of the “special needs” students as less human than the able children; the government was under the influence that disabled kids could not critically think like other students. In the document, chapter fifteen is completely based on students with exceptionalities and is even titled “Exceptional Children.” A casual reader could easily mistake this chapter as a honest attempt made by the Ontario and Canadian government, but, as mentioned before, treating the students like unimaginative, inanimate objects will only worsen the situation for them, and the government was simply not trying in the 1950s.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia during my 10th grade as I was slow in learning and writing. I was provided with accommodations for my 10th and 12th grade Board examination by the Central Board of Secondary Education. However, I did not use accommodations during my undergraduate study in MBBS and I had progressively improved in my scores and writing speed with the help of peers and teaching faculty and my own perseverance. With how far I have progressed scholastically, I strongly believe I can independently perform tasks without any aid.
