Facts: Gawley was a police officer who worked for Indiana University for several years. She sued the college because she noted sexual harassment by a higher-ranking officer than she was. She also sued because she felt she was part of a hostile work environment and that officers in her department retaliated against her for filing a complaint with the college. Her final argument was that there was spoliation of evidence. The district court found in favor of the employer. The case did not go to trial because the district court granted summary judgment. Summary judgment is used to avoid trials. The decision was made based on two key decisions made by the Supreme Court in other cases and that the university was able to establish an affirmative defense. The university “may assert an affirmative defense that examines the reasonableness of the employer’s and the target’s conduct” (Kaplin & Lee, 2014, p. 167). Gawley then appealed to the United State Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit. This case brief will outline the question, holding, reasoning, and significance of this case as it was decided by the United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

     In the following essay I will be talking about the disadvantages and advantages of partisan elections for state politics. I will also examine the last couple year’s election results and costs. Finally, I will discuss if partisanship made a difference in the vote, as well as if a judge should be decided by partisan vote. In the next couple paragraphs I will talk more specifically about these topics.

Election of 2000 gave us a Republican president who won only a minority of popular votes, a 50-50 Senate (which became a 50-49-1 Democratic Senate after Jeffords defection), and a House w/a narrow Republican majority

A key turning point in American politics was the election of 1980. It indicated the new electoral power of the suburbs. The success that Reagan had as a conservative would initiate a group of parties because liberals and conservatives would either leave politics or change party affiliations through 1980 's and 1990 's. The research shows this caused the 1980 election to be recalled as one of America 's best historical events.

United States Supreme Court voted on Worcester v. Georgia, 31 U.S. 515, was a case in which the United States nullified the conviction of Samuel Worcester and held that the Georgia criminal statute that prohibited non-Native Americans from being present on Native American lands without a license from the state was unconstitutional the President Jackson disagreed. S0, the Trail of Tears happened which was a series of forced relocation of Native American nations in the United States following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The removal included members of the Cherokee, Muscogee, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, from their ancestral homelands in the southeastern U.S. to an area west of the Mississippi River that had been designated as Indian Territory. On May 26, 1830,

Rather than campaigning independently in each district, Republican candidates chose to rally behind a single national program and message fronted by Georgia congressman Newt Gingrich. They alleged President Bill Clinton was

Most common elements of these native southerns who became republican were: Unionist background, lingering attachment to Whiggery, and a closely related attraction to the economic philosophy of the Rep party. Republicans also attracted number of urban and small town artisans and among southern's foreign born working men. Some unionists and former whigs would not consider joining the democratic party for any reasons. Some

They thought it would be impossible to try to get them on their side but they were pleasantly surprised. They found that most of their supporters were from Georgia.

But, where does that leave me? As a white living in black house and senate districts I have no chance in the race based politics within the Democratic Party. And as a progressive, I have no place in the Republican Party. Is my choice to sit back and let both sides screw up Georgia?

This book details the struggles concerning the elections of 1800. Ironically, I found many parallels with present day politics. The "Federalist" who believed in big government and central power in a sort of monarchical government against the 'republicans' or "anti-federalist" that where big supporters of the original intent of the Constitution, de-centralized government doing battle. This fits the narrative we see today where the two factions are "Big Government" Republicans and Democrats and the smaller government "republicans" (emphasis on the lowercase 'r') which has members of more "traditional" Democrats and Republicans.

I hypothesize that the industrialization and professionalization of the Southern economy led to a decrease in Democratic Party strength and an increase in Republican Party strength. I will test this general hypothesis by determining the relationship between the change from the old agrarian economy to a modern economy and Republican Party strength in the South. In sum, my hypothesis is as follows: There is a joint relationship between the decline of agriculture, which led to an increase in per capita income, and the increase in Republican Party strength in the

What is a Georgian? As a Floridian, the first word that pops into my mind (because it was all I heard my entire life in regards to the peach state) is “racist,” quickly followed by “good ole boy.” Having lived her for over five years, however, I don’t think that is a clear description in the least. While I certainly didn’t know the intricate histories that brought Georgia to the place it is now, I found it to be a much more integrated environment than my rural North Central Florida hometown. From “A Town” Atlanta to Savannah, I had never seen so much cultural and racial diversity as I have in Georgia – a state that I previously assumed was predominately full of white “good ole boys.” I began to wonder what gave Georgia its reputation of

With every state comes a specific and distinctive history of politics, and, more often than not, a brief understanding of the cultural changes that occurred throughout the years. Texas has one of the most interesting shifts: an almost clean-cut shift from a Democratic, or ‘blue’, state, to a Republican, or ‘red’, state, after nearly 100 years of Democratic dominance. This is comparable to the state of Virginia, which also saw Republican representation after Democratic dominance for nearly 50 years. However, where Texas remains mainly Republican today, Virginia is an accurate embodiment of a “two-party state”. With this being said, that doesn’t mean Texas will stay this way. While the Lone Star state still votes red and has Republican
