The Sons of Liberty were a group of colonial protestors which issues a call for a boycott. Merchant communities were skeptical to participate unless everyone could mutually agree on terms and means to enforce the provisions. Pressure from the groups was quickly mounting, colonial legislatures empowered delegates to attend a Continental Congress where they would set up terms for a boycott.

C.) Impact of SOX ¡V The act has immediate and profound implications for the behavior and responsibilities of external auditors, management and the audit committee. Plus, even though nothing is explicitly required of internal auditors by SOX, the legislation will change their role within the firm. ¡§The act can be seen as an attempt to change the environment in which contracts are written and private behavior occurs.¡¨ (Linsley, 2003). The following three points of SOX are examples of the changes:
Early in World War 11, the United States devised a plan to allow the Lend-Lease Act to help the nations that were struggling while fighting the Axis powers. This allowed President Roosevelt to sell and lend war supplies to any country who were allies to the United States. Many countries had benefited from the Lend-Lease Act. The Lend Lease program was overall successful even though it was a controversial program that faced much opposition.
Also the Securities Acts of 1933 and 1934 rival the SOX act in its effects on public accounting, corporate governance, and financial disclosure.

I strongly support H.R. 1602 that will allow a nurse to object taking on more patients, without repercussion, when meeting the minimum nurse-to-patient ratio per unit per hospital’s approved staffing plan by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The NCLB Act has undoubtedly established a focus on testing and data like no other testing reform in recent history. Now with end of NCLB and the beginning of the ESSA era, it is very possible that more parents and students will stand by their right to opt-out of high-stakes/standardized testing. It is fairly common for public schools in every state to start administering standardized test by at least third grade and every year thereafter on through high school. Although the ESSA also requires that all schools and districts have a testing rate of 95% or higher (as NCLB did as well), the likelihood of any disciplinary actions or penalties coming from not meeting that threshold seem to be nonexistent. Proof of this was seen when New York State

In Ohio there are many problems that people come encounter with. Some of those issues may be minor while others are life threatening. Regardless if the issue is minor or major, people would like to see a change. One issue in particular that has become an important issue to the state of Ohio is the misunderstanding of an imitation firearm to an authentic one. To fix this problem, House Bill 16 was introduced to the committee to regulate imitation firearms. This bill is to protect those who are innocent and those who are in an authoritative position to not mistake it for an authentic one. In many cases imitation guns have been the cause of deaths, especially to younger children who are the ones that have it in possession. This is issue is not only a problem in the state of Ohio but all over the nation. It easy to mistaken the two guns, one real and the other fake. So in doing so, this bill that is currently still introduced to the committee should be taken into action and enrolled. However, with doing that can bring about some disadvantages, especially with big business and manufacturers that create these guns, but the argument of each citizen's life seems to be more in a reasonable favor.
Though great on paper the FORM act, has key limitations that if not address could lead to both less independence for the Federal Reserve and further economic consequences. A main and clear limitation of the FORM act, is that the nature it was developed from is political. No matter, how much or often individuals such as Huizenga want to advocate against that it is not political. There will be always be an underlying notion of a political agenda due to the nature that it was created on. As seen before through the history of the United States economy, when monetary policy is influence by underlying short term political pressures, economic collapse or crisis soon pursue. Take for example the Great inflation of 1970’s. The government pressured
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or SOX Act, was enacted on July 30, 2002. Since it was enacted that summer it has changed how the public business handle their accounting and auditing. The federal law was made coming off of a number of large corporations involved in scandals. For example a company like Enron was caught in accounting fraud in late 2001 when the company was using false financial statements. Once Enron was caught that had many lawsuits filed against them and had to file for bankruptcy. It was this scandal that played a big part in producing the Sarbanes-Oxley act in 2002.
