On the fourth of July in 1776 the United States became an independent nation. At that point in time, the foundation for a formal legal system was put into place. One of the oldest sources of law is the common law, which dates back to the colonial days. In the case of Davis v. Baugh, the common law rule was used in the first court trial. Common law refers back to precedent cases of similar disputes and assists the judge in making a decision after comparing both cases. Utilizing this ruling to resolve disputes in court is very helpful because it provides uniformity in court. This rule also provides an expectation of what the verdict will be based off the prior cases. Most importantly, common law allows the judge to remain neutral without the implication of personal bias on each case (Meiners, 2012, pp. 9-10).

Jones v. North Carolina Prisoners’ Union Court cases over time have come forth and altered the course of this country and even the world. While this case didn’t really affect the world, Jones v.

Hopkins v. Price-Waterhouse is a very detailed case, that features many aspects of the patriarchy, and lingering ways of thinking about gender that are hopefully being phased out of modern society.

We discussed the recent mob uprising and the state of unrest in the community. It was the judgment of all present that the life of the defendant, even if the wrong man, could not be saved; that an appeal would so inflame the public that the jail would be attacked and perhaps other prisoners executed by violence. In the opinion of all of us a case was presented where the defendant, now that he had been convicted by a jury, must die by the judgment of the law, or else, if his case were appealed, he would die by the act of the uprising of the people (Pfeifer, “United”).

My role as Allen Brookson is significant in the case of Brookson v. Carter because I was the first to be wrongfully attacked by Wendell Carter. My role will help to prove that Carter is guilty for various reasons, and why Allen Brookson and Fred Brookson should be offered compensations for both severe physical and posttraumatic stress. The physical injuries sustained were taken to the hospital that resulted in a detrimental medical expense and traumatic stress such has weight loss, chronic anxiety, and insomnia.

In the Carter of Rights and Freedoms section 7 states that everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right to not be deprived thereof except in accordance to the principles of fundamental justice (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,1982). In the cases of Rodrigues vs. Carter, Sue Rodrigues was a woman who was suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease. She was denied of her request for assisted suicide despite the fact that she was terminally ill and fully competent to make the decision for herself. The main premise for rejecting Rodriguez’s claim is derived from section 7 of the charter of rights and freedoms which is later counter argued by claims that the prohibition interfered with Rodriguez’s right to personal

This class of people includes some of those who actually paid the head tax during their immigration, but their spouses and relatives take a major role in this as well. The complainants, for retribution of this harm, wanted the money paid as head tax returned in interest, and for the reparations that caused pain and suffering, corruption of dignity
