The Pros And Cons Of The FTC

In the United States of America there are currently two prison systems in place; the Federal prison system, and the State prison system. Every state in the U.S. has its own Department of Corrections, which is tasked with handling crimes committed at the state level (Allen, 2017). The state where the crime occurred has jurisdiction over the individual that committed the crime. An individual, whom has committed a crime within a state’s jurisdiction that results in a long sentence, is sent to the state prison system in that particular state (Allen, 2017). A long sentence encompasses a period of time which exceeds a year, and a day; which is the length of time given to an individual convicted of a felony crime. An individual convicted of a misdemeanor crime which is accompanied by a sentencing length of less than a year, will serve their respective sentence in a jail. Once the individual has received their sentence, they will go through an initial classification process (Allen, Latessa, and Ponder, 2013). The purpose of the initial classification process is to identify the individual’s custody level, work assignment, and treatment. The initial classification process will differentiate between those individuals that present different security risks, and supervision concerns. Factors such as the individual’s current offense, escape potential and prior criminal history are factored in during the initial classification. Also, an individual’s background attributes, such as mental

The paper will serve as a historical background overview of how the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC) came into existence. The paper will also break down the key components for which the FTC covers, such as deceptive advertising, baiting and switching and consumer fraud. There will be examples

The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) was created in 1914. It was created to ensure that there were no businesses that were anticompetitive; meaning that there wasn’t one company or business that was creating a monopoly. The FTC has three main goals; they are to protect consumers, maintain competition, and advance performance. They protect the consumers by preventing fraud and making sure businesses are fair in the marketplace. They maintain competition by preventing companies from merging together and creating a monopoly. Finally, they advance performance by advancing the FTC’s performance through organizational, personal, and management excellence. The FTC is very beneficial, and although not everybody knows about it, as a consumer it helps with the economy of every American. Throughout the years since it was created, there has been more laws added that help keep businesses

In 2013, the thought of using filibusters to an advantage of a political party’s side in a legislative assembly was removed; therefore, it now takes a majority vote to decide on all Supreme Court nominees and executive appointments. The majority vote is being identified as the “nuclear option”. The ruling of filibuster was voted to be removed by the U.S. Senate, due to the fact that Democrats believed that Republicans unfairly abused filibuster in attempt to veto a nominee by the president (Richardson). Now that a president of the Republican party is in position, the tables have turned. Nevertheless, as the Republican party holds 52 senate seats, Democrats only holding 46, Republicans have the ability to virtually shut down the minority and

In the United States, The FTC (federal Trade Commission) has the authority to impose penalty against advertisers whom violate Federal Standards for truthful advertising. The FTC considers a message to be deceptive, if they include statements that are likely to mislead reasonable customers and the statements that are likely to mislead reasonable customers and the statements are an important part of purchasing decision. A failure to include important information are also considered deceptive. Also, the FTC also looks at so-called “implied claims,?” Claims that you don’t explicitly make but that can be inferred from what you do or don’t say.

The Federal Trade Commission is an independent agency of the U.S. government that was established in 1915 and charged with keeping American business competition free and fair. The FTC has no jurisdiction over banks and common carriers, which are under the supervision of other governmental agencies. It has five members, not more than three of whom may be members of the same political party, appointed by the President, with the consent of the Senate, for seven-year terms. The act was part of the program of President Wilson to check the growth of monopoly and preserve competition as an effective regulator of business.

Although the U. S. S. Constitution was originally built as a defense against pirates during the Barbary War, it is most famous for the three major battles that it won during the War of 1812. The first of these battles, which was fought against the British H. M. S. Guerriere, was where the Constitution earned the nickname “Old Ironsides.” The second battle was against the H. M. S. Java, a merchant ship bound for India. In the third battle, the Constitution contended with both the H. M. S. Cyane and the H. M. S Levant. All of these victories are owed, at least in part, to the ingenious manner in which Old Ironsides was built. The building style of the U. S. S. Constitution gave it significant advantages over the English frigates during the War of 1812 that enabled it to emerge victorious from decisive naval battles against such ships as the H. M. S. Guerriere and H. M. S. Java.

The implementation of the New Deal was a necessary, yet highly criticized, and controversial time in our nation's history. Its creation, by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, helped to resurrect a crumbling economy and put Americans back to work. However, like most things in life, there are always two sides to every story. This paper will explore both the pros and cons of FDR's, brainchild, the New Deal. In addition, it will argue that regardless of a positive or negative public opinion, there is no negating the fact that the New Deal was a pivotal movement and progressive step forward in our nation's history.

What is the FTC? The FTC stands for Federal Trade Commission. The Federal Trade Commission is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1914 to help prevent unfair business practices, deception, fair trade practices, and unfair competition. The FTC’s mission is to protect the consumers by enacting laws to ensure that businesses cannot cheat people out of money and keep businesses from being unethical and immoral. The FTC takes complaints about businesses and investigates them for fraud or unfair labor practices every year (Silbersack, 2013).

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was created in 1914 primarily as a way for the government to “trust bust” or apply regulations ensuring a free marketplace for U.S. consumers and business enterprises. In this regard, the FTC enforces antitrust viola- tions that could hamper consumer interests, as well as federal consumer protection laws against fraud, deception, and unfair business practices. The commission’s primary enforcement mechanism is the Bureau of Consumer Protection, which is divided into seven divisions: (1) enforcement, (2) advertising practices, (3) financial practices, (4) marketing practices, (5) planning and information, (6) consumer and business educa- tion programs, and (7) privacy and identity protection.21 As the federal

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has been in protecting consumer privacy on the internet by targeting deceptive and unfair trade practices since the act was establish in 1914( Halbert & Ingulli, 2012, p. 253). According to Halbert & Ingulli (2012) the FTC banned

Have you once heard that one candidate entered the race ,the election, without showing the people what he will do for them ? Of course not . Did you see one president of the United States refused congress decisions and veto them without taking the public opinion ? how can people oppose the president ? and how they change their minds about his work and performance ? all of this indicates that their is a magical tool used by the candidate to convince and persuade the people to support him and give him their votes and by the same tool the president express to the people his vision to alter or refuse the congress decisions and by the same logic people follow president actions to determine the way he/she is working to evaluate

In their article entitled “Supreme Court nominee Gorsuch says Trump’s attacks on judiciary are “demoralizing,” (Phillip, Barnes and O'Keefe) national political reporter for The Washington Post, Abby Phillip; editor and reporter for The Washington Post Robert Barnes; and congressional reporter for The Washington Post Ed O’Keefe, citing a statement given by Senator Richard Blumenthal, Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch indicated that he felt President Trump’s attacks on the federal judiciary were “’disheartening’ and ‘demoralizing’ to the independence of the federal courts.”

Throughout history, the Supreme Court has acted as the ruler of many economic, social, and political issues that arise nationally. The Supreme Court is given the task of deciding the outcome of controversial arguments. In fact, the Supreme Court is the top court out of all other jurisdictions. In summary, a case starts out at a local level at trial court. Then, if the defendant does not like the decision, they can appeal their case to the appellate court.

My congress bill was about having an open campus during lunch for Merrimack Valley High School’s 2018-2019 school year. This would mean that during lunches, you could leave campus to get food from a different restaurant or establishment. There would be a complicated sign out system to ensure that no students are skipping. If they were found skipping, there would be consequences. To make sure that the system we would be putting in place would work, we had to do research to back up our proposal.
