Fitts's law

In 1948 the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) set forth a declaration of universal human rights. The goal was to set a common standard of rights based on “recognition of the inherent dignity and equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family.” It was meant to become the perfect social contract but unfortunately was not upheld even by the signatory nations themselves. Many critics now looking back have cited the overreaching ideals as the downfall of the declaration but yet many

United States are to be given a fair and reasonable chance in court, that is what due process protects. In a book written by John V. Oath, it states, “In England, the great phrase "due process of law" failed to retain its vitality, instead the vague bounds of public opinion and the "rule of the law" had to be relied on to limit government power.

When asked why, he was told that by Florida State Law, the only time an attorney is appointed to the accused is when a person is charged with a capital offense. Gideon put together a defense as best he could, and represented himself during trial. As can be expected from a man with no law experience, he lost his case and was found guilty. He was sentenced to five years in prison, until he filed a habeas corpus petition;

I am in the dissenting opinion of this case. I agree with all of my fellow opinions that this law in question is absurd. I do not however agree that the evil qualities seen in the law makes it unconstitutional. I feel that this law is offensive just as Goldberg, Harlan, and White do. Dr. Buxton and Ms. Griswold merely expressed their opinions on contraceptives and practices and instructing how to use them.

proposition given by Senator Robert Hayne for states to have the right to nullify laws passed by Congress. Webster starts the speech off by affirming that what he understood Haynes stance to be concerning States Rights and Constitutionality was indeed correct. From Webster’s perspective he ascertained that Hayne believes that the states had the sovereign right to annul laws passed and approved by Congress if they considered the law to be unconstitutional. Then he goes on to counter Hayne’s belief by asking

Mayflower II With the crash landing of the Mayflower II in 2040 came a new era. Aboard the spaceship was a very diverse group of individuals. The Mayflower II had contact with Earth and they received the news that a rescue ship would come in a year. The original plan of research quickly changed to survival. Soon after the crash a secondary supply ship came with bad news. Things had changed and a rescue ship would not be launched anytime soon. This newly formed colony on mars consisted of 40 workers

criminals would oppose the law more aggressively. Criminals would openly do as they like, because they would no longer have the restriction from the law. Meaning without the law, the crime rate would escalate greatly. Yet in light of this importance, opponents (against capital punishment) offer their oppositional viewpoints. They combat what they consider the menace of social order. They question: whether or not capital punishment is lawful, or flawless. They contend, it is a law against justice and humanity

Euthanasia, the practice of medically terminating life in order to relieve pain and suffering of a patient, has been a complex and controversial topic since its conception. In ancient Greece and Rome attitudes toward active euthanasia, and suicide had tended to be tolerant. However, the rise of the Christian faith reinforced the views of the Hippocratic Oath, a swearing of ethical conduct historically taken by physicians. This shift concluded a medical consensus in opposition of euthanasia. Issues

marry one another goes against the Due Process Clause. “The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment also guarantees the right to same-sex couples to marry as the denial of that right would deny same-sex couples equal protection under the law.” (Whalen) Religious organizations have to adhere to the principals of same sex marriages. “The Constitution and judicial precedent clearly protect a right to marry and require states to

disobedience. Breaking the laws that England imposed on the colonies was the first step in a revolution that established a new form of representative democracy. Most of the great social changes that have come about over the 200+ years of our existence had its roots in the embracing of breaking a law of the land dutifully enacted by a legislative body. Civil disobedience is the deliberate disobeying of a law, or government directive prohibiting the action you are taking. Many laws established by both the
