The U.S. Supreme Court came to a decision not long ago about the proper application of the word “use.” Briefly, the case in point was about a man named John Angus Smith who traded a handgun for cocaine. The law under which Smith was charged provided for a much more severe penalty—known as an enhanced penalty—if a gun was used in a drug-related crime than if no gun was involved. (In this case, the enhanced penalty was a mandatory thirty-year sentence; the “unenhanced” penalty was five years.)

Justice Antonin Scalia argued that Smith’s penalty should not be enhanced because he did not use the gun in the way that the writers of the law had in mind; he did not use it as a gun. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor argued that the law requires only the use of a gun, not any particular kind of use. If you were a judge, would you vote with Scalia or with O’Connor? Construct an argument in support of your position.

What were the benefits of Rosa Parks?

Rosa Parks (1913—2005) helped initiate the civil rights movement in the United States when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955. Her actions inspired the leaders of the local Black community to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Answer:

Danny Duncan and David Dobrik both post hillarious stuff. HOWEVER, David is only so famous because he has funny friends that are down for almost anything and will drink everything. Danny is more funny HIMSELF.

So in my opinion, Danny is funnier but I would rather watch David's vlogs because of how much stuff happens in them.

Answer:

Consider Athens before public officials were paid. The only people who would be willing to perform public service were the those who could afford to be away from their farms for many days, and sometimes weeks at a time. Ancient Greece (like most pre-industrial societies) was intensely agrarian, and the vast majority of farmers had few or no slaves. Therefore, public offices would consist overwhelmingly of the wealthiest Athenians. Instituting payment would allow a citizen to serve on the Boule or as a Magistrate without having to worry about how he would feed his family, and thus opened those positions to all Athenian citizens regardless of wealth (in theory).

Another of Pericles' reforms was to institute pay for those serving on juries (Note that juries in Athens were very large, often several hundred people). Aside from the aforementioned benefits, paying juries also served as something of a social safety-net. Those who were elderly or disabled, and thus incapable of working on the farm, could sign up their names, and then each morning they might be selected to serve on the jury for one of that day's trials. Juries were selected in this manner to counteract bribery--it would be very difficult to bribe such a large number of people on such short notice.

Answer:

Hong Kong acted as a financial center that connected China and the rest of the world.

Explanation:

China imposed a strict government control over all aspect of its economy. This made a lot of companies from outside China felt reluctant to be involved in business with them.

In such cases, Hong kong can act as some sort of intermediary between the two.

Unlike China, Hong Kong is run with a free market system. This made a lot of business entities/investors all across the world feel more comfortable. So they can finish their financial transaction through hong kong and use it as a medium to transfer their goods in or out of China.

Answer: The Treaty of Peace and Amity between His Britannic Majesty and the United States of America is signed by British and American representatives at Ghent, Belgium, ending the War of 1812. By terms of the treaty, all conquered territory was to be returned, and commissions were planned to settle the boundary of the United States and Canada.

In June 1812, the United States declared war against Great Britain in reaction to three issues: the British economic blockade of France, the induction of thousands of neutral American seamen into the British Royal Navy against their will, and the British support of hostile Indian tribes along the Great Lakes frontier. A faction of Congress, made up mostly of western and southern congressmen, had been advocating the declaration of war for several years. These “War Hawks,” as they were known, hoped that war with Britain, which was preoccupied with its struggle against Napoleonic France, would result in U.S. territorial gains in Canada and British-protected Florida.

In the months following the U.S. declaration of war, American forces launched a three-point invasion of Canada, all of which were repulsed. At sea, however, the United States was more successful, and the USS Constitution and other American frigates won a series of victories over British warships. In 1813, American forces won several key victories in the Great Lakes region, but Britain regained control of the sea and blockaded the eastern seaboard.

In 1814, with the downfall of Napoleon, the British were able to allocate more military resources to the American war, and Washington, D.C., fell to the British in August. In Washington, British troops burned the White House, the Capitol, and other buildings in retaliation for the earlier burning of government buildings in Canada by U.S. soldiers. The British soon retreated, however, and Fort McHenry in Baltimore harbor withstood a massive British bombardment and inspired Francis Scott Key to pen the “Star-Spangled Banner.”

On September 11, 1814, the tide of the war turned when Thomas Macdonough’s American naval force won a decisive victory at the Battle of Plattsburg Bay on Lake Champlain. A large British army under Sir George Prevost was thus forced to abandon its invasion of the U.S. northeast and retreat to Canada. The American victory on Lake Champlain led to the conclusion of U.S.-British peace negotiations in Belgium, and on December 24, 1814, the Treaty of Ghent was signed, ending the war. Although the treaty said nothing about two of the key issues that started the war–the rights of neutral U.S. vessels and the impressment of U.S. sailors–it did open up the Great Lakes region to American expansion and was hailed as a diplomatic victory in the United States.

News of the treaty took almost two months to cross the Atlantic, and British forces were not informed of the end of hostilities in time to end their drive against the mouth of the Mississippi River. On January 8, 1815, a large British army attacked New Orleans and was decimated by an inferior American force under General Andrew Jackson in the most spectacular U.S. victory of the war. The American public heard of the Battle of New Orleans and the Treaty of Ghent at approximately the same time, fostering a greater sentiment of self-confidence and shared identity throughout the young republic.

Procedure:

Lower Courts: Bay County Circuit Court, Fourteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida

Lower Court Ruling: The trial judge denied Gideon’s request for a court-appointed attorney because, under Florida law, counsel could only be appointed for a poor defendant charged with a capital offense. The Florida Supreme Court agreed with the trial court and denied all relief.

Ruling:

Reversed and remanded. In its opinion, the Court unanimously overruled Betts v. Brady.

Argued: January 15, 1963

Decided: March 18, 1963

brosales4269 avatar

Reasoning:

The Court held that the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of counsel is a fundamental right essential to a fair trial and, as such, applies the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In overturning Betts, Justice Black stated that “reason and reflection require us to recognize that in our adversary system of criminal justice, any person haled into court, who is too poor to hire a lawyer, cannot be assured a fair trial unless counsel is provided for him.”
