    Connecticut V. Cardwell Case Study

    4)The case we read in class that I enjoyed the most was State of Connecticut v. Cardwell. I primarily liked it because it best exemplifies the difference and complexity regarding the sale of goods and the helps reflect the distinction between a “shipment” and “destination” contracts. I disagree with the trial courts judgment that Cardwell sold tickets within Connecticut and thereby violated Connecticut statute. However, I agree with the judgment of the court after the appeal. The transfer of goods occurred in Massachuestes, therefore the sale of the tickets, as defined by the code, occurred in Massachusts.…

    Gill v. Whitford is a Supreme court case that deals with political gerrymandering. A lower court ruled that the state's Republican-drawn map constitutes an "unconstitutional partisan gerrymander." The case involves district lines in Wisconsin that challengers say, “were drawn unconstitutionally to benefit Republicans.” The case could have a major impact on how district lines are drawn up nationwide.The court has said that too much partisanship in map drawing is illegal, but it has never said how much is too much. We were assigned to find out whether the gerrymandering in the case was justiciable or not. After 3 class periods of research and then some we have come to the conclusion that the political gerrymandering that happened in this case is not justiciable. It is not justiciable because gerrymandering isn't in the constitution, a very similar court case happened and it was not justiciable and lastly Insert: Mattie’s Argument (Shorter Form For Thesis Statement)…
