    Frances E.W. Harper (Judy Whipps) was a suffrage leader who represented the Negro Women. Harper was a lecturer and writer who opposed the idea of “only” white women have the right to vote. In 1891, Harper gave a speech to the National Council of women that called for equal rights to vote for African-American men and women. Harper stated in the speech that African-Americans were not dependent on the North and South but “members of the body politic who has a claim upon the nation for justice, simple justice.” Harper’s speech highlights some of the radical slurs and the divide between whites and Negros.…

    There are several factors to consider when contemplating a potential lawsuit or settlement. As a person who is not trained in the law, it is important to seek counsel before making any decisions. Counsel can provide professional guidance in a field that a victim may be unfamiliar with. To attempt to navigate though the legal system without professional help would be confusing and frustrating. There are alternatives to litigation that some people may not be aware of. A professional in the law can give guidance and perspective as to which is the best route to take.…

    The problem with this defense is that insanity in this particular essay is either examined from a legal angle or a psychoanalytical one which involves talking to people and having them take tests. There is however, no scientific proof confirming the causal relationship between mental illness and criminal behavior based on a deeper neurological working of the brain sciences. The psychiatrist finds his/herself in a double bind where with no clear medical definition of mental illness they must answer questions of legal insanity beliefs of human rationality, and free will instead of basing it on more concrete scientific facts.…

    The Blue Laws

    • 296 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Blue Laws were laws that were designed to enforce religious standards, especially those days that were designated as a day of worship or rest. The name was rumored to have come from the supposedly blue paper the laws were printed on, but since that was most likely false, historians have found that the name came the 17th century use of the word blue, which was a reference to the strict moral codes and those who observed them, as in blue-stocking. The blue laws were favored by some because they believed that Sunday should be a day dedicated to God, but others were against it, particularly religious people of other religions that did not use Sunday as a day of rest, such as Jews and Seventh-day Adventists. Non-religious people were also against these laws because without a belief in God, there was no reason to designate a day for Him. Most of the blue laws that existed at the time prohibited sale of merchandise, some or all of retail and business activity, recreational activities, and drinking. Some of these blue laws still can be seen around day, such as in some counties of Indiana, it is illegal to purchase alcohol at a store on a Sunday, and in Michigan, cars can only be sold on a Sunday in counties that have a population of less than 130,000. Some blue laws even date back to the Puritans of the 17th century, which prohibit grocery stores from being open on Thanksgiving and Christmas in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Even though people, particularly those that do not hold Sunday as the day of rest, are against these laws, the blue laws had and continue to have an affect on the world…

    American Law Vs Roman Law

    • 252 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Roman law is more important than Greek philosophy because roman law is a model for American laws today. The romans were successful partly because of their organizational skills. This allowed them to administer law effectively. They were also idealistic. They created a republic with a legislature, consuls, censors, praetors, tribunes, and a senate. The roman government had public works like roads and aqueducts. They even had laws that imitate our welfare today. Roman law created this idea of precedence. Like American courts today, if there is a case that is the same as one that happened years before it, it can cause a judge to rule in favor of one side because of precedence. The roman had laws or codes to keep order and attempt fairness, which…

    The United States is homeland for millions of immigrants who risk their lives for a better existence. In Jefferson’s words, it is a nation in which “All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that among them are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Our nation is a country in which equal opportunity if provided for those in search of a better life and our law is meant to apply evenly to citizens and non-citizens alike. However, throughout history and even in our present day, Congress has undermined this utopian goal by passing laws which some may consider unjust.…
