American jurisdiction How many courts are in the Native American jurisdiction? The Native American jurisdiction has tribal court systems that are federally recognized as Indian tribes. The courts are independent but get their powers from the congress and have various cultural and linguistic groups. The Native American jurisdiction has five hundred and seventy-three tribal courts; three hundred and forty in forty-eight states with judicial systems, while the rest are from Alaska native village. What are the three fundamental differences between Native American courts and American courts? Native American courts rely on the tribe’s written and unwritten laws and policies. Thus each tribe has its way of dealing with a criminal offense. American courts, on the other hand, operate under constitutionally recognized regulations and will convict the offenders using the documented laws. The Native American courts follow the single standard and are less likely to record the policies used in the previous ruling. On the contrary, the American courts must follow a specific pattern and code the sections while making a ruling. For example, first-degree murder results in life imprisonment or…

Engineering Solution of Collecting and Storing Rainwater Underground Rainwater can be collected or harvested from the roofs of homes, greenhouses, garages, and other raise structures. That is only under a condition that there are gutters and a downpipe that joins the drain at ground level. Water butts with rainwater diverters are devised to fetch water from the downpipe. Moreover, the latter can also let the overflow enter the drain at the same time. A rainwater harvesting system comprises components of various stages – transporting rainwater through pipes or ducts, filtration, and storage in tanks for reuse or recharge (Kozubal 2019). Construction of the underground tank A number of the techniques used for constructing surface tanks can also be applicable for underground reservoirs. They are built in excavations with the soil being backfilled to surround the container once it is completed. In a situation of existence of such soil as clay or loess, it is more likely that the unlined sub-surface reservoirs are going to be constructed. Invariably these are prone to issues related to seepage evaporation and poor water quality…

Leaving policy issues to the states Leaving policy issues to the states has several advantages as well as disadvantages. The first advantage of this act is concerned with the laboratories of democracy. This means that leaving policy issues to the states increases their level of innovation and their ability to solve major problems by themselves. The second advantage is the fact that through this action, the notion of the state becomes closer to the people. The leaders become more accountable to their people because they understand them better. As far as the disadvantages of leaving policy issue to the states are concerned, there is the inequality between different states as some are rich while others are poor. The poor cannot deal with some issues appropriately as it is the case with well-established states. Secondly, it leads to a lack of protection to minority groups. Leaving policy issue to the state government, thus interferes with the uniformity maintained in the case of the federal government. In my opinion, essential policies such as education, health care and security should be managed by the…
