MISSOURI COMPROMISE Slow down while reading this one and THINK! Jefferson called the Missouri Compromise a “fire bell in the night.” As in a fire alarm, which wakes us and warns us, the danger is imminent. We see two different arguments in this reading. What are the moral arguments in this reading? What are the Constitutional arguments? What issues seemed to carry the most weight? From a moral perspective, Jefferson believes the Missouri compromise was a way for slaves to acquire a cultivated life with the benefits of civilization and science to offer retribution to them so that they are more good than evil. It is an opportunity for families in slavery to be under the patronage and protection of their masters but as free and independent people. Constitutionally, most states, especially the southern ones, had a majority of their populations as negro slaves, which means their economies relied almost entirely on slavery. The Missouri Compromise controlled the limits of slavery to the states with large slave numbers; it cut off slave trades to prevent new entries and to slowly…
Lemon Laws The American States has come up with a law that provides a solution to purchasers of commodities that do not meet quality and performance. The law, which is known as Lemon Law, provides for compensation to buyers with such issues (Beard & Ford, 2016). The paper focuses on explaining the importance of the Lemon Law works as well as how it works. There is a testimony where the Law Office of Darin Siefkes has solved a case where a couple had bought a car that developed steering issues in three months. The couple had visited the manufacturer several times with no positive feedback as the dealer kept asking for more time. After contacting the Darin for assistance, the car dealer agreed to make a full refund for the van and also pay for the couples’ attorney fees. Apart from cash compensation, such corporations help one to repurchase or replace a vehicle with defects at ease (Hunter, 2016). The consultation is free as the automotive dealers pay for it when found guilty. Important and valuable things learnt throughout the…
“Should the United States adopt a proportional representative system instead of the current ‘Winner’? Introduction American elections are based on the current ‘winner-take-all’ system that means that the voters for the candidates with the highest votes get representation while others get nothing. The principle is unnecessary and unjust and calls for electoral reforms to be made to correct the existing setbacks. The system is considered to be unfair as it leaves political and racial minorities underrepresented. This goes against the principle of democracy that promotes the representation of all individuals. Further, the system is unnecessary as there are immediate positions at the national, state and local levels that can be employed to join the democracies that have already used the proportional representation system. The proportional representation system should be applied in the US as it is built on the principle that voters with prevailing ideologies should win legislative positions in proportion to the share of the popular vote. Discussion The ‘winner-take-all’ system has been practiced in the US over the years. It has been observed to have three significant weaknesses,…

Without software, there would be no control over hardware, and hence they will not function at all. Software can either be pre-installed or could be installed later in the system through an external medium. Primary functions of Operating systems An operating system is a pre-installed software in the computer which manages the basic functions in a computer, controls the hardware and provides the user interface for the user. It also allows developers to develop applications by giving them a platform for it. Operating systems and applications Microsoft Excel, iTunes and Angry Birds are applications (Stephenson, & Renz, 2016). Windows and Android are operating systems.

It helps me in typing and modifying documents that can be stored on my computer. I also like Microsoft Excel, which allows me to…
MUSLIM AMERICANS EVENTS Question 1 The Lailat al Miraj is one of the most significant events in the Muslim calendar and continually celebrated to establish the different ways through which the community expresses their gratitude to Prophet Mohammed. The competition prepares the Muslim community to create a higher value for their religion. Even though the event is not yet, the preparations, I attended involved understanding how well the Muslims would pray as per the provisions of their prophet. An expression of how long the prophet walked from Mecca to the furthest mosque is a good indicator that gives rise to the community prayer pattern. From the event, I engaged the different ways through which one would continually pray as a community and as a way of maintaining their culture. I also learned that there is a continuous interaction between the ancient Muslim practices and the continued modern life as a way of creating an impact on the future generation. However, I met the different leaders in the Muslim community who are always at the forefront in establishing and preparing the…
