Varsity Brands designs plus fabricates clothing plus accessories expressly to be used in many athletic undertakings, comprising cheerleading. Varsity Brands acknowledged patent registration for the dual dimensional sculpture at the subject in this incident, which were analogous to the ones publicized by the Star Athletica (Shipley, 2018). The subordinate law courts distressed as to if the design of the sculpture might be alienated as of the serviceable purpose of the uniform deliberately to be appropriate for the patent. The United States Supreme Law court apprehended that the design which had been used by the Varsity Brands can be acknowledged discretely, hence inferring that these designs can occur autonomously of the cheerleading uniform, and therefore being suitable for the patent.

Different characters are used to develop the plot in various ways. Some of the characters advance given courses or support certain ideologies while others oppose the ideologies. In his work, “Bartleby, the Scrivener,” Herman Melville does not overtly present the protagonist and the real antagonist in his work. However, we can still deduce who plays the role of the protagonist or antagonist based on the behavior and actions they perform in the story. In this case, the narrator can be considered the protagonist in a more conventional way. Firstly, he is the character that the readers know best as they can identify with him and even see the story through his eyes. The narrator is also most accessible and essentially the human character in the story. He is not an alien like Bartleby and other clerks.

All for Nothing  More often than not, we are usually in search of a hero to get us out of a horrid situation physically, emotionally, or spiritually. It is human nature to seek comfort or an escape to a place of peace. However, life has a different view on how things run. Reality is sometimes harsh and unbearable for a majority. This fact explains why people constantly fall into a depression to the extent of having suicidal tendencies, it explains why people give up hope. Despite the constant challenges to which we are exposed, there is literature. This is a category in art that has opened people more to the nature of the world. It is a space through which people relate more to their situations and find a way to handle their issues once they are in a fix. The most respectable element of literature is its capacity to communicate issues that affect the community even when the content is pure non-fiction. The book “All for Nothing” by Walter Kempowski is one of the most popular pieces of literature.…

Alien and Sedition Acts             Notably, the Alien and Sedition Acts violate the freedoms stipulated under the First Amendment. The Aliens and Sedition Acts were intended to bar people from criticizing the Federalist government and assembling for the purpose of opposing the administration (Yale Law School, n.d.). Moreover, the legislation muzzled the freedom of the press by prohibiting them from publishing any material that was against the government (Yale Law School, n.d.). The passage of the new law triggered widespread outcry to the point that Jefferson described them as a “reign of witches” (Foner, 2017). Eighteen persons encompassing various editors of Republican newspapers were prosecuted based on the Sedition Act. Ten people were sentenced to jail for spreading “false and malicious” content concerning the government (Foner, 2017). In addition, Mathew Lyon, who was a member of Congress from Vermont, and an editor of a Republican-inclined media outlet, was imprisoned for four months and fined 1000 US dollars (Foner, 2017). Moreover, the Alien and Sedition Acts permitted the executive to expel any foreign national who was considered a threat to the…

The constitution formulates diverse legal articulations to ensure that citizens are protected against breaches of their reserved rights. Legal practitioners, such as judges, prosecutors, and lawyers, are guided by such legal frameworks when making legal presentations or rulings associated with citizens’ reserved rights.
