Assignment 04 Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Assignment 04 Part A History of Capital Punishment in the United States Capital punishment is another word for the death penalty, the legal execution of a criminal. The word capital originates from the Latin word head (Constitutional Rights Foundation, 2012). In ancient times, the death penalty was carried out by beheading. However, such a form of execution has never happened in the United States. The U.S performs capital punishment either by poison gas, shooting, hanging, lethal injection, or electrocution. Currently, all states in the U.S practicing capital punishment use lethal injection (Constitutional Rights Foundation, 2012). However, they are free to use any of the other options apart from beheading. In America, the death penalty was practiced as early as in the 1600s. This form of punishment applied to even the slightest crimes, such as pickpocketing or stealing a bun in a shop (Constitutional Rights Foundation, 2012). However, in the 1700 and 1800, most states…

Federalism Can Solve the Abortion Fight Federalism has appeared to be a challenge to democracy in the US with the mixture in the system, causing conflicts between the national and state governments. A central government is always stronger as laws passed at the top are applied with less resistance from lower agencies. The US, however, faces a situation where states hold power to come up with policies that are not in line with the national government’s plans. Some of the policies may be a contradiction in different states. The abortion laws have, for a long time, been a case of contention with states coming up with laws that befit the interests of their residents. Federalism in the US has been accused of giving equal power to both the national and state governments. The states have been allowed to come up with policies that do not necessarily require the support of the national government. The national government has been forced to adhere to the policies developed by various states to avoid unnecessary conflicts. However, some policies may come out differently…
Taxation of International transactions Introduction Taxation refers to money collection from involuntary levies. It is a government function which is compulsory. It applies to individual incomes, capital gains and estate taxes. Taxation happens both domestically and internationally. In international taxation, tax levies are deducted in accordance with tax laws of different nations. The taxing procedure varies from one government to another. This makes it difficult to determine a general procedure that can be used to levy international taxes. Instead, the taxes are levied with respect to the measures of income generated from economic activities. For example, the net income presented by accounting transactions such as profits from gross incomes and gross margins (Charles and Robert 2011). Tax laws, impose income levies more on business enterprise than on individual earnings. The jurisdiction suggests that all business entities be taxed in a uniform manner for all types of income earned while individual levies are taxed with respect to the sources of income and the amount earned as well. Many tax laws pertaining enterprise taxation emphasis on double taxation where an enterprise is…
THE DEBATE ON AUSTRALIAN DAY Standardisation According to “change for our future”, Australia needs a unifying national day instead of the Australia day celebrated on January 26. This day may not be a representation of the Australian independence but rather a description of Australia’s dark history. The day represents British settlement which is irrelevant since Australia is comprised of people coming from different parts of the world. The article also reports that the day has lost its backing popularly and should therefore not be celebrated. The article “pride in Australia” reports an entirely different point of view. According to this article, Australians should take pride in the Australian day and preserve the traditions in celebrating it. The fight for change is only noise made by minorities using media for their advantages. The main aim for the battle for reform is a little conspiracy with a completely different agenda in mind. This fight for change aims to terminate the national day entirely and not to change it has argued. Australians should, therefore, stand for what is right for Australia. The debate…
COURAGE AS DEPICTED IN BOTH “THE ALCHEMIST” AND “KING LEAR” In most cases, literature by different authors has come into convergence in regard to how issues are tackled, and that’s one of the key factors which indicate its role in achieving the common goal of enlightening the common people through its role as a third eye. A typical example of literature convergence can be seen in the way the theme of courage has been tackled in both the William Shakespeare′s “King Lear” (Shakespeare) and Paul Coelho’s “The Alchemist” (Soni, 85). From the two books courage has been portrayed as the brave step which is taken by an individual amidst challenges and which empowers the person to face those challenges with an utmost integrity and to overcome them. What we learn from the two stories is that courage is realized after taking the first step and acknowledging the consequences of taking the courageous step. In Paul Coelho’s “The Alchemist” for instance, the boy’s heart is in fear because of the suffering to come as a consequence but by acknowledging the…
different theories of constitutional interpretation that members of the US Supreme Court have used to make judicial decisions There are several different theories of constitutional interpretation that members of the US Supreme Court have used to make judicial decisions. The two main theories are judicial restraint and judicial activism. Judicial restraint is the philosophy that justices* ought to interpret the Constitution as closely to the original language and original intent of the document as possible. Judicial activism is a philosophy that justices interpret the Constitution in the light of the modern times. Because justices on the US Supreme Court have the power of judicial review (the power to declare a law unconstitutional) and thereby may make decisions that affect the entire nation, justices frequently enter heated debate on the legitimacy of each interpretation philosophy. Moreover, it is not uncommon for one justice to accuse another of using a particular interpretation ″style″ simply to achieve a result they find politically favorable.* Judicial decisions are further complicated by the concept of precedent. Precedent is the idea that similar cases should be decided…
