Texas Local and Government Control Video Historically, Texas has been pro-state’s rights. John Foster Dillon was the federal judge who emphasized the power of states over the powers of local governments. John Foster Dillon did not trust local governments because, during his time, a lot of the municipal governments were marred with corruption. For example, William M. Tweed appointed his close friends to critical political positions, and later on, they would contribute to the stealing of more than $45 million from the local taxpayers. Thirty-one states in the U.S use Dillon’s rule. The concept of the Home rule is that local governments, which are considered constituents of a state, are allowed to rule themselves as they deem fit as long as they obey state and federal laws and regulations. An excellent example is a city of Austin in Texas, which is a home rule city. The practical problem with Austin requiring fingerprint background checks for rideshare drivers is that this would discourage new drivers. Therefore, having very few drivers in Austin meant that one could easily get a ride to…

It is the practice of executing people for rectification for committing crime following a proper court proceeding. It is usually used as retribution for severe offences like murder, arson, treason and rape.

Furthermore, it is used in many countries around the globe following the ban of the death penalty.

Analysis of Manifesto 1956 Why did Southern lawmakers believe this Manifesto was necessary? According to the southern lawmakers, the Supreme court had abused its power and was meddling into issues of lawmaking. They felt that through its ruling, the court had negated previously established principles and was acting out of order. Therefore, states needed to come together to shield themselves from the advance of legislations that were ‘based on political standpoint.’ Manifesto (1956) explains that the Judiciary through the Brown ruling of 1954 had infringed on the fundamental rights of citizens and acted in disregard of the congress. They also felt that previous legislation that provided for separate but equal schools showed no inclination towards racial segregation thus did not affect anyone’s right to equality. The Manifesto was necessary to set the record clear and demonstrate the public point of view. Discuss the Southern Manifesto’s principle objective(s). The cardinal intention of the southern Manifesto was to achieve a reversal of the legislation that directed mandatory integration in public schools in all the states of America (Manifesto, 1956).

There is no authentic evidence that proves this to be true. Another legendary story is the “curse of Lake Lanier,” which involves a lake that people believe is haunted due to the number of lives it has claimed. There are several articles by different authors that support this theory, while others do not agree. Some reports suggest that the lives lost in lake Lanier was just an unfortunate accident and not because the lake is cursed. The legendary story is similar to the Bigfoot story in that in both stories; some people believe the legendary is real and those who think they are false. The two stories tend to show similarities when it comes to the pieces of evidence presented. Both the stories have no portion of unquestionable evidence to back up the several claims of different authors. Another similarity is the presence of fake evidence to back the stories. For instance, in the bigfoot story, the footprints seen were later discovered to be false similarly in the story of lake Lanier; it is found that the lake was built…
