Term Papers on Legal and Government
One Man, One Vote?
Number of words: 652 - Number of pages: 3.... want to vote because they would have a
bigger say in who gets elected. It would be very hard to decide who know what
about the running candidates and issues that are being addressed. They would
have to give some kind of multiple-choice question test that you had to fill out
while voting. It would take a long time for each person to vote and I think that
would make people less encouraged to come and vote. Since the only way to link a
vote with a test is to have them on the same paper the voters would have to take
a test every time they voted. Most people .....

most common reason. A desperate financial need is usually the cause of most
frauds. Still some people commit fraud to pay for an elevated life style which
other wise they could not afford. Needs arise from a number of locations these
include: Drug or alcohol addiction, Marriage break-ups and/of extravagant love

Child Abuse
Number of words: 1658 - Number of pages: 7.... face for his first day at a new school. I immediately reported the incident to my chain of command, wrote up my observations, then had to wait patiently to see what would happen. The result - nothing. Child Protective Services said the report was not submitted within 24 hours, so they couldn't do anything. We had another case that we reported just two weeks ago to Child Protective Services. Another five- year old was involved. The teacher noticed a bite mark on his cheek. She asked him what happened, and he responded "my dad bit me." The teacher asked him if his .....

Religious Freedom Restoration Act
Number of words: 1872 - Number of pages: 7.... that ‘Congress shall make no law...prohibiting the
free exercise of religion'.”(Questions and Answers, Map of the RFRA). According
to Justice Scalia, “if prohibiting the exercise of religion was merely the
incidental effect of a generally applicable and otherwise valid provision, the
First Amendment was not offended.” (Questions and Answers, Map of the RFRA).
Thus,
"...the government no longer had to justify most burdens on religious exercise.
The free exercise clause offered protection only if a particular religious
practice was singled out for discriminato .....

Judicial Choices
Number of words: 946 - Number of pages: 4.... to find new methods of furthering its
agenda. Prior to the 1960s, the Democratic party maintained control of the
electorate with an overwhelming percentage.1 The New Deal produced interest
from a "mass constituency" for the Democratic party because of the social
programs. Many white southern democrats became republicans because of the
increased number of blacks in the Democratic party. Many white union members
and Catholics also left the party because they no longer thought of themselves
as the working middle class. "The disorder in the party produced among o .....

The New Initiatives Of George W. Bush
Number of words: 1183 - Number of pages: 5.... (The True Goal of Education, 1), that is precisely what Bush’s
optimism demands, an arrangement powerful enough to postulate proven
achievement in return for appropriation. A few illustrations of the
appropriations Bush is proposing are: Establishing a $500 million incentive
fund to reward states for improving student performance (making federal
funds to states and local districts more flexible in return for greater
accountability and improved student achievement), and supporting expansive
education savings accounts for parents to increase their annual
contribut .....

To What Extent Is Canada’s Election System/Process Democratic?
Number of words: 466 - Number of pages: 2.... has to pay a $1000 deposit, if he/she has over 15 per cent of the votes, he/she can get the deposit back. If he/she doesn’t have 15 per cent of the votes, his/her $1000 deposit is gone.
· Boardcasters play an important role in election. The Boardcasters have the power to determine which political parties to get shut out or not.
· A party who has 42 per cent of the votes only has the second most seats in the legislature. Meanwhile, a party who has 39 per cent of the popular vote, formed the major government. This is not a sign of democratic.

Legalization Of Marijuana
Number of words: 1174 - Number of pages: 5.... makes
it a crime to be in possession of marijuana. In New York State,
possession of under four ounces of marijuana is a violation, and is
punishable by only a ticket, and possible probation. Possession of four
ounces or more can result in jail time.
One argument in favor of legalizing marijuana is its potential use
as medicine. Many of the effects marijuana has on the mind and body are
helpful in fighting several diseases. Marijuana has often been used to
help cancer patients ease the pain of chemotherapy. It is also used
against AIDS. Many AIDS pat .....
