Summary“A reapportionment plan that draws in persons, who may have very little in common but the color of their skin, bears an uncomfortable resemblance to political apartheid” (Rosenschein). Clearly, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor understood the weight of her decisions. With those words in mind, O’Connor along with the other eight Justices deliberated over the case of Hunt v. Cromartie. She delivered the aforementioned warning in the previous case of Shaw v. Hunt, which established the basis and background for this trial. The appellee in Hunt v. Comartie, Cromartie, and his lawyers argued that the state of North Carolina had engaged in racial gerrymandering. On the other hand, Governor Hunt and his team of lawyers insisted that the new district was an instance of political gerrymandering, a legal means to ensure their political party (Democrats) maintained a seat in the House of Representatives.
Table of Contents- Preceding Hunt v. Cromartie, the case of Shaw v. Hunt built the background for the trial.
- Trying to ensure an African-American voice again, the state of North Carolina and Governor Hunt found themselves on trial, again.
- However, Hunt's strongest defense was built upon color.
- Favoring Hunt in the case, the Supreme Court set major precedents regarding gerrymandering and affirmative action.
- The influential case of Hunt v. Cromartie set critical precedents regarding affirmative action and the practice of gerrymandering.

SummaryAuthority has always discriminated and has been prejudiced towards several different categories of people. Whether it’s ethnic group, gender, size, or sexual orientation there has been a history of unfair treatment. The world has come a long way into adapting and accepting the multicultural boom happening everywhere. Canada is trying very hard to please everyone in being fair to everyone, but it has not always been that way. Since the beginning of written human behavior, there has been homosexuality. The strongest sign of acceptance began in ancient Greece and Rome, before the 6th century. It is also a problematic term, as there is no word or phrase in Latin or Ancient Greek that has the exact same meaning as the modern concept of homosexuality.
Table of Contents- Since the beginning of written human behavior, there has been homosexuality.
- Public discrimination towards gays and lesbians.
- English common law first mentioned punishment (hanging) for homosexuality in 1290.
- An excuse to persecute homosexuals has always been very vague and transparent.
- Same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada on July 20th, 2005.
- Within Canada you cannot publicly discriminate.

SummaryThe Americans with Disability Act provides the unique opportunity to enhance self-determination, choice, and greater freedom for all men, women, and children with disabilities in the United States. The most significant movement was the black civil rights movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s. After the civil rights movement, slowly African Americans were obtaining their rights by law, and slowly getting enforcements of these newly acquired civil rights. After this movement there were still a many people who were denied their basic civil rights, largely because they were denied their status as citizens. For all intents and purposes of this research, a large group of underrepresented people who were being denied their civil rights were the disabled; the mentally retarded, the people with varying degrees of developmental disabilities and physical handicaps that prevented them from being able to voice their opinions and allowed them to be continuously oppressed by the law.

SummaryThroughout this course we have studied the relationship between one's embedded and deliberative theology. We understand this relationship to be cyclical in nature; when one's deliberative, or second order theology, is reflected upon it can have the effect of altering one's embedded or first order theology. The dynamic between these two concepts is simple enough to understand. Though, what lacks simplicity in this arrangement is the origins of the relationship altogether. In order for one to reflect upon their own embedded theology, there must actually be an embedded theology in the first place. The roots of this first order theology can and should be called into question. If in any instance one's embedded theology is based solely on familial or social pressures, then whenever second order theology inspires sincere reflection upon it the embedded theology will morph to such a degree that knowingly, or unknowingly, a conversion will occur.

SummaryDid you know that Canada has more guns per house than the United States? This is actually because Canada has a lot more hunting guns than the States, but they have more hand guns and more dangerous guns then we do. Gun Control in Canada has been a very controversial subject in the past few years for Canadians and also other countries around the world, like the United States. The first law passed involving Gun control was in 1892, when the Criminal Code of Canada required individuals to have a permit to carry a pistol. Canada has always had stricter gun control laws then the United States, and a lower criminal offence rate, but a higher suicide rate . This essay will focus on the history of gun control in Canada, smuggling of guns into Canada, gun control laws in Canada vs. the United States, recent gun control controversy, and events where guns were a major problem, like the Montreal Massacre, and the United States vs. Miller case.
Table of Contents- History of Gun Control in Canada.
- Smuggling of Guns.
- Gun Laws in Canada vs. America.
- Important Cases and Events.
- Conclusion.
- End Notes.

SummaryFingerprint identification is one of the most common and often used forensic tools worldwide. It has been used globally by government agencies for the past 100 years, outperforming DNA and all other systems combined to identify and catch criminals. Even so, there are limitations motivating scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory in NM to develop a unique new method using micro x-ray fluorescence (MXRF). When used in conjunction with conventional methods of detection, it has a potential to help expand the use of fingerprinting as a forensic investigation tool. My report provides an overview of fingerprint identification history and techniques, in clear, easy to understand layman’s terms.

SummaryOnce upon a time… or more accurately in the early 1930’s, marijuana was made illegal and renamed the ‘Devil’s Weed’. Whether or not there was a conspiracy to make hemp illegal by the government and the pulp paper industry is hard to say, but one thing is for certain, the strangling hold the government struggles and pretends to hold on the war on drugs, and more specifically marijuana is absurd. Not only does the government waste countless dollars convicting law abiding citizens for possessing and using marijuana, it also with holds the benefits the plant has for medicinal purposes, as well as looses out on the numerous amount of money it could gain by regulating cannabis in the same fashion that it regulates tobacco. While the use of any device for the purpose of partying is wrong, why should we treat marijuana differently from other common drugs that are not only legal, but taxed and accepted both socially and economically?

SummaryNo one knows exactly how many illegal immigrants are in this country. Estimates range from 4 to 12 million people. The largest group of undocumented immigrants is Mexicans. Thousands of Mexicans, some with families, cross the border illegally in search of work. Typically an illegal will stay in the United States about six months working a low paying temporary job and then head back to Mexico.
The job of stopping the flow of illegals over the border belongs to the U.S. Border patrol. When illegals are caught, they are not brought to trial, but are usually detained and then bused back to the border. They usually reattempt the journey within days. This is called Catch and release. In the mid 90’s the border patrol was beefed up near high population southern California cities and southern Arizona cities. This had the effect of slowing the tide of illegals but it is not known weather this slow was due to the increased border patrols or the recession of the economy. The events of 9/11 and the resulting War on Terror have brought the illegal immigrant issue to the foreground of many political debates. The USA patriot act of 2001 put the border patrol under the control of the department of homeland security and tripled the budget of the Canadian Border Patrol.

SummaryAlcohol, a cheap easy way for many young American adults to enjoy a society which has cast selective freedoms which they fight and die for right out the window. An issue which has plagued young adults since its surfacing in 1984 under President Regan, should the legal drinking age for all Americans be an issue for which states are left to regulate, or should the federal government force the restrictions on drinking age to twenty one? Certainly there is much information on this topic; after all it has been debated now for over twenty years. Should the legal drinking age be twenty one, so that we can protect our youth and prevent so many deaths which would occur due to drunk driving, or should the legal age be eighteen, since you can be tried as an adult, purchase tobacco produces, obtain and use a firearm with a license, and most importantly of all be allowed to decide who might be the leader of our nation. While both sides have validity in their arguments, it is however prevalent that I see it a preposterous statement that an ‘adult’ of our country should not be allowed to enjoy the spoils of an alcoholic beverage at their choice or disposal.
