.... was, while praying, beaten by a white man. After the film, the group moved outside and Mitchell asked if they felt "hyped up to move on some white people". When the white boy approached Mitchell said, "You all want to fuck somebody up? There goes a white boy, Go get him." The boy was left unconscious, and remained in a coma for four days. Mitchell was convicted of aggravated battery, which carries a two year maximum sentence. The Wisconsin jury, however, found that because Mitchell selected his victim based on race, the penalty enhancement law allowed Mitchell to be sentenced to up to seven years. The jury sentenced Mitchell to four years, twice the maximum for the cr ....

.... a man who can command the support of majority of the members of the House of Commons. Such a man is normally the leader of the largest party in the House. Where two are rivals in a three party contest such as those which occurred in the 1920s he is usually selected from the party which wins the greatest number of seats. The Prime Minister is assumed to be the choice of his party and nowadays, so far as he can be ascertained, participation of a monarch is a pure formality. Anyone suggested for this highest political office obviously has to be a very smart and willing individual, in fact it has been suggested that he be an "uncommon man of common opinions"(Douglas V. Ve ....

.... in order for any form of democracy to function, Representative Democracy is the superior form of political rule. Jean Jacques Rousseau is considered by many to be the `Grandfather' of direct the democracy theory. Rousseau's ideal society would be where the citizens were directly involved in the creation of the laws which are to govern their lives. He maintained that, "all citizens should meet together and decide what is best for the community and enact the appropriate laws.

.... or corporate activity) and the tax can be passed on to the consumer indirectly. An “indirect” tax must be first imposed to be valid. It is basically a privilege tax, it is on something you do. If we look at two court cases Pollock vs Farmer’s Land and Trust it was forbidden to lay direct taxes without apportionments (Mann 139). Another case proved that direct taxes must bear immediately upon persons, possessions, and enjoyment of right. Indirect taxes are levied upon the happening of an event or an exchange (Dodge 88).

If he stated something that would hurt his case or not say something that would help it he could have lost and the decision would not be have been overturned. The NAACP also played a large part in the case because they provided funding for the many cases leading up to the brown case and for the brown case itself. Kenneth Clark also had a large role in the case with his doll experiment. This experiment had four dolls, two female and two males, with one black male and one white male.

.... the door for Chines immigrants. It was followed by Quota Act of 1921 and Immigration Act of 1924 which restricted immigration from southern and eastern Europe. Finally, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 restricted the number of immigrants from every nation. Today, as the United States experience "the fourth wave" of immigration, the debate about what to do about it heats up. According to Linda Chavez, "In 1993 […],over 800,000 legal immigrants were admitted to the United States and an estimated 300,000 illegal aliens settled here, more or less permanently.
