Due Process V. Crime Control Model
560 Words - 3 Pages.... evidence that is vital to the prosecution case is excluded because it was the fruit of a bad search. Criminals routinely claim they were not read their Miranda rights. When we read in our newspapers about these cases we scorn at the criminals and say such things as “ Our justice system has failed.”
Due process is the method, which is to be followed from when you arrest someone to when they are sentenced. From Miranda rights to the right of free council the steps must be followed in order to insure a fair trial for the accused. This process is well defined for everyone involved in the case. Although this process has steps that some may see as trivial, it must b ....

Prop. 209
408 Words - 2 Pages.... pamphlet)
Prop. 209 will generally prohibits discrimination or preferential
treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in
public employmnet, education, and contracting. A yes vote on this measure
means the elimination of affirmative action programs for women and
minorities that the government runs. It will save $125 million annually by
elemating programs that the state uses to inforce affirmative action.
These savings can be used for other, more constructive programs to help
elimate discrimination. Maybe other Propositions on the ballet can use the
extra funds. I think that ending affirmative action will be the right
thing to do. It end ....

Declaring English as the official language of the United States will resolve current issues and prevent problems in the future. The biggest and most obvious problem with speaking many different languages in one united country is communication. Many immigrants do not learn English at all. In fact, 213 different languages are spoken in the United States, and approximately 10 million U.S. residents do not speak fluent English (“English Only” 3). Some immigrants gradually pick up the language, but do not learn enough to bridge the communication gaps between th ....

Was Khruschev's Foreign Policy Successful?
847 Words - 4 Pages.... Relations with the west were further improved when the Soviet Union agreed in May 1955 to remove its forces from Austria and to permit the reunification and neutralisation of that country. In July Khrushchev and Nicolai Bulganin met with the American, French and British leaders in Geneva. The meeting yielded a few concrete results, but it did not provide an impetus for the policy Khrushchev was calling “peaceful co-existence”.

Abortion
818 Words - 3 Pages.... by scientists. Life does not begin at birth, conception, or anytime in between. Life is a perpetual process that has evolved since the first humans appeared on earth. It is meaningless to say that a fertilized egg is any more alive and conscious than an unfertilized one.
The real issue is the expendibility of human life. It would be difficult for one to argue that an unfertilized egg should be preserved as precious life. It would be equally difficult for someone to say that it is perfectly acceptable to kill an unborn baby that is fully developed and deliverable. The ethics debate lies somewhere in between. So when does an egg becomes something more. Scientifically speaki ....

Montesquieu’s greatest influence on the American constitution is his doctrines of separation of powers.
In Montesquieu’s doctrines, he discusses the three distinctive branches of government. The actual people in each of the branches should develop distinct ways of governing which will provide groups in society some form of accomodation in the government’s decision making roles. Checks and Balances is anot ....

The old Juvenile delinquency act states in section 38 "The care and custody and discipline of a juvenile delinquent shall approximate as nearly as maybe that which should be given by his parents, and... as far as practability every juvenile delinquent shall be treated, not as a criminal, but as a misguided and misdirected child . . . needing aid, encouragement, help and assistance."(Page 72) If a youth is close to the adult age of 18 years they could be transfered to the adult justice system.

Pro_choice Among Women
1616 Words - 6 Pages.... incurs pregnancy, then abortion is an alternate form of controlling the unwanted pregnancy. Abortion should stand as only the woman’s choice, never as a decision adverse to Pro-Life activists. Pro-Choice advocates seem to vindicate abortion, accepting that abortion is not considered a form of birth control, but merely a method of controlling the woman and fetus future. Women are the sole determinate persons in stating if they are capable of withholding a full term pregnancy. As an advocate of women’s right’s to Pro choice, I am extending my viewpoints to you in this proposition. Many people have their opinions on abortion, usually being one extreme or the other. ....
