There have been a significantly high number of proposed constitutional amendments since the document became operational on 15 February 1876 (Ericson).

Response to Walter Rumans

As Walter clearly brings out in his comment on comparative judicial systems, there are three major legal or criminal justice systems depending on whether it is civil or common law jurisdiction. These are the adversarial system mainly found in common law countries, the inquisitorial system commonly found in civil law jurisdictions and the popular or mixed system that combines aspects of the latter two. These different legal cultures indicate how our various justice systems work and operate differently. As pointed out, the adversarial system is the most shared and familiar one in which two parties to a legal dispute ...

Cooperation is an integral part of the judicial system which allows for proper allocation of resources, training of human resources, and empowerment of the legal system. This gives room for the efficiency of the judicial system in resolving conflicts. In case different parties are involved in a dispute, the participants will be more motivated to resolve the conflicts; incase cooperation exists between them. That is, even if there is failure of the disputing parties to come up with a satisfying resolution, having cooperation persuades them to compromise their interests in order to reach to an agreement faster ( ...

The Effectiveness of Pretrial Bail in Ensuring that Criminals are Held Accountable for Their Actions Abstract There is an increased concern over the rising costs of maintaining the correction facilities. Law breakers are held as they wait for their trials thus exerting more pressure on the already congested prison facilities.

Incarnation is preferred as the main form of punishment for the law breakers. The system has been in place since time in ...

Racism is a type of discrimination whereby people are subjected to different treatment basing on the connotation and social values attached to the color of their skin. According to Naber (2012), racism is not only limited to the color of the skin rather, the position of an individual in the social ladder is of great significance in dictating his status in the society. In the US to be precise, the acts of racism dates back to the time of slavery whereby the Africans were segregated in the south while the whites occupied the northern states.

Almost US, but still Latin America. This is the brief definition one can give to Puerto Rico. US is actively engaged in cooperation with the archipelago, but the chances that this area ever really become an integral part of the United States are still unclear. More so, it is a unique habitat with its own unique development system, including the judiciary. Puerto Rico is a dependent territory of the United States and has the status of "unincorporated organized territory”, which means that the area is under the control of the United States (and is not an integral part thereof), ...

Abstract

A plea bargain has defined the court proceedings in the recent history of the criminal justice system. As such, prosecutors and judges have adapted to the policy to carry on activities while practicing copping plea arrangements so as to reduce the number of pending cases and the pile that characterizes most of the district magistrates’ courts. On one side, the idea of a plea bargain has greatly enhanced the efficiency of the legal systems. This is because it has reduced the time for prosecutors to work on various trials as well as reducing the instances of overcrowding in jails ( ...

The United States judicial system offers certain protections for criminal suspects who are at risk of arrest or a search without a warrant. One of the most important safeguards afforded under the U.S. Constitution is the 4th amendment, which prevents government officials from illegally searching individuals or seizing property without following standard procedure. The concept has evolved over time, and the exclusionary rule is now the primary way to defend people from illegal search and seizure by government officials. However, history has shown that this is an ineffective solution because it allows those who would have been convicted to ...

According to Chambliss et al. (2010), the state is involved in organized crimes through collusion, evasion, corruption, and substitution. I tend to believe that through evasion, the perpetrators try to evade any legal connection. I believe through evasion, Individuals involved in state organized crimes attempt to distance themselves completely from the activities of the business and the state. For instance, I have witnessed individuals set up legitimate businesses that barely have a link to their names. The organizations then are placed in the frontline to launder money from the state. Such organizations are offered tenders to supply good or ...

Husbands went to the extent of even controlling all their earnings since women had no right to ownership of property. The woman’s place was in the home where she was expected to carry on with ...

Until 1839, opium was announced illegal in China, but later on, two very important wars were triggered over the drug. Wars have always been a symbol of unresolved issues, far from straightforward, and well worth pursuing to learn about the inconspicuous motives. ...

1. According to Thomas Pownall, the fact of escaping from the rule of the British monarch did not entail the actual release from the British reign. Actual functioning of the colonies was possible owing to the financing and legislative regulatory activities of the latter. Parliament was not entitled to enforce any commerce or trade regulations, as well as taxes were exacted for the benefit of the Crown. It is obvious that Thomas Pownall's notion of a sovereign state is founded on the existence of a unified supreme power, judicial system and ruler. In that line, the most appropriate solution ...

Introduction

According to the Human Rights Advocacy and the History of International Human Rights Standards, one of the earliest political wrangling in the area of human rights was the division of these rights into several categories: economic, community, and cultural rights. Nonetheless, the overall understanding is that rights, per se, must be understood as interdependent and indivisible. Under the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), there is no classification for rights; in addition, the accord does not aggressively set to establish an ordered rights regime. The universality of human rights is the ...

This is why the earliest form of capital punishment was mainly beheading or hanging. However there has been criticism regarding this form of punishment based on the philosophy that no ...

DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is often called the “blueprint of life.” That’s because almost every living organism on this planet, whether bacterium, plant, fungus, or animal contains some form of the molecule. The information contained in the DNA’s coding segments, called genes, determines whether the organism turns out to be a fish or a dandelion, a person or a chimp. It also creates the characteristics that make one individual similar to, but still different from, another. No two people’s DNA – even identical twins’ – is exactly alike (Ruff, 2002).

DNA is double-stranded. Two strands are linked together ...
