    Is it constitutional to take away money from a person although it was gained for an interview with a publisher about one’s past crimes? Is it constitutional to take the money and give it to the victim of these past crimes? Does this or does not contradict the First Amendment which allows to express one’s mind freely with no discrimination concerning the context? The dispute over the Son of Sam law can be lead down to one question: whether speaking about crime is also a crime. Obviously, there could be two answers, one negative, and another one positive. According to the Son of Sam law, there is only one interpretation: if a…

    In assessing the author’s reflection on the case study, it can be realized that he has failed to cite specific examples from the case to support his arguments. He mostly uses some generalized circumstances, which may also be acceptable due to the limited word count requirements of the response. Overall, the author has justified the perspectives of Disney’s vulnerability from the communications standpoint. The biblical integration is also relevantly compared with the case, as the author uses the story of Jesus and his struggles against the oppositions.…

    Summary: The New York Times and the Washington Post both published classified government information in their newspapers, later referred to as the Pentagon Papers. The government warned these newspapers about making public any more information and sought a restraining order against the Times, which it received, and was also extended to the Washington Post. The newspapers, objecting to this ruling, appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals, which granted a writ of certiorari. The New York Times and the Washington Post wanted the previous ruling to be reversed because they felt that the freedom of the press guaranteed in the First Amendment allowed them to publish the Pentagon Papers without punishment from the government, argued William R. Glendon. The United States, however, argued that the restraining orders were necessary in order to keep important government information confidential.…

They were mistreated, neglected, and treated not as humans, but as property. In 1852, Dred Scott sued his current owner, Sanford, about him, no longer being a slave, but a free man (Oyez 1). In Article four of the Constitution, it states that any slave, who set foot in a free land, makes them a free man. This controversy led to the ruling of the state courts and in the end, came to the final word of the Supreme Court. Is he a slave or a free man?…
