Originalist vs. Living Constitution The originalist view and the living constituion view are two different ways that people view the Constitution and arguments for the right view have been going on for years now. Orginalism is the view that people should interpret the Constitution by its original meaning. This “meaning” is the meaning that the original founders of the Constitution intended it to be.

In this essay, I will explore the conflicts that prevailed between the Athenian aristocracy, citizens who controlled most of society’s land and therefore wealth, and its peasantry, those who owned no land and lacked social mobility; the proliferation of blood feuds between different aristocratic factions; and the impact of Solon’s reform on Athenian society. As a principle source, I will refer to Plutarch’s “The Rise and Fall of Athens: Nine Greek Lives.” Part I In this first part of the essay, I will examine the strife between the two primary classes in Athens during the time of Solon: aristocrats and peasants. As stated above, to be considered an aristocrat one had to be in possession of significant property, primarily land, and animals. There were two types of peasants: one owned some land (albeit this land tended to be unfertile), and the other peasant owned no land and grew crops on land lent to them in exchange for a sixth of their harvest. Peasants who did own their own lands did not have enough resources to keep some seed of their crop and continuously had to borrow seed from the rich, but without any property or material good they had to use their own freedom as collateral nd become debt slaves if they defaulted on their loans.

The CIA equipped and trained more then 400 men fight under the command of Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas, and these men were also used for propaganda campaigns. They even created a Voice of Liberation radio station which would inform its listeners how the government is disloyal and can’t be trusted. The operation successfully ended leading Arbenz's to resign from office. The "Ten Years of Spring," is referred to the decade of dramatic social, economic, and political change that had occurred in Guatemala. This question has been asked many times “Why Do We Fight?” I honestly don’t think there is one single answer to this question because every single fight has its own reason and why it has occurred.
He used his earned fame to gather a group of supporters, seized the Acropolis, and attempted to make himself tyrant of Athens. The attempt was a complete failure and ended with Cylon and his party hiding by the statue of Athene, surrounded by an angry mob. Lured out by promises of their own safety, Cylon and his men were killed by members of the aristocratic family called the Alcmeonidae (see Paus. 1.40.1; Paus. 1.28.1; Paus.
The presiding judge during trial found out that Apprendi fired shots to a neighboring house as threats to leave the neighborhood. As the judge’s final decision and consideration of Apprendi’s actions to be a hate crime gave the judge notion of a severe sentence in prison.

Sumerians developed the first set of codified laws under the rule of the Babylonian king Hammurabi. These set of laws were focused on the punishment of certain crimes with different rigorousness depending on the nature of the violation itself. The laws of Hammurabi can be summarized by their famous quote, “an eye for an
The trial judge looks for evidence that the defendant acted intentionally, outrageously, recklessly or with conscious disregard for the rights of others. Such conduct is generally deemed sufficiently egregious to warrant the imposition of punitive damages. If the facts can support such a finding, the punitive damage issue is allowed to go to the jury.' Once the question has been submitted to the jury, the generally accepted rule is that the jury, in its sole, unfettered discretion, determines whether to award punitive damages and in what amount.' "It is the long settled and uniformly adhered to rule in our jurisprudence that the amount of punitory or exemplary damages is solely within the discretion of the jury, and, no matter what the sum of their * Professor of Law, Marquette University Law School, Milwaukee, WI.
