Addressing International Legal and Ethical Issues Simulation Summary Your Name LAW 421 September 11, 2012 Your Instructor What are the issues involved in resolving legal disputes in international transactions? Any time there are contracts with other countries, there has to be some kind of clause for resolving legal disputes. Additionally the clause must include some type of enforcement to ensure resolution (Melvin, 2011) What are some practical considerations of taking legal action against a foreign business partner in another country? Since United States law is only enforceable in United States courts, the laws of the foreign country must be taken into consideration. Because the law of the foreign country is the only law that can be enforceable contracts are only as good as the backing of the country's backing and are only binding in that instance.
From a political standpoint, the Americans and the British did not see eye-to-eye. In 1763, King George of Britain issued the Proclamation Line. The Proclamation Line was an imaginary line that separated the colonists from the Indians. The initial purpose of the Proclamation Line was to ensure that there was no conflict between the colonists and the Native Americans. The Indians to wanted this, only 20 years earlier.
Articles of Confederation Vs. The US Constitution The Articles of Confederation The Articles of Confederation were written to give the nation some form of centralized government and leadership, and were written by a committee of the Second Continental Congress headed by John Dickenson. The Articles originally were proposed with a strong central government with control over the west, equal representation for the states, and the power to levy taxes, but because of their experience with Great Britain the States feared a powerful central government. Due to this fear the committee made several changes to the Articles and then they sent them to all the states for ratification in November of 1777. The Continental Congress was careful to give the states as much independence as possible.
International law, international systems as well as principles currently exist to aim to resolve disputes, however the compliance predominantly relies on the discretion of state sovereignty and jus cogens, which both act as barriers in achieving world order. Difficulties faced in attempting to achieve world order in relation to the United Nations involves its inflexible structure, poor leadership and the use of ‘veto powers’ granted to the Permanent Five members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Post World War II, representatives conducted a meeting and agreed upon a conclusion that the world would never experience such widespread atrocities and damage. Following this meeting, the leaders emerged with the structure of a new international organisation called the United Nations (UN). The UN comprises six major organs, one of which includes the UNSC, containing 15 member states with only five permanent members.

Basic Principles of the War Powers By Louis Fisher Article Review Abstract The article by Louis Fisher entitled Basic Principles of the War Powers examines the history and established regulation of war declaration under Article I of the United States Constitution.

After World War II, the power of Congress to grant war powers to the President has appeared circumvented because of conflicts in Korea and Vietnam without specific approval from Congress. The article by Louis Fisher outlines the power vested in Congress to grant war
In suspending the writ, Lincoln relied on the constitutional authorization that the framers had perceptively included years before in Article I, Section 9 (which reads, in part, “The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it”). However, the Constitution implies that congressional action is required for such suspension. Despite the fact that Congress was in session at the time, Lincoln did not request its approval but personally authorized General Winfield Scott to suspend the writ along the railroad from Philadelphia to Washington, believing that his duty was to protect the
Woodrow Wilson came to Paris bringing with him a peace program, which was about his moral, idealistic notion of a new world order. His idea was to link the instrument of surrender for the Germans to the creation of the League of Nations. On the way to Paris, Wilson went to England, where he spoke about how he wished to overthrow the old diplomatic system, which had led to the escalation of the war even before he had made his "Fourteen Points" speech in January 1918. When the US first entered the Great War, the President wanted that there be “peace without victory” and his Fourteen Points outlined a proposed arrangement that altered diplomatic relationships to such an extent that future wars could be prevented. Wilson could clearly see that the conclusion of the Great War was an opportunity for him to advance his progressive policies.
If not why not? The incorporation of the Bill of rights is the process by which American courts have applied portions of the United States Bill of rights to the States ( American goverment and politics today page 114) The second amendment is not incorporated because of precedent; also commented upon the use of selective incorporation doctrine.
