This opened the door to a series of affirmative action policies that would change the way business and government carry out their basic functions. A few years later, the federal government set goals for its departments with respect to the amount of federally contracted dollars it should award to minority-owned businesses. In 1995 the Supreme Court was asked to decide the constitutionality of affirmative action regulations that supported the government in reaching its goals. The case that would change the way affirmative action regulations are interpreted is called Adarand v. Peña. In 1989 Mountain Gravel and Construction Company (Mountain Gravel) was awarded a $1 million prime contract from the Department of Transportation (DOT) to build highways in southwestern Colorado.
The commerce clause refers to Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution. This section of the Constitution gives Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes (Cornell University Law School, n.d.).” This has been used in past court cases when states attempts enact statutes that burdens interstate commerce.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to discuss and outline the history and progression of sex offender registry list including the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. I will also discuss how the Adam Walsh Act has impacted the State of Ohio. Body Since the early 1990s, sex offenders have had to register themselves on the national sex offender registry list so that it would be easier for states to track them. The first of these laws was put into effect in 1994 and new laws have been helping the system evolve into the programs and registry lists we have today. Every time Congress passed a new law to help with the racking of sex offenders, many states also change the way they operate and pass their own laws so that they

The information is recorded in excel spreadsheet format. To calculate the average lifespan, I highlighted the years I wanted to average (1865 thru1870) once those are highlighted, along the bottom of the page, the average age calculates automatically along with the number of deaths. Continue doing that for each range of years 1871-1880, 1881-1890 ect. Now record the information on a line graph. The line graph has the years on the x axis and the age on the y axis.
Legal Issues for Business Organization Task 1 Jocelynn A. Hyler, Business Management Western Governors University Author Note 2624 River Meade Way Nashville, TN 37214 There are many employment laws that provide protection to employees as well as their employer.

The judicial branch consists of the Supreme Courts and Federal Courts. Judges are selected or elected as members of these courts to enforce the law. In summary, the legislative branch makes the law, the executive branch carries out the law and the judicial branch enforces the law. These branches interact with each in such a way that each branch relies on the other two branches for their
Just like proposing an amendment, there are also two separate ways for a proposed amendment to be ratified. The first option is for three-fourths of all state legislatures to vote in the amendments favor. This method is considered the “traditional” ratification method and has been used twenty-six times. (Sidlow & Henschen, 2012) The second option is, once again, the convention route. If the states request a convention and then three-fourths of them vote in favor, then that amendment is ratified.
