Matthews held that:
Though the law itself be fair on its face, and impartial in appliance, yet, if it is applied and administered by public authority with an evil eye and an unequal hand, so as practically to make
Pervious, the amendments to add age to the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was rejected. There were several reasons for excluding age from Title VII. First, Congress felt there were not enough information to enacted into legislation. Second, Congress feared adding Age would overload the Civil right measure and as a result cause defeat. Finally, in 1964, Congress did not understand the importance of the Age discrimination problem.…
In the novella Anthem, written by Ayn Rand, the story’s protagonist is Equality 7-2521. Who lives in an era where technology and science have not been delved into due to a higher authority, where self-discovery and performing actions for and by oneself is discouraged. Essentially, Equality 7-2521 lives in a collective society. As one can imagine, where no person has performed experiments or tried to discover knowledge by oneself. In the novella Anthem written by Ayn Rand, the lack of progress in technology and science implies that the society in which Equality 7-2521 lives in is not concerned with advancing their knowledge in technology and science which shows that their beliefs and power are only intended for society as a whole.…
Before the 1960s women rights was a very sensitive topic. Women had no rights so there basically was no discussion. Women were expected to remain submissive and do only what they were told. The 1960s is when a union of women were formed and decided to take action to have equal rights not only for whites and blacks but for women as well. Shirley Chisholm was one of these women.…

The basics of the Equal Protection Clause is that no state may, “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” This means that no law or action of that the state may take can ever interfere with equal protection of the people. This includes the idea that every citizen of the United States is entitled to equality of opportunity. This stops a state from giving certain privileges to groups of people or even taking away rights from others. It is a constitutional guarantee of fair treatment for all persons, which is how the fourteenth amendment prevents state governments from practicing unfair discrimination against a person or a group of people.…

The Alien and Sedition Acts were a series of laws that were supposed to protect the United States from "dangerous" aliens but were used by the Federalists to weaken Democratic-Republican Party. However, this detracts from the American values. It goes against the right of freedom of speech, and equal rights for all while blocking the path for this country to become the melting pot that it was went to be in the beginning. William Penn, in particular, welcomed all settlers because he believed in allowing different ideas and opinions to grow the colony. It allowed fresh ideas to build a better colony.…

Janice: Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, national origin, and religion. (E-text). The requirement of a college degree does not fall within the above categories. However, if a person could prove that such a requirement had a significant adverse effect based on a protected class, it could subject the employer to liability for disparate impact discrimination ( e-text, p 23) unless the employer can show the requirement is job-related and is a business necessity.

The 1970 Act only dealt with equal pay for the same work but in 1975 the EU directive on Equal Pay was passed based on article 119. In 1978, despite the passage of legislation to promote equal pay, women’s position in the UK was still worse than in Italy, France, Germany, or the Benelux countries in 1972. However, The Act has now been mostly superseded by Part 5, chapter 3, of the Equality Act 2010. The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society. The act has made it against the law to discriminate against anyone because of age, being or becoming a transsexual person, being married or in a civil partnership, being pregnant or having a child, disability, race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion, belief or lack of religion/belief, sex or sexual…
The Bill of Rights isn 't some legalistic fine print. It was written to make our lives more free, more prosperous, and happier. By stating this about the Constitution 's Bill of Rights there is a definitive ideology that citizens have for the amendments that is different in every person. To have every individual happy isn’t the primary goal of the document, but it is to ensure national protection which extends to a happier general population. Yet many say that the country has failed them in their individual liberties and should be more careful in their cases when it comes to matters of the Constitution.…
Weber specifies formal and substantive rationality in terms of law making (legislation) and law finding (adjudication) as the two central aspects of law. Weber categorizes law making and law finding processes based on their rationality and formality. This leads to a classification of law as rational or irrational according to either their formal or substantive aspects. As a result, a fourfold ideal-typical types of law emerges; formally rational, formally irrational, substantively rational and substantively irrational.…

Which gender do you think is better at telling facial features between men and women apart when you take the hair out of the picture? For my study I predict junior and senior girls will be the best at telling the genders. They will actually take the time to sit down and think about it, whereas the boys will just guess and move on. That is why there have been many studies done to see just how differently the female and male brains perceive things. With one quick glance we often think that we have the ability to put their faces in the right gender category.…
