One major difference between civil and criminal cases is that civil cases:
A. are always started by the government.
B. can result in a defendant being sent to jail.
C. can be brought against both juveniles and adults.
D. can be decided by a judge instead of a jury.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. can be decided by a judge instead of a jury.

Explanation:

In criminal cases, matters are almost always decided by a jury. But, in civil cases, one can often opt to have either a jury or a judge decide the case.

In criminal cases, you can plead and not stand trial before a jury, but in civil cases, you can decide with the other party, be you plaintiff or defendant.

Civil cases usually involve private disputes between persons or organizations. Criminal cases involve an action that is considered to be harmful to society as a whole (hence, these are considered offenses against the "state" or the jurisdiction of the prosecution).

No. The other Allies wanted to punish Germany harshly for its actions.
Yes. Germany was able to negotiate a peace settlement without admitting defeat.

Answers

Answer:

No. The other Allies wanted to punish Germany harshly for its actions.

Explanation:

Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial required "Germany [to] accept the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage" during the war (the other members of the Central Powers signed treaties containing similar articles). This article, Article 231, later became known as the War Guilt clause. The treaty required Germany to disarm, make ample territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers.

The treaty stripped Germany of 25,000 square miles (65,000 km2) of territory and 7 million people. It also required Germany to give up the gains made via the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and grant independence to the protectorates that had been established.

Answers

Answer:

Arrested, tried and convicted in New Orleans of a violation of one of Louisiana's racial segregation laws, he appealed through Louisiana state courts to the U.S. Supreme Court and lost.

Answers

Answer:

unconquered parts of the Confederacy.

Explanation:

Instead of genuine concern for equality and freedom, Emancipation Proclamation was more of a wartime measure to retain the Union. Lincoln implemented the Emancipation Proclamation only to the rebellious Southern states. The federal government had little authority or capacity to implement the laws since certain states had already seceded and the war was ongoing. Moreover, the proclamation did not extend to enslaved people, in the border states, which had not seceded but slavery was practiced there.

What are 3-5 things that were unique to life out West?

Answer:

The settlement in the western United States

Native Americans sent to reservations

The foundation of the Populist Party

Explanation:

The construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, as well as the discovery of gold, silver, and copper in many western states, led to the rapid settlement of the western United States. By 1890, 430 million acres in the Far West were settled, much more than the previous 250 years.

After 30 years of war, 250,000 Native Americans who lived on the Great Plains were enclosed in reservations to allow the westward settlement.

The Populist Party was founded with the support of western farmers affected by the depression that arose in rural America who wanted a political voice against the railroad tycoons.

Explanation:

The abacus was invented during the Yuan Dynasty which lasted between 1206AD till 1368AD and then it was expanded and refined by the Ming Dynasty (1368AD-1644AD).

There have been archaeological proof of this as the writings of Tao Zongyi describes in his book that the new servants, unlike the older and more experienced ones were "just like abacus heads" and that they would not move unless they were made to move. This bears credence to the fact that the abacus was already widely used then.

Read the passage below and then answer the question.
The Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution assigns the state governments their powers. The
Constitution states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by
it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
What conclusion can you draw, based on the passage?

Answers

Answer:

The conclusion that can be drawn based on the given passage is that the Tenth Amendment restricts the power of federal government and enlarges the state government power.

Explanation:

The Tenth Amendment in the U. S. Constitution was sanctioned on 15th December, 1791 in the Bill of Rights. The Tenth Amendment of the Constitution gives increased power to the state government than the federal government. This amendment gives power to the federal governent only in the areas that are mentioned in the Constitution.

The rest of the powers that are not bestowed to the federal government is sanctioned to the state government or the people. The 'powers' that the US Supreme Court specifies given to the state government are related to commerce, laws, familial relations, etc.

Thus the conclusion drawn based on the passage is that the Tenth Amendment gives increased power to the state government and also creates a balance between the powers of the federal government and the state government.

To what extent were the colonists' responses and forms of protest toward British
rule just?

Answers

Answer:

They were very just. The British Government was charging an excessive and unfair amount of taxes on the colonies, taxes that were also quite regressive (meaning that they affected the poor disproportionately).

The colonies were used to a great degree of autonomy and self-rule, and these types of taxes were met with shock and opposition.

At first, the colonists were asking for parliamentary representation as a necessary condition for the imposition of existing and new taxes, but these demands were met with scorn. For this reason, the situation turned into a full revolt, which finally resulted in the American Revolutionary War.

PET plastic is melted and blown over soda bottle molds to produce the bottles. One idea Riley's engineers have suggested is to retrofit the soda bottle molds and change the plastic formulation slightly so that 25 % less PET plastic is used for each bottle. The average kilograms of PET per soda bottle before any redesign is 0.004 kg. The cost of retrofitting the soda bottle molds will result in a one-time charge of $22,112, while the plastic reformulation will cause the average cost per kilogram of PET plastic to change from $3.00 to $3.30.Required:a.
