    Another issue in the Civil War that revolved around land was the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. This Bill was passed for great measure, not only did it solve many political unknowns, but it also solved many things for the future. The Kansas Nebraska Act was enacted for “Popular Sovereignty” which means people rule, or something chosen by the government reflected by the citizens. This not only was important in the land matter, but also has connections to states rights and also the 10th Amendment. The Act let the settlers choose rather they wanted their state to be slavery or non-slavery. This caused many conflicts between the north and the south, due to the uneven amount of states wanting to be able to have slaves or to not have slaves. Not only…

    As an Indian Reformer I think the Dawes Act is a great thing. I do not believe it is a product of greed because we are friends with the Indians and I believe it is a step toward the Indians into Euro American culture. I don’t think Indians would ever bridge between their ways and Euro American civilization if they maintained their tribal unity and traditional ways. With this act they will get to learn better ways to survive, farm the proper way, improve livelihood, become educated and learn Christianity. It may take some time for the Indians to adjust to the new ways but it’s for the better. This will help us as reformers because we are friends with the Indians and we only want to see the best for…

    In the historic 1994 midterm elections, Republicans won a majority in Congress for the first time in forty years, partly on the appeal of a platform called the Contract with America. Put forward by House Republicans, this sweeping ten-point plan promised to reshape government. Its main theme was the decentralization of federal authority, deregulation, tax cuts, reform of social programs, increased power for states, a balanced federal budget were its chief ambitions. With unusual speed, all ten items came to a vote in the House of Representatives within one hundred days, and the House passed nine of the ten measures. Yet, even Newt Gingrich who is was the Speaker of the House of Representatives and one of the key leaders of the so called Republican Revolution of the 1990’s compared the plan to the most important political reforms of the twentieth century, progress on the contract was delayed. Senate Republicans were slow to embrace it, Democrats in both chambers denounced it, and President Bill Clinton threatened to veto its most radical provisions. Only three of the least controversial measures had become law by the end of 1995 as Congress and the White House battled bitterly over the federal budget.…

    Most of the rules of evidence, like most of the “rules” of research, are designed to get at the truth. For the most part, the rules of evidence exclude “unreliable” information from the consideration of the trier of fact. Privileges, however, are an exception. Privileges generally exclude reliable information in order to further a competing social policy. The effect of evidentiary privileges may thus be to increase the likelihood of erroneous fact-finding in criminal or civil proceedings. Because this is a high price to pay, the social policy furthered by a privilege must be quite weighty to justify the cost to the truth-finding function of the legal process. The most well-entrenched evidentiary privilege, which is applicable in every American jurisdiction, protects confidential communications between a lawyer and a client for the purpose of legal advice. The rationale of the attorney-client…
