    Gibbons V. Ogden Case Study

    The landmark case that opened up the ability for business to operate across state lines was Gibbons v. Ogden. The case started in 1809, when the Legislature of the State of New York granted exclusive navigation privileges of all boats that moved by fire or stream in the waters within the jurisdiction of the state, for twenty years, to Robert R. Livingston and Robert Fulton (Livingston). They wanted a monopoly on a national network of steamboat lines, but were unsuccessful in their pursuit. Only the Orleans Territory awarded them a monopoly on the lower Mississippi (Livingston).…

    Battle Of Big Horn Analysis

    Everyday history is being made, certain things more significant than others. In today’s day and age we are able to capture proof through photo, video, and etc. What about history made in times before all that? Word of mouth, all proof was based on a person’s story that was continually passed down until it was time to be inputted into a text book. Of course with this method, a lot can be left out or even added to the original story. Sometimes so much that it begins to turn into something completely different. Essentially, history was passed down like the childhood game “telephone.” The flaws become evident when talking about the Battle of Big Horn, one of the largest military defeats in U.S. history. Much controversy surrounds…

    Palsgraf V. the Long Island Railroad

    In the case Palsgraf v. The Long Island Railroad, 248 N.Y. 339, 162 N.E. 99, 1928 N.Y.Lexis 1269 (N.Y.), Justice Cardoza denied recovery for the plaintiff. Justice Cardoza found that the railroad was not the proximate cause of Helen Palsgraf's injuries. The concept of proximate cause is one that is less than precise. In today's world of business can we still be sure that the reasoning used by Cardoza still applies? Has a new standard developed? In reviewing the materials in the text you should be able to discuss the issue of causation in a meaningful and dispassionate manner.…

    Palsgraf V. Long Island Railroad Case Summary

    Palsgraf was severely injured due to a blast that shook the railroad station. The unmarked package of fireworks that was dropped by another party boarding a moving train caused the explosion. The explosion caused large iron scales to fall on Plasgrof. As a result, Palsgraf sued the Long Island Railroad for the conductor’s negligence, whom she blames for pulling the commuter on the train. Which initiated the domino effect leading up to her injuries. Judge Cardoza ruled in favor of the Long Island Railroad because the conductor could not have known the passenger had fireworks. The action of the conductor was not a proximate-enough cause…

    Grand Canyon National Park: The Glen Canyon Dam

    Situated north of Grand Canyon National Park, the Glen Canyon Dam serves a multitude of purposes: it controls the distribution of sediment and water, generates $50 to $100 million worth of hydroelectricity, maintains a cold-water trout fishery, and allows for recreational activities in Lake Powell (NRC 1). However, it has also incurred damages to the surrounding environment, which holds cultural significance for the indigenous tribes. In 1988, former Secretary of the Interior Manuel Lujan initiated the Glen Canyon Dam Environmental Impact Studies (EIS) to examine the downstream impact of dam operations. The USBR was first to join the EIS, followed by the National Park Service and state agencies (Austin and Drye 288). However, tribal involvement…

    The Battle of Little Big Horn

    When I think back of the stories that I have heard about how the Native American Indians were driven from their land and forced to live on the reservations one particular event comes to my mind. That event is the Battle of the Little Big Horn. It is one of the few times that the Oglala Sioux made history with them being the ones who left the battlefield as winners. When stories are told, or when the media dares to tamper with history, it is usually the American Indians who are looked upon as the bad guys. They are portrayed as savages who spent their time raiding wagon trains and scalping the white settlers just for fun. The media has lead us to believe that the American government was forced to take the land from these savage Indians. We should put the blame where it belongs, on the U.S. Government who lied, cheated, and stole from the Oglala forcing Crazy Horse, the great war chief, and many other leaders to surrender their nation in order to save the lives of their people.<br><br>In the nineteenth century the most dominant nation in the western plains was the Sioux Nation. This nation was divided into seven tribes: Oglala's, Brule', Minneconjou, Hunkpapa, No Bow, Two Kettle, and the Blackfoot. Of these tribes they had different band. The Hunkpatila was one band of the Oglala's (Guttmacher 12). One of the greatest war chiefs of all times came from this band. His name was Crazy Horse.<br><br>Crazy Horse was not given this name, on his birth date in the fall of 1841. He was born of his father, Crazy Horse an Oglala holy man, and his mother a sister of a Brule' warrior, Spotted Tail. As the boy grew older his hair was wavy so his people gave him the nickname of Curly (Guttmacher 23). He was to go by Curly until the summer of 1858, after a battle with the Arapaho's. Curly's brave charged against the Arapaho's led his father to give Curly the name Crazy Horse. This was the name of his father and of many fathers before him (Guttmacher 47).<br><br>In the 1850's, the…
