Assignment One 1. In the case of Missouri v. Seibert, the court examines the death of Mrs. Seibert’s son, Johnathon who was mentally handicapped and neglected by his mother. When she noticed her son had died in his bed, she knew he was to be covered in bed sores, and she believed the police would see the neglect. She created a plan with her other two sons and their friends to light the home on fire. This would cover up the neglect, since his body would be burned, and they also left Donald Rector, a mentally ill teenager, in the home to make it seem as if Johnathon was being cared for at that time.

In 1791 Hamilton convinced Congress to approve taxes on distilled spirits and carriages. Hamilton 's principal reason for the tax was that he wanted to pay down the national debt, but he justified the tax "more as a measure of social discipline than as a source of revenue." But most importantly, Hamilton "wanted the tax imposed to advance and secure the power of the new federal government." Congress designed the tax so smaller distillers would pay by the gallon, while larger distillers (who could produce in volume) could take advantage of a flat fee. The net result was to affect smaller producers more than larger ones.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act was created to link the east and west coasts of America together to form the transcontinental railroad. America had growing interests in trading with Asian countries, and this railroad was the key. Throughout the 1850s America purchased over $10 million worth of land to build said railroad. After the Kansas-Nebraska act passed, Kansas became the center of attention. Due to building tension between the abolitionists and the pro-slavery parties Kansas turned into a very violent place.
The Kansas-Nebraska act is the fairest written law ever created. The state should have the right to slavery as was the rest of the country. Slaves were well-fed, they created exceptionally wealth and most families owned only 2 to 4 slaves. First off, slaves were well fed. This can be seen on page 212 of the "new perspective on slavery" packet.
Because of its many complexity’s, the Nevada state legislature has various strengths and weaknesses and some components are both. For example, the 120-day session restriction. The restriction saves the state money, because the longer a session runs the costlier it becomes, even though the state only pays a salary for the first 60 days, they still pay expenses for the second 60. However, this session restriction also forces the legislator to do a lot in a relatively short time. Which can lead to questionable decision making, such as when the time the senate passed 9 bills in seven minutes (pg. 72). Another weakness of the legislature, is the decision to have biennale sessions rather than annual sessions, which has created problems for the
”(6) The 16th Amendment stated that “Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever sources derived, without apportionment among the several states and without regard to any census or enumeration.” (7) As a result of the 16th Amendment in 1913, because of exemptions and deductions, no more than 1 percent of the population paid income taxes.

(8) With the 16th Amendment being passed through the necessary steps before becoming a constitution law, the federal government was allowed to enforce taxes on its citizens and people making money.
In the article, Social Welfare Policy article by Diane M. Purvin analyzes and researches the factors of abused mother’s interactions with domestic violence. Purvin seeks to research how welfare policies interact and affect abused mothers by exploring the relationship between poverty, domestic violence, and social welfare (2007p.188).

They saw it as the government not caring about the
Lessenberry states, “ If it weren’t for taxes, our lives would be pure hell... Incidentally, I’ve been in places where they do pay more taxes, and where roads and services are better, and in many ways so is the quality of life.” In this case, Jack is right; the increase in sales tax may not be a bad thing.
