Abstract
The paper discusses the controversy surrounding the interpretation of the Second Amendment's provision regarding the right to keep and bear arms. The paper explains how some posit that this refers to the people's collective right as a members of a well-regulated state militia, while others claim it refers to each individual's rights. This paper argues that the Second Amendment was designed not only to protect the militias; it was also intended to protect an individual's right to own and bear arms.

Introduction
Historical Background
Constitutional Interpretation
"The Right of the People"
"To Keep and Bear Arms"
"A Well Regulated Militia, being Necessary to the Security of a Free State"
Challenges to the Second Amendment
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Today, the interpretation of the Second Amendment has polarized the American people among two different views (Greenslade, 2004). Those opposed to private ownership of firearms argue that there is no individual right to keep and bear arms because the Second Amendment refers to the people's collective right as a members of a well-regulated State militia. In contrast, the individual rights view holds that individuals may bring claims or raise challenges based on a violation of their rights under the Second Amendment just as they do to vindicate individual rights secured by other provisions of the Bill of Rights. This view appears to be the most valid after placing the Second Amendment in appropriate historical and Constitutional context."

Hard-Line Southerners and Their Evil Deeds
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
Plessy v. Ferguson
The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
From the Paper
"In 1910, Arthur W. Machen wrote in the Harvard Law Review - forty years after the passage of the 15th - that this amendment has been "despised, flouted, nullified, evaded," and moreover, had never up to and through the time Machen wrote his piece, been backed by the High Court to assure the suffrage rights of black citizens. And indeed it took the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to truly move the country forward into an era that the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution were supposed to open the door for. Jim Crow and Southern segregation were alive and well even up into the 1960s in some Southern states, as witnessed by the fact that President John Fitzgerald Kennedy and U.S. Attorney General Bobby Kennedy had to send federal troops into Mississippi in 1962 to allow James Meredith to enter the University of Mississippi."

Mandatory Food Labeling, 2007.
This paper discusses food and drug regulation in America.

Abstract
The paper looks at the history of food and drug regulation in America. The paper discusses how nutritionists and consumer advocates who support such legislation have their personal agendas involved. The paper examines the struggle over food labeling and shows how even something seemingly objective, like caloric content or freedom from artificial pesticides, can be subject to political influences.
From the Paper
"Concerns about food content and purity have a long history, not simply in America, but in the history of the world. To protect the health of the consumer, governments have long attempted to regulate what can or can not be added to food products. Food producers have often attempted to alter foods in an effort to obtain the same price for diluted and even dangerous goods. "For instance, water has often been added to wine, the cream skimmed from milk, and chalk added to bread" (Law, 2004). Mandatory, accurate food labeling attempts to solve the problem of asymmetric information, as producers often know more about product quality than consumers."

Abstract
This paper presents a case from Red Lobster-Olive Garden that illustrates problematic labor negotiations at the restaurant. The paper describes the case according to Chapter 19 of "Negotiation," written by authors Roy J. Lewicki and David M. Saunders. The paper describes the history of employee disputes at this restaurant and the outcome of this particular issue.
From the Paper
" The eventual settlement did not dictate any change in the restaurant chain's practices, as the practices themselves were not the issue, only the issue of compliance and the restaurant chains' responsibility in ensuring its managers upheld state law. "However, attorneys for the class do not foresee any ongoing problems," since 2002, the chains eventually 'cleaned up their acts' as reports of employees missing their meal and rest breaks declined sharply, and "restaurant managers who did not permit employees to take breaks have been subject to discipline by the company," which was not the case before the lawsuit and employees were no longer required to purchase uniforms at any branch ("Red Lobster and Olive Garden Employees Settle Meal and Rest Break Class Action For $9.5 Million," 2006, Wage Law: California Wage and Hour Law)."

Constitutional Rights, 2007.
A discussion regarding constitutional law and whether company e-mail is protected under the employee's right of privacy.

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses constitutional rights pertaining to an employee's right to privacy when using company e-mail for personal use. The paper takes a look at the example of "Asia Global Crossing, Ltd., et al.".
From the Paper
"However, this does not mean that all employee e-mails are protected; only if the company does not openly monitor employee email and inform employees they are being monitored, there is a reasonable expectation of confidentiality. For example in "Bonita P. Bourke, et al. v. Nissan Motor Corporation in U.S.A.," (California Court of Appeals, Second Appellate District, Case No. B068705, July 26, 1993). The plaintiffs said the company's review of e-mail messages over a company system constituted an invasion of their right of privacy in violation of both the California Constitution and common law. But the court found that plaintiffs lacked a reasonable, objective expectation of privacy that their sexual and explicit e-mails would be private, because the company had given them notice e-mail could be reviewed without their knowledge or consent."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that in the past few years, the increase in cybercrime, or crime conducted through the Internet, has emerged as a significant concern for government agencies, buyers and sellers conducting business online, and parents. The writer explains that the United States Department of Justice has defined cybercrime as computer intrusion, including such issues as password trafficking, counterfeiting currency, child pornography or exploitation, Internet fraud and spam, Internet harassment, Internet bomb threats, and trafficking in explosive or incendiary devices or firearms over the Internet. The writer concludes that the research in the area of cybercrime indicates that it is a growing epidemic that is very easy to commit, due to the widespread reach of the Internet and the ability to be anonymous.
Outline:
Introduction
Online Businesses
Hardware and Virus Attacks
Online Predators
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As a result, many crimes are committed against the valid owner of the credit card. In addition, online vendors assume no liability for credit card fraud. If an online purchase is made with a stolen credit card, the vendor is not liable. As long as the transaction went through and a signature was received from the customer, the vendor will receive his payment from the credit card company. As soon as the valid owner of the credit card receives a bill and becomes aware of the fraud, his complaint to the credit card company will not affect himself nor the online vendor. It is ultimately the card issuer that absorbs the financial loss."

Business Laws, 2007.
This paper discusses the role of government in business management as seen in the minimum wage and anti-trust laws.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that artificially adjusting wages above market rates set by the supply and demand of labor increases unemployment because, when businesses cannot pass along the higher labor costs, they often eliminate workers though decreased production or by substituting them with more efficient technologies. The author points out that minimum wage laws are less effective at reducing social exclusion and are more damaging to businesses than other alternatives such as training programs and the earned income tax credit. The paper further relates that many of the new industries in our economy, such as the software industry, Internet-based businesses, communications services and equipment and biotechnology, many problems arise when applying anti-trust laws, , including network effects and low marginal costs and high fixed costs.
Table of Contents:
Minimum Wage Laws
Anti-trust - Microsoft
From the Paper
"Firms in new economy industries must invest great sums of money to develop their products, either in upfront research and development or in physical or virtual networks to create and deliver products. Microsoft is a natural monopoly business. Initially, it is expensive to produce software, but it is very cheap to make copies. The marginal cost of Microsoft's software is virtually zero, so average total costs decline with each copy sold. As the company established its lead, it becomes more difficult for competitors to compete against it with lower prices, since their own costs have to be recouped with fewer sales."

Recidivism for DUI Offenders, 2007.
This paper discusses whether recidivism for driving under the influence (DUI) offenders who are electronically monitored is lower than for those that are not electronically monitored.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that race is not the only issue that is involved in the sentencing disparity of DUI offenders, however, it is one of the larger ones. This study explores all of the issues that are involved in disparity in sentencing, and does not concern itself solely with race. However, since race appears to be one of the largest factors, its importance in the study and the literature review is evident. The writer concludes that while there are no real solutions, one of the best ideas would be to have more law enforcement agencies use monitoring, even though many refuse to do so. The writer then suggests limiting the number of people on electronic monitoring and choosing which ones to monitor carefully, so that the offenders being monitored are those with the highest chance of rehabilitation.

Literature Review
Research Method
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Literature on this subject, which will be reviewed in Chapter Two, appears to indicate that some disparity may exist, and this is worrying for minority individuals, due to the fact that they are aware that, if they are arrested for DUI crimes, they will be likely to be punished more severely than those that are of the Caucasian race. The review of the literature will provide insight into this issue, and will likely shed light on whether this is an accurate assumption and whether there is anything that can be done to correct sentencing disparities if they do exist in the court system."
"Electronic monitoring of these individuals is often thought to play a role in recidivism rates, and that issue will be explored within the context of sentencing guidelines and other related issues. Unfortunately, there is little literature specifically dealing with sentencing disparity based on DUI crimes. This is unfortunate, but clearly shows the need for more studies. It is unfortunate for the understanding of DUI crimes sentencing disparity when it comes to race and other factors that there is not more literature on the specific subject."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the case of Gaines v. Canada (1938), the first case to directly challenge school segregation. The paper reports that Lloyd Gaines filed the petition for admission to the University of Missouri Law School.The paper goes on to say that the decision in the Gaines case focused on the practice of southern states to meet the provision of "equality" by awarding out-of-state tuition scholarships to black students. In lieu of providing equal facilities, blacks were expected to use the scholarships to defray costs associated with attending northern institutions. Southern states universally ignored the Court's ruling that the scholarships did not equalize the conditions.

Does Providing for the Legal Education of Missouri Blacks in Other States Satisfy Equal Protection?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Equal protection is a subsidiary of human rights, and is to be provided to all, irrespective of any preference, discrimination and likeness. The system that fails to uphold the notion of equal protection is under moral and legal obligation to ensure the implementation of equal protection draft within the system. It is to be considered a malpractice, if the system admits the failure of the provision on its behalf, but recommends the complainant to avail the provisions for the equal protection from another system. It is wrong to believe that equal protection can be provided to residents of particular region, and be avoided to another class of it. Therefore if rights are to be provided, then these rights have to be provided to all without any discriminatory attitude. A resident and practitioner of particular system, in under no obligation to avail his or her fortunes from other system, running at parallel. Instead, it is the responsibility of the system itself to broaden the scope of its moral and legal conduct, so that the grievances of the complainant can be addressed and resolved, in accordance with the sufficiently elaborated parameters of the law, within legal pretext.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the role of the police officer. The paper then reviews and discusses the recruitment and selection of potential police officers, and their training.
Outline:
Recruitment
Selection
Training
From the Paper
"Different commentaries and reactions were received regarding the proper training police officers should undertake. Training courses should be focused on on-the-job training, programs in human relations, and grounding for the social service purpose of police officers. Later reports focused on the biases and prejudices in the training process that may affect police-community relations. Police officers seemed to be oppressors people were afraid to come near to, regardless of them being criminals or civilians. James Fyfe who made a transcript on police practices stated that a better way to define the police is to understand that they are there to maintain order and not necessarily to look for criminals. He recommended this viewpoint should pass through police training programs. James Fype also said that the avoidance of discriminatory behavior at the early levels of police officer training would make a significant impact since when these officers are still at the initial stages, they are more receptive and eager to learn."

Abstract
This paper discusses the public policy regarding abortion in the United States. The paper describes the previous policy and its implications for society. It then describes how the policy has been changed and the benefits that the government hoped to achieve by introducing new legislation. The paper also discusses the effects of parental involvement on the rate of abortion.
From the Paper
"With the above discussion, we have reached the conclusion that parental involvement can work as a serious deterrent to abortion. This deterrent is required in order to promote other means of birth control. A minor engaging in sexual activity should be educated about the use of contraceptives so abortion is not seen as an alternative. Some important recommendations have also been made which are adequate backed by court rulings such as prohibiting the use of federal funds, physicians' notification to parents and court permission. All these methods along with parental involvement laws can significantly reduced the chances of a minor using abortion as alternative birth control method."

Abstract
The paper explains that anti-trust laws protect not only the small competitors from being taken out of business by predatory pricing attempts by the big league businesses, but also protects the consumer by protecting the free trade of competition in the market place. The paper examines the issue of below cost selling of products but notes the difficulty of proving that this is for the purpose of driving competition out of business. The paper discusses how small businesses must find other ways to compete and find their niche market in whatever field they are selling products and services.
From the Paper
"The American Dream is a concept that is followed around the world. It is a concept based on the premise that if one has a good idea, and is willing to work hard one can achieve great success. Years ago, when America was in its infancy this held true without government interference but in more recent history it has become entirely too competitive to achieve the American Dream in some areas of business without some protection of the marketplace. The anti-trust laws are in place for the purpose of protecting the market place. It protects not only the small competitors from being taken out of business by predatory pricing attempts by the big league businesses, it also protects the consumer by protecting the free trade of competition in the market place."

UCC
The Case
From the Paper
"In this particular case the fact that the buyer had only driven the vehicle for 7/10 of a mile provided strength for the argument of Lemon Law violation."
"Society believes and understands that during the course of a test drive while vehicle shopping there is stress and excitement that may prevent the buyer from being able to detect any flaws of the car. However, the first few miles that the buyer owns the vehicle are accepted by society and the UCC as "exciting" and telling as he or she begins to settle into vehicle ownership. The law understands this and consequently provides a reasonable time period for defects to be discovered and the contract broken."

My Opinion
From the Paper
"Since their inceptions both COBRA and the FLSA have served an important purpose in the employment world. Throughout the nation employees work hard and help the companies that employ them to build empires of wealth, however, if there are bumps in the road either on the part of the employee or employer the company often goes on to continue growing while the employee, who helped build that company is left out in the cold. COBRA and FLSA both help reduce the stress and anxiety that can go with the loss of a job for reasons other than Gross Misconduct."
