Discuss about the court and constitutional interpretation

 

analyze the role of judges in our adversary system, and describe the procedure for the selection of the U.S. Supreme Court judges. Select the judicial selection method that you believe provides the greatest result-selection by merit or by election. Justify your response.

Part 2. You may choose to answer option 1 or option 2 here:

Option 1: From the second e-Activity, compare your state’s judicial selection process with that of the federal judicial selection process. Point out the differences that you believe exist, and provide a rationale for your response.

Option 2: Watch the video and read the article at: Trump backs off tough stand on green-card holders

Right now we have a real-life example of the act of judicial review occurring in a conflict between the executive and the judicial branches concerning the Executive Order: Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements issued by President Trump on 1/25/2017. This order bans immigrants from 7 specific nations from entering the United States for the next 90 – 120 days.

However, on Saturday night, a federal judge granted an emergency stay of the order for people who have already arrived in the United States and those who are in transit, and who hold valid visas, ruling they cannot be deported. Since then, additional federal judges have weighed in on the question of whether the Executive Order is unconstitutional. Pulling in concepts from your Marbury paper, and research from outside sources, discuss the role of the federal judges in this case.

Marketing credence goods is taught In reality, an attorney or CPA may not win the case or be able to save you a lot of extra money in a particular circumstance, but that does not mean that they are not good at what they do. An important part of business development efforts for these types of firms is cultivating referrals. The best spokespersons for them are existing satisfied clients who can share what a great job they did for them. There are a number of ways these firms try to cultivate these referrals. One of my favorites is by hosting interesting events where they encourage a client to bring a non client prospect to attend with them. This allows them to pursue both retention of the current client, and business development with the prospect. Can you think of any other ways a firm might gain additional referrals?

Discuss results of these cost calculations and how these calculations could influence business decisions.

Modeling Costs for the General Store

Discuss results of these cost calculations and how these calculations could influence business decisions.

 

Modeling Costs for the General Store 1. Remember the form of a quadratic function equation: y = f(x) = ax2 + bx + c 2. You will use: W(x) = -0.1×2 + bx + c where (-0.1×2 + bx) represents the store’s variable costs and c is the store’s fixed costs. 3. Choose a value between 10 and 20 for b; that value does not have to be a whole number. 4. So, W(x)is the store’s total monthly costs based on the number of items sold, x. 5. Think about what the variable and fixed costs might be for your fictitious storefront business – and be creative. Start by choosing a fixed cost, c, between $5,000 and $10,000, according to the following class chart (make sure the combination of your b and your c do not match exactly any of your classmates’): If your last name starts with the letter Choose a fixed cost between A–E $5,000–$5,700 F–I $5,800–$6,400 J–L $6,500–$7,100 M–O $7,200–$7,800 P–R $7,800–$8,500 S–T $8,600–$9,200 U–Z $9,300–$10,000 6. Post your chosen c value in your subject line, so your classmates can easily scan the discussion thread and try to avoid duplicating your cvalue. (Different c values make for more discussion.) 7. Your monthly cost is then, W = -0.1×2 + bx + c. 8. Substitute the c value chosen in the previous step to complete your unique equation predicting your monthly costs. 9. Next, choose two values of x (number of items sold) between 50 and 100. Again, try to choose different values from classmates. 10. Plug these values into your model for W and evaluate the monthly business costs given that sales volume. 11. Discuss results of these cost calculations and how these calculations could influence business decisions. 12. Is there a maximum cost for your General Store? If so, how many units must be sold to produce the maximum cost, and what is that maximum cost? How would knowing the number of items sold that produces the maximum cost help you to run your General Store more efficiently?

“What is dirigisme and to what extent does it influence the economy and business in France?

Economy and Business”

“What is dirigisme and to what extent does it influence the economy and business in France?

LET 151 Lecture Module 5 “Economy and Business” The French economy is one of the world’s largest, ranking always in the top ten and some years as high as the fifth largest. Business Success France leads the world in many domains. Areva is the world leader in nuclear energy. Vinci Construction is the world leader in construction. Total is France’s largest company, and one of the world’s largest energy companies. Many people are familiar with France’s luxury goods, like Louis Vuitton leather goods, Chanel perfumes, and Christian Dior evening gowns. Lesser know French products may surprise you. For instance, Motel 6 is owned by the French Accor group of hotels. Boston’s Bunker Hill bridge uses stay cables designed by the French company Freysinnet. And Nissan cars can be said to be roughly half French since Renault and Nissan formed a strategic partnership in 1999. Take a look at page 180 in Helen Drake’s Contemporary France to see the names of more French companies. The article entitled “France Sees Surge in Foreign Investment” gives some indications of France’s competitiveness in today’s world. Economics Overall, France is a capitalist country today.1 But France also has a long tradition of state-intervention or “dirigisme” with respect to the economy. The “dirigiste” tradition precedes the Revolution and is partly the reason for the glory of seventeenth-century France. With the advent of the Revolution, a new value entered economic matters – the public good. This notion of national solidarity, or the third term in the revolutionary slogan of “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité,” has molded France’s economic matters ever since. The French Revolution was largely about eliminating “privilège,” that is, exclusive rights or special exceptions to certain people or certain regions. So the French have a tendency to believe that the economy must benefit everyone and that this can best be done through centralized decisions. In the US, the tendency is to believe something almost the opposite of this. Americans tend to believe that individual gain is the best way to ensure the economy benefits everyone. In actual practice, the economies of the two countries probably are generally fairly close, but the underlying beliefs are starkly different. Read Drake’s pages carefully to get more information on dirigisme. Other Readings You will also read two parts of Adam Gopnik’s Paris to the Moon. As you read, “The Strike” you will get some insights into French economic practices and the country’s centralization. He mentions how France is centralized around Paris (in a way all roads and railroads mostly do lead to Paris. Also, 20% of France’s population lives in the Paris area. Most companies have their headquarters there. One quarter of all university students attend schools in the Paris area. It’s like New York, Washington DC, and LA all in one). The strike itself is the reason I chose the chapter. In France, workers tend to take an adversarial role in respect to management. Thus, the rule seems to be “Strike 1 The Communists are an obvious exception. Some of the Socialists are also exceptions, but since roughly the middle of Mitterrand’s first term, the Socialist Party accepts a market-based economic system. first, negotiate later.” Note, however, that union membership is higher in the US than in France. In talking about the Constitution of the Fifth Republic, James Corbett notes on page 223 of Through French Windows that “The trouble is that issues that never make it to the National Assembly tend to explode in the streets.” Thus, the Fifth Republic can be seen as the root cause of France’s strikes. In “The Tower” Gopnik relates a funny and true incident that reveals some interesting cultural differences. Commerce is the US is highly service-oriented. In France, it is more trade-oriented. Waiters, for instance, in France go through training and are licenced to exercise their trade (métier, in French). You don’t tip them because the tip in included in the bill (service compris). In my opinion, the tip is included because the waiters have professional pride and will do a good job to honor their trade. The idea of “serving” a table to earn a good tip seems vaguely humiliating. It’s a lot like Gopnik’s idea of “producerism.” The newspaper articles deal with some important issues. The one entitled “French Paradox at Work” is about a really important and controversial aspect of French life today – the 35-hour work week. As you read it, think about who proposed it and why. Then chart the pros and cons of it for both workers and employers. And then you should read the follow-up on the 35-hour work in the other article “France to Let Companies Scrap 35-Hour Week.”
