"The defining concern of the Progressive Era, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, was the transferring of responsibility for social policy from the states to the federal level of government. Abolition, prohibition, immigration, labor, and women's suffrage were all social policy issues which the legislatures, at state and federal levels, heard and debated. Women felt the need to speak in public, about abolition in the beginning, and then realized that they had no power to affect decisions except through the influencing of men's votes. Women's suffrage was the first step towards equality of the sexes which has not yet been achieved. Women today need to reacquire the guiding principles and moral foundation of the initial campaign period and must exercise the right to vote which was given by the nineteenth amendment."

"Throughout the last several decades the power of the presidency in relation to the other branches of government has grown enormously both at home and abroad. This research examines the recent expansion of presidential authority in send American troops into combat situations in foreign affairs. Presidential usurpations of military power will be discussed, with special attention given to the relevance and the constitutionality of the 1973 War Powers Act.

Presidential War Powers Surprise Congress
The United States is now well entrenched in attempting to aid the United Nations forces in Bosnia bring that region's conflict to a close. It is not at all clear whether the United Nations, even with American support, will succeed. And even if it appears that peace is at hand, it is not at all clear whether..."

" CONTEXT
The concept of natural rights and the idea of the social contract were paramount in the thinking of the colonists when they challenged the right of Europe to control their economic and political lives. The Declaration of Independence is a restatement of Locke and Rousseau, and the same concepts would be embodied in the Constitution. The French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen would be influenced by the same sources and by the Declaration of Independence as well. The idea of the social contract infuses all of these documents, an idea honed by Locke and Rousseau, though the Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of the Rights of Man have somewhat different visions of individual rights and responsibilities as a comparison will show."

"The G.I. Bill of Rights transformed socio-economic conditions in America by democratizing U.S. higher education. Prior to the enactment of the G.I. Bill the nation's colleges and universities were the domain of the upper middle classes. Discrimination based on race, religion, and gender was commonplace. With the passage of the G.I. Bill institutions of higher education were inundated by war veterans, most from blue-collar backgrounds. By making higher education accessible to millions, the G.I. Bill was responsible for the enlargement of the American middle class.
The G.I. Bill of Rights is the popular name for the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, also known as Public Law 346. The bill has been called the most important piece of legislation of..."

' RELIGION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
This research paper discusses separation of church and state and other issues relating to religion in the public schools in the United States. A number of factors determine the ground rules for the handling of such issues by teachers and school administrators --school policies, state and federal legislation and rulings by state and federal courts. The ultimate arbiter is the United States Supreme Court the decisions of which have been clear in some areas, such as school prayer and less clear in others, such as the permissible limits of public aid to religious institutions and school dress codes.

Basic Constitutional Framework
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution provides: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment..'

"Tort Reform and Business Law
Current Events
Tort reform has not resulted in much change within the American system of law. A primary problem is that as appeals to lower court decisions about the serviceability of tort reform legislation have made their way to courts of appeal, all or part of tort reform legislation is being struck down. This is mainly because courts wish to preserve "the right to a jury trial for common-law torts without limitation" (Finzen, Haley, & Shaw, 1998). The article appearing in the February 16, 1998 issue of The National Law Journal, entitled "Illinois high court latest to nix reform law," goes a long way towards framing the difficulties inherent in tort law. It seems that while allowing juries the freedom to find for huge damages may seem ludicrous.."

"LABOR UNIONS ARE NECESSARY: A POSITION PAPER
Introduction
This research develops a position on the necessity of labor unions. The argument developed in this essay is that labor unions are necessary.

Labor Law in the United States
In the United States, labor law is, essentially, a federal matter, and the government arbiter between management and labor is the National labor Relations Board, generally referred to as the NLRB (Calvert 19). One result of this approach is a uniform application across the country of rules governing labor-management relations. The states are able to exercise little original jurisdiction in labor-management relations (the most notable example of state jurisdiction are the so-called right to work laws.."

"Aristotle's treatment of politics and rule begins, not with a discussion of elections and public administration but rather with a treatment of property, and not real (land) or personal (movable) property but rather persons as property, or slaves. Slaves are classified, not according as they do physical labor but according as they belong to (hence are subordinate to) part of a fundamental environment of rational human experience, the management of the household. The treatment of slaves as an aspect of household management is crucial because Aristotle conceptualizes the household in the same manner as he conceptualizes the political environment, as the highest and best expression of human rationality.

Human rationality is a naturally occurring, organic structure, and so are its products. For example, Aristotle refers to the.."

"LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA FOR THERAPEUTIC USES

Background on and Significance of the Issue

In the midst of a formally declared national war on drug use in the United States, demands continue to be heard for the legalization of the use of marijuana. That such demands continue to be expressed by a population minority segment of substantial size at a time when the seriousness of the drug problem in the United States is not open to question is indicative of the wide divergence of opinion on marijuana legalization that exists in the United States (Clayton & Leukefeld, 1992). Added to this general controversy is the more limited demand for the legalization of marijuana for therapeutic uses (Dansak, 1997).
The focus of the debate over the legalization of marijuana shifted ..."

"THE AUDITOR & FRAUD

Introduction

This research examines the role of the external auditor in the detection of fraud. The increasing prevalence of fraud, together with increasing criticism of the accounting profession for high-profile failures to detect such fraud, has led to the implementation of changes in the practice of auditing.

Background on the Issue

Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) are developed and enforced by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for the public accounting profession. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), however, also exercises responsibility with respect to the auditing of public companies, and conducts its own auditing enforcement activities. In recent years, the ..."

Abstract
This is persuasive essay on Megan's Law and how it is unjust to the offender. It examines what the goals and intentions of the law are and how they seem not to be effective. Argues that the law restricts individual's privacy and causes mass panic among the public.

From the Paper
"President Clinton signed Megan's Law on May 17, 1996. The law is named after seven year old Megan Kanka, who was raped and murdered by a twice convicted sex offender (Miller 1998). There are two main goals of the law. One is the Sex Offender Registration, whereby each state and the federal government are compelled to register persons who have been convicted of sex crimes against children. The second goal of the law is Community Notification. Under this goal, each state and the federal government are compelled to make available to the public private and personal information on convicted sex offenders (http://www.meganslaw.org)."

Abstract
This paper discusses that women's citizenship is more than political rights and includes how women are treated at work. The paper points out that from the beginning of America, economic success and the right to work has been linked with full participation in the American political process. The paper continues that current law still reflects certain anti-female laboring biases.

From the Paper
"The need for organized, well-paid male work was thus presented as validating a necessary social norm, the ability of a man to be the head of his own household, and to control the purse strings of the home. Male dominion of the family was crucial to the social order of the land, thus making well-paid male labor an economic necessity. This did not mean, of course, that women did not work when necessary. However, even when women did work extremely hard, such labor was viewed as subsidiary to male labor and male economic sustenance of the household."

" In all but a few states teacher strikes are illegal. Paraphrasing the definition of "strike" offered by Black's Law Dictionary, a teacher's strike is defined as the cessation of work by a body of teachers for the purpose of forcing from the school board certain concessions pertaining to working conditions, salaries or other aspects of teacher welfare. This discussion will present the opposing arguments for granting teachers the right to strike concluding with the opinion that teachers should not be given the right to strike (Gatti & Gatti, 1972). The arguments presented will be based on the legal and educational issues involved in teacher's strikes.
During the 1960s and 1970s there was a growing discontent among teachers. This discontent was based on a number of (...)"

"The purpose of this paper is to discuss the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act of 1970. The paper will examine the RICO Act and the effect that it has had on criminal organizations in the United States, particularly the Mafia. It will consider the strengths and weaknesses, and the overall effectiveness of the RICO Act in handling organized crime as such. Special emphasis will be placed on the extent to which the RICO Act is based on the mini/maxi theory. The mini/maxi theory enables one to analyze the Mafia, and the extent to which it operates, on the basis of either best-possible or worst-possible scenarios. By extension, the paper will seek to determine whether the Act proves either of these scenarios to be true.
In 1970, the U.S. government passed the Organized Crime (...)"

Both OSHA and workers' compensation laws in the United States are extensions of the concept that public health should be promoted and protected by government. In contemporary society, prospects for the health of individuals are ". . . determined by public policy, by those decisions which shape contemporary environments . . ."
