Abstract
This paper discusses the case of Chisholm vs. Georgia of 1793 that is considered by many to be the first great United States Supreme Court case. The paper presents the case of South Carolina residents executing the estate of Alexander Chisholm, who sued the state of Georgia in the Supreme Court over payments due them for goods that Chisholm had supplied to Georgia during the American Revolutionary War. The paper discusses the Court's ruling and describes the Eleventh Amendment, which was passed a couple of years thereafter.
From the Paper
"Two years later, the Eleventh Amendment was passed, which states, ?The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State? (Eleventh PP). This amendment forbids Federal jurisdiction in cases when citizens of one state or foreign countries attempt to sue another state and formally removed the Court?s jurisdiction in such cases, however, citizens of one state or foreign countries can still use the Federal courts if the state consents to be sued or if Congress abrogates the states? immunity from suit (Wikipedia PP). Alden v. Maine, 527 U.S. 706 (1999) states, ?Private individuals cannot enforce federal laws against unconsenting states in state court to the extent enforcement is barred in federal court by the 11th Amendment? (Amendment PP). The state can waive immunity, however, the waiver must be knowing and authorized, and moreover, the mere acceptance of federal funds does not constitute clear consent, such as in Atascadero State Hospital v. Scanlon, 473 U.S. 234 (1985) (Amendment PP). Sovereign immunity bars suits against unconsenting states in state court for violations of federal law and from authorizing a federal agency to adjudicate complaints by private persons against a state or state agency."

Abstract
This in-depth paper discusses the rise to power of Governor Joseph E. Brown of Georgia during the Antebellum Period (1840-1860) in American History. It argues that Brown's rise was based on his support for states' rights, his common man roots and popularity. The paper describes that his power was a championship of the common Georgian causes, slavery, and a division within the Democratic Party. It equates Brown's success with the fact that he was a true Georgian and never dealt with national politics. The paper concludes that Brown used his power as Governor to lead Georgia out of the Union, when most Georgians wanted to remain in the Union.

From the Paper
"A defining moment in American history was the cannon shot that could be heard across the country. At 4:30 in the morning on April 12, 1861, Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant-Beauregard (b. 1818 ? d. 1893), under the orders of Confederate President Jefferson Davis (b. 1808 ? d. 1889), opened fire on the besieged Fort Sumter in the Charleston, South Carolina, harbor, starting the American Civil War (1861-1865). The following day, Georgia Governor Joseph Emerson Brown (b. 1821 ? d. 1894) received a telegram from the newly appointed Confederate Secretary of War, Leroy P. Walker (b. 1817 ? d. 1884), informing Brown of the events in South Carolina. Walker wrote, ?I must beg you at once without more delay to furnish my requisition for troops of March 9th. . . I trust you will concur with me in the opinion that the emergency of the case demands instant action.? As Governor Brown read this letter he must have felt apprehensive. On the previous January 19th, using his power and popularity, Brown had lead Georgia out of the Union during a state convention, but now the first shots of a rebellion had been fired. This Southern Rebellion would surely lead to the creation of an independent Confederated States of America. At this point Brown must choose between the protection of Georgia and the protection of the newly born Confederate States of America. Brown quickly began writing his response to Secretary Walker."

Abstract
This paper explains that International Paper, considering industry-wide overcapacity, would not necessarily lead to improved profitability, and the risks of owning Georgia-Pacific stock include the company's severe exposure to asbestos liabilities and environmental lawsuits and the high leverage on the balance sheet. The author points out that the stock market "bulls" state that IP occupies the industry's number one spot in coated and uncoated paper, bleached board and land ownership; the number two spot in softwood lumber production and the number three spot in container-board, which translates into scale advantages. The paper relates that the "bulls" state that the sale of Georgia-Pacific's low-margin construction-products distribution business will free up more than $1 billion to put toward debt reduction. Many tables and charts.

From the Paper
"Over the past three years, International Paper has consolidated its position in the industry. Its strategy was to use acquisitions in order to build momentum and sell any assets that cannot be used in one of the company's three core categories. International Paper bought Champion International for $9.5 billion in 2000 and subsequently sold non-essential assets which were in total value of $3 billion. When it comes to strategy, Georgia-Pacific's intention is to distance itself from commodity wood and paper products, and move into high-value-added businesses, that also present the advantage to be close to the consumer. In 2001, the company spun off its timber operations and sold a portion of its pulp and paper assets. In 2002, the company sold its paper distribution business. Finally, in 2004, GP sold its construction-product distribution business and two pulp mills."

From the Paper
"It is evident from his long career in public life that the man possesses farsightedness and a genuine desire to bring positive change in social and economic life of people in his state and therefore was rightly selected to represent his people in the Senate. It is certainly commendable that the policies he made exclusively for his state were considered worthy of adoption on a national level. He will now serve as a Senator till July 2004 and has decided to work for his people and never for one particular party. The man is known for his commitment to his state and the success of his programs is evident from the fact that when he left office, his approval rating had reached 85 percent. He had been able to send 357,000 Georgians to college through his HOPE scholarship programs and some 246,200 young kids stood to benefit from his pre-kindergarten program, both these programs were lottery funded."

From the Paper
"In 1999, Pope John Paul visited the predominantly Orthodox Georgia. However, despite his pleas for closer ties between the two churches, ?no Orthodox clergy attended his mass? (Sheets pg). His visit was seen by Georgians as more political than religious, helping to shine the international spotlight on Georgia. In his homily, the Pope expressed, ?With its culture, history and faith, Georgia has always looked towards the West and has made its own contribution to Christian Europe? (Sheets pg). He went on to describe Georgia as a ?model of respect and tolerance towards other religions and noted that places of worship for Christians, Jews and Moslems stood close together in Tbilisi? (Sheets pg)."

From the Paper
"Adolescent pregnancies and resulting births are complex problems not only for the mother and child, but for society as a whole. The factors that place adolescents at risk for pregnancy and parenthood are varied. These factors include the sexual behavior of adolescents, the role of self esteem, attitudes toward school, educational expectations of parent and teachers and the adolescents themselves, and access to health care. The inherent problems related to adolescent pregnancies involve personal, physical, interpersonal, social, religious, ethical, and economic issues. The pregnant adolescent is placed at physical, psychological, social, and educational risks. The outcomes of such risks typically are come combination of poor parenting skills and a lifetime in a lower socioeconomic status (Frost & Forrest, 1995)."

Following is the marketing information for an introduction of Georgia into the United States. Included in this, is a market analysis, an industry and competitor assessment and the marketing strategy that will be employed.
From the Paper
"Market Analysis: As noted, Georgia is the highest grossing coffee beverage in Japan; however, to successfully enter the United States market, a different market segment should be targeted. Instead of targeting adult beverage drinkers, the late teen, early twenties age demographic should be targeted for American Georgia. Young adults between the ages of 12 and 21 spend $217 billion a year, in the retail market (Clements). In fact, teenage girls spend approximately $47 per week, while boys spend $45 per week ("Girl Power")."

Minority Issues in Criminal Justice: Georgia v. McCollum, 2006.
A review of the case entitled Georgia v. McCollum.

Abstract
This paper reviews a recent United States Supreme Court decision Georgia v. McCollum (505 U. S. 42, 1992) in which the United States' highest court held that peremptory jury selection by a criminal defendant, like jury selection by a state prosecutor, ceases to be acceptable when it forbids the inclusion of whole groups of people instead of merely the exclusion of particular individuals who cannot be counted upon to deliberate honestly and thoughtfully.
From the Paper
"Georgia v. McCollum was a United States Supreme Court case that involved the uncomfortable intersection between discrimination and jury selection. Particularly, the case turned upon how the legal system should balance the rights of the accused with the rights of prospective jurors. The following paper will examine the High Court's balancing of these two rights and assess whether or not the final "balancing act" achieved was a sound one or whether it creates the potential for new abuses (ended here)."

From the Paper
"It was believed by the colonists that Georgia would prove to be a profitable colony because of the production of silk and fine wines. Eventually the colonists found that the most profitable area of the colony was at the port of Savannah. In time Savannah became an ideal place for the production of rice, cotton and forest products.
Eventually the city of Savannah was captured by the British in 1778 and it was held by the British until 1782. By 1860 Savannah had began to prosper economically from the production of cotton and was heavily dependent upon slavery. In 1864 Union troops entered the city threatening to destroy it. The troops in Savannah surrendered on Christmas Eve and General William Sherman offered Savannah as a Christmas Gift to President Lincoln. The telegraph that presented the gift read, ?I beg to present you as a Christmas Gift, the City of Savannah with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition; and also about 25,000 bales of cotton.?(War and Occupation) Thought the city was not destroyed the remnants of war caused great turmoil to the economy of the city. However by the 1870?s the city was again benefiting from the production and export of cotton. (War and Occupation)"

Abstract
This paper discusses the works of famous American artist, Georgia O'Keefe, and Renaissance artist, Artemisia Gentileschi. The paper looks at the styles, techniques, and subjects of each artist, as well as their influence in the art world.
From the Paper
"Compared to their more famous male counterparts, women artists have always been relegated to the ephemeral areas of art history. As a whole, this area of study has been grossly unrecognized and under-appreciated for a number of years, mostly due to the absence of solid documentation on the lives of those women who contributed to the long history of art in Western Civilization. Nonetheless, two prominent female painters deserve closer examination; one of these artists is Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653) and the other Georgia O'Keefe (1887-1986). Both artists represent the pinnacle of artistic achievement in painting, with Gentileschi firmly established as a master of the Renaissance and O'Keefe as one of the truly great American painters of the 20th century."

Federal Budget Deficit and Georgia, 2006.
This paper examines theories behind the Federal Deficit and attempts to apply them to state budgets, in particular, that of Georgia.

Abstract
This paper discusses the federal budget deficit and various strategies that can be formulated to address it. Particularly important are several budgetary techniques employed at the state level, specifically Georgia, that are effective at controlling spending without increasing taxation. Private research institutes, such as the Cato Institute, often propose more radical solutions but these are indicative of the importance of controlling the deficit.
From the Paper
"Most analysts readily admit that the federal budget deficit is bordering on the unmanageable. Between geopolitical events such as the Iraq War, numerous petrochemical industry developments, and natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, increasing deficits at the federal level have been the modus operandi of the current administration: "The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) announced on August 26th that the fiscal year 2004 federal budget deficit will be an estimated $480 billion, and that deficits could total $5 trillion over the next 10 years" (Budget par.1). While certainly state budgets are not of the same magnitude as the federal government's budget, they are similarly devised and the federal government would be well-advised to appropriate some of the fiscal controls that many states have adopted. Georgia, for example, utilizes a revenue shortfall reserve program that is mandated by law (Georgia). Essentially, this fund is created..."

Abstract
This paper examines how the United States Supreme Court made a radical decision in June of 1972 to ban capital punishment as unconstitutional. It looks at how the ban came at the close of Furman v. Georgia, a case that would landmark future capital punishment debates.
From the Paper
"The United States Supreme Court made a radical decision in June of 1972 to ban capital punishment as unconstitutional. The ban came at the close of Furman v. Georgia, a case that would landmark future capital punishment debates. Five of the nine Justices concurred with this decision. The Court decided that Furman v. Georgia, along with its partner cases Jackson v. Georgia and Branch v. Texas, indicated capital punishment was "cruel and unusual punishment in violation of [the] Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments" (Furman v. Georgia 1). The Supreme Court's ruling commuted the death sentences of 629 prisoners, effectively ending capital punishment in the United States (King 5). Although only two of the Justices thought capital punishment unconstitutional in all cases (Goldman), all five agreed on its discriminatory use (King 5). "

Abstract
School Shooting - Conyers, GA
From the Paper
"Conflict resolution programs and preventive measures do not begin and end with the school or its administration but rather, it should start at the child's home. For one, how come Solomon had access to the guns - it is assumed that his parents own the guns he used for the shooting? Parents should be first and foremost on the lookout for changes in their children and a healthy, loving and open communication atmosphere should be maintained at home in order to encourage children to talk about their problems. Solomon's parent could have "possibly" prevented the incident if they were more aware of what's going on with their son. An on-camera statement, given exclusively to CNN by Mae Dean Daniele, offered no explanation for Thursday's shootings by her son, Thomas "T.J." Solomon Jr. (CNN News, 1999). Solomon's mother stating such is no excuse because she as a parent, she should have been more attentive to how her son has been acting up prior to the event. AS the NMHA states, "Knowing how to talk with your child about school safety issues could be critical in recognizing and preventing acts of violence, and will play an important role in easing fear and anxieties about their personal safety (NMHA, 2006)." But like everything after the fact, it is difficult to second-guess the actions of people."
