The Alien And Sedition Acts :: essays research papers

The debate over the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 revealed bitter controversies on a number of issues that had been developing since the penning of the Constitution. The writers of the document knew that over time the needs of the nation and its people would change, and therefore provided for its amendment. But by not expressly delegating powers to specific organizations, whether the federal government, state governments, or the people themselves, they inadvertently created a major problem in the years to follow: Constitutional interpretation.Shortly after the Constitution's ratification, two distinct camps formed, each believing in opposite manners of interpretation. One group, the Federalists, led by the newly appointed Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, thought that the Constitution should be interpreted very loosely. He claimed that the Constitution contained powers other than those delegated or enumerated. These unspecified powers were implied powers. To explain these powers, Hamilton said it would be natural - or implied - that the federal government would gain control over any territory gained through conquest of purchase, although the Constitution made no mention of territorial control. In essence, Hamilton wished to use the implied powers to build a strong and authoritative central government.In 1789, the Minister to France Thomas Jefferson, to Francis Hopkinson of Pennsylvania, protesting that "I am not of the party of the federalists. But I am much farther from that of the anitfederalists." However, the situation was so sensitive that he could not help but chose a side. In 1795, Jefferson wrote to a congressman from Virginia, William Giles, that he "held "t honorable to take a firm and decided part." The group he sided with, the Democratic-Republicans, favored a strict interpretation. As their leader, Jefferson argued that all powers not enumerated by the Constitution belonged to the States. The basi s for his argument was the old English "compact" theory. This theory stated that various individuals, in this case the states, joined together in a formal agreement of government. Since the states had drawn up the contract and given power to the federal government, it should be up to them to decide who received the power, not the body they created.This debate over interpretation thus sparked one of the first and major issues that eventually led to the Alien and Sedition Acts: should a strong central government be formed (federalist desire), or should the individual states have control. And wild attacks of the ensuing debate also ignited the second issue, public defamation, which led to the Sedition Act.

Case against the Death Penalty

When the then United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan was presented with a petition containing 3. 2 million signatures from 146 countries for a worldwide moratorium on the death sentence, he had commented: â€Å"The forfeiture of life is too absolute, too irreversible, for one human being to inflict it on another, even when backed by legal process. And I believe that future generations, throughout the world, will come to agree. † (Gettings) The words of the former UN Secretary General were in fact an echo of the sentiments of the millions of signatories to the petition that was presented to him.The death sentence strikes at the core of human sensitivity and sensibility. The world is divided into almost two equal camps – one passionately in support and the other equally passionately against this extreme measure of censure in human history. Forty-seven percent Americans support the death penalty, while 48% would rather prefer life without payrole (Death Penalty Inform ation Centre). Both the camps present practical, logical and convincing arguments favoring their stand. Those who are against the death penalty believe that this extreme measure has minimum deterrent effect, violates the most fundamental of human rights, i.e. the right to life, is completely out of sync with civilized society and should be abolished outright and forthwith. Those who support the death penalty, on the other hand, do so because they hold that it acts as a major deterrent to heinous crimes, crimes committed by criminals who, according to them, not only do not deserve a place in society, but also lose the right to life. They have to die so that any chance of them repeating their crime and adding others to their list of victims is eliminated forever. The state, it is reasoned, takes the life to accord protection to future victims of the convicted.An objective analysis of the arguments for and against the death penalty however can only lead to the inevitable conclusion tha t the death penalty has no place in civilized society. Two very undeniable and universal facts override all arguments in support of the death penalty: the fundamental human right to life along with all its critical implications to the individual and to society, and the irrevocability and finality of the death sentence that takes away all probability of redemption or reconsideration at the face of the human nature to err.The Deterrent Factor Those who support the death penalty do so on the basis of the belief that it acts as a strong deterrent to crimes similar to those committed by the condemned. The facts and figures, however, tell a different story. In the United States, the south accounts for 80% of the total executions, yet it has the highest murder rate. However, the northeast, which has less than 1% of all executions, also has the lowest murder rate (Death Penalty Information Centre).The figures lend themselves to very straight forward interpretations: either the death penalty is failing miserably to act as a deterrent in the south or it has to be accepted that the citizenry of the south is inherently more murderous in nature or is simply more susceptible to murder. There are other figures that corroborate the fact that the death penalty does not actually result in a decrease in murder rates. In Canada, the death penalty was abolished in 1976. The homicide rate in the country started declining since 1975, and in 1999 the homicide rate was the lowest since 1967.An analysis by the New York Times in 2000 found that the homicide rates in the US states with the death penalty have been 48% to 101% higher than in states without the death penalty (John Howard Society of Ontario). An overwhelming 84% of the top criminologists of the United States have rejected the notion that the death penalty acts as a deterrent to murder (Radelet & Akers). The Amnesty International has also failed to find conclusive evidence that the death penalty has any unique capacity to det er others from committing similar crimes.In its survey of research findings on the relation between the death penalty and homicide rates conducted in 1998 and updated in 2002, it concluded that it was â€Å"not prudent to accept the hypothesis that capital punishment deters murder to a marginally greater extent than does the threat and application of the supposedly lesser punishment of life imprisonment. † (Hood 230) If deterrence implies that the condemned is rendered unable to repeat the crime and claim more victim, then it will also have to imply that the condemned would have repeated the crime if allowed to escape the death penalty.That can however be an assumption and an assumption only. And even if we assume that the condemned person would have indeed tried to repeat the crime, it would be possible only if the person is allowed the liberty and the opportunity to do so. Life imprisonment without parole would be a preferred alternative to the death penalty in such a case. Critics would however be quick to point out the financial implications of life imprisonment. Alternative means to incapacitate In practice, however, numerous studies have found that the cost of implementing a death penalty is much higher than the cost of maintaining a prisoner for life.There are many reasons why the death penalty is more expensive than life imprisonment without the possibility of parole (Capital Punishment Project): i. A much higher percentage of cases go to trial in case of death penalties. ii. Murder trials generally take longer when the death penalty is at issue. A capital murder trial lasts over 3. 5 time longer than non-capital murder trials (Cook & Slawson). Certain constitutional safeguards have to be taken in the case of death penalty trials leading to greater time requirement. The Jury selection procedure is also more complex and tedious and takes more time.iii. Death penalty trials require more intense pretrial preparations and more elaborate proceedings. The sentencing phase almost amounts to a second trial. All litigation costs, more often than not, have to be borne by the tax payer. The Joint Legislative Budget Committee of the California Legislature has concluded that â€Å"elimination of the death penalty would result in a net savings to the state of at least several tens of millions of dollars annually, and a net savings to local governments in the millions to tens of millions of dollars on a statewide basis. † (Budget Committee)It is therefore amply clear the life imprisonment without parole is a comparatively cheaper and equally effective alternative to the death penalty, but imposed the same degree of incapacitation on the condemned on the individual level. The May 2006 Gallup Poll (in the United States) found that overall support for the death penalty was 65% (down from 80% in 1994). The same poll revealed that when respondents are given the choice of life without parole as an alternate sentencing option, more choos e life without parole (48%) than the death penalty (47%). (John Howard Society of Ontario)Irreversibility of the Death Penalty The intrinsic weakness of the death penalty as a justifiable measure lies in the fact that it is irreversible and irrevocable. Numerous examples bear testimony to the fact that even the highest judicial system of any country can make mistakes, that innocent persons have been dealt the death penalty time and again, that persons on the death row had been granted last minute reprieve when their innocence had been proved. Studies reveal that more than 200 people have been wrongfully convicted of serious crimes such as murder and rape in California alone since 1989 (Martin).In the United States, 123 persons have been exonerated and released from death row since 1973 (Death Penalty Information Center). A 1980s study in the United States identified 353 cases since the turn of the century of wrongful convictions for offences punishable by death and 25 innocent perso ns were actually executed (John Howard Society of Ontario). The death penalty leaves no scope for errors in judgment. If a person is found to be innocent after the sentence has been carried out, there is no way in which the wrong can be undone.Unlike in other cases, the option for compensation for a wrong done is also completely ruled out in the case of the death penalty. It is therefore assumed that the state and the judicial mechanism are infallible, that there can be no mistakes. The facts have proved this assumption wrong. The core issue of human rights The most damning case against the death penalty is that it is an infringement on the most fundamental of all human rights – the right to life. A death penalty is imposed in the name of the state. But does the state actually have the right to deprive a person of his or her life?It could be a dangerous proposition even to believe so. Hitler’s Germany believed in the absolute right of the state. The consequences mark a very dark period in the history of humankind. Are we tempting fate again by according the state the right to impose and execute the death penalty? In the December 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, nations of the world came together to ensure the fundamental rights of every person. These human rights were not subject to the will of the state, but were declared to be inherent in every human being. It was not the state’s prerogative to grant or withdraw the human rights.The fundamental human rights therefore put limitations on what a state may do to a person. The Universal declaration recognizes each person’s right to life. The death penalty is therefore a fragrant violation of human rights. Human rights preserve the dignity of the individual. There can be no justification inhuman and cruel treatment and punishment that degrades the essence of humanity. The death penalty inflicts the most severe kind of mental and physical torture not only on the condemned, but also on al those who are related to the condemned. Every member of the society also has to own responsibility as a constituent unit of the state.In fact, the broader understanding of human rights issue has been the basis of abolition of the death penalty in many countries. In 1995, Spain abolished the death penalty on the grounds that the death penalty simply could not be fitted into the penal system of advanced and civilized societies, that depriving a person of life was too degrading or afflictive a punishment (Hood 14). The South African Constitutional Court (154) in its historic opinion when banning the death penalty commented that the death penalty violated the right to life and dignity which is the most important of all human rights.And by banning the death penalty, the state was effectively demonstrating the fact. Countries such as Singapore and Trinidad and Tobago have had to deny that the death penalty was a violation of human rights in order to carry on with their practic e of the death penalty. However, the fact that the death penalty is a critical human rights issue has gained increasing acceptance at the international level. In 1997, the U. N. High Commission for Human Rights approved a resolution stating that the â€Å"abolition of the death penalty contributes to the enhancement of human dignity and to the progressive development of human rights.† (12) Subsequent resolutions strengthened this resolution by restricting the offences for which the death penalty could be imposed, eventually leading to abolition. The member states of the Council of Europe have established Protocol 6 to the European Council on Human Rights advocating the abolition of the death penalty. On the same grounds, the European Union had made the abolition of the death penalty a precondition for entry into the Union. This had resulted in the halting of executions in many east European countries such as Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Serbia, Montenegro and Turkey which had applied for membership to the Union.Not an eye for an eye Proponents of the death penalty attempt to justify their stand on the principle of lex talionis or ‘eye-for-an-eye’ which advocates that violence must in some measure be answered by violence or that the punishment should fit the crime. They believe that such retribution serves justice to murder victims and their survivors. Robert Blecker of the New York Law School testified: â€Å"Naturally grateful, we reward those who bring us pleasure. Instinctively resentful, we punish those who cause us pain. Retributively, society intentionally inflicts pain and suffering on criminals because and to the extent that they deserve it.But only to the extent they deserve it†¦. Justice, a moral imperative in itself, requires deserved punishment. † Just as the individual do not have the right to kill, society also should not be empowered to kill. The retribution theory would dictate that the rapist be raped and the hou se of the arsonist be set on fire. Such a policy would go against the basic tenets of justice. If violence can be justified by violence than it follows that every act of violence whether perpetuated by the state or the individual would be justifiable on some ground or the other.Retribution in kind would bring the state down to the level of the criminal. There would then be no distinction between the dispenser of the law and the one who violates it. Discriminatory Applications The extent of misuse of the death penalty is another reason that calls for its abolition. In the political context, the death penalty has often been used to eliminate opponents and suppress popular uprisings. Here, the question of fairness in making the judgment becomes a very subjective one.What is punishable by death for one political regime could very well be deemed a heroic act of valor for another. The labeling of the act therefore depends very much on the actors and the circumstances and the environment i n which they operate. That is the reason why people who are executed are often subsequently turned into martyrs. It happened in Hitler’s Germany, in India and in South Africa. It is happening in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Serbia and in many other places wherever two groups of people look at the world with conflicting perspectives. Take the example of Saddam Hussien.Richard Dicker’s, director of Human Rights Watch’s International Justice Program, was a rational voice when he said , â€Å"Saddam Hussein was responsible for massive human rights violations, but that can’t justify giving him the death penalty, which is a cruel and inhuman punishment. † (Human Rights Watch) A November 2006 report by Human Rights Watch pointed out numerous serious flaws in the trial of Saddam Hussein. Among other defects, the report found that Iraqi government actions had all along undermined the Iraqi High Tribunal and threatened its independence and perceived impartiality .Handing Saddam Hussein the death penalty has been viewed by a large section of the world as a measure made necessary by the prevailing political and military situation rather than a quest for justice. There is also a very strong view in the United States that the application of the death sentence is racially discriminatory. Studies have been conducted to examine the relationship between race and death penalty in all the states that where the death penalty is still active.The Capital Punishment Project reports that 96% studies found a pattern of either race-of-victim or race-of-defendant discrimination. Of those executed since 1976, approximately 35% have been black, even though blacks constitute only 12% of the population. It has been found that the odds of receiving a death sentence are almost four times higher if the defendant is black. The Amnesty International has also asserted that races does have an impact on capital punishment, and that the judicial system of the United Stat es have been able to do precious little about it.Amnesty International has attributed this failure of the courts and legislatures of the USA to act decisively at the face of evidence that race has an impact on the death sentence to a collective ‘blind faith’ that America will never waver on the ‘non-negotiable’ demands of human dignity including ‘equal justice. ’ Even if the death penalty was justifiable, there is compelling evidence that its implementation falls far short of the standards of fairness expected. There is a tendency to use this extreme measure as an intimidating factor by the powerful forces of the world to assert themselves and to wrongfully dominate and suppress others.The world is coming around The good news is that the world at large is coming together to prove that the death penalty is an unacceptable proposition. The United Nations has declared itself in favour of abolition. Two-thirds of the countries of the world have now abolished the death penalty in law or in practice. In the United States itself, 13 states are now without the death penalty. The latest information from Amnesty International shows that: i. 90 countries and territories have abolished the death penalty for all crimes; ii. 11 countries have abolished the death penalty for all but exceptional crimes such as wartime crimes;iii. 30 countries can be considered abolitionist in practice: they retain the death penalty in law but have not carried out any executions for the past 10 years or more and are believed to have a policy or established practice of not carrying out executions, iv. a total of 131 countries have abolished the death penalty in law or practice, v. 66 other countries and territories retain and use the death penalty, but the number of countries which actually execute prisoners in any one year is much smaller. The debate over capital punishment has raged on long enough. The world is finally showing the door to the death penal ty.In doing so, it is stating in no uncertain terms that the sanctity of life of a fellow human being is above the purview of all man-made laws. That only the giver of life has the right to take it back. Works Cited 1.

The Effects Of Smoking On Teens Ability On Learning

Introduction Smoking has been a controversial topic ever since the 20th century. According to U.S Department of Health and Human, smoking has been recognized as the leading preventable cause of death in the United States in which 443,000 deaths are caused by intended active smoke and passive second-hand smoke each year. In addition, smokers are considered to be more likely to develop many diseases including coronary heart disease, respiratory disease, and lung cancer, and therefore tobacco use costs the country more than â€Å"$289 billion a year, including at least $133 billion in direct medical care for adults and more than $156 billion in lost productivity†. Smoking is controversial not only because of its damage to people’s body physically, but also because of the social problems it causes. Some studies have shown that smoking affects people especially teens’ ability on learning. For example Hunter et al. (1986) claims that long-term cigarette smoking reduces adolescent s’ reaction time and ability to concentrate, which is believed to weaken students’ learning ability. As a result, it is more likely for those teens that are distracted by smoking and weakened learning ability to drop out of high school. High school drop out is not only a personal issue; it also affects the society in numerous ways. For example, dropping out of high school would result in low lifetime income, and low lifetime income would cause reduced amount of tax the government can collect.

How Entrepreneurship Has An Effect On The Economy Of India

In the 21st century Entrepreneurship is one of the fundamental driving variable in job development. Entrepreneurship has dependably had a variable in monetary advancement and has assisted with job creation. Be that as it may, in the present time it has quickened like never before. Entrepreneurship is favorable for the development of a country’s economic system for various reasons. Business enterprise has been surprisingly resurgent in the course of recent decades in nations that accomplished generous poverty diminishment, for example, in China. Third, benefactors and global advancement organizations have swung to entrepreneurship to enhance the efficiency and supportability of assistance.

The Utilization Of Online Networking - 1621 Words

Health Behavior Change for Mobile Technologies and Telecommunication

Question: Discuss about theHealth Behavior Change for Mobile Technologies and Telecommunication. Answer: Health behavior change through mobile technologies, telecommunication, and telemedicine Introduction Access to medical care associated with behavioral change is the most difficult in Australia concerning other forms of health care services. It is even more problematic when it comes to the uninsured and the under-insured people. Depression makes a major number of individuals to visit health centers necessitating the need for teleconsultation and telemedicine. It is a way provided accessibility by medical institutions especially to the people located in a rural area where long distances offer a large limitation to accessing health care. Other factors that necessitated the use of mobile technology in behavioral health change is to enhance consultations and client encounters especially in urban areas. The process of telehealth facilitates communication of health personnel in different institutions. The federal government of Australia only provides health care funding primary health care requirements of the citizen but not such specialty care that is mainly directed behavioral health cha nge linked with depression(Modu, 2017). Acceptance of the program by the publics has been reported to be widespread across all forms of clients. The problem of patient fearing a face to face meeting with a medical staff has been eliminated entirely since the inclusion of mobile technologies to support behavioral health care. Patients have attained an additional comfort through these use. Telehealth techniques such as video conferencing are among the forms that have increased behavioral health care accessibility. Another influence associated with acceptability is in the part of the health staff who are reported to taking up the technological application in their services(Albright, 2017). There are two forms of teleconsultation and teleconsultation fields of behavior change. Firstly, a behavioral health specialist can participate in video conferencing sessions with a patient, and this type is widely known as the encounter. The other form is the consultation which involves a non-behavioral specialist participates in distant consultation with a behavioral specialist to converse on how to tackle a medical client with depression. The query form is the most widely used as compared to encounters. The two approaches have been initiated alongside with network security programs. The acceptability by patients and their successful outcomes of telemedicine, teleconsultation and the mobile technologies in behavioral health care have testified a similarity with physical health center visits making it the most successful telehealth application among a range of health services(Kumar, 2017). The rationale of mobile technologies, telecommunication, and telemedicine in health behavior change. The initiation of the program has supported health care in behavior modification in the country for the past five decades. It started with popularity in consultation before getting an immense appeal through the continuous series of evolution that has sped up the pick by most of the medical staff. The prices of acquiring, installing and maintaining the technology equipment. The development of mobile technologies brings about the integration of a varied range of technical services like the famous client charts. There is yet a slow growth in adoption because its use has not passed two-thirds of all the medical professionals and patients in the country. The distress of patients is also handled faster reducing relapse events. There is a quick opportunity to consult with behavioral health specialists concerning the health issues of their patients. The association of health practitioners identified the worth of the technology health providers as an increase in service access and efficiencie s through saving of huge amounts of cost and time(Modu, 2017). At times travel time is wholly eliminated for both the patients and staff. It is easier for professionals both working as full-time and part-time workers can form useful clinical teams through video conferencing. The staff is enabled to collaborate through the virtual meetings and get connected at different sites. Improved delivery behavioral health care Health care delivery has been made more efficient by supporting the system on the move to collaboration and integration of approaches. It provides the clinic teams with unseen strength and thus enhances relations within and across groups. Wireless mobile technologies provide the value of coordination and have reduced the high reliance on web-based systems and the landline ones. Non-specialists staff has expanded their access to a broad spectrum of behavior change health specialists. Convening of consultation sessions has been eased between the leading health care providers spread it all parts of the country and the behavior change experts who are fewer and physical meetings used to be disrupting the medical sector for an extended period. Mobile technology enables the management of referrals. Indicator information regarding behavior change issues is widely available for both the specialists and non-specialists in telemedicine systems. Expansion in staff capacity Staff mobility is made easier. The freedom in health care providers enables provision of services without the limitations brought about by distance and also offer in-between services. The staff who opt to work as part-time can be tapped by multiple numbers of health care centers from a remote place. The increase in availability also makes use of part-time behavioral change service providers at times like shortly during lunch(Schoenberg, 2017). Training opportunities have been enhanced Primary health and specialist behavior care staff can hold remote training sessions with a devotion to sharing ideas, views, and best practices. The training sessions have been reported to enhance skills and expertise within a health institution and over the whole country with time(Valentino, 2017). High client acceptance Technology acceptance in the behavior change health is taking an overwhelming acceptability rapidly against the traditional odds that recognition differs with regions. It has provided an effective means to do away with the patient fear of not accessing services at individual health centers. Most depression clients fear to access services far from their neighborhood. The patient population who are either deaf, crippled or have other physical challenges have been accommodated in medical system(Wells, 2017). The behavior change health practitioners are getting a higher priority for handling emergency options. About 30% of all behavior change issues are handled via the technologically enabled system. Cost saving Telemedicine, teleconsultation and mobile health technologies of behavior change offer effective cost cutting measures. Events of patient degeneration have substantially declined with technology application. Medical professionals are enabled to quickly counseling services via video conferencing giving a better intervention of the inconvenience of at-side meetings. Travel costs are also saved by system application. Technology costs of building telemedicine facility sites have dropped in the recent past due to increased accessibility(Modu, 2017). Assessing of readiness Several preliminaries have to be put in place to set up and implement a mobile technology health system. The needs, interests, and resources have to be assessed to establish the viability the environment. Fitness The first step is to how the application fits with the mission of a health institution, the services, and the population. The exploration has to focus on establishment leadership and their strategic plan. An organization should select a leader to lead the investigation on the suitability of the system. The leader will bring along the people in the review so that the system is lined with the plans of an institution(Martinez, 2017). Assessment investigates the delivery of behavior care services. The suitability of resources regarding resources. When the suitability is rated to be contrary, necessary adjustments need to be put in place. An appropriate information technology capacity will then be set up and then investigate on the current problem. After the analysis of the situation, the board should be counted on to provide the required input. The feedback will show interest regarding the matter. The leadership should give the board of the institution an orientation of the necessity of the new system. A negative inclination of the board can even necessitate a halt for a short time until improvement in technology-enhanced with programs seeking newer ways of delivering behavior change health service(Lima, 2016). Assessment of interest, potential scaling and benefits need to be more detailed. Current operational activities of the available system and the health institution must be matched with the necessity of an information system. The highest areas of need will be determined to establish business efficiency. Is the system fit for the clinic? Among other areas of assessment are the partners who will be available for referrals. Cost options are vital so that the whole funding sources established to take the process to the end. The leadership role is to create partnerships and seek sources of finance. The policies, procedures, and plans of work of the organization should be adjusted by the leaders to fit the technological world. The people in the association have to be analyzed according to their specification to find those who will be managing and work with the system(Kumar, 2017). It is not necessary to start up big but find a system that is within the budget of the organization and also have the functionalities that are required. A scalability option must be appropriated in the first system so that upgrade is just made to include more developments instead of the whole system going outdated(Kirschner, 2017). The staff should be availed with comprehensive plan to work along with their responsibilities and roles. Time is a crucial factor in planning to set transition period and the processes that are required. A mentor is someone who will guide the setting up of the behavior change program. The mentor may have frequent visits to review the effectiveness of implementation and performance. He/she is the one to identify the appropriate system because the market offers are unlimited and without proper guidance, the loss will be incurred instead of benefits. The transfer of knowledge will be west in areas where the competition of entities is minimal. So, a mentor opted for should not be working with a competing directly(Kijpokin, 2014). Laws and regulations. Health informatics is complicated and governed by strict licensing laws and liabilities. The industry has specific licensing and reimbursement deliberations(Devi, 2017). Firstly, medical information has high levels of privacy and confidentiality. Information of the patients transmitted in the system whether online of offline stands a risk of unauthorized access. The laws available are stately and of the federal government. State laws are more stringentthan the national legislation (Chadha, 2017). Clear laws on behavioral change health are laid out in the health information portability and accountability act and the information technology law for clinical health. From a broad perspective, permit guides the process of getting started. The health accreditation must be attained to get the privileges of either providing direct behavior change patients services of consultation with direct service providers. Another important point to be noted is the acquisition of cross-state licenses. The area is difficult because states have varying stipulations. Insurance for liability coverage must be acquired in line with the federal law. After compliance with all the requirements of the governing rules, the process will now be outlaid(Albright, 2017).
