Common Law The Common Law, also known as Anglo-American Law, surfaced in England during the Middle Ages in the 14th century and was spread all over the world with the British colonies. Although England had numerous connections to the rest of Europe in those times, one thing that was not similar was the use of judicial decisions as the foundation of common law.

the American Indians. This was a responsibility that has been implied as well as put through law process due to the land and resources that were taken away from the Native Americans many years ago.

INTRODUCTION Lynchings, the KKK cross burnings, and slavery, are some of the most obvious acts of racism in American history. However, racism isn’t always this obvious. It’s all around us and everywhere we go. Some racism is subtler now that we’ve moved past slavery and the Jim Crow laws.

Citizens live under a social contract whereby individuals agree to forfeit certain rights for the good of the whole. Punishments for crimes against the state are carried out via due process, guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. The use of capital punishment is decided by the state, which is legal in thirty-seven states. It is a moral imperative to protect the states' rights
Charles II to the British throne in 1660. The American Puritans clearly understood that God's word applies to all of life. Their exemplary lives and faith, contrary to popular myths, are a highpoint of Christian thinking. Puritan legal history specifies some of their loyalties and compromises. Today, scholars continue their dispute over the degree to which the Puritan colonists influenced American law, morality, and culture.

Having more Asian-American presence on the police force will not only help solve the aforementioned violent crimes, but it could also break down a preexisting mentality that American police officers are corrupt, unhelpful, and untrustworthy (Hanser & Gomila, 2015).

In American society, which includes a multitude of variance in the population regarding ethnicity, race, and religion etc., the emergence of multiple contrasting opinions dealing with the dispute of such a fragile topic as abortion comes as no surprise.

Thomas Paine, in his “Common Sense,” explored these ideas of justice and freedom while he explains the need for liberty in the “present state of America;” in which “Nothing is

Michael Pearce Pfeifer in "Abandoning Error: Self-Correction by the Supreme Court," states the impact of Roe v. Wade on morals: Seldom, if ever, has a single Supreme Court decision so decisively transformed American constitutional history or so altered the relationship between law and morals - both public and private.
