Law of Righting

Examples of Law of Righting in the following topics:

• Defining and Defending Property Rights

  • The four types of property rights are:
  • The concept of property rights are closely related to the law in terms of defending the rights.
  • There is a difference between an economist's view of property rights and the view of the law, but both work together to reach the final goal of securing and maintaining the rights.
  • However, the thief does not have legal property right to use the good - by law he is not permitted to have access to or use of the good.
  • Economics sets the property rights and the law is used to enforce the rights.

• Natural Rights

  • Natural rights are those that are not dependent on the laws, customs, or beliefs of any particular culture or government, and are therefore universal and inalienable (i.e., rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws).
  • Natural rights are closely related to the concept of natural law (or laws).
  • He objected to the attempt to derive rights from "natural law," arguing that law ("lex") and right ("jus") though often confused, signify opposites, with law referring to obligations, while rights refer to the absence of obligations.
  • Since by our (human) nature, we seek to maximize our well being, rights are prior to law, natural or institutional, and people will not follow the laws of nature without first being subjected to a sovereign power, without which all ideas of right and wrong are meaningless.
  • Such rights were thought to be natural rights, independent of positive law.

• Nationalizing the Bill of Rights

  • The Bill of Rights were included into state laws through selective incorporation, rather than through full incorporation or nationalization.
  • The incorporation of the Bill of Rights (also called the incorporation doctrine) is the process by which American courts have applied portions of the United States' Bill of Rights to the states.
  • Some argued that the Bill of Rights should be fully incorporated.
  • This is referred to as "total" incorporation, or the "nationalization" of the Bill of Rights.
  • Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black is noted for the complete nationalization of the Bill of Rights.

• The Law of Sines

  • The law of sines can be used to find unknown angles and sides in any triangle.
  • We will now discuss the law of sines, which allows us to solve for the angles and side lengths of any triangle.
  • To solve an oblique triangle, use any pair of applicable ratios from the law of sines formula.
  • We can use the following proportion from the law of sines:
  • Use the law of sines to solve problems with triangles of any configuration, as well as to transform trigonometric expressions

• Labor Laws

  • Labor law is the body of laws, administrative rulings, and precedents that address the legal rights and restrictions pertaining to workers and employers.
  • Both types of labor law define employment standards.
  • Labor laws arose from workers' demands for better working conditions and the right to organize (or, alternatively, the right to work without joining a labor union) and the simultaneous demands of employers to restrict the powers of workers' organizations and to keep labor costs low.
  • The basic feature of labor law is that the rights and obligations between the worker and the employer are mediated through the employment contract.
  • The Civil Rights Act of 1991 expanded the damages available to Title VII cases and granted Title VII plaintiffs the right to jury trial.

• The Right to Privacy

  • The Right to Privacy is a law review article written by Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis.
  • It is one of the most influential essays in the history of American law.
  • Finally, they conclude that the law of privacy extends beyond contractual principles or property rights.
  • Modern tort law includes four categories of invasion of privacy:
  • The Right to Privacy was published at the Harvard Law Review in 15 December, 1890.

• The Law of Cosines

  • The law of cosines can be used to solve for angles and sides of a triangle in cases where other laws do not apply.
  • Three formulas make up the Law of Cosines.
  • The Law of Cosines is a more general form of the Pythagorean theorem, which holds only for right triangles.
  • Notice that if any angle $\theta$ in the triangle is a right angle (of measure $90^{\circ}$), then $\cos \theta = 0$, and the last term in the Law of Cosines cancels.
  • Thus, for right triangles, the Law of Cosines reduces to the Pythagorean theorem:

• Employment Policy

  • United States labor law is a heterogeneous collection of state and federal laws.
  • Federal law also provides more limited rights for employees of the federal government.
  • Federal law establishes minimum wages and overtime rights for most workers in the private and public sectors; state and local laws may provide more expansive rights.
  • In most aspects, these two bodies of law overlap.
  • A number of states have enacted higher minimum wages and extended their laws to cover workers who are excluded under the FLSA or to provide rights that federal law ignores.

• The Rights of the Accused

  • Prohibiting blacks from attending plays or staying in inns was "simply a private wrong," provided, of course, that the state's law saw it as a wrong.
  • The rights of the accused, include the right to a fair trial; due process; the right to seek redress or a legal remedy; and rights of participation in civil society and politics such as freedom of association, the right to assemble, the right to petition, the right of self-defense, and the right to vote.
  • The theory of three generations of human rights considers this group of rights to be "first-generation rights", and the theory of negative and positive rights considers them to be generally negative rights.
  • Thomas Jefferson wrote in his 1774 A Summary View of the Rights of British America "a free people claim their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate. "
  • United States criminal procedure derives from several sources of law: the baseline protections of the United States Constitution, federal and state statutes, federal and state rules of criminal procedure (such as the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure), and state and federal case law either interpreting the foregoing or deriving from inherent judicial supervisory authority.

• Civil Law and Criminal Law

  • Criminal law is the body of law that relates to crime.
  • The law relating to civil wrongs and quasi-contract is part of civil law.
  • The objectives of civil law are different from other types of law.
  • In civil law there is the attempt to right a wrong, honor an agreement, or settle a dispute.
  • The law of most of the states is based on the common law of England; the notable exception is Louisiana.
