"Unconstitutional" Alcohol Sales Prohibitions by US Cities
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the trend toward sharply restricting alcohol sales in cities for the purpose of restricting availability in narrow locations. Restricting alcohol sales by zoning and imposing time controls is not unconstitutional in action, but it certainly does oppose the intent of the Constitution and specifically the 21st amendment that repealed Prohibition in 1933. Citizens and local politicians alike need to ensure that their communities do not fall into the trap of "back-door" prohibition that already has been overruled by the 21st amendment.

A Historical Overview Of Prisoner's Rights
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Prisoners were not happy with the judicial hands-off policy as instituted by the 1871 Ruffin v. Commonwealth case. They did not appreciate being considered slaves of the state during the extent of their prison stay; however, they were not in a situation to rectify such policy. It is important for the student to realize that what ultimately sprung from judges' alleged indifference toward prisoners' civil rights was a re-examination of just how unconstitutional such inaction proved to be.
