President Obama's first inauguration was held during the depths of the Great Recession. The situation was dire; the economy had lost nearly 3.6 million jobs in 2008 and was shedding jobs at a nearly 800,000 per month rate when he took office.
I'll review each statement and explain why it is true or false.
1. FALSE. The Roosevelt Corollary was issued in response to the Venezuela Crisis of 1902-1903.
2. TRUE. It added to the Monroe Doctrine, created in 1823 with the purpose of opposing European colonialism in North and South America.
3. TRUE. The US was allowed to intervene indebted Latin American countries such as Dominican Republic and order the customs house to be given to the US negotiators as a means to pay. This was known as the "Dollar Diplomacy".
4. FALSE. The Roosevelt Corollary was a manifestation of the "Big Stick Diplomacy" in Latin America.
5. TRUE. According to the corollary, the US was to intervene as a means to defend Latin America from the Europeans.
6. TRUE. Britain, Germany and Italy imposed a naval blockade as Venezuelan President Cipriano Castro refused to pay debts and damages suffered by Europeans citizen in the Venezuelan Civil War.
This is a gross over-simplification. By the time of the Revolution, the only tangible thing all the states really had in common was that they wanted freedom from Britain.
The answer is: that evidence seized illegally cannot be used in a criminal trial.
<em>The Miranda rights</em> ( also known as Miranda warning ) is an oral notification given to a person in police custody. That person is usually accused of committing a crime or criminal offence.
The accused is given the right to remain silent, meaning they can refuse to answer any questions or give information to law enforcement officials. They also have the right to have an attorney present during their interrogation. If they can not afford one, <em>the court will appoint an attorney for them. </em>
The Miranda warning is only given if the individual in question is about to be interrogated, and not if arrested only.
This warning was established as part of the Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. Any evidence obtained from an accused person without them being given the Miranda rights can not be used as evidence in court.
Miranda v. Arizona was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1966. It ruled that statements made by the defendant in an interrogation would only be admissible at trial if the individual was aware of his rights ( silence, attorney ), and that the individual understood the rights and voluntarily agreed to them.
