A person convicted of a third felony can be sentenced to life imprisonment based on<u> </u><u>three-strikes provision.</u>

As part of the Justice Department's anti-violence policy, habitual offender statutes, commonly referred to as three-strikes laws, have been in place in the United States since at least 1952.

For anyone convicted of an offense and who has one or two prior significant offenses, they demand a mandatory life term in prison, with or without parole, depending on the jurisdiction.

The three-strikes rule severely raises the jail terms of those who are found guilty of a felony after being previously convicted of two or more violent crimes or major felonies and restricts the possibility that they would not receive a life sentence.

The phrase "Three strikes and you're out" originated in baseball, where a batter who receives three strikes is out.

Which was a result of the British take over of the Dutch colony in North America
Sergio [31]

As part of their settlement of Manhattan, the Dutch purportedly purchased the island from the Native Americans for trade goods worth 60 guilders. More than two centuries later, using then-current exchange rates, a U.S. historian calculated that amount as $24, and the number stuck in the public’s mind. Yet it’s not as if the Dutch handed over a “$20 bill and four ones,” explained Charles T. Gehring, director of the New Netherland Research Center at the New York State Library. “It’s a totally inaccurate figure.” He pointed out that the trade goods, such as iron kettles and axes, were invaluable to the Native Americans since they couldn’t produce those things themselves. Moreover, the Native Americans had a completely different concept of land ownership. As a result, they almost certainly believed they were renting out Manhattan for temporary use, not giving it away forever. Due in part to such cultural misunderstandings, the Dutch repeatedly found themselves at odds with various Native American tribes, most notably in the brutal Kieft’s War of the 1640s. “The Dutch were instructed by their authorities to be fair and honest with the Indians,” said Firth Haring Fabend, author of “New Netherland in a Nutshell.” “But you can’t say they were much better [than the other European nations colonizing the Americas.] They were all terrible.”


Good Luck!

Is doing philosophy possible without engaging philosophical reflection? Why?​
schepotkina [342]

Explanation:

Not really. All 3 major branches of philosophy ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics involve the reflection of morality, science, religion. Searching for more knowledge and trying to obtain an understanding leads to a reflection in most cases. If you were studying for something and you got the answer wrong and then saw why you got it wrong, you are reflecting on your mistakes. In a similar way, searching for the understanding of an unanswered question will lead you to a possible answer that you will reflect on.

List and describe five important rights protected by the Fifth Amendment. Then choose one of these rights and briefly explain wh
NeX [460]

Answer:

The fifth amendment protects the following rights of each Citizen in the US.As it made it very easy for the system, as well for all the individuals to deal with the criminal trials and protection of ones possession inside the US.

  1. Not to punish any person twice on the bases of the same charges filed against them before or for the same offence made by the criminal(A prohibition on double jeopardy).
  2. As no one can be termed as criminal before he or she faces the grand jury or the court (Right to indictment by the grand jury before any criminal charges for felonious crimes).
  3. While a person is under trial he can't be forced to provide any evidence to help the system to prosecute the same person in a any case, as he can willingly provide some material or evidence only upon his will(A right against forced self-incrimination).
  4. Each individual who is facing some legal issues and is faced by the court or the system inside the US will be granted the right to go through a procedure of trial.As no one can be termed as criminal unless there are any number of true evidence or proofs been presented in the court(A guarantee that all criminal defendants have a fair trial).
  5. The System or The Government of the United States can't confiscate any citizen's property or land (possession of that individual), without the well of that individual. It can only be able to do so after both the parties agree on a set of terms. As the government is required to pay the required amount of money as per the market ( a guarantee that government cannot seize private property without making a due compensation at the market value of the property).

Explanation:

  • <u>" A guarantee that all criminal defendants have a fair trial":</u>

Logically it is also very unfair and inhumane to term any individual as a criminal with out having any trial set for that person. As a person can be punished or termed as a criminal by the system on proving the charges filed against him or her. As the individual will be required pass from a series of trials, after which if proved guilty by the grand jury and the court, he will be punished or simply jailed. Or else he will leave as an innocent.  

  • As before the fifth amendment was proposed and after it accepted to be included as a part of the constitution, there were some cases which were dealt in a very unfair way so, many of accusations were just baseless and with out having any trial for any accused, the system was able to term him as a criminal. As it was an ill treatment of the accused which led many to serve jail and more punishment in the early years.
