Common law evolves in part based on decisions in court cases.


"Common law" in English history was the body of precedents established by courts and procedures from the Middle Ages onward. It wasn't so much that there was a codified system of laws, but there were past practices and procedures that informed legal decisions to be made in the present. The American legal system still takes this sort of approach to law, letting past precedents inform decisions on new situations that arise.

Answer: high context Culture.

Explanation:The concepts of high context a refer to how people communicate in different cultures. Differences can be derived from the extent to which meaning is transmitted through actual words used or implied by the context.

High context usually implies a lot of unspoken information is implicitly transferred during communication. People in a high context culture such as Iraq tend to place a larger importance on long-term relationships and loyalty and have fewer rules and structure implemented. The following applies for a High Context Culture

-Indirect and implicit messages

-Polycrhonic

-Low use of non-verbal communication

-Use intuition and feelings to make decisions

-Long-term relationships

-Relationships are more important than schedule.

The other type of culture is the Low Context Culture as found in the US. The opposite of the High Context Culture traits applies here.

How was the segregation enforced in the north
defon

Answer:

After the United States abolished slavery, Black Americans continued to be marginalized through enforced segregated and diminished access to facilities, housing, education—and opportunities.

Explanation:

Racial segregation existed throughout the United States, North, and South. As one historian of segregation has written, "no reflective historian any longer believes" that Northern states were innocent of the historical crimes of slavery and later segregation. By the twentieth century, Jim Crow laws were not generally on the books of Northern states and cities (though they had been in the nineteenth century.) Nor were racial attitudes as hardened in Northern states as in the Jim Crow South. But segregation, and the racist assumptions that undergirded it, existed north of the Mason-Dixon line too. The difference between segregation in the two regions is usually summarized as "de facto" versus "de jure." Southern racial hierarchies were in fact rigidly enforced by laws that established inflexible boundaries, intended not just to segregate but to establish and maintain white supremacy. In Northern cities in particular, though, segregation was enforced by other means. Neighborhoods,
