History
2 answers:
Novosadov [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

Napoleon. The legal system in Louisiana—unlike that of any other state—derives from the Civil Code established by the French emperor in 1804. ... In theory, a judge in Louisiana decides a case based on her own interpretation of the code, not those of prior courts

Explanation:

Louisiana is the only Civil law jurisdiction in the United States. Louisiana gets its Civil law legal system from its colonial past as a possession of two Civil law countries, Spain and France. It may be better to think of Louisiana's legal system as a hybrid consisting of both Civil and Common law influences

Most presidents are in favor of the line-item veto because it gives them more power over _____.
elixir [45]
<span>The correct answer is federal spending. It's a great thing for regulating federal spending because it can be used to nullify and veto only specific parts of legislature without vetoing the entire legislature pack. This way you can only ban the part that would increase spending, but you wouldn't ban the entire law from being voted.</span>

Why does Walter Lord wait so long to include the quotation, We hit an iceberg-there it is! In his account?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

He wasn't sure what really happened.

Explanation:

Walter Lord was among those involved in the wreck of a large ship known as Titanic.

It was made known that, the six lookouts, that was the people monitoring the movement and watching the route the ship was following, did not known that the side of the ship had hit the iceberg because they saw that the front of the ship was okay.

This did not make them to raise the alarm until the ship was beginning to sink.

That was why also, Walter Lord was reluctant or delay to add the quotation to his account.
