Why does Louisiana use a civil law system?

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

Why did blacklisted union members have trouble finding jobs after the Pullman strike?
pentagon [3]

The correct answer is D. They were viewed by potential employers as troublemakers.

Explanation:

The Pullman strike took place in 1894 as hundreds of workers of the Pullman company created a Union, and began a strike to show their opposition to certain working conditions such as previous wage reductions and excessive control. These strikes were responded with violence and some of the protesters were even killed.

Also, after the strike ended, many workers of the union were charged for organizing and promoting the strike. Besides this, some were blacklisted, and this caused the workers to have difficulties finding new jobs as employers believed they could promote strikes in their companies, and therefore were considered troublemakers.

Do you think that government representatives truly represent the people or are they more interested in taking care of themselves
WITCHER [35]
I solely believe that the government does not represent the people that we were built to be. I feel that they only care for the money and power that they all have, and do not care for us. The government's job is to represent the people, and when we have government restrictions they are truly not representing the way we should be. We are a democracy, that was built on the people, and is represented by the people. <span />
