What is the difference between plaintiffs and defendants in a civil trial and plaintiffs and defendants

History
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<h3>In a civil trial, the defendant is always the person who is accused the crime. </h3><h3>In a criminal trial, the defendant is always the person who is accused of the crime. </h3><h3>In a criminal trial, the plaintiff is always the U.S. government.</h3>

Explanation:

  • All the above three cases apply to the difference between plaintiffs and defendants in a civil trial and plaintiffs and defendants  in a criminal trial in a federal case except for the last case i.e., in a civil trial, the plaintiff is always the U.S. government.
  • It is because in a civil trial, a private party/individual can sue another party/individual in matters of their own concern such as tort cases or breach of contracts. Thus, the plaintiff can be anyone or any private party  who sought civil relief from the defendant. It does not necessarily has to be the U.S government.

Why did tensions escalate between Israel and Egypt in 1952?
Nikitich [7]
The correct answer is <span>D. The president of Egypt blocked Israeli ships from accessing the Suez Canal. 

The president of Egypt announced that the Canal would no longer be neutral ground, open for all, and that it would slowly become nationalized and used to the benefit of Egypt. As they disliked Israel they banned Israeli ships from passing through the canal which was a huge strike to their economy since trading revolved around the canal.</span>

Summarize how rome defeated hannibal.
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Hannibal made one major tactical error: He did not attack and capture Rome when he had the opportunity.

Hannibal conducted his operations in Italy not as one campaign in a larger war but as the only campaign in the only war. He seemed to hold to the conviction that if he won enough battles, he would win Italy. And if he won Italy, victory over the Roman people would be his. Battles are the means to a strategic end, not ends in themselves. Hannibal was a sworn enemy of the Romans and he let his emotions cloud out that fact when he launched the second Punic War. He could win every battle, but he did not apply those battles to wining the war.

There seemed to be some confusion between tactics and strategy in his mind. This caused him to commit a number of operational failures that led to his eventual defeat in Romes heartland.

The Carthaginian senate had failed to send him critical supplies and troops when most needed. He had severe logistical problems. Tactics win battles, logistics win wars. There was no good reason why supply transports could not have gotten through to Hannibal.

Moronically, Carthage’s strategic shift away from Italy after Cannae came at a time when Hannibal’s momentum was at its full. Cannae was an absolutely devastating defeat for the Romans. Politics.

Hannibal was eventually called back to Carthage because of the military failures of his compatriots. The Romans had pushed into Carthaginian territory, and they needed reinforcements.

B. chief examiner. 

A chief examiner would be someone or something else unrelated entirely. Perhaps a police chief or a medical examiner are the closest to a "chief examiner" anything.
