Answer:

Patty may win based on the doctrine of promissory estoppel.

Explanation:

The doctrine of promissory estoppel is a legal principle that helps enforce a promise, even if it was made without formal consideration. This happens when the person that was promised something and makes a decsion based on this promise that ends badly because the promise was not upheld. In this case, Patty quit her job because she thought her uncle was going to pay her $200 per month. Because her uncle only paid her one out of the six months, she is without $1000 that she was counting on to focus on her studies.

Why are 3rd parties important to the u.s political system? in other words, why do we have 3rd parties?
Trava [24]
<span>Third parties face many obstacles in the United States. In all states, the Democratic and Republican candidates automatically get on the ballot, whereas third-party candidates usually have to get thousands of signatures on petitions just to be listed on the ballot. The state and federal governments, which make rules governing elections, are composed of elected Democratic and Republican officials, who have a strong incentive to protect the existing duopoly. Also, third-party candidates often face financial difficulties because a party must have received at least 5 percent of the vote in the previous election in order to qualify for federal funds.</span>

mojhsa [17]
 They were growing tensions because the Christians only believed in 1 god, monotheism, and the Romans believed in more than 1 god, polytheism, so the Romans treated the Christians horribly.
