Answer:The answer is c not liable for defamation because Peony enjoys a privilege

Explanation:

The legislators while leading a debate on the floor of the legislative house usually enjoys a form of immunity known as absolute immunity which protect them from being prosecuted for whatever statement they made while on the floor of the legislative house. This immunity from prosecution for statement made on the floor of the house is given in order to ensure that their prosecution do not affect the smooth process of operations of the house. Therefore, the statement made by representative Peony which damaged senator Rose good reputation cannot be contested in the court of law because of the immunity which representative Peony enjoys which protect him from being prosecuted for statement he made during a debate on the floor of the house.

OLga [1]

Answer: Madison will not prevail because not every decision that is arbitrary or unfair is discrimination.

Explanation:

Based on the issues discussed in the question, if Madison files a complaint of racial discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission(EEOC), it is highly unlikely that Madison will prevail based on the facts that were presented in this summary.

Madison already made a complaint to Renee who told her that she gave Sally the job because they are friends and she needed a better job after her divorce. There's no issue regarding discrimination in what happened on this case.

How has the sentence for felony murder for minors changed over time?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

ust about anyone who sat through ninth grade Civics class can tell you that the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.  But what exactly is cruel and unusual in contemporary American society?  Public executions have been outlawed since 1936. No one has been executed by hanging or firing squad since 1996 (with the exception of Ronnie Lee Gardner, who was famously executed in 2010–despite a 2004 mandate by the Utah legislature to halt firing squad executions–because of his choice to be “grandfathered” under the old system[1]), and, with a few exceptions, the comparatively humane method of lethal injection is widely used in the thirty-four states in which the death penalty has not been abolished.[2]

Answer:

If the official treaty of the declaration of intemperance isn't multiplied by the diameter of the radius x would be 46 and be subtracted by i.

Explanation:

Lemme break It down to you on foe nem

If the quadrilateral starts in the circumference of the radius the convention source of law wouldn't be able to be multiplied by 6 x 2q unless it is stuck under a bush where I hide my squirrels at.

Other than that you would only get the 42 minus x equals 89 if the declaration independence qualifies as 22986.
