Answer: Monetary Compensation

Explanation:

This question relates to the shipwrecked sailors Dudley and Stevens who killed and ate a fellow sailor named Brooks in order to survive the ordeal. A criminal case was brought by the state in <em>The Queen vs Dudley and Stephens</em> wherein they were sentenced to death but subsequently released after about 6 months.

If a Civil case had been brought against them, the Plaintiffs would be asking for monetary relief or compensation because in Civil Court the punishment is either monetary compensation or an order to the defendant to fulfil their obligation in the contract in dispute.

As Brooks was already dead, the only logical relief the plaintiffs could receive would be monetary compensation not unlike what OJ Simpson was ordered to pay the family of Ron Goldman when he was found liable for Goldman's murder in civil court.

sergejj [24]
In 1619 self-government was recognized in Virginia. This establishment was called as house of burgesses which became the first representative assembly in the american colonies. House of Burgesses is a representative assembly in colonial virgina which was the first elective governing body in a British overseas possession. The grouping was one separation of the government recognized by Gov. Yeardley at Jamestown in July 30, 1619 and some comprised the governor himself and a committee, all chosen by the colonial administrator because each Virginia clearance was permitted to designate two Burgess, the original membership of the House of Burgesses was 22. The broadly held assembly like the British house of commons settled supplies and originated laws and the governor and council appreciated the right of revision and veto, as did the king and the house of lords at home. The assembly also assembled as a supreme court to evaluate the region courts. This arrangement persisted unchanged until the american revolution.
