Answer:

Conflict theory centers on the economical and social factors that can cause crime and the inequality that comes from it.

Explanation:

Conflict theorists suggest that these factors have a <em>correlation between race and wealth. </em>They center on the idea that those with power and money can <em>influence what affects them</em> and can even <em>influence the law to their favor. </em>

In this case, the difference in the sentence for possession of cocaine or crack cocaine is the example of an unequal system.

Since the users of cocaine are typically more affluent and white, they have their means and hold the power for bending the law in their favor and reducing the sentence for possession. Unlike them, crack cocaine users tend to have less means and are generally a minority so they cannot bend the law in their favor.

True or False. Agrarian and slave states would not sign the Constitution unless the Slave &amp; Trade Act &amp; 3/5ths Compromis
scZoUnD [109]

Answer: True

Explanation:

When the Constitution was being drafted by the Convention, some Southern states such as Georgia and the Carolinas wanted their rights to have enslaved people protected by law.

As a result they refused to sign the Constitution unless it guaranteed that Congress would not ban slavery until the 19th century (Slave and Trade Act) and that when it came to Congressional representation, every 5 enslaved people would be counted as 3 people (3/5ths Compromise).

<span>It's false. Succession planning is a procedure to identify young employees who can replace older employees in key roles when they retire or die. This is extremely important in any place, but mostly in countries where the population is aging out and fertility rates are low, like China</span>
