The state trial court in nevada issued a decision in which a party was found guilty of fraud. Should a case arise in the future
bija089 [108]

The question is incomplete. This is the complete question:

The state trial court in Nevada has issued a decision in which a party has been found guilty of fraud. Should a case arise in the future with the same basic fact situation, Nevada courts will be bound by precedent to follow the reasoning and decision of this prior decision.

Answer:

No, should a case arise in the future with the same basic fact situation, Nevada state trial courts will not be bound by precedent to follow the reasoning and decision of this prior decision, because the decisions of trial courts do not use precedents or rulings established in previous legal cases to arrive at decisions on future disputes involving different or entirely new parties.

What are three historic landmark cases decided by the Supreme Court? Please name each case and briefly state the topic it dealt
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Marbury v. Madison (1803)

Issue: Who can ultimately decide what the law is?

Result: "It is explicitly the province and duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is."

Importance: This decision gave the Court the ability to strike down laws on the grounds that they are unconstitutional (a power called judicial review).

McCulloch v. Maryland (1819)

Issue: Can Congress establish a national bank, and if so, can a state tax this bank?

Result: The Court held that Congress had implied powers to establish a national bank under the "necessary and proper" clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Court also determined that United States laws trump state laws and consequently, a state could not tax the national bank.

Importance: The McCulloch decision established two important principles for constitutional law that continue today: implied powers and federal supremacy

Gibbons v. Ogden (1824)

Issue: Can states pass laws that challenge the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce?

Result: The Court held that it is the role of the federal government to regulate commerce and that state governments cannot develop their own commerce-regulating laws. Further, the Court created a wide definition for “commerce,” reasoning that the term encompassed more than just selling and buying. In this case, the Court determined that regulating water navigation was in fact an act that regulated commerce.

Importance: The impact of Gibbons is still felt today as it gives the federal government a much-broader base to regulate economic transactions.

How is the debate over the legalization of mari***** an issue of federalism?
Phoenix [80]

Answer: State Law vs Federal Law

For a very brief explanation, federally the "grass" is illegal. But in some states, it's legal for either recreational and medical use. According to Cornell law, "Federalism is a system of government in which the same territory is controlled by two levels of government. Generally, an overarching national government is responsible for broader governance of larger territorial areas, while the smaller subdivisions, states, and cities govern the issues of local concern." In the case of the "grass" the federal government has the broad rule of outlawing it, but the federal government makes no effort to enforce the federal rule, as the DOJ would not take up the case of simple possession. So it's left up to the states.
