America is a common law system, so you build cases and decisions by building the rationale for decisions on the arguments of Judges before you through the use of precedent.

So, Scalia and Stevens and others would want an argument to be based on the framers or previous decisions to show how established the idea is in American jurisprudence.

julia-pushkina [17]
Italian was not the official language of the Roman Empire and therefore is not a legacy, so this would be the incorrect answer. During the Pax Romana, there were many key inventions such as the systems of roads, tunnels and bridges being created all over the empire. Aqueducts were one of the biggest inventions, with some of them still working today. The achievements made in law during that time are still used for Civil Law today.

The frozen curtain was a symbol of the cold war. true or false
miskamm [114]
False.

The Iron Curtain was a symbol of the Cold War, not the frozen curtain. This name, developed by Winston Churchill, represented a metaphorical wall between Europe and the countries controlled by the Soviet Union. The Iron Curtain became a significant symbol of the Cold War, as it represented who were allies during this nearly forty year period during the middle of the 20th century.
