The general rule is this: courts will not enforce illegal bargains. The parties are left where the court found them, and no relief is granted: it's a hands-off policy. The illegal agreement is void, and that a wrongdoer has benefited to the other's detriment does not matte
hope you like the answer
An illegal agreement under the common law of contract, is one that the court will not enforce because the purpose of the agreement is to achieve an illegal end. The illegal end must result from performance of the contract itself. The classic example of such an agreement is a contract for murder.
Answer:
The U.S court system is similar to the eyre institution. Justice can obtain a profit from the defendant if this is found guilty, the court takes his or her property. Also, they contribute to creating the common law from the hearing of pleas, which are taken into account when making the final decision.
Explanation:
The institution of eyre was created in England by the king to make sure that the king had control over the courts. If a person was found guilty, the court took his/her land, and the king obtained it as a profit. Besides, this institution helped to develop the common law in which the decisions that the jury and judge take in court are based on a set of unwritten and unacted rules that use common sense to reach a final decision.
Women in 10 states voted in 1871 and 1872, in defiance of state laws prohibiting women from voting. Most were prevented from voting. Some did cast ballots.
In Rochester, New York, almost 50 women attempted to register to vote in 1872. Susan B. Anthony and fourteen other women were able, with the support of election inspectors, to register, but the others were turned back at that step. These fifteen women then cast ballots in the presidential election on November 5, 1872, with the support of the local election officials in Rochester.
Answer:
- The mugging of the police officer: purposeful
- The theft/disappearance of the fingerprints: knowing or negligent
- The arson: purposeful or reckless
Explanation:
Mens rea means "a guilty mind" as is required to prove a crime, along with actus reus (the criminal act). A purposeful mens rea means a crime was intentionally commited. A negligent mens rea is the failure to do what a reasonable person would do. A knowing mens rea means the potential result of a criminal act (such as lending a gun to someone who intends to shoot another person). A reckless mens rea increases risk to others, like driving under the influence.
Together, actus reus and mens rea form the corpus delicti or, both the criminal act and guilty mind.
