Answer:

it would likely overturn the punitive damage award as grossly excessive

Explanation:

Melissa's tugboat accidentally collides with Tyler's yacht, and Tyler sues Melissa for negligence. A federal jury finds Melissa liable and awards Tyler $5,000 in compensatory damages as well as $50 million in punitive damages. Melissa appeals to the United States Supreme Court, challenging the punitive damages award. If the Supreme Court heard the case, it would likely overturn the punitive damage award as grossly excessive because punitive damage are awarded if the compensatory damage are deem inadequate remedy and are awarded both to deter the defendant and others from conduct similar to the conduct that gave rise to the lawsuit.

Answer:

In some cases (for example, that of the Talensi), an independent community or chiefdom was aware that others like it shared the same culture and social structure, and there were occasional common rituals that brought independent communities together. In other cases (for example, the Dagaba), political and cultural boundaries were not sharp, and there was no sense that an ethnic group included some communities and excluded others, although shifting distinctions were made based on various cultural traits. In the case of the Dagaba, the most important or recurrent of these distinctions seemed to be, and in the mid-twentieth century continued to be, whether inheritance was exclusively determined in the patrilineal line or, at least in part, followed the matrilineal line.
