Answer:

It was held by the Court that parts of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 were unconstitutional because they exceeded the powers granted to Congress under the Commerce Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.

Explanation:

In 1994, Christy Brzonkala alleged that she was raped by Antonio Morrison and James Crawford, in which she filed a complaint under Virginia Tech's Sexual Assault Policy. While Morrison was later found guilty with immediate suspension of two semesters, and Crawford was not punished. Brzonkala later filed another complaint against Morrison, Crawford and Virginia Tech in Federal district court, alleging that, Morrison's and Crawford's attack violated 42 USC section 13981, part of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA), which provides a federal civil remedy for the victims of gender-motivated violence.

However, Morrison and Crawford, moved to dismiss Brzonkala's suit on the ground that section 13981's civil remedy was unconstitutional

aksik [14]

Linear Perception. Railroad tracks appear to converge in the distance. This provides a cue for the depth perception, known as Linear Perception.

Explanation:

In simple words, we can define the linear perception as a perception in which two parallel lines seem to be converging at a point. This convergence of lines give an illusion of depth and distance. Linear perception can be observed in painting or drawings as well as in the real world. Some real life examples of Linear convergence are:

  • Railroad Tracks
  • Tunnels
  • Long straight Roads
  • Staircase, etc.

All such examples give the sense or perception that the distance is too long and eventually they are going to meet, but in reality, it is just an illusion. Such things never meet.
