This law is called Double Jeopardy.

Although this may seem beneficial and fair, it also has several disadvantages. The law is beneficial to innocent people, because it prevents them from being tried twice for the same crime, so they can not be acquitted and then later found guilty. However, this is also a disadvantage in some cases. In the past, there have been some court cases in which the defendant was acquitted, but later admitted to the crime. Because of the Double Jeopardy law, these people could not be found guilty and still have not received a punishment.

Why might self-announcement attract candidates with the personal wealth to finance their own campaigns
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Because the self-announcement allows candidacy without the need for membership in a political party.

Explanation:

Political campaigns in electoral times are expensive and need a great deal of funding, which is done by political parties and by economic alliances that these parties have with institutions that can help pay the costs of the campaigns. For this reason, most candidates for political office need to join parties to launch their political campaigns.

However, it is possible that people with great economic power and a strong ability to pay for the costs of an election campaign, are candidates for political office without having to affiliate with parties. These people do this through self-announcement, which occurs when a citizen runs for political office without the concentration of a political party, and can set up the campaign however they want.

How can you tell which family member is approaching before you see them family feud?
hammer [34]
<span>The best way to determing who is approaching before seeing them is to rely on other senses. For example, if your uncle never showers then you might be able to smell him even if you can't see him coming. In some cases it may also be possible to tell who is approaching by relying on knowledge about their habits. For example, if someone is coming through the door at six o'clock, and your father usually comes by at that time, then that person is probably your father.</span>
