Local law defines the speed limit as 45 miles per hour on local roads. The law outlines punishments by charging fines for those

who drive faster than the speed limit.
Signs post this law on most roads. Local police stop a man traveling 67 miles per hour. He apologizes and says he did not see a speed limit sign. The officer gave him a ticket and told him he will have to appear in court since he was going so fast.
Is this a matter of constitutional, criminal, civil, or military law? This is a matter of criminal because speeding is not allowed.

Answers with Explanation:

Question # 1: Type of Law.

As the man goes above the described speed limit, he broke the law and committed a crime. Therefore, this is a criminal law. The punishment for speeding increases the faster the person is driving above the speed limit.

Question # 1: Source of the Law.

The law is in a written form, describing to public what is allowed and what action is prohibited. Hence, the source is statute.

Question # 3: Purpose of the law.

The action of speeding means you are going faster than the recommended speed for that road. This means that you can injure yourself as well as others in an accident. Thus this law is intended as measure to ensure public safety. For example, the man was going at 67 miles per hour, that is more than 20 miles above the speed limit. At this speed reaction time is very small and even a minor mistake can turn into a deadly accident.

This is a matter of Criminal Law.When you break a law, you are committing a crime. When you break a law, you have a legal punishment. The penalty increases the faster the person travels above the speed limit. The most severe punishments are for those who travel faster than 20 miles per hour above the speed limit.

The law is intended to protect people's safety.The source of the law is a statute – a written law that tells us what to do and what not to do. Since it is a local law that “outlines punishments,” it is also a municipal law.

Many people will be killed on the road if speed limit is not followed.he purpose of the law is to stop people from speeding. Speeding can cause accidents that hurt the driver or other people. The faster you go increases the risk of an accident. The law is intended to protect people’s safety. If it did not exist, people could drive whatever speed they wanted. They could drive 100 mph in a school zone. In the scenario, he was driving 22 mph over the speed limit and his wife and unborn child were in the car. He could have had an accident and killed all of them.

Which of the following best describes the racial divisions in the North after suburbanization in the 1950's?
lesya [120]

The correct answer is "A".

The "Great Migration" was the massive relocation of African Americans to territories up North, Midwest, and West which occurred from 1916 to 1970. During this period, African Americans who relocated into urban areas in the north were subject to constant violent acts from the White community, as there was still an inherent sentiment of segregation among the citizens of the country. This prompted African Americans to establish in suburbs in the outskirts of the urban areas during the 1950s.

PLS HELP ME I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

1. It Is a clear expression of fake democracy. The term "free election" doesn't entirely make sense in a country where any distinction between the ruling party and the government has been almost completely erased. Syria is considered a unitary republic with a semi-presidential style of government. However, the controlling parties practice a highly authoritarian regime with most of the political power in the AL-Assad family's hands. People doesn't have more option if the want to "live".

2. If I live in that country, I think I feel like a hostage. Elections over there aren't free, and they're certainly not fair. The resulting optics are not democratic enough. They buy the government a minimum of democratic credibility abroad without seriously imperiling its hold on power.
