him $500 for over a year. Can Monica recover from Bob for defamation? Yes, because Bob abused his conditional privilege. No, because Bob has the defense of truth.

Answer: No, because Bob has the defense of truth.

Explanation:  Defamation is passing on false and harmful information about someone to a third party. Because Monica does  owe $500, he has the defense of truth which is an absolute defense as it renders what he has said, just fact and not defamation at all. For a defamation case to be proven, the information must be false.

Defamation laws exist to protect people’s reputation from false statements being made about them. The media used defines the type of Defamation. When it is in written form, it is libel and when spoken, it is slander.

Naya [18.7K]
"the americans supported the indian removal act because the colonies wanted their lands. they were tired of constantly crossing boundaries with the indians' hunting grounds and such. americans also considered indians to be savages. they constantly fought with each other. so the indian removal act forced indians to move west, this being known as the trail of tears. thousands of indians died on this journey."

In 150 to 200 words, use evidence to compare the ideas of the abolition of the slave trade and the abolition of slavery.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

In 1783 in Britain, and most of the world, slavery was an accepted and legal practice.  

Sick slave being thrown overboardIn that year, a case was heard before the British courts.  The insurer of the slave ship Zong, which carried African slaves from Africa to the Americas, refused to pay a claim for “lost cargo”.  That lost cargo was more than 100 sick slaves that had been thrown overboard by the ship’s captain, so that their value could be claimed against the insurers.  If the slaves had died of natural causes (their sickness), no claim could be brought against the insurers.  The insurers won their case.  Efforts to bring murder charges against the ship owners failed.  The slaves were not human beings they were goods.

you're welcome and have a good day.
