Monica owed Bob $500, which was more than a year overdue. Bob got drunk at a party and told everyone there that Monica had owed

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. Yes, because Bob communicated the statement to third persons and defamed her. Yes, because a statement saying that a person does not pay his/her debts on time is slander per se.

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.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

was a narrow victory for Kennedy.

Explanation:

The presidential election of 1960 in the United States was contested between  John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. In that election, Kennedy had a narrow win, with him securing 303 electoral votes compared to Nixon's 219. He also won the national popular vote by 112,827 votes, and this was a slim margin of 0.17%. The proliferation of unpledged electors has led many to argue that Richard Nixon was supposed to win the national popular vote. He also contested that election with Lyndon B. Johnson who was a senate majority leader.

The fact that he campaigned in the populous states and used good campaign media like the television helped him to reach out to a larger number of voters. He was later assassinated in 1963.

Luba_88 [7]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question

Read Dissent: The History of an American Idea, by Ralph Young

What does Young say is “most astonishing” about the World War II antiwar movement?

Answer:

What Young finds “most astonishing” is the great number of conscientious objectors, as even organizations that had anti-war positions in the past, such as the socialist, the communists, and the anarchists, were unanimously presenting their support for World War II as a fight against fascism.

Explanation:

Those who were against the war believed that governments had had chances to stop the violent conflict, but didn´t take them.
