Answer:

c. May file a qui tam suit in connection with an FFCA case.

Explanation:

Whistle blowing is the act whereby people, mostly by employees report illegal acts or suspected misconduct. The people that carry out this act are referred to as the whistle blower.

The FFCA, which means  Florida False Claims Act, is modeled after its federal counterpart, the False Claims Act (FCA). And it authorizes private individuals to bring “qui tam” suits in the name of the state against persons or entities who have defrauded the state in contracting or other matters.

By doing this, it allows successful plaintiffs, which are sometimes called whistle-blowers, to share in the damages recovered.

The whistle-blowers are regarded as plaintiffs because they can file case against other people in the court of law.

Answer:

c. May file a qui tam suit in connection with an FFCA case.

Explanation:

The False Claims Act, also known as anti fraud law, (31 U.S.C. Sections 3729 through 3733) is considered to be the earliest qui tam law (which otherwise means "in the name of the King"), was first passed into law in 1863 and then later got amended in 1943 and 1986.

Hence, under the the False Claims Act, qui tam allows an individual or group of people (which are often referred to as whistle blower) with tenable proof of fraud against federal programs or contracts to sue the culprit on behalf of the United States Government. Thus, the government has the right to join or intervene in the action, however, should the government refused to join in the action, the whistleblower or the private plaintiff can proceed in the proceedings.

It is also pertinent to note that, a "qui tam" action can be filed in a federal district court in camera, under seal and in accordance to federal rules of civil procedure.

There are protection provisions provided for whistleblower under FFCA (Federal False Claims Act) and they are:

1. Reinstatement to work

2. Payment of double back pay

3. Compensation for any special damages such as cost of litigation process.

evablogger [386]
Social Darwinism was most likely applied to treat immigrants from different regions differently, however, Social Darwinism does not specifically relate to immigrants but also to all members of society. In the American context, the notion was implemented to popularize the notion of "survival of the fittest" or that the strongest members of a society will succeed and the political system should support this theory.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

experiments with Darwin’s original hypotheses

Explanation:

Charles Darwin is known for his theory of evolution which stated that species change over time as a result of the natural selection and all the species have descended from a common ancestor.

Mendel published his results in 1865 which termed the heredity material as factors but both of them were unknown with the concept of the gene.

Later experiments showed that evolution is correlated with genes or the genes control the evolution by causing mutation in the DNA. These experiments are the ones which were performed to test the original hypothesis of Darwin.
