Answer:

President Lyndon Johnson appoints U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Thurgood Marshall to fill the seat of retiring Supreme Court Associate Justice Tom C. Clark. On August 30, after a heated debate, the Senate confirmed Marshall’s nomination by a vote of 69 to 11. Two days later, he was sworn in by Chief Justice Earl Warren, making him the first African American in history to sit on America’s highest court.

The great-grandson of slaves, Marshall was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1908. In 1933, after studying under the tutelage of civil liberties lawyer Charles H. Houston, he received his law degree from Howard University in Washington, D.C. In 1936, he joined the legal division of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), of which Houston was director, and two years later succeeded his mentor in the organization’s top legal post.

Some states hold that an engagement ring is a conditional gift that becomes an absolute (effective) gift only on marriage. Other

Sergeu [11.5K]

The question is missing two important elements. The question: "Where do you stand on this issue?" and Why?

The question also invites us to watch a video for further reference. It is a TV News Show that interviews a lawyer, expert in the subject of marriage and divorce.

What the lawyer basically says is that the law states that the give is good only if it meets the condition of marriage. This means that it is the property of the other person meanwhile people are married. In my opinion, the ring should be a symbol of commitment, not as expensive as it has become due to marketing and advertising. If it is a commitment and things do not result, then, the ring loses its true value and should be returned.
