History

SCORPION-xisa [38]4 years ago

From the sixteenth to the nineteenth century around 10 to 12 million slaves were taken from Africa into slavery on the other side of the Atlantic. The region which received the most slaves was the Caribbean.  

The Caribbean received about 48% of the slaves took from Africa, while Brazil received 41% and the U.S. 5%. They worked mainly in plantations of sugar, cotton, and coffee.

African societies previous to contacts with Europeans already had slave labor. Notwithstanding, European slave traffic was hugely different: it was a big scale economic activity that connected various continents and sustained a few countries’ economies. The impact of this commerce with Europeans was that African domestic slavery ceased to result from wars and became an economic activity in itself.

Judges have received a series of cost of living adjustment (COLA) denials over the past few decades, affecting their salaries.
iVinArrow [24]

The statement is TRUE.

The Ethics Reform Act of 1989, guaranteed automatic cost of living adjusments (known as "COLAs") to protect the salaries of judges against inflation. This also applied to other areas of federal employment.  Pay raises, however, could be denied if the President declared national emergency or some serious economic crisis were to generate a collapse.

Despite these promises, Congress refused on several occasions throughout the past decades to raise judges' salaries, even on occasions where other federal employees were benefited by COLAs.

This led to a series of court fights that culminated with the authority given to Congress to take away promised pay raises from judges any time before they'd taken formal effect. What this means is that the Constitution will only protect judges’ pay that has been “due and payable". The review of this ruling was denied by the Supreme Court for several years.  However, Congress did end up voting to allow an increment of pay for judges later on (but not in 2007 or 2010, to cite some more examples of recent denials).


Hope this helps!
