Answer: No contract exists due to mutual mistake of fact as to the existence or identity of the subject matter of the contract.

Explanation:

Breach of contract is legal cause of action and a type of civil wrong, whereby a binding agreement or bargained-for exchange was not honored by one or more of the parties to the agreement in the contract by non-performance or an interference with the other party's performance.

In this scenario, the buyer cannot sue for breach of contract when the goods failed to arrive on time because no contract exists due to the mutual mistake of fact as to the existence or the identity of the subject matter of the contract. There was a mistake regarding the ship "Peerless". A party had in mind the one coming by October while the other party had the one coming in December in mind. Due to this error, no contract existed.

A). ¿Por Qué medio se lleva a cabo la política?.
Art [367]
Es el conjunto de actividades que se asocian con la toma de decisiones en grupo, u otras formas de relaciones de poder entre individuos, como la distribución de recursos o estatus.

El principal objetivo de la democracia es la reducción de la desigualdad. Las democracias se basan en la igualdad política. Todas las personas tienen el mismo peso en la elección de representantes. Paralelamente al proceso de llevar a los individuos a la arena política en pie de igualdad, encontramos crecientes desigualdades económicas.

Southern states objected to the 14th amendment because it granted citizenship to former slaves who had been freed by the Civil W
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

hey mari!!

Explanation:

On July 28, 1868, the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified. The amendment grants citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States" which included former slaves who had just been freed after the Civil War. The amendment had been rejected by most Southern states but was ratified by the required three-fourths of the states. Known as the "Reconstruction Amendment," it forbids any state to deny any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law" or to "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Other groups tried to use the 14th Amendment to further their causes. Women attempted to use it to proclaim their right to vote, and African Americans tried to use it as well. On May 18, 1896, the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson that "separate but equal" facilities were considered sufficient to satisfy the 14th Amendment. It wasn't until May 17, 1954, however, that the Court reversed the Plessy decision, bringing the era of government-sanctioned segregation to an end.

It was the 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, which finally gave African Americans the right to vote. It states that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." In practice, however, it took almost 100 more years and the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to remove barriers such as poll taxes, literacy tests, and intimidation that prevented African Americans and other people of color from freely exercising their right to vote. Note that the 15th amendment makes no mention of sex. It was not until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920 that women were explicitly given the vote.
