A small cruise ship struck a whale swimming underwater, causing the ship to suddenly lurch sideways. A passenger on the ship who

was walking down a corridor lost his balance and bumped his head on the edge of a doorway. Because of a previously existing medical condition that made him susceptible to bleeding on the brain, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and permanent mental impairment, despite prompt medical attention on the ship. The passenger brought suit against the cruise ship owner for his damages. At trial, the passenger presented evidence of how he was injured as he walked down the hallway, his previous medical condition, and his medical expenses and other damages. The cruise ship owner presented evidence that the cruise ship was following its approved route and that the whale could not have been detected before impact, and that the bump would not have injured someone in ordinary health. At the close of the evidence, the cruise ship owner moved for a directed verdict. How should the court rule

Answer: Grant the motion, because there is no evidence that the crew operated the ship negligently.

Explanation:

The court should rule by granting the cruise ship owner's motion due to the fact that the passenger has not been able to establish a case of negligence against the ship.

It should be noted that in order to establish a prima facie case for negligence, the plaintiff in this case must be able to show a duty of care, then a breach of that duty, a proximate cause, and the damages. However, in this case, the passenger doesn't have enough evidence to back up his claim.

How much of a threat to democracy and voter participation is gerrymandering
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Gerrymandering means to manipulate district boundaries in order to build political advantage i favour of one party. this phenomenon majorly works around the state (national) politics at the time of elections and mostly has a negative impact and is harmful with regards to healthy political and election environment.

Based on the above, it is quite evident that gerrymandering is an absolute threat to democracy. some of the impacts have been listed below:

It in a way creates circumstances that the politicians get more power and they can chose who their voters are going to be. Rather than giving the voters the power on whom they are going to chose.

It is used to help or hinder the a particular party/politician, which is mostly used in an unfair manner and regardless of the benefit to the larger group.

This method is largely used for the benefit and upliftment of the political parties and in the process the well being and upliftment of the community may go on a toss, as the primary motto is to favour winning of elections by a politician or political party.

As it hampers the transparency of the election system and does not provide equal rights and participation to the voters to chose their leader or ruling party. It directly hampers the democracy and voter participation rights. as all the process gets filtered and adultrated in the process of gerrymandering.
