On Sunday, October 6, 1974, the Leweiston Lodge of Elks sponsored a golf tournament at the Fairlawn Country Club in Poland, Main

e. For promotional purposes, Marcel Motors, an automobile dealership, agreed to give any golfer who shot a hole-in-one a new 1974 Dodge Colt. Fliers advertising the tournament were posted in the Elks Club and sent to potential participants. On the day of the tournament, the 1974 Dodge Colt was parked near the clubhouse, with one of the posters conspicuously displayed on it. Alphee Chenard, Jr., who had seen the promotional literature regarding the hole-in-one offer, registered for the tournament and paid the requisite entrance fee. While playing the thirteenth hole of the golf course, in the presence of the other members of his foursome, Chenard shot a hole-in-one. When Marcel Motors refused to tender the automobile, Chenard sued for breach of contract. [Chenard v. Marcel Motors, 387 A.2d 596, 1978 Me. Lexis 911 (Maine 1978)]

Question Completion:

1. Was the contract a bilateral or a unilateral contract?

2. Does Chenard win?

3. Is it ethical for Marcel Motors to refuse to give the automobile to Chenard?

Answer:

Chenard v. Marcel Motors, 387 A.2d 596, 1978 Me. Lexis 911 (Maine 1978)

1. A unilateral contract existed when Marcel Motors made the offer to any golfer who shot a hole-in-one for a new 1974 Dodge Colt.

2. Chenard wins.  Marcel Motors is obliged to supply him with the new 1974 Dodge Colt as promised because Chenard completed the stated task by shooting a hole-in-one.  Chenard wins, not because of his fee or participation in the golf tournament, he wins because Marcel Motors is obliged to fulfill its promise.

3. It is not ethical for Marcel Motors to refuse to give the automobile to Chenard.  It was not forced to make the promise.  No excuse, including illegality under gambling, could not exonerate it from its obligation to fulfill its promise.

Explanation:

According to the law, a unilateral contract is a contract agreement in which, for example, Marcel Motors promised to offer a new 1974 Dodge Colt to a golfer after the golfer had shot a hole-in-one.  In this unilateral contract, the offeror (Marcel Motors) was the only party with a contractual obligation. Unilateral contracts are primarily one-sided but remain very legal.

1. Where is the line drawn between religion and public schools?
Over [174]

Answer:

religion is something you learn about but you can not share your beliefs with the school and teachers aren't allowed to preach their religions.

some schools allow prayer in sports but it is not a mandatory thing.

I still believe that it is not a good thing to put religion beliefs and school together because then if u don't believe in someone elses religion it can cause problems which will revolve in exclusion and fights about religion.

It depends on what it is used for and if they are making it a mandatory thing or not.

1. Is Defensible Space Theory a logical explanation for controlling crime? Why or why not?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

1. The Defensible Space Theory can really be seen as a logical explanation for controlling crime from the perspectives of a defender as well as an attacker. This theory makes use of the science of psychology with the science of meaningful space. When the defender, that is, the home owners will be responsible for their home space, the sense of responsibility will be higher on the same. The home owners will be accountable for their defense. This encourages home owners to design their home space in such a way that they will be able to control their environment based on their present capabilities like family structure, income level, and socioeconomic status. The attacker, that is, the potential criminal will feel insecure and uncomfortable on a highly defended land. So, the probability of the criminal attacking the home space or neighborhood may be lessened. This argument is supported by the study which involved private homes in two high-crime areas in St. Louis. These areas recorded lower crimes than public areas using the Defensible Space Theory.

2. According to the Routine Activity Theory, the condition for crime is the presence of a suitable target(s) and the absence of a guardian(s). It is important to note that something or the other will always be present to motivate potential offenders to commit crime. So, there will always be motivated offenders. If motivated offenders are present, so suitable targets will be present in the society on the other side for crime to take place. So, suitable targets cannot be left unguarded which will increase the probability of crime, considering the target is in an isolated position. Even a weak guardian is sometimes equivalent to no guardian or protector. So, I think, presence of guardian(s), more specifically, more capable guardian(s) plays the greatest role at reducing

Discuss the key theorist of restorative justice​
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Crime, according to restorative justice, does more than only breach the law; it also harms people, relationships, and the community. As a result, a just remedy must address both the injuries and the wrongdoing. Helping the parties meet to discuss the damages and how to resolve them is the greatest method to do this if they are willing to do so. If they are unable or unwilling to meet, there are other options. In some cases, these meetings result in life-changing transformations for them.

Three main principles to consider: (1) harm is caused by crime, and justice requires that harm be repaired; (2) encounter: the best way to decide how to accomplish that is for the parties to deliberate together; and (3) transformation: this can have a profound impact on people, relationships, and communities.

A more technical definition is this: Restorative Justice is a view of justice that focuses on resolving the consequences of criminal activity by resolving the causes of the harm. However, when that is not possible, it is best accomplished through cooperative mechanisms that allow all willing stakeholders to meet. People, relationships, and communities can all be transformed as a result of this.
