President Truman's reasoning behind bombing the cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was to ultimately end the devasting war. He wanted to put an end to the agony that it had cause.

I do not agree with the decision to drop an atomic bomb on two (very populated) cities, however, it was not my decision to make, and was far before my time.  

The atomic bombs "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" resulted in approximately 105,000 fatalities, and 95,000 causalities.

There were four other alternatives to dropping the atomic bombs:

- Offer the Japanese conditional surrender by lifting some of the terms

- Wait for the Soviets to attack Mancharia and Korea (which were occupies by the Japanese)

- Naval blockade

- Invade the Japanese "home" islands

Unconditional surrender was <u>discussed</u> during the Casablanca Conference in 1943, and the US <u>demanded</u> for unconditional surrender in the Potsdam Declaration in 1945.

Answer:

<em>B. i and ii only.</em>

Explanation:

The Branches of Civil Law are: Contract Law, Tort Law, Property Law and Family Law.

However, in the case Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants CV-93-02419, 1995 (N.M. Dist., Aug. 18, 1994) a breach of implied warranty made the headlines of this civil case.

Civil law cases have a plaintiff, that is the ‘party’ who is filling the sue and the defendant, the one who is being sued.

In a civil case the victim requires by legal action that an unfilled duty be repaired or compensate by the defendant. But in criminal case the objective is to charge the defendant with a felony or misdemeanor offense against a person, the society or the state.

Suppose you are a delegate at the Constitutional Convention. Write a journal entry describing the arguments from each side of th
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Journal Entry:

Supporters of the Jersey Plan mostly come from the larger states like New York or New Jersey. They believe that the seats of Congress should be distributed according to the states population. This plan clearly benefits the larger states.

Supporters of the Virginia Plan mostly come from the smaller states and the South. They feel that the seats of Congress should be distributed equally among the states, regardless of population size. This plan clearly benefits the least populated states.

A compromise should be reached that benefits both sides. Perhaps a bicameral Congress with one chamber benefiting the most populated states, and the other chamber benefiting the least populated states.
