Historically, relations between workers and employers in the United States have often been characterized by the employment-at-wi

ll doctrine, according to which the duration of employment is determined by the employer and the grounds for termination are limited only by the provisions of contracts and specific statutes. Many state courts and legislatures have reevaluated this doctrine and have modified it by expanding the concept of wrongful termination, thereby increasing employer liability. Some economic theorists suggest that such changes tend to reduce employment in states that enact them, because protecting workers against wrongful termination raises the cost of labor to employers: firms will tend to spend more time and money screening potential employees, be reluctant to terminate less-productive workers, and incur greater legal expenses. In a study that took into account differences among states, researchers Dertouzos and Karoly concluded that states with wrongful-termination laws experienced a two percent to five percent drop in their employment rate as a result of adopting these laws. They also found that the impact on employment appears to be smallest in manufacturing, where unions have already institutionalized similar protection, and in small firms, perhaps because those firms' lesser ability to pay damages makes it less profitable for employees to file wrongful-termination lawsuits against them.
The passage suggests which of the following regarding wrongful-termination lawsuits?

A) States that do not implement wrongful-termination laws will probably see an increase in wrongful-termination lawsuits.
B) It is less profitable to file wrongful-termination lawsuits against unionized companies than against companies without unions.
C) A wrongful-termination lawsuit is less costly to a company than continuing the employment of an unproductive worker.
D) Obtaining financial compensation is an important motivation for filing wrongful-termination lawsuits.
E) Those who file wrongful-termination lawsuits are likely to be awarded larger settlements under the employment-at-will doctrine than under wrongful-termination laws.

Answer:

D) Obtaining financial compensation is an important motivation for filing wrongful-termination lawsuits.

Explanation:

A wrongful-termination lawsuit is an incentive for employees to suit their employers because of the prospect of financial gain. This makes hiring riskier for firms, because there is always the possiblity, however remote, that a new hire might sue the firm in the future if she or she is dimissed.

Under these panorama, economists have gone about reaserching if there is any correlation between wrongful-termination laws, and the results have been consistent in showing that such correlation exists. Therefore, many economists recommend not only the termination of such laws, but also the removal of other laws that reduce labor flexibility.

Which constitutional principle is supported by Amendment IV?
never [62]

Balance between government and individual freedom is the constitutional principle supported by Amendment IV.

Option A  

<u>Explanation</u>:

The fourth amendment is about securing people's rights and freedom, the amendment is in regard to the protection of people from the state's actions that are not based upon the reason and probable cause the crime or any other kind of legal offence has been committed. It is to maintain individual safety along with national safety as a whole.

Like after 9/11 National Security Agency (NSA) increased their efforts for public safety but without disturbing individual freedom. So, both these things are opposite to balance but are possible.

babunello [35]
<span>I think he probably meant that the Constitution is not to be set in stone and should change to fit the times, which is my the Founding Fathers put in the Amendment process.

"A constitutional door is left open" refers to the question of whether an action is constitutional or unconstitutional. There is gray area that needs to be discussed.

The Civil War started in April 1861 and ended in April 1865.

Abraham Lincoln won the elections and became President of the United States. The Southern states knew that this would be its worst nightmare. They did not support abolition because their economies depended too much on slavery. The states that seceded were South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, and Texas. They formed the Confederate States and the War began.

After the war, the northern states became very industrialized, meanwhile in the South, Lincoln first, and then President Jackson initiated the Reconstruction period to try to help the South that resulted in much damage and losses.
