Answer:

In the context of prejudice, this scenario exemplifies A. an illusory correlation.

Explanation:

An illusory correlation is a phenomenon in which variables (events, conducts, people) are believed to have a relationship even though it does not exists.

A correlation refers to the <em>connection between 2 things</em> and it is illusory because it is<em> nonexistent. </em>

This scenario exemplifies an illusory correlation because the police officers arrested Jeremiah for being close to the crime scene with a soiled baseball bat, creating the correlation between these variables.

In which case did the u.s. supreme court pronounce the balancing test, meaning that courts must balance the rights of inmates ag
Mrac [35]

The U.S Supreme Court pronounced the balancing test in the Turner v. Safley case. The balancing test means that the courts must balance the rights of inmates against the penological concerns of security and order.

In this case, the U.S Supreme Court upheld broad restriction on inmate-to-inmate correspondence and, in the process, reaffirmed its commitment to a deferential standard in prisoner speech cases.

In Justice O’Connor’s opinion in Turner v. Safley, he identified four factors to consider when applying this standard:

  • Whether or not there is a valid, rational link between the regulation and the governmental interest advanced to justify it;
  • Whether inmates are left with alternative means of exercising the right that the regulation restricts;
  • Whether accommodating the asserted right would have a significant ripple effect on fellow inmates or prison staff;
  • And whether there is a ready alternative to the regulation that fully accommodates the asserted right at a minimal cost to valid penological interests.

o-na [289]

<u>Answer:</u>   a. Hobbes

<em>Hobbes believed that only absolute monarchy was the decent and true form of the government.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

As human beings are naturally a selfish organism so this <em>philosophy of humans stemmed the beliefs and thoughts of Hobbes.  </em>

Locke had a belief that government has the power from the people. So <em>separation of powers is the idea for the legitimate government.</em> He describes the power of government as how it is used for the commonwealth.

Rousseau claimed that both the authorities and citizen has their own rights and responsibilities with each other.  <em>And for the good governance system these rights must be held and bounded upon a social contract.</em>
