This is a 5 page paper discussing Case 10.1 in regards to officers Andrews and Conn claim against the Philadelphia Police Department. In the case of Andrews and Conn against the Philadelphia Police Department, they have a legitimate claim for sexual discrimination based on their co-workers, and supervisor, being responsible for the creation of an offensive and hostile working environment. Title VII and definitions by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) include the use of lewd language and posting of lewd materials in public working areas as part of a hostile working environment which occurred on many instances in this case as well as many other offensive acts. In addition to the creation of the hostile work environment, the supervisor in the case was aware and did nothing to correct the situation which holds him and his employer accountable for the creation of a hostile work environment. Supervisors, superiors and those in legitimate power positions should implement an Affirmative Action Plan within the workplace and follow this with anti-harassment training for their employees in order to correct discrimination and to prevent future occurrences.

Case Commentary: First Amendment Rights
[ send me this essay ]
11 pages in length. Constitutional freedoms have long been worthy of both verbal and physical battle; indeed, to interfere with one's inherent constitutional rights is to intrude upon the very essence of American democracy. Nowhere is this more evident than in Village of Skokie v. National Socialist Party of America, where a Nazi demonstration had been purposely planned for this primarily Jewish community of Holocaust survivors as a means by which to test the strength of First Amendment power. Was the town within its rights to refuse such a demonstration? Was the American Nazi Party within its rights to demonstrate with such obviously devious intentions? Clearly, the crux of First Amendment strength is the manner by which content cannot be censored merely because someone does not like what is being said. However, there are instances when words are spoken with the specific intent to illicit a violent response, which is known as the Fighting Words Doctrine; in this case, First Amendment rights do not protect such provocation. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Checks and Balances
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper comparing Constitutional Framers’ original intent with expression of separation of powers today. Devising a method by which abuse of power would be difficult – if not impossible – was not an easy task, but the Framers developed a framework within which each branch of government would be accountable to others, as well as the people of the country. The purpose here is to examine how the relationships between the three branches of government have changed over the years and how the Framers’ system of checks and balances affects government function today.
