No electoral college would be used to prevent individuals from making a direct selection of representation.
Slide 5: Infrastructure
Public office must be dedicated first and foremost to the maintenance of infrastructure. In an island nation which is both advantaged and disadvantaged by its geographical isolation, such issues as meteorological patterns and contention with population needs are key to the quality of life and preservation of individual rights which are of inherent importance to the nation's viability. This means that public resources are to be dedicated to protecting the interests of the public through proper allotment in such key areas as flood warning and prevention measures, highway and bridge maintenance, waste removal and responsible civil engineering, good schools and community outreach programs, etc.

Individual rights advocates have always held that the criminal justice system must endeavor to protect the personal freedoms of individuals. On the contrary, public order advocates do believe that under certain circumstances involving criminal threat to the public safety, societal interests should take precedence over individual rights.
Criminal justice is synonymous with law enforcement. The criminal justice system insulates both the accuser and the accused from any form of impartiality by strictly applying the law of criminal procedure -- the criminal (penal) law. Criminal justice cannot in any way be separated from social justice. It is therefore ill-conceived for one to posit that criminals have too many rights in America's criminal justice system because the legal system "grants so many rights" to people accused of crime.
Simply put, the "accused" are granted adequate rights. Because of the government's excesses, it is in order that an accused person is guaranteed the right to…...

Individual ights VS. Public Order
Individual right - the right to privacy VS. public order - the need to use surveillance Cameras to deter crime.
The Surveillance cameras are regularly connected to machines for taping the proceedings, but nobody looks at these tapes unless something untoward happens. These cameras are on the march and have spread to gas stations, ATMs, mini-marts, sporting events as also on the streets. After the attack on 9/11 on the World Trade Center, has led to more people trying to buy safety through these cameras. There are a great number of the Surveillance cameras now on Times Square as that is viewed to be the next major target for terrorist attacks. The sales of these systems are now the highest among all types of electronic security products. This fact has come out from the study conducted by Security Sales & Integration, a magazine in Torrance, California.

The enforcement of the law will also be dependent upon public jury trial and civil court case proceedings, which will be intended to devise the conditions by which a dispute between citizens or between state and citizen has come to pass and the conditions by which justice can be restored to any given scenario. It is the right of the people to see that the system of laws in place is designed with justice as its chief goal and with mercy as its balancing principle in achieving equitable and appropriate judgment and sentencing upon criminal offenders.

Constitution
America affords its residents some of the most liberal rights on earth. Individual rights are what this nation was built on and it is what it continues to promote today. America's insistence on the protection and promotion of individual rights is what makes millions of immigrants flock to its shores each year to begin a new life here. America is also known for having a strong sense of social responsibility. The nation sends money to other nations in need and has worked hard to rebuld nations that it has destroyed in wars.

criminal justice are that of public order and that of individual rights. While each side has its merits and in some sense complements the other, there are those who favor either perspective. Public order advocates argue that the safety of citizens and the cohesion of civil society is paramount. Individual rights advocates are more focused on the autonomy of each person, even where it threatens the cohesion of society. Without some degree of social cohesion, it would be impossible for the state or society to exist in any effective capacity. In this case, it is difficult to see who would ensure the protection of individual rights. Similarly, a society that fails completely to protect any individual rights is ultimately serving none of the people within it and will end up collapsing. Therefore, there is a balancing act between the two perspectives that is necessary.
In many cases, it is difficult…...

Individual ights for a Nation
Introductory Supporting Analysis
The legal and political philosophical principles that ostensibly will advance the Nation of Tagg and its political establishment are the focus of the first section of this paper. The Nation of Tagg utilizes a democratic republic form of managing the body politic via the use of popular determinism. The question as to whether Natural Law or Legal Positivism as a philosophical approach to law making within Tagg will be critically analyzed.
The Theory of Natural Law is derived from the notion that an overlap does exist between morality and the law of the land. However, the relevance of natural law has been questioned by contemporary philosophers to whether such a theory can merge into a complex and modern society that thrives on the existence of a large 'grey area', an overlap, between morality and law.
According to Carr (2002), "To modernize natural law, that is,…...

In its perfect state, enforcing public order would, by its definition, secure and maintain the individual rights of its citizens. However, also by agreeing that another party has the right and responsibility to enforce public order, citizens give up some of their individual rights.
By living in the United States, one has made a quasi-contractual agreement to abide by the laws that govern the country. As such, individuals have surrendered at least some of their individual rights in the name of public order. As an example:
ten people who live on an island may all possess liberty to do as they please. These people, however, constantly fight with one another over the limited food on the island. The ten people can use their liberty to enter a contract, which grants one of the individuals the power to make and enforce the rules they will all live by. These individuals have essentially…...

Right to Carry Handguns for Self-Protection:
The right to carry handguns for law abiding citizens has been a continual social and political debate about the restriction or availability of firearms within the country. Actually, the right to carry handguns has developed to become one of the major controversial and intractable issues within the social and political environments in the nation. The main reason attributed to the development of this controversial issue is the constitutional provision regarding firearms and the government's responsibility to prevent criminal activities, maintaining order, and safeguarding citizens' well-being. The debate has been characterized by different reasons that have been raised by intellectuals, social activists, and advocates in support and opposition of the controversial issue.
Historical Overview:
The debate regarding the right to carry and keep firearms can be traced to the inception of the gun culture, which explained the affections of American's citizens in adopting and celebrating handguns as part…...

Unfortunately, those not exercising this "right," that is the traditional two-parent families bear the brunt of these phenomena. Their incomes are heavily taxed to bear the burden of the "rights" of those who are passing the bill on without paying their fair share.
This brings up what Mr. Lloyd calls the other "R"-responsibility. The emphasis upon rights has impoverished the social discourse. For rights to be meaningful and workable, they have to have a context or framework to exist in. This is where responsibility comes in. hat differentiates Mr. Lloyd from other authorities is that he deepens the definition of responsibilities beyond simply recognizing and protecting other people's "rights." He is reaching for the stuff that holds countries together, that is the type of responsibility that builds communities. For this reason, advocates a return to the biblical heritage upon which British and American constitutional concepts rest (Lloyd, 2008).

The first argument would be to point out that essentially, the right to bear arms is an individual right that can be exercised by any member of the civil society. In so doing, an individual is merely accomplishing a right that is rightfully his/hers from the beginning. The second main argument to be pointed out is that gun ownership does not necessarily translate to its improper use, posing as a threat to civil society. The legislative system has created a system that eliminates the occurrence of improper or inappropriate gun use, to prevent this threat from happening. Given these existing arguments for gun ownership, both anti-gun ownership groups and the general public would hopefully subsist to the view that indeed, exercising the right to bear arms is a privilege that will ensure the citizen of his/her safety and precaution against deviants in the civil society....
ights vs. Social esponsibility
social conflict
The very nature of business implies that the individual has the right to run a business in order to generate as profit. This aspect is aligned with the democratic ideal of personal and individual freedom. The emphasis in business is therefore on individual motivation and the freedom to achieve success in that particular field of business.
However, modern business ethics also require a degree of social responsibility on the part of the individual. This means that the individual in the pursuit of his rights should not infringe or transgress the rights of the society or the community in which he or she functions and runs a business.
Individual rights refer to the liberties of each individual to pursue life and goals without interference from other individuals or the government. Examples of individual rights include the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as stated in the…...

As the above scenarios illustrate, it is impossible to rely upon a single moral theory when developing a corporate code of ethics. This is because each individual brings his or her own personal perspective about ethics, so that each theory is biased by personal perspective. While Kohlberg's Model of Cognitive Development attempts to incorporate these differences, it fails to answer the question of whether or not individuals can judge the morality of someone's actions when that person comes from a different ethical and cultural background. (AllPsych, 2004). Therefore, it seems like the best thing a corporation can do is to consult the cultural norms of its stakeholders and try to fashion a corporate code that respects all of those norms. Such a code would focus on individual rights, utilitarianism, and justice. Therefore, DWI's corporate code should pledge to create value and enhance quality of life for its…...
