Descriptions: Enforcement of prohibition laws proved extremely difficult. Many Americans did not agree with the decade long prohibition of the shipment and sales of alcoholic beverages. Not only were the laws being flaunted openly, organized crime groups were becoming more and more involved in all phases of the liquor business. Cartoonist Clifford Berryman spoofs the efforts of the Federal Law Enforcement Commission as it readied its first annual report to the Congress. Their main conclusion: "We find something must be done."

In my own opinion, Federal laws set restrictions on many different aspects of societal problems. Sometimes, law itself creates new problems, just as the ban on alcoholic beverages led to the arise of underground liquior market ran by the organized crime groups. Citizens express their critsim at current law by various of means.

Create Date: 1936
Emotions of some of the members of the jury that will decide whether Samuel Whittaker, elderly organist, must die on the gallows, face imprisonment or go free are shown as they listened to the story Whittaker told at his trial on charges he murdered his wife during a fake holdup. The state charges Whittaker hired James Fagan Culver, hillbilly transient, to stage a fake holdup and then fired at Culver and Mrs. Whittaker. Whittaker vehemently denied this."

From this photograph, it is shown that jury trail has long been a tradition as well as a feature of common law jurisdiction like the United States. In a trial of a criminal case, layman without professional knowledge in law act as juries. They listen to the statements from the prosecutor and the defendant. After that, they have to rely on their logic and common sense to decide whether the defendant is guilty or not. The jury system has its own advantages as ordinary people have chance to participate in the legal system, which insures its fairness. However, it may also have problems as jury can have their own bias.]]> 2022-12-12 10:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kenny_leyan/9mr103a6nqidft3m/wish/2417576836 4th Primary Source kenny_leyan https://padlet.com/kenny_leyan/9mr103a6nqidft3m/wish/2417595152 https://digital.lib.utk.edu/collections/islandora/object/volvoices%3A3037

Title: Scopes Trial Jury
Create Date: 1925
Description: The jury for the Scopes trial is taking their oaths as jurors. The rest of the members of the courtroom stand and watch. Scopes and his attorneys are seated.

In this picture, the mebembers of the jury were taking the oath before the court officially started. Taking an oath is a necessary step so that the jury could feel their burden as they need to decide carefully on a person's fate. However, it has been doubted that the oath-taking step does not necessarily add to the quality and fairness of a jury trial decision. Sometimes, people can still have bias deep down in their heart when they act as jurors.]]> 2022-12-12 10:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kenny_leyan/9mr103a6nqidft3m/wish/2417595152 5th Primary Source kenny_leyan https://padlet.com/kenny_leyan/9mr103a6nqidft3m/wish/2419033592 Descriptions:
President Hoover established the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement in May 1929 in an effort to identify causes of criminal activity. Thousands of citizens wrote to George Wickersham, the commission's chairman, to offer information and to express opinions about the causes of crime in the United States.

Conclusion: The author was being very polite to the Judge but what he wanted to convince was that to give more right to boys, no large number of boys not to school education. From this letter, it is self-evident that American citizens played an active role in legislation and judicial system. When they have some critics regarding the current law, it is not uncommon for citizens to direct communicate with legal practitioners, such as lawyers and judges to point out their rationale and advice.

Text Quotes:

1. “The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box.”

From this quote, Atticus tells Jem and Scout that an unbiased trial is realistically impossible. Overall, the book suggests that despite this inherent bia.

2. “I waited and waited to see you all come down the sidewalk, and as I waited I thought, Atticus Finch won’t win, he can’t win, but he’s the only man in these parts who can keep a jury out so long in a case like that.”

This quote it was on the point of view of Jem and Scout that an unbiased trial is realistically impossible. And in my own mind I think that the most serious lie on the planet is "You Can't Do It".

In chapter 20. Atticus Finch spoke to the jury. He  appeals  to jury patriotism because the court will ensure the equlity. That is exactly the country's founding principle.

I don’t know of any landowner around here who begrudges those children any game their father can hit.”

In chapter 3 , Atticus explained why Bob  Ewell could hunt out of season and break law. Atticus thought that was break the law. We can see there were many points about the law.

This actical record trials in 1930s that the system was dominated and almost complest absence of trials. Till 1970s the situation had changed.

In the book the trials was still a tough process.]]> 2022-12-18 14:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kenny_leyan/9mr103a6nqidft3m/wish/2424056204 Conclusion: kenny_leyan https://padlet.com/kenny_leyan/9mr103a6nqidft3m/wish/2424718363 The most important theme of To Kill a Mockingbird is the book's exploration of the moral nature of human beings—that is, whether people are essentially good or essentially evil. In my own opinion the book was based on prejudice, family life and courage. Atticus was my favorite character overall. I love this book very much!]]> 2022-12-19 11:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kenny_leyan/9mr103a6nqidft3m/wish/2424718363
