Louisiana, Court extended immunity; unless a state agreed, it could not be sued in federal court by its own citizens. (1803) Marbury v.

Punishment of Juveniles

During the nineteenth century, the British government responded to the public?s fear that lawlessness was increasing by taking measures to reduce crime. With the newly appointed justice system, court orders and sentences were handed out left and right. Another aspect of the lawlessness in England that they took into account was the view of juvenile delinquents. To a certain extent, legal treatment of juveniles was negatively affected by changing views of this time, such as improper containments and unfit punishments, but eventually effort was improved by acts and construction of institutions.

Jonathan G. Bernal Block 1 March 28, 2010 The Treaty of Versailles The Treaty of Versailles signed by the Allied countries and Germany was the main term to end the Great War after the amnesties of 1918. The U.S. president Woodrow Wilson presented a 14-point plan that provided the outline for the Treaty of Versailles, although Germany hoped the Treaty would be based on Woodrow's plan, only 4 of the points were actually included in the Treaty of Versailles. At the Hall of Mirrors, the Treaty of Versailles finally ended the Great War, but this created a setting for World War II because of the antagonism left by the U.S, France, and Germany.
