How Well Do You Know The Constitution
Abstract: How well do you know the Constitution?
The Constitution has as its origin the idea that the people hold all power. The powers that were given to the United States in the Constitution were either exclusive or concurrent (that is shared) with the individual States. And to carry out these exclusive and concurrent powers, the United States was given the power "to make laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof. Article 1, Section 18, Constitution of the United States."
Originally, the Constitution had no bill of rights. The reason for this, according to our forefathers, "was that the new government was one of specific and enumerated powers and possessed no authority except in those spheres where it had received a grant of power... Since the powers of Congress were limited by enumeration, it would be absurd to attach an additional section to the Constitution specifying what Congress could not do."

Q: I use PayPal to accept credit cards for my online collectibles business.

The "Mcdonald's Coffee" Case
In one of the most widely misreported and misunderstood cases in recent memory, a Albuquerque, New Mexico jury awarded 79 year-old Stella Liebeck $2.9 million for severe burns suffered after she spilled a cup of McDonald's coffee, which she had placed between her knees.
The jury's award was for $200,000 in compensatory damages and $2.7 million for punitive damages (because of McDonald's callous conduct). The jury also found Mrs. Liebeck 20% negligent, reducing the compensatory damages to $160,000. The trial judge also reduced the punitive damages to $480,000.
Mrs. Liebeck did not receive $2.9 million, or $2.86 million, or $740,000. The parties entered a post-verdict settlement for a undisclosed amount.
