Over 200 years ago our forefathers under took a GRAND EXPERIMENT in self-government. Brought together for the purpose of providing amendments to the Articles of Confederation, they instead offered the Constitution.

But how well do you know the Constitution?

The Constitution has as its origin the idea that the people hold all power. And that through the constitutions of the several States the people delegated some of their powers to their state governments. While in the Constitution of the United States, they transferred some of the powers which they granted to the individual States, in whole or in part, to the United States, as well as delegated it with some of their own powers.

The powers that were given to the United States in the Constitution were either exclusive or concurrent (that is shared) with the individual States. Exclusive power for the United States existed in three ways: “where the Constitution in express terms granted an exclusive authority to the Union; where it granted in one instance an authority to the Union, and in another prohibited the States from exercising the like authority; and where it granted an authority to the Union to which a similar authority in the States would be absolutely and totally contradictory and repugnant. Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Papers #32.”

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.”

Commenting on this provision, Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist Paper #33:

“What is a power but the ability or faculty of doing a thing? What is the ability to do a thing but the power of employing the means necessary to its execution? What is a legislative power but a power of making laws? What are the means to execute a legislative power but laws? What is the power of laying and collecting taxes, but a legislative power, or a power of making laws to lay and collect taxes? What are the proper means of executing such a power but necessary and proper laws?

This simple train of inquiry furnishes us at once with a test of the true nature of the (necessary and proper) clause. It conducts us to this palpable truth that a power to lay and collect taxes must be a power to pass all laws necessary and proper for the execution of that power; and what does this provision do more than declare the same truth, to wit, that the national legislature to whom the power of laying and collecting taxes had been previously given might, in the execution of that power, pass all laws necessary and proper to carry it into effect? The same process will lead to the same result in relation to all other powers declared in the Constitution. And it is expressly to execute these powers that the sweeping clause, as it has been affectedly called, authorizes the national legislature to pass all necessary and proper laws.

It may be affirmed with perfect confidence that the constitutional operation of the intended government would be precisely the same if the clause was entirely obliterated as if it were repeated in every article. It is only declaratory of a truth which would have resulted by necessary and unavoidable implication from the very act of constituting a federal government and vesting it with certain specified powers.”

Along with the powers granted to the United States in the Constitution, exceptions (or restrictions) were placed on these powers. Some examples -

1) On the power of Congress to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, we have some of the following exceptions:

a) No capitation or other direct tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken,

b) No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State, and,

c) No vessel bound to, or from, one State shall be obligated to pay duties in another.

2) For the power of Congress to regulate commerce among the several States, we have this restriction: “No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce to the ports of one State over those of another.”

3) Regarding the power of Congress to constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court, there is this exception:

“The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.”

4) And the power of Congress to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, there is this restriction:

“No Bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed.”

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.

The American Constitution: Its Origins And Development, 5th Edition, by Alfred H. Kelly and Winfred A. Harbison, 1976, page 143.” However, due to a general misunderstanding about the Constitution at the time of its ratification, a bill of rights was added to the Constitution in order to obtain ratification of the Constitution itself.

So - how well do you know the Constitution, now?

In your small business debt collection laws will eventually become important, as your debt grows and some clients do not pay. To collect small business debts legally, you must send a written notice that collections have begun, within five days of first contacting the debtor for collections. The letter must include dispute instructions.

Small Business Debt Collection Laws Forbidden Practices…

-Collect any amount beyond the actual debt, unless you really can do so legally.

-Continue collections on a debt if the debtor has disputed the debt, unless you provide the debtor with written proof.
Continue contacting the debtor if within 30 days of first contact, the debtor disputes the debt.

-Credit a payment the debtor has made to a non-disputed debt to a debt the debtor has disputed.

-Deposit a post-dated check before the post-date.

Small Business Debt Collections Laws: What You Can’t Say

- Give a false name.
- You are an attorney or government representative, if you are not.
-You have an attorney working for you or that you are going to assign the case to an attorney, if you really do not.
-The debtor has committed a crime, unless you are 100% sure they have.
-You work for a credit bureau, if you really do not.
-The debt is more or less money than it actually is.
-You are sending or have sent legal forms when you really did not.
-You are sending or have sent papers that are not legal forms, if they really are legal forms.
-The debtor will be arrested–no one is arrested for nonpayment of debts anymore.
-You will seize, garnish, attach, or sell the debtor’s property or wages, if you do not really intend to or cannot legally do so (and unless the debt is secured with collateral, you probably cannot).
-You will sue or take other legal action, if you do not really intend to, or are not legally able to do so.

Small Business Debt Collection Laws Forbidden Third-Party Disclosures

Never:

1) Give any credit-related information that is not 100% accurate.
2) Tell anyone other than the debtor that you are collecting a debt.
3) Telephone any number other than debtor’s more than once.

“Was Cambodia able to build the world’s largest religious temple, if that era was today”

Lay Vicheka (2005)

“Unless willingness is the initial persuasion of law-making, law’s goal will never achieve”

Lay Vicheka (2005)

The matters of fact, followed by the matter of law are two of the daily heated discussion of Cambodia’s social havoc. Protracted disputes over land, political, economic and social issues, etc have become, I think, the daily images painted on the Cambodian public media. So how is this country going to solve these conflicts? What mechanisms to be used for the conflict-resolutions? What are the causes of these conflicts? The following statements tempt to answer to above questions. For an easier procedure and understanding, I would consign my argument and elucidation into Cambodian perspectives and context. I would rather say from the very beginning that my writing is totally opinioned-based; data, political and legal analysis are not involved at all.

Law Is Mostly Used in Handicapped Mechanism

From the very outset, I would begin by looking into Cambodia’s incurring negative events published in the public press. Everyday, we see the social, political, economical drawbacks appeared on the public press, so the law-related persons or entities do analysis, basing on legal ground. As the result, problems are arisen the committers are illegal or lawless, messing public orders and legal measures must be taken to obstruct these conductivities from future occurrences. We see that this is the perspective that “law is a mechanism to create problem (for better tomorrow)”. But law doesn’t mean to be deployed in just one side like this. Law must be deployed in twofold; a mechanism to create problem(s) and to solve the problem(s).

However, is law totally deployed as a measure to solve the conflict? Most or maybe all of the Cambodian people and international opinions would say no to this question. As we can clearly see through the public press, conflicts haven’t been fully resolve through legal path, since bribery, corruption, collusion, political relation, etc. These are some of the factors, that most of the Cambodian public and foreign analysts view that conflicts haven’t totally been resolved though the legal path.

Legal path, I refer to here, must be “general” and “absolute”. General: Cambodian law must equally apply to every Cambodian national. For instance: if law states, “everyone must drive 55kms per hour”. This means that everyone; adults, government members, members of parliament, senators, private company staff, diplomat…etc must driver 55kms per hour and any breaching of this rule would result in bad consequence. Absolute: there would be no exception for anybody. If law states that this person must be killed, there is nothing can obstruct the law; though is person is the senior official, millionaire or philosopher. Absolutism also refers to that law has no choice, there is only one way out. For easier to understand, let me bring a practical example: in the market you have the choice between the products, whether you want to buy or not to buy the product, but law is different you have only one choice; follow it. Until the two of my imposed characteristics of law; general and absolute, are ubiquitously applied, then I believe that law in Cambodia is not used in just one way anymore.

Dim Legal Perspectives In Cambodian Context

Because it is not a mechanism to solve the conflict, we see that law has a very dim light in Cambodian state of affairs. Most of the Cambodian people and international opinions have very little or no confidence at all with Cambodian legal officials, systems and enforcement. This is, I think, the major problem that law is thought as not a good subject for future job prospect for a huge number of students. Because a huge number of students see law as “not money-oriented”, Cambodia is losing a sector that creates employment diversity, specifically jobs related to law.

Since people don’t really trust legal perspective in Cambodia, we see that lawyers are employed very little in the family, companies, factories and other state and business entities.

Conclusion

It is very hard, I believe, to touch the Cambodian legal ground and make my argument efficient in such a piece of paper. But since, I am not the professional ego-issue monitor and analyst, I would rather condense my expression to what are my daily encounters. And I still courageously claim that, Cambodian law is not adequately deployed; just a mechanism to create the conflict. I just want to remind that law must also be deployed as the mechanism to solve the conflict. The result of handicapped usage of law, as we can see, countless turbulences are perpetually stirring; land issues, violent rape, domestic violence, paramount traffic accidents, and increasingly legal downturn and economic downward spiral.

The most vital essence of law, I think, is “justice”, but this justice would have more prospects to be gained, until law becomes day-to-day operation, and not just a piece of paper that any can buy or not to buy.

A car accident is never the same, similar but never the same. So logically a car accident claim can never be the same. Accidents do on the other hand occur in the millions every year, however making a successful compensation claim is difficult to get right if you don’t make the right moves.

All Car Accidents Are Unique

There’s one thing you need to beware of and that is accident ‘management’ companies either attending the scene or hospital. Theses are salespeople who work on a commission basis. You always have the good and the bad ones. Your job would be to distinguish the good from the bad.

99% of the time, these people will want your injury claim. Even if it means by-passing the small print! Another thing to note is, never listen to previous case success stories. What happened in the last case can’t be guaranteed in your case. So don’t fall for the money, settlement time or success stories.

Tips To Make A Successful Car Accident Claim

Car accident injury claims are major players in the ‘personal injury litigation’ market. They are straightforward as liability is admitted and vital information is exchanged at the scene. Information such as driver and insurance details, where the accident took place, when and how. If the police attend the scene, both parties will be given a producer, which states that the accident did occur. Further from there it will be logged on the national database for any inquires.

Now For The Secrets…

A ‘quality’ accident solicitor will explain the procedures in ‘full’ and then ask if you have any questions. Don’t ever say NO! You could be falling into a trap.

Do ask these important questions such as…

• Will I get the ‘whole’ of my compensation? If yes… continue
• Will I need to pay a fee? If no… continue
• Do you recover costs from the other side (i.e. people at fault)? If yes… continue
• Would I need to pay anyone any money once my claim is settled? If no… proceed.

Passengers In A Car Accident

Passengers are innocent victims in a vehicle and can be from either, the fault or non-fault side. Passengers are not in-charge of the vehicle at hand. Therefore they can always make a successful compensation claim provided they have been to a hospital or visited a doctor.

A passenger can be in the form of, a husband, wife, child, cousin or a friend, at fault or not, they are entitled to claim compensation. They can make a claim against the people who have hit them whilst in the car.

Liability acceptance for an accident can cause confusion in itself. Do you think it was your fault?

Either way, you can still make a successful claim!

If on the other hand you are the driver and it is your fault, then you won’t have any success of making a claim, however, the passengers will.

Payment Factors

There are circumstances where compensation payments are reduced for a number of reasons. The most common ones are for not wearing a seat belt, which marginally reduces the payment by 25%. Another major factor is for drink driving. If a passenger knowledgably knew the driver was unfit to drive due to excess intoxication, a reduction will be made accordingly.

There are cases where the driver admits part liability on a proportion basis. Generally it’s 50/50, but it needs to be assessed by an investigator who will examine who’s at fault before concluding. There are even some cases that result to 80/20.

Decision Dilemmas

You DO NOT need to hold back thinking it was your friend’s or family’s car. They pay insurance premiums every year to ensure if anything happens, they’re covered and so are their passengers. You also need NOT WORRY if you were in a taxi, bus, train or any other form of public transport. You can still proceed with an accident compensation claim, as the drivers are insured, as is the taxi, train and bus driver. Companies pay thousands every year in insurance premiums to cover passengers for these unfortunate accidents and injuries.

On speaking to a quality car accident solicitor will you be able to eliminate doubts in your head about payments, fees and procedures!

Sometimes a defendant in a court case cannot raise enough money to cover the entire bail amount. In such instances, the defendant, a relative, or a close family friend can approach a bail bond agent as a co-signer to post the bail. In this case the defendant needs to pay about 10% of the bail amount and provide a collateral to the bail agent for the rest of the amount. The bail agent provides an avenue for the defendant to be out of custody until the day of the trail in court, thus allowing the defendant to continue day-to-day life until the criminal matter is resolved. The bail agent will provide for the many of the defendant’s needs to ensure that the defendant appears before the court as and when summoned. They should always be sure of the defendant’s whereabouts and should be able to locate the defendant in case of forfeit.
Bond agents provide the co-signer or the defendant with the receipts and copies of all signed documents and the information regarding the status of the bond and changes, if any, in assigned court dates. They should provide clear documentation regarding the status of any costs due, which were imposed by the court. The bail agent must be able to provide the timely return of collateral upon exoneration of the bond.
Bail agents charge about 10% of the total amount of the bond, plus the actual, necessary and reasonable expenses incurred in connection to the transaction. The amount of the bail bond has to be determined by the court. The co-signer is responsible in the case of an absconding defendant. In such cases, the bail agent will charge for all the expenses incurred while searching for the defendant from the co-signer. The co-signer must be employed and must be living in the same area for some time, in the event a collateral is not provided.
To become a bail bond agent, the applicant must be 18 years of age and either a citizen of the United States or resident alien. The applicant must have no criminal record in any jurisdiction for the past ten years. An application must come only through a licensed bail bond agency where the applicant is employed, or be licensed as a bail bond agency. The applicant must be able to bear the requisite fee.

Bail Bond Agents provides detailed information on Bail Bond Agents, Bail Bond Companies , Bail Bond License, Bail Bond Schools and more. Bail Bond Agents is affiliated with Law Enforcement Training.

OVERCOME THESE 3 BUYING OBSTACLES
AND INCREASE YOUR SALES
Copyright 2002 Bob Leduc

Do you know how may sales you lose from customers who
almost buy from you? Losing “almost customers” is a major
source of lost income for most businesses. But few are
aware of the problem and even fewer employ a strategy to
prevent this unnecessary loss of income.

Here are the 3 major buying obstacles that cause paying
customers to become “almost customers” …and how you can
easily overcome each obstacle.

1. PROCRASTINATION

Many prospective customers procrastinate after they decide
to buy from you. The benefit they gain from using your
product or service fades in their memory as time passes.
Other things distract them and they soon forget about you.
Procrastination converts your paying customer into another
“almost customer” …causing you to lose the sale.

You can avoid losing these sales by rewarding customers for
taking immediate action and penalizing them if they do not.
For example, create the best irresistible offer you can
afford. Include a specific expiration date. Give your
prospects the option of accepting your offer now or
forfeiting it. This will motivate many procrastinators to
buy now so they don’t miss your special offer.

2. LOW PRIORITY

Some prospective customers don’t buy from you because they
place a higher priority on spending their money for
something else. You can save many of these “almost
customers” by motivating them to make your product or
service their first priority.

One way to boost the priority level of your product or
service in your prospective customer’s mind is to dramatize
the good feeling they will enjoy when they use it. For
example, a financial planner can describe what it feels
like to enjoy an affluent lifestyle without debt. Or a
network marketing recruiter can describe what it feels like
to work at home without a boss.

The irresistible offer I described above for overcoming
procrastination also helps overcome the “low priority”
obstacle. It motivates many “almost customers” to move your
product or service ahead of other purchases so they can
take advantage of your special offer before it expires.

3. DISTRUST

Many prospects are “almost customers” because they are
skeptical of your promises. They bought things in the past
that did not produce the promised results. They don’t want
to risk repeating that experience. Some ways you can
overcome the obstacle of distrust include:

** Eliminate their risk of loss. Offer an unconditional
money back guarantee if your customer does not get the
results he or she expects.

** Prove your record of delivering what you promise.
Provide testimonials from satisfied customers as evidence
you lived up to your promises in the past.

** Provide your customers with direct access to you in
person or by phone if they have a problem. Prospective
customers feel secure and are more likely to buy when they
know they can talk with a real person.

TIP: Direct access to a real person is especially effective
for overcoming distrust when marketing on the Internet
where entire transactions can occur without any personal
contact. Many online sales are lost to distrust because a
web site does not provide the name of any real person or a
phone number to reach a real person at the business.

You probably lose more income than you realize from
customers who almost buy from you. The 3 major buying
obstacles of procrastination, low priority and distrust
cause you to lose these sales. Apply the tactics revealed
in this article to overcome these 3 obstacles …and
convert your “almost customers” into profitable paying
customers.

Lemon law in Wisconsin applies both to purchased and leased vehicles. In the event that the car you purchased turns out to be a lemon as defined by Wisconsin lemon law, the manufacturer is obliged to either replace the vehicle free of charge or provide you with a full refund (minus the amortization allowance for accrued mileage).

It should be noted that lemon laws in the United States differ from state to state and therefore the specific provisions of the Wisconsin lemon law may not be entirely applicable to the lemon law in Ohio, Texas or Missouri. Therefore, while this article deals primarily with lemon law in Wisconsin, it should be understood that you should consult with the specific provisions lemon law in your own state before seeking compensation.

Wisconsin lemon law defines a vehicle as a “lemon” if the defect in the car has prevented you from using the vehicle for at least 30 days (not necessarily consecutive). Alternatively, a vehicle is also defined as a “lemon” if the malfunction cannot be fixed after four attempts by the dealer. In order to be eligible for seeking restitution under Wisconsin lemon law, your case must meet the following criteria:

1. The vehicle must purchased or leased in Wisconsin
2. The vehicle must be a motorcycle, motor home, car or truck
3. The vehicle began exhibiting signs of malfunction within the first year after purchase
4. The vehicle began exhibiting signs of malfunction before the warranty expired
5. The vehicle’s defects seriously impair the vehicle’s use, safety or value
6. Within the first year and before the warranty expired, the dealer either failed to repair the defect after making four attempts, or the vehicle was out of order for at least 30 days (not necessarily consecutive) due to these defects

Wisconsin lemon law differentiates between minor and major malfunctions - in order to be eligible for compensation under the local lemon law, your vehicle must have a serious malfunction that is also covered by the warranty. On the bright side, Wisconsin lemon law does not set a specific deadline within which your claim must be filed - instead, it is up to the court to decide whether your case is too old to be accepted or not.

If you feel that you may have a lemon on your hands and would like to pursue your case in accordance with Wisconsin lemon law, consulting with an attorney is probably the best thing you can do if contacting the manufacturer directly fails. To ensure that you have sufficient evidence to substantiate your legal claim, make sure that you always keep receipts of repair orders, even if no actual repairs have been made.

George Chernikov belives that the Internet is the future of commerce as well as information. One of his websites provides additional information about lemon law and can be found at http://wisconsin-lemon-law.info.

Copyright law was carved out of our fundamental rights system in order to provide artists, writers, and others with a mechanism by which they would be rewarded for their creations by preventing others from copying them for a period of time. This “copyright” has always been coupled with the consumer/user’s right of “fair use” which, among other things, provides for users to make copies of the work for non commercial archival purposes, and recently, for the right to make a copy of works in order to “timeshift,” or enjoy the works at times more convenient than the original performance.

Various distributors of copyrighted materials, notably the software, music and entertainment industries, have added mechanisms by which the user can no longer exercise their fair use rights by making archival copies or timeshifting performances. The Copyright office is now requesting comments regarding whether or not giving the user the right to circumvent these mechanisms is appropriate.

There is substantial evidence produced by software creators, music producers and the rest of the entertainment industry that copying and re-distributing copyrighted works causes harm to those industries in lost sales opportunities. However, that is not necessarily the real issue. The Copyright Office is attempting to determine whether or not as a user who has provided the producer with fees or other consideration, has the right to then make use of the product in accordance with current copyright laws.

An example that is close to my heart is timeshifting and archiving of high definition television signals. I pay DirecTV a substantial amount each month in order to watch high definition signals. DirecTV allows me to download these signals to timeshift via their digital video recorder device. However, the device will not allow me to archive the signals in the same format which they were saved. In order to archive the programming, it must be downgraded unless I circumvent the technology barriers to enjoy my fair use right.

A similar issue occurs when purchasing a DVD. The user pays a fee to view the content of the disc, but is prevented from viewing that content if they leave the country and use a DVD player that is native to their new country. They are also prevented from making an archival copy of the DVD that they have already paid for. The user would have to use circumvention technology in that case to even view the DVD that they have already paid for.

These industries have essentially “taken the law into their own hands” by denying the consumer the right to use fully paid up products as the law allows. While there is no doubt that circumvention technology COULD be used to make and distribute illegal copies of copyrighted materials, that is not the issue that is being addressed by this request for comments. Laws against illegal copying and distribution are already on the books, and are being enforced by harsh civil and criminal sanctions. Yet the consumer’s use to unimpeded fair use of products they have paid for is ignored.

Once a consumer has complied with the fees required by the distributor, the consumer should then have all rights to use the product, including fair use rights. While the distributor should be allowed reasonable means to protect their investment from illegal copying, the consumer should be guaranteed their fair use rights that emanate from the very same Copyright Act that provides protection for the distributor. If circumvention technology is necessary to exercise those fair use rights, the consumer should have the right to use it, but only to the extent that s/he needs to archive, timeshift, or even (in the case of regional prohibitions with DVDs) use the product.

The very phrase “tax attorney” conjures up images of highly qualified legal professionals who spout terminologies you could never understand. Yes, tax laws are very complex and not easily followed by the general public. It does therefore pay to be armed with at least the basics before you file a tax related suit or hire the services of a tax attorney in Fort Worth. Fort Worth is home to a number of tax attorneys. Fort Worth has its own set of laws when it comes to taxes and its related aspects. It is therefore important, that your attorney is specialized not only in taxes, but also in laws related to Fort Worth in particular.

Needless to say, without the help of a talented tax attorney, you may actually end up paying more or even end up facing criminal prosecution. A courtroom if seen from a different perspective is after all a kind of battlefield. Your arms are your tax attorney. You can get vast information on tax attorneys in Fort Worth through online resources. Having knowledgeable friends and acquaintances also helps, to some extent. You can find out more about the tax attorney you are about to hire from referrals also. They would be able to give you a fair idea about the competency of a particular attorney or a legal firm.

With the kind of information available on the Internet related to taxes, almost every citizen is aware of something about taxes. Online resources are also useful when you are trying to locate a tax attorney. Fort Worth is fortunate to have a number of reputed legal firms and tax attorneys. Most of them find mention in online resources.
