6 mini essays–200 words each 2 references, in-text citations – Federalism results from the interaction between the different layers of government. Many issues are discussed not in terms of right and wrong, but who is responsible for addressing the issue. Immigration has long been a federal issue. However, in 2010 the state of Arizona passed a controversial bill (Senate Bill 1070) that essentially gave power to the state to implement immigration law. Several sections of this bill were deemed unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. This situation is a prime example of the conflict federalism can create. Please provide your opinion on immigration within the context of federalism.

The business essay is in the area of Financial Management at Masters level

answer the scenarios questions in a 4-5 page essay double spaced: 1.Suppose you own a shipping business and have your own fleet of trucks. When you hired your truck drivers you did a thorough background check and made sure they all had clean driving records. However, recently you had more business than you could handle with your existing fleet and used an independent contractor for some of your shipping. This independent contractor ends up getting in a huge accident and destroying some of your client’s merchandise in the process. Your client finds out that this independent contractor, unlike your own employees, does not have a good driving record and has had his driving license revoked or suspended on several occasions. Are you liable for the damages your client faced? 2. Now suppose as owner of your business you have been generally satisfied with the performance of all of your employees. But one of your employees begins to slip a bit in their performance and has also gotten on your nerves a bit recently. One day when you are in a bad mood you decide to fire this employee without any kind of warning. However, a few days later you begin to worry about legal consequences even though none of your employees have contracts and your employee handbook states that anyone can be terminated at your own discretion. What kind of legal risks, if any, do you face for terminating this employee? 3. You are the owner of an Italian restaurant famous for your very tasty pesto sauce that no other restaurant in the city can beat. As a result of your tasty recipes, you are the only successful Italian restaurant in town. To protect your business from potential competitors, you make all new chefs that you hire sign a noncompetition agreement that forbids them from opening up an Italian restaurant anywhere in the U.S. for five years if they leave. Would such an agreement be likely to hold up in court if one of your chefs violates it? 4. Now suppose you are the owner of a company and have designated your personal assistant as your purchasing agent for the purchase of all office supply orders of less than $500. Your assistant makes a purchase of some discount office supplies for a total price of $450. You are unhappy with the quality of these supplies but there is a no-return policy for these supplies since there were purchased in a special clearance sale. Are you obligated to pay the $450 even though you did not specifically approve this purchase? 5. You are the owner of a retail business, and you have fallen behind for many months on your loan repayments to the bank (you owe a total of $100,000). The bank has become fed up and now wants you to hand them over all of your remaining company funds to pay back the loan. However, the holiday shopping season is coming up in a few months and this is where you typically do 60-70% of your business for the year. Without your company funds you will not be able to pay your rent and pay your staff, so you will not be able to pay back the bank until after the holiday season. If you end up needing to file for bankruptcy, what type do you think would be most appropriate for this situation – Chapter 7, Chapter 11, or Chapter 13?

Articles published in established newspapers or business journals/magazines are preferred. If you find articles on the Internet, make sure they are from a credible source.
