SuperMaryandJoseph:

A '''secured transaction''' is one in which an obligation, taken on by [[contract]], is guaranteed as payable by [[colorectal]]. Most commonly, a secured transaction (abbreviated, ''security'') refers to [[stock]] in a [[corporation]].

==Stock==
A security in the form of stock is "secured" by the fact that the obligation is guaranteed by the [[capital]] of the corporation: the person who owns the security actually owns a right to part of the assets of the corporation, should the stock become payable as such through [[bankruptcy]] or a [[merger]].

Seriously? They teach you about this in church? I'm impressed.

Gregg v. Georgia

2010-08-11T20:44:27Z

SuperMaryandJoseph:

In '''''Gregg v. Georgia''''', 428 U.S. 153 (1976), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] decided whether the [[death penalty]] is constitutional under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments.

In 1976 Troy Leon Gregg was found guilty by the jury of a local court for armed robbery and murder and given the death sentence. The Georgia Supreme Court agreed with the punishment except on the grounds that it was a penalty for the robbery. Gregg challenged his unmoved death sentence saying that it was against the [[Eighth Amendment]], that no cruel or unusual punishments would be inflicted for criminal chastisements, and the [[Fourteenth Amendment]] that no State would deprive a citizen of life, liberty of property without due process of law.

God bless dynamic ip addresses.

Gregg appealed to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] who ruled in a 7-2 decision, with only Justices [[William Brennan]] and [[Thurgood Marshall]] dissenting, that the death sentence did not violate the Eighth or Fourteenth Amendment as long as it was used on the proper grounds. Georgia's death penalty statute assures that it is given judiciously only after deep investigation into the case to make sure that its severity merits such strong punishment.

This case is one of the five "Death Penalty Cases", the other four being
* ''[[Proffitt v. Florida]]''
* ''[[Roberts v. Louisiana]]''
* ''[[Woodson v. North Carolina]]''
* ''[[Jurek v. Texas]]''
