This is for AP Euro. Can you proofread my answer on the Hundred Years War. This is just one of Many Midevil topics for my AP Euro Summer Assignment.

Even though they say to write in a paragraph or 2 i went all out and put through a college level analysis. Proofread! How is it? Those who know their history! Easy Ten points!

The Hundred Years’ War was an armed conflict between France and England from 1337 to 1453. This war was actually dozens of little wars and hundreds of battles and sieges that went on for over a century with periods of truce that went in between those battles.

The conflict lasted 116 years but subtracting 2 long periods of truces (1360-1369 and 1389-1453) made the actual war (battles) lasted 81 years. This is why this conflict is named The Hundred Years’ war.

Neither side won in any real sense. This war resulted from disputes between the ruling families of the two countries, the French Capetians and the English Plantagenets, over territories in France and the succession of the French throne.

The background to the conflict can be found Read the rest of this entry »

1)I am married & ONLY daughter from a Hindu family lineage
2)We are from Karnataka state
3)My father inherited ancestral coffee plantation and an ancestral home
a.Succession: My great grandfather -> my grandfather -> father -> my generation
4)My father suddenly and prematurely passed away in November of 2009 without leaving a WILL
5)My mother, my only brother (3 years younger than me) and I (only daughter) survive my father
6)In 1999, my father had done crop partition with 3 parts. 1/3 for my mother, 1/3 for my brother and 1/3 for himself. Nothing for me
7)The ancestral home was NOT partitioned
8)My father had taken crop loan in my mother’s, brother’s & his name for maintaining the plantation
9)In addition, my father was an engineer and built a house in Bangalore in 1996 – 1997. My bother and his family have been living there.
10)GUESSING: The Bangalore house may have been built using combined funds from his engineering earnings and perhaps from ancestral property funds (This is a guess)
11)Until my father passed away in November of 1999, I was not aware of any of this.
12)Neither my father, my mother nor my brother told me about the partition or the loan NOR did anyone procure my signature or my consent either verbally or in writing.
13)Ever since father’s demise my mother & my brother have told me that none of this is my business
14)My brother has explicitly stated that the ancestral house is only his (meaning not even my mother’s)

Questions:
1)According to the HSA of 1956, Karnataka Amendment of 1994 and HSA 2005, am I entitled to an equal share of ancestral coffee plantation and the ancestral house?
2)Am I entitled to an equal share of the separate property – Bangalore house?
3)Can my mother & my brother sell the ancestral coffee plantation and/or the ancestral house without my signature/written consent?
4)If they do sell & take all the money, what am I to do?

Questions:
1) According to the HSA of 1956, Karnataka Amendment of 1994 and HSA 2005, am I entitled to an equal share of ancestral coffee plantation and the ancestral house?

YES, as a daughter you have right and equal share as son in the ancestral as well self acquired property of the Hindu Family as well the deceased Hindu father. Always remember this golden rule as a Hindu Copacener you have share in the Copacenary/ancestral property by birth in the Hindu family.

2) Am I entitled to an equal share of the separate property – Bangalore house?

YES, as a daughter you have equal share as son in the self acquired property of the father provided he left no Will regarding it i.e. it is intestate property.

3) Can my mother & my brother sell the ancestral coffee plantation and/or the ancestral house without my signature/written consent?

NO, they cannot do it legally, however you should give legal notice to them regarding this and seek partition of all the properties and your share in whole of the properties in question whether ancestral or self acquired of your father.

4) If they do sell & take all the money, what am I to do?

You can move the civil court seeking relief against them to share the money they so obtained after selling the disputed properties.

Doubtless, there is a universal justice emanating from reason alone; but this justice, to be admitted among us, must be mutual. Humanly speaking, in default of natural sanctions, the laws of justice are ineffective among men: they merely make for the good of the wicked and the undoing of the just, when the just man observes them towards everybody and nobody observes them towards him. Conventions and laws are therefore needed to join rights to duties and refer justice to its object. In the state of nature, where everything is common, I owe nothing to him whom I have promised nothing; I recognise as belonging to others only what is of no use to me. In the state of society all rights are fixed by law, and the case becomes different.

But what, after all, is a law? As long as we remain satisfied with attaching purely metaphysical ideas to the word, we shall go on arguing without arriving at an understanding; and when we have defined a law of nature, we shall be no nearer the definition of a law of the State.

I have already said that there can be no general will directed to a particular object. Such an object must be either within or outside the State. If outside, a will which is alien to it cannot be, in relation to it, general; if within, it is part of the State, and in that case there arises a relation between whole and part which makes them two separate beings, of which the part is one, and the whole minus the part the other. But the whole minus a part cannot be the whole; and while this relation persists, there can be no whole, but only two unequal parts; and it follows that the will of one is no longer in any respect general in relation to the other.

But when the whole people decrees for the whole people, it is considering only itself; and if a relation is then formed, it is between two aspects of the entire object, without there being any division of the whole. In that case the matter about which the decree is made is, like the decreeing will, general. This act is what I call a law.

When I say that the object of laws is always general, I mean that law considers subjects en masse and actions in the abstract, and never a particular person or action. Thus the law may indeed decree that there shall be privileges, but cannot confer them on anybody by name. It may set up several classes of citizens, and even lay down the qualifications for membership of these classes, but it cannot nominate such and such persons as belonging to them; it may establish a monarchical government and hereditary succession, but it cannot choose a king, or nominate a royal family. In a word, no function which has a particular object belongs to the legislative power.

On this view, we at once see that it can no longer be asked whose business it is to make laws, since they are acts of the general will; nor whether the prince is above the law, since he is a member of the State; nor whether the law can be unjust, since no one is unjust to himself; nor how we can be both free and subject to the laws, since they are but registers of our wills.

We see further that, as the law unites universality of will with universality of object, what a man, whoever he be, commands of his own motion cannot be a law; and even what the Sovereign commands with regard to a particular matter is no nearer being a law, but is a decree, an act, not of sovereignty, but of magistracy.

I therefore give the name "Republic" to every State that is governed by laws, no matter what the form of its administration may be: for only in such a case does the public interest govern, and the res publica rank as a reality. Every legitimate government is republican;10 what government is I will explain later on.

Laws are, properly speaking, only the conditions of civil association. The people, being subject to the laws, ought to be their author: the conditions of the society ought to be regulated solely by those who come together to form it. But how are they to regulate them? Is it to be by common agreement, by a sudden inspiration? Has the body politic an organ to declare its will? Who can give it the foresight to formulate and announce its acts in advance? Or how is it to announce them in the hour of need? How can a blind multitude, which often does not know what it wills, because it rarely knows what is good for it, carry out for itself so great and difficult an enterprise as a system of legislation? Of itself the people wills always the good, but of itself it by no means always sees it. The general will is always in the right, but the judgment which guides it is not always enlightened. It must be got to see objects as they are, and sometimes as they ought to appear to it; it must be shown the good road it is in search of, secured from the seductive influences of individual wills, taught to see times and spaces as a series, and made to weigh the attractions of present and sensible advantages against the danger of distant and hidden evils.
