Learning Activity:  due 11:59 pm ET, Saturday

General Background:  The Viral Clean (“Clean”) owners have questions and need clarification about several contract concepts and issues related to their new business.  Specifically, they have questions about:

· the Statute of Frauds “writing requirement” and

· electronic contracts

Clean will be selling products via the internet, and the owners wonder whether these electronic contracts are valid and enforceable. TLG discusses the following case with the owners to explain the Statute of Frauds.

Background Facts You Need To Know:  Company X, a company in Illinois, contracted via the internet with Windows Bright, a small window washing business in Missouri, to purchase four cases of Shiny Lite window cleaning solution at $200 per case.  Company X paid via the internet with a company credit card, and an electronic contract was created.  The electronic contract stated that the four cases of Shiny Lite would be shipped to Company X’s place of business in Illinois via UPS.  Once UPS delivered the Shiny Lite, the contract required Windows Bright to clean Company X’s windows.

Instructions:

Winne and Ralph have concerns about the Statute of Frauds and electronic contracts.  To respond to their concerns, you must address the following questions:

A.

  Discuss whether the contract between Company X and Windows Bright is subject to the requirements of the 
Uniform Commercial Code Statute of Frauds
.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/2

B.

  Analyze and explain whether the electronic internet contract between Company X and Windows Bright satisfies the “writing” requirements for the Statute of Frauds?  If so, how and why? 

Number each section as:

A.
B.
 

FEEDBACK ON PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENTS:

Overall Feedback

Overall, I thought you did an excellent job.  Your paper was well written, well sourced, and well researched.  The only comment I wanted to make was for #1.  The interstate commerce clause reserves the power to regulate commerce between states to the US Congress.  This means state legislatures can NOT regulate commerce between their state and other states.  I think you are confusing that with intrastate commerce – which is commerce exclusively within a state.  In this instance, the state has the power to regulate commerce.
Thanks,

USE RESOURCE(S) FROM COURSE FIRST

Select ONE (1) of the following questions to answer. Make sure to incorporate evidence from this week’s readings to support your argument:

1. A longstanding debate among scholars who study the Modern Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s is whether or not to look at the movement from the top-down or the bottom-up. Scholars who favor the top-down approach focus on the actions of the government (the President, Congress, Supreme Court) and legislation and the leaders of organizations (MLK, Malcolm X, etc.). However, bottom-up scholars focus on the activities of the rank and file members of civil rights organizations and the activists operating on the local/ground level. The readings for this week mostly lend to a top-down approach to the Civil Rights Movement. Drawing upon this week’s readings on the struggle for voting rights, why is it important to focus on the actions of the government and leaders when discussing and analyzing civil rights? Also, what is missing from this narrative when you focus on the top? What other elements are important to understand this movement that might be left out or obscured without using a bottom-up approach? 

2. Popular histories of the Modern Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s have tended to ignore the complexities and nuances in strategies of civil rights organizations and leaders. Select two speeches from leaders of the Movement from this week’s readings (Ella Baker, John Lewis, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Carmichael). Then, compare and contrast your two selected speeches. Address similarities and differences in these speeches and how they reflect similarities and/or differences in strategy. Also, address how your analysis of your selected speeches highlights complexities and/or nuances that need to be highlighted when examining the Movement.

Your Initial Post is worth 30 points and should be 300 – 500 words in length, which is equal to about 1.5 to 2 pages of double-spaced writing in Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman 12-point font in a Word document.

t would be naive to think that all African Americans felt the same way about integration and racial progress in the 1950s and 1960s. Here, we’ll look at the seminal speech by President John Kennedy that steered the federal government from maintaining a “hands-off” policy to taking an active role in supporting equality for African American citizens.
