WEEK 4 Discussion Forum

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this discussion forum is to identify valid agreements that form contracts. You will draw legal conclusions about the unintended consequences of these agreements upon the political process. Students will recognize particular legal issues inhering to a given case scenario and determine which laws come to bear on the issues towards arriving at a resolution of those issues.

ASSIGNMENT
This week and the next few weeks ahead, we will be discussing contracts. Nondisclosure agreements are also known as “Hush Agreements”. They are contracts, where a person agrees to keep quiet, about an organizations or person’s wrongful conduct and private affairs, for a fee (consideration). These agreements are not illegal as long as the “Hush Agreement” is not being used to conceal a crime. Simply wanting to keep your wrongful conduct or personal matters private is not illegal, and are accomplished by drafting a contract and paying consideration. Please answer the following questions for this discussion:

Do you think we should create laws to make it illegal for any candidate running for President of the United States, to enter into “Hush Agreements (Contracts)”, to prevent the public from knowing about his or her past conduct?

What if the candidate is very knowledgeable and experienced and has other characteristics and qualities that would make him or her a good political candidate. Would your answer to question one change? Please explain in detail why your answer would or would not change.
Initial posting
