Joe, Jacinta, Mohammed, and Tiffany are all on the list to receive a kidney donation. A kidney has just come available that is compatible with each of them. This would be his/her first transplant. None of them are or have been drug or alcohol abusers. Joe is a 25 yr-old fairly healthy successful defense attorney who has been on the list for only three months. Jacinta is a 15 yr-old physically fit honors student who wants to be a doctor. She has been on the list for just a month. Mohammed is a 50 yr-old high school history teacher (loved by his students) in poor health. He has been on the list for a year. Tiffany is a 30 yr-old housewife (with three young children) in fair health. She has been on the list for a year and a half. Use one of the theories listed above to explain and demonstrate the process you (as the person who determines who will get the kidney) use to decide who will receive the kidney. The only rules for getting the kidney are the ones you make. According to your analysis, what would be the morally correct thing to do? Why? (In other words, for whichever theory you choose, explain not only the process but the result of having used that process.)
The theories you may choose from are: Natural Law Theory, Virtue Ethics (list the virtues), Ethics of Prima Facie Duty (list the duties)

Is the U.S. Constitution an Inherently progressive document?
Chapters 1 - 3 should have provided you a grounding by which to answer the above question. You read about the ideals that lead to the American Revolution, the crafting of the U.S. Constitution, and the complexities of federalism, so now please read the following exchange (Links to an external site.1*) with Erwin Chemerinsky, a constitutional law professor at UC Berkeley. I also suggest you listen to this podcast on The Ezra Klein Show titled The Constitution is a Progressive Document (Links to an external site.2**).

Using these lists:
ones = [ "I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX" ]
tens = [ "X", "XX","XXX", "XL", "L", "LX", "LXX", "LXXX", "XC"
]
hundreds = [ "C", "CC", "CCC", "CD", "D", "DC", "DCC", "DCCC",
"CM","M" ]
Convert these list to named tuples and store them in a class. Then write a member function(s) for the class to convert a 'int' to a 'roman numeral'. in the range of 1 to 1000. Use comprehensions, map, reduce or join where appropriate.

Question #1: Suppose that you are the economic advisor to a local government that has to deal with a politically embarrassing surplus that was caused by a price floor that the government recently imposed. Your first suggestion is to get rid of the price floor, but the politicians don’t want to do that. Instead, they present you with the following list of options that they hope will get rid of the surplus while keeping the price floor. Identify each one as either could work or can’t work.
