If the marriage is legal in Louisiana, it is legal in Florida. This is guaranteed by the US Constitution. You might want to consult an attorney for specifics.

What were three possible drawbacks of the terms in the agreement that endee World War 1?
Possible drawbacks were the extreme punative damages extracted from Germany. Germany was made to pay £6,600 million in damages, an amount that further crippled the German economy. The occupation of the Saar district, a large industrial part of Germany. Without the industrial heartland, Germany was further crippled in it's ability to recover and destablised the government further. By making Germany accept all responsibility for the war, it made Germany a scapegoat for the entire War.

Are compensatory damages the same as punitive?
I think there is no concrete answer to this one as philosophy and opinion play heavily in the issue. Therefore here are my opinions. Yes, as compensatory damage is to compensate the "injured" party for its losses[there can be many different forms]. The purpose of punitive damage is supposed to punish the offending party in the hope that it will prevent a repeat of the same offense, AND ACT AS A DETERRENT to OTHERS who may in the future be tempted to take advantage of the opportunity to commit similar offenses. There are many who feel that punitive damages are unfair as they raise the plaintiff's recovery beyond his loss. I can understand that feeling, BUT I still believe that severe financial punishment is warranted, if proportional to the offense and the POTENTIAL FUTURE RISK to the general public, if allowed to be repeated in the future. I COULD agree with the removal of punitive damages from payment to the plaintiff AND his ATTORNEY[S], IF AND ONLY IF, those funds were donated to charity, or to government programs RELATED to enforcement against the transgression which led to the lawsuit.j3h.

How did the people in England feel about the declaration of independet?
Most of the common people of England felt that the Declaration of Independence was correct. Riots broke out in London with commoners demanding that England fire the king and adopt rule by parliament. Lord North was at his wits end. King George agreed not to veto a repeal of the most draconian laws most hated by the people of England. He also agreed not to veto the repeal of the punative laws so hated by the people of Ireland and Scotland. It would be a while before parliament actually repealed those. Popular preachers took the sermons of John Wesley and John Fletcher and convinced a number of groups not to overthrow the government. Many history books refering to this era claim, "Because of the Methodists, England was spared the revolutions that wrecked Europe." This is the particular event.
Can you get out of the contract if they lied?
It depends on what they lied about was in writing or not. Verbal communications are hard to hold up in a court of law. You must be able to prove that they broke the contract. Read the terms carefully as verbage such as if part becomes invalid then all other parts are still held in place, etc. can force a partial contract. Also look for arbitration clauses. These force you to try arbitration before suing and have a process. I would keep to the letter of the contract until, you are in the clear. You can always get the money, etc back through the courts, if the breach is serious enough. You don't want to be caught on the wrong end of the stick however and being seen as the one breaking the contract. I would get a lawyer if it is serious enough. You can get your court fees, lawyer fees and even possibly punative damages if the entity you are having problems with are found to be in neglegence. You have to think about things before you pull the trigger on an action, as there may be repercussions you haven't thought about.
Do you pay taxes on medical malpractice?
Typically, no. As the settlements serve to repay individuals for money they have already spent or lost due to an injury, the government does not typically deduct from a compensation fund. The above is on the right track, but not complete. Presuming you are speaking of tax due on an award you receive for someones malpractice: It depends on what you are actually getting paid for and your lawyer should absolutely discuss it with you before you agree with it. The amounts that are being paid to compensate you for a loss of something, say your vision, generally would NOT be taxable as they are to restore you to what you had. Any amounts that are repaying you for some loss you already ytook a tax deduction for however would be taxable now. Also, if the payment is specified for something else...say a punative award against the Dr, it generally IS taxable income to you. I guess like a gambling winning. Absolutely, if the award is for wages you lost by whatever the malpractice was.....that would obviously be taxable, as the wages if paid without the malpractice would have been. (There is a link here that seems to indicate otherwise, bu I would have to disagree).
How is tort punished?
In the law of torts, the person who commits a tort is not so much "punished," as the "victim" is compensated or made whole. Unlike criminal law, where the purpose is to punish people for their wrongdoings according to their blameworthiness and vindicate the values of society, tort is primarily about correcting wrongs done to individual victims. Now, normally, this is done in an imperfect way: the tortfeasor pays the victim money. I say that this is imperfect because normally a tort victim has been harmed in some physical way (like the loss of a limb) that cannot be replaced by money alone. However, tort law aims to calculate the total value of the loss and to make the tortfeasor compensate the victim for that loss. In this sense, then, tort is about redistributing loss: taking away from the tortfeasor and giving to the victim. Again, the emphasis is on making the victim "whole." Every once in a while, however, someone will commit a tort that is very egregious, and is part of a systematic risk taken for economic gain. In this case, "punative" damages may be in order which are a form of punishment and do take on a role similar to criminal law. These punitive damages are given to the victim, over and above the compensatory damages, and are always monetary in form.
