First of all, if you're in LD debate and looking for Value-Criterion and such, you really ought to try www.decorabilia.blogspot.com and www.debate.com. They have many different value-criterion options, and many ideas on contentions. Also very helpful would be http://plato.stanford.edu/ . Look up possible value-criterion. Usually the first section of the articles that pop up are helpful. And since this is the resolution, I'm assuming you are an LDer and you know there are two answers. ^_^ The AFF appears much easier. I'll go over both for you. Affirmative Possible Values include: Protection of Freedom and Liberties, Protection of Human Rights, Justice, Rule of Law (Or something similar, of course). Criterion are up to you once you make a case. Contention options: Look up the Blackwater Case, recently. Look up World War II in America. Hint: What did we do to the Japanese? Negative Possible Values include: National Sovereignty/Nationalism, Justice, I can't think of any others. Criterion, once again up to you. Contention options: National Security Anti-Terroism Self-Development Hope it was helpful. Probably not. I'm working on my cases, currently. Luck at rounds ^_^

Why is common law marriage not acknowledge in Maryland but in other states?

Common law marriage is not recognized in most states.

Many states never allowed common law marriage and many states have abolished it deeming such difficult to prove legal unions contrary to public policy. Common law divorce does not exist. A couple that creates a common law marriage must end it by a civil divorce decree.

Recognition of common law marriage is extremely limited in the United States. In most jurisdictions where it is recognized simply cohabitating will not create a common law marriage.There are other requirements that must be met such as declaring you intend to create a marriage, holding yourselves out as a married couple, etc. Several states recognize common law marriage: Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, and Texas. New Hampshire law provides for posthumous recognition of common-law marriage for purposes of inheritance. Utah will recognize a common-law marriage if the parties get a judicial decree stating a common law-marriage exists or existed between them.

If the court of a member state decides it's necessary,it may ask the ECJ to take a look at the case. If the national court doesn't think the ECJ is needed, there is no problem. So the national court has a right to go to the ECJ.

If the ruling of the national court bears negative consequences for the individual, he or she can't directly appeal to the ECJ. The individual needs to proceed to the highest court of appeal in the particular member state before going to the ECJ.
