In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. the Supreme Court of the United States “must decide in these cases whether [RFRA] permits [HHS] to demand that three closely held corporations provide health insurance coverage for methods of contraception that violate the sincerely held religious beliefs of the companies’ owners” (1). In outlining the issues for the decision, the Court must first decide whether or not corporations can sue under RFRA then employ the Sherbet test as was reinstated through RFRA to determine whether or not there exists a substantial burden on the free exercise of religion as established in the 1st amendment, and whether or not the interests of the government outweigh such a burden. While the question of a slippery slope is not directly raised by the lawsuit, both the majority and the dissent consider it to determine the effects of the decisions being made. In response to the first question of corporate personhood, the majority argues that because “a corporation is simply a form of organization used by human beings” that “allowing [the companies] to assert RFRA claims protects the religious liberty of the [owners]” (7-8). The dissent, disagreed, believing that allowing corporations to sue under RFRA creates the potential for large corporations to seek exemption from many more laws while citing immeasurable religious beliefs. Although both opinions agreed that providing the contested contraceptives is a compelling government interest, the majority believes

Very quickly, I still think the answer is no. Assuming the officer was responding to an emergency and entering unannounced and unescorted, I believe he should have anticipated the guard dog as a possibility. Were there “Beware of Dog” signs or any similar warnings? If yes, then he definitely should have anticipated it. Plus, I would think that officers are trained to anticipate a guard dog or other similar dangers when entering a premise, especially if unannounced or unescorted. However, if the owner escorted the officer in or invited him in and did not warn the officer of the dog, then he could state a claim.

In the case of Varner v. National Super Markets, 94 F.3d 1209 (8th Cir. 1996), cert. denied, 519 U.S. 1110 (1997), Ms. Varner was severely harassed by a coworker and her fiance reported the harassment to the manger of the store (Walsh, 2013). Since it was stated in the company policy that the victim was report the harassment themselves to the human resource department, the manager did not do anything about the reports (Walsh, 2013). Sexual harassment is widespread and up to half of women in the workforce experience it at some point, but it is rare to have a formal complaint filed (Vijayasiri, 2008).

Religious rights of the individual have always been an issue because of the very diverse world we live in. This causes issues for the courts who then have to make a decision in regards to something very personal to people. In the case of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores the issue lies in the religious rights of a private corporation not wanting to provide certain forms of birth control because it violates their personal beliefs as devout Christians. The Supreme Court should not have ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby because this sets the precedent of allowing certain individuals to be exempt from laws and regulations imposed on other corporations. But not every justice agrees, Ginsburg

Offer is the promise made by the offeror. Generally, advertisement is the invitation to treat. Invitation to treat is different to the offer, so the advertisement is not an offer. (Partridge v Crittenden［1968］ 1 WLR 1204)
