When it comes to the work force, there are certain state and federal regulations that will govern certain aspects in terms of labor laws. An example has to do with the interview process when people apply for a job or position. There are certain federal and state statutes that will restrict what kind of questions can be asked during an interview. 

 

 

Generally speaking, questions asked that have nothing to do with the position or job are considered to be illegal interview questions. Any questions that are asked in regards to personal information of the applicant are also considered to be illegal interview questions, though there may be limited exceptions. These exceptions can be in regards to how the question itself was asked and whether determining a particular aspect of personal information was for the purpose of the evaluation of the applicant for the strict purpose of the job or position available. 

 

 

Illegal interview questions can sometimes be hard to determine, though in broad terms, any questions that can used on the basis for discrimination can be considered to be illegal interview questions. This would include any inquiries in regards to race, sex, color, religion, age, marital status, birthplace, and origin are all to be regarded as illegal interview questions. 

 

 

In the case that illegal interview questions such as these are asked during a particular interview, one could possibly file a charge of discrimination against the employer with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Any kind of motor vehicle racing that is done in public streets is usually considered to be illegal street racing. Illegal racing will encompass any racing activity which is not properly sanctioned or allowed by law. In some cases, there may be some street racing that is part of a sanctioned sports racing event, though this is fairly uncommon in the United States. 

Illegal street racing has been a problem that has evolved over time, though it can be said to have begun since the 1930s. Many will place illegal racing as originating in the United States as the result of Prohibition, when automobiles were used to transport illegal alcohol to speakeasies and similar establishments. Illegal racing is usually considered as such due to the dangers that it poses because of the fact that they take place in uncontrolled environments. This places danger both to those involved in the illegal street racing activity as well other other motorists and pedestrians on the road. 

There are there are various illegal street racing that exist, though the most common may be drag racing, drifting or touge racing, and cannonball races. Drag racing usually involves two cars or motor vehicles driving in straight line for a pre-determined distance, typically 1/4 mile. The driver that makes it to the final destination first is declared the winner. 

Drifting or touge racing was developed in Japan and involves racing of two vehicles for time. However, there are certain rules in determining who is the winner and is usually done in a format of best out of three. Cannonball races or runs are simply rallies that traverse a certain distance and reaching certain destinations. These usually involve multiple racers. 

Legal tender refers to a method to conduct a payment which is recognized under the law as a proper ways to extinguish or settle a debt. Legal tender, can therefore, be deemed to include all forms of money. However, legal tender does have certain definitions in particular jurisdictions. 

In certain regions, anything that is not considered to be currency or money is not accepted as a form of legal tender. This may include checks and credit and debit cards. In essence, anything that is not a cash method is usually not defined under legal tender. Legal tender, therefore, would include coins and notes are currency by definition. 

In the United States, legal tender before 1853 were all measured and weighted in terms of their exact value of either silver or gold. That is to say that a silver 50 cent coin contained 50 cents worth of silver, and a one dollar coin contained exactly one dollar’s worth of gold. However, cash or money in terms of a note would not be implemented until the American Civil War, where Demand Notes were printed to pay dues to the government. 

The legal tender notes would finally be backed by treasury securities with the Legal Tender Act of 1862, rather than placing their value in relation to gold values at the time. An important aspect to consider is the the demonetization of currency in the United States is currently prohibited, which means that coins that were considered legal tender, such as gold coins from 1933, can still be considered as legal tender and accepted currency.
