Why does Liechtenstein have a prince instead of a king?
53c04u
[{"answer": "Because Liechtenstein was never a kingdom. It was a Principality in the Holy Roman Empire, and the ruler of a Principality is called a Prince."}, {"answer": "Basically Lichtenstein was a part of the Holy Roman Empire (Germany and some other bits) and became independent after Napoleon Bonaparte broke it up. Whilst a number of the stronger entities in the Empire changed the title of their rulers to king and most of the rest got gobbled up by these new kingdoms; Lichtenstein was too weak to promote itself and avoided getting eaten. Eventually most of the rest of Germany united to form modern Germany; but again Lichtenstein managed to avoid getting absorbed so it remains a modern state with a ruling prince. Just to be clear prince is a translation of Furst. It doesn't mean the same thing as the modern english definition of prince (ie male relative of royalty). Whilst there were a number of things that used the various forms of the title; generally it referred to something between a count (graf) and a Duke (Herzog)."}, {"answer": "A monarch doesn't have to be a king in order to be a monarch. In fact, at the time when pretty much all of Europe was ruled by monarchs, there was a heirarchy of monarchies: emperors ranked highest of all, then came kings, archdukes, grand dukes, princes and dukes. However, there were many different kinds of prince (and we're talking about monarchs, not cadets of royal families, which is the more familiar meaning of \"prince\"), and the Prince of Liechtenstein is actually a type of prince known as a F\u00fcrst. This was a ruler of a principality within the Holy Roman Empire, so effectively the F\u00fcrst of Liechtenstein's boss was the Holy Roman Emperor. That ended when the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, Liechtenstein somehow managing to retain its sovereignty. It's now left as a microstate, a hangover from previous times."}, {"answer": "Prince here is actually a translation of F\u00fcrst, Liechtenstein is a F\u00fcrstentum. F\u00fcrst was the ruler of a principality of the Holy Roman Empire, it doesn't have the same meaning as the modern definition of prince (a son of a king etc)."}, {"provenance": [{"wikipedia_id": "774142", "title": "Johann II, Prince of Liechtenstein", "section": "Section::::Abstract.", "start_paragraph_id": 1, "end_paragraph_id": 1, "meta": {"evidence_span": ["Johann II (; 5 October 1840 11 February 1929), also known as Johann II the Good (\"Johann II der Gute\"), was the Prince of Liechtenstein between 1858 and 1929.

But historically, when USSR collapsed, many state-owned industries like oil or mineral mines were privatized and granted to high-ranking party members (incl Putin, kgb) and he and many other oligarchs capitalized on their newfound wealth and power by working together politically to protect their assets. After decades of continued corruption, consolidation, and cooperation, the oligarchs still control Russia. Putin may be singular in his wealth and power, but there are many of his ilk, who thrive under his protection, and so his reign is very stable. He may or may not be the worlds best blackmail artist, and was known even early in his career for his cunning. This collectively silenced opposition that wasn\u2019t outright destroyed by his police and military forces (see Ukraine). As far as the question of trump and collusion, I believe DT may feasibly be an unwitting agent of Putin, handled by multiple advisors with more direct connections to the kremlin.

[{"answer": "Let\u2019s start from the beginning. What is a social security number? It\u2019s a 9-digit number you are assigned from either birth in the U.S. or when you move to the U.S. to become a citizen or permanent resident. Social Security is a program in the U.S. designed to provide the elderly with an income once they reach a certain age (currently 66 but changes depending on a few different factors). The income the elderly receive depends upon what they made in income over the course of their lives. It\u2019s more complicated than that, but you get the picture. When Americans file their federal income taxes every year, this is when they report to the government how much they made in income. In addition to that, over the course of the year, they have contributed to social security (through taxes). When they file the taxes, it is all filed by your social security number. Financial Institutions use social security numbers as a way of identifying individuals in the U.S. It is the only identification that every single (legal) American has. Not every American has a passport or driver\u2019s license or state ID. When I say Financial Institutions, I also mean Creditors. Your social security number is linked to your credit and credit score. What\u2019s a credit score? At the most basic level, this score tells Financial Institutions if you pay your bills and manage money well. Your credit score will be evaluated when you rent an apartment, apply for a mortgage, apply for a credit card, take out a car loan, etc. The biggest concern with this is identity theft. Someone could pretend to be you if they obtained your social security number. Now, a Financial Institution may ask for more than just your Social Security Number. But how hard is it now-a-days to get someone\u2019s birthday, address, phone number, mother\u2019s maiden name? Have access to Facebook? You now have all that information. If a Credit Card application comes in the mail, it\u2019s easy to sign up for a credit card with someone else\u2019s social security number. So, what happens if your identity IS stolen? If you like headaches, you\u2019ll like getting your identity stolen. Ideally, once you got a notice that a credit card in your name is due for $10,000, you would call the company, tell them your identity was stolen, and they\u2019d shut it down and fix your credit. In reality? Sure, they may cancel the card at your request, but they may ask for proof that your identity was stolen and you didn\u2019t really spend $10,000. How do you prove you didn\u2019t spend $10,000? And even if all of that was cleared up (ya know, in 5 years), they probably wouldn\u2019t bother fixing your credit score."}, {"answer": "In American a Social Security Number is often used as a unique identification that is tied to you and only you. In many official documents or requests, you are asked to provide it in order to \"prove\" that you are the person the document or request is intended for. A social security number, by itself, isn't likely to do anything, but combined with easily discovered information (your name, address, e-mail address), they could potentially impersonate you and gain access to a variety of accounts or records."}, {"answer": "The biggest problem with it is that it is used both as an \"ID\" and as a \"password\" (I read this analogy on reddit a few days ago). In order to identify yourself, you have to give it to everyone and their mother - bank, work, doctor's office, insurance companies, car rental companies, drugstore, etc. However, you are also often asked for your SS# to prove that you are you. It would be really silly if it weren't so serious. \"Hmm, you want to set up a credit card with our company? I need your name and SS#.\" Yes, as a matter of fact, credit card companies and lots of other places operate on the premise that if someone knows your name and SS# they are in fact you. Prove that you are you by telling us a number that you HAVE to give out to literally hundreds of companies for all kinds of reasons."}, {"answer": "The problem with the Social Security Number in the United States is that it is used both for identification and authentication. It uniquely identifies you, and you're supposed to keep it a secret so that you can verify who you are. For example, when I call my bank, they ask me for the last four digits, in addition to previously established security questions. This question came up once before in another subreddit. There are companies like TransUnion and TRW that maintain databases full of information on people; I have access to some of them at work. With a person's Social Security Number, I can get their name, address, probably a phone number (even a mobile number), probably the names of their parents. If they own a home, I can get the bank that holds the loan and the amount they owe; same for cars or other large ticket items. Depending on which state they live in, I can get voter registration information, hunting license, boating license, and professional licenses (is the person a doctor or a lawyer?) Once I have all that information, thanks to social media web sites I can also probably get where the person went to college and high school, the names of childhood pets, streets they lived on as a child, etc. People just don't lock down Facebook the way they should. Once I have all that information, I have everything I need to steel their identity, I can get access to bank accounts, open new credit cards and run up massive amounts of debt, and so on."}, {"answer": "Super short version for five year olds: You see kiddo, the US doesn't have a national ID system. But every citizen is issued a *Super Secret Number*, which entitles them to some money if they become disabled or elderly and unable to work. Americans aren't known for doing things efficiently or logically, so when other government programs and high level private entities (banks, insurance, etc) needed some sort of uniform identification scheme.. They chose the SSN, because it was already there (even though it explicitly says on the card not to be used for ID purposes). This is generally a terrible idea as the SSN was never intended to be used for identification, and correspond with any central repository of information with your address, physical descriptors, or photo like a typical State ID does. This is why you have to keep it secret, because it's absurdly easy for anyone to steal your identity and falsify forms if they have your SSN. You can use someone's SSN to be admitted to the hospital, open bank and credit accounts, submit a background check, rent a dwelling, and of course draw state/federal benefits. Most American businesses use this horribly insecure method of confirming that the name you've provided is real, but only some of them require secondary identification in addition to the absurdly easy to misuse SSN. Maybe someday we'll wise up and create a real national ID program. *Maybe someday.*"}, {"provenance": [{"wikipedia_id": "48728", "title": "Social Security (United States)", "section": "Section::::Current operation.:Social Security number.\n", "start_paragraph_id": 144, "end_paragraph_id": 144, "meta": {"evidence_span": ["A side effect of the Social Security program in the United States has been the near-universal adoption of the program's identification number, the Social Security number, as the \"de facto\" U.S. national identification number.

Sometimes it's outside the statute of limitations, and investigations in general are much more difficult years down the line."}, {"answer": "A corporation is an intangible concept. It's not possible to throw it in prison; the concept doesn't even make sense. All a company has are assets, employees, and activities, not a body. You can seize assets (i.e. fining them). You can restrict its activities (but see below). You can't just jail employees, because you can't jail anyone who didn't *personally* do something wrong. As for fines vs. restricting activities, there's not a whole lot you can do to punish a company by restricting its activities that won't just kill it. If you suspend corporate operations for a year, every employee will have found a new job by the end of that year and the company is gone. If you bar a company from competing in its market, it'll likely go bankrupt (and again, employees will tend to jump ship)."}, {"answer": "There really isn't a way to \"imprison\" a company. And, at least in the U.S., companies can really only be convicted of crimes if some individual committed a crime (and that individual is usually punished). There are places that have a \"corporate death penalty\" where the assets of a company are seized when the company is convicted of a crime, but that's not necessarily better than just fining the company proportionate to the crime it committed. (If you were the victim's family, would you rather the company be seized by the state or the company pay you money for your harm?)"}, {"answer": "If it was negligence to the point of illegality then people could very well be arrested and imprisoned. URL_0 However, corporations do stuff that is dangerous and accidents happen. If they follow the rules, accidents can still happen."}, {"answer": "I'm studying criminology at the moment. A substantial part of the course that I'm studying is on the relationship between *power* and the definition of crime. It's argued that those with power can influence the definition of crime in order to preserve their own interests. For (hypothetical) example, in the war on drugs, the government may decide to be particularly punitive to dealers who sell dangerous drugs to university students. As most of these dealers don't have much of a voice (what with being outlaws) this law will be unopposed. If the same government decides to extend the mandatory length of testing for a new antidepresent, following reports of student suicides, there's likely to be a lot of money thrown at the campaign and lobby groups to get them to reconsider. So we consider one drug related death as a clear crime, whereas the other is never really criminalised, so can't be punished. Edit: or at least that's what I've gathered so far. I'm only about three months in to a year long course."}, {"answer": "Companies can be and are charged with manslaughter. If convicted they can be fined, or shut down. They can't be imprisoned, because the physical embodiment is a certificate locked in some lawyer's filing cabinet.

Since the ink (in most ball point pens) is gravity fed, storing the pens point up is not ideal, and frequently the pint will come to rest at the bottom of whatever cup or basket pens are stored in.
