Were the British justified in burning down the Senate building and White House as military targets or was it a totally unnecessary crime? Explain!

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Were the British justified in burning down the Senate building and White House as military targets or was it a totally unnecessary crime?

From the perspective of the British troops, the burning down of the White House was justified because the British knew that Washington was the center and a strategic place for the Americans. The British knew that these actions would diminish the morale of the inexperienced Army of the new nation.

The Senate and the White House had symbolic importance in the strategy of the British Army and their burning was seen as a key decision to capture the region.

Some authors and historians refer to the concept of total war, in which destroying the resources of the enemy are vital so they cannot use them to regroup.

This was not the case, but the British knew that they could hit hard on key public buildings in Washington D.C., trying to get a considerable advantage of this city and its connection to the River and its closeness to the coast.

A state statute provides a remedy for victims of employment discrimination. The statute requires complainants to bring charges before the state's fair employment commission within 180 days of the alleged unlawful employment practices. The commission then has 120 days to convene a fact-finding conference to obtain evidence, ascertain the parties' positions, and explore settlement possibilities. An employee was discharged from his job purportedly because of a physical handicap unrelated to his ability to perform his job. The employee filed a timely complaint, alleging unlawful termination of employment, as required by the statute. However, through inadvertence, the commission scheduled the fact-finding conference five days after the 120-day statutory period expired. At the conference, the employer moved that the charge be dismissed for lack of a timely conference. The commission denied the motion. The employer petitioned the state supreme court. The court held for the employer, stating that the failure to comply with the 120-day requirement deprived the commission of jurisdiction to consider the employee's charge. On appeal to the United States Supreme Court, the employee argues that his right to due process will be violated if the commission's error is allowed to extinguish his cause of action.

These words from Chief Justice John Marshall's opinion in the 1803 case of Marbury v. Madison are inscribed on the U.S. Supreme Court building. How does this statement relate to the function of the judicial branch and its place within our three-branch system of government? Why do you think this idea was important enough to have it displayed at the Supreme Court? If we did not have an independent, impartial judicial branch, who might be responsible for saying what the law is, and why might that be problematic?
