alias Khaled Hassan, the sole author of the published book sketch "The New Societies: Concepts and Apperceptions of an
Eastern Caribbean model of Commonality" (published with iUniverse); where not expressly stated as an excerpt or a
promotion, the presented [conventional] intellectual/intelligence Work Papers, political commentary Work Papers, and
related notes) are essentially completed [whole] drafts of related but independent material. All rights to the presented
material are held solely by Shawn Dexter John; the works are reserved for use by Shawn Dexter John solely. There is no

and there is no plagiarized content in the following material; there is no lack of [necessary] citation; none of the works is of
a deceitful nature. The contents of the following material of presentation have not been and are not products of any non-
Agency assigned work from any university, employer, or any other entity, or any person; it should also be noted that The
New Societies was not the result of any such assignment(s) or task(s). No person or entity has directed or forced the
author into the presentation of the following material. Shawn Dexter John isn't contractually employed (and has never been
contractually employed) by any foreign government or system of related Caribbean governance. Also, he is not a licensed
attorney (yet), law professor (yet), instructor, college professor (yet), or a current law student. He is not and was never
compensated for the development of the following works. The author has taken and completed United States accredited
doctoral courses, which are inclusive of American Bar Association (ABA) accredited law courses. The level and the quality
of the following works are intended for a graduate-level (doctoral and post-doctoral) university audience and the related
professional community. The following are not meant to perpetuate any racial or ethnic agenda and are not of any
professional or other recruitment ideology; the following are primarily scholarly and Central Intelligence Agency related. The
primary law school of his legal education was St. Thomas University School of Law – Miami Gardens. The author is an
official, undisputed, and authentic citizen of the United States of America (USA). (Importantly, the author's partial education
at Southern University and A&M College, as a doctoral student in Public Policy [at the Nelson Mandela School of Public
Policy and Urban Affairs], served well in writing significant parts of the overall material. Both degrees awarded to the author
were received from Howard University, however.) (The author did complete a course-required research [unpaid] internship
with the Embassy of the Commonwealth of Dominica over a short period of time. The author's brief employment with USA
for UNHCR, as a paid fundraiser, never required or initiated the development of any presented material). The majority of the
following works have been written on personal computers (on private laptops of Shawn Dexter John by Shawn Dexter John
[solely] and, at times, on library desktops and/or on a personal and exclusionarily owned smartphone by Shawn Dexter
John [solely]). The author is sincere and honest in his postulation. *Shawn Dexter John isn't in representation of any other
individual as a cover – there is no other operative recognized as Khaled Hassan in the United States.*

*The following attachment, located two paragraphs down, provides the acutely edited and refined
version of the published book The New Societies: Concepts and Apperceptions of an Eastern
Caribbean model of Commonality.

I, Shawn Dexter John, am the only individual editing the manuscript (aside being the sole author).

I will provide any update to the [edited and completed] manuscript, if any: [EDITED AND COMPLETED]
The New Societies – Concepts and Apperceptions of an Eastern Caribbean model of Commonality.

The version published as a book was simply a covert sketch, published in that manner to provide a
template to government affiliates working across distance preceding its expected completion at a then
later date (corresponding with my editing work today) – quite a humble act. Tampering might have
devalued the book material but the model and intent were communicated well preceding the
publication of the [substantially-completed] edited version (here) – the completed version consists of
slightly over 200 pages. (The edited version is presented as a bonafide law article.)

———————

Excessive bail is prohibited by the eighth amendment – this serves as an immensely practical
protection. Bail isn’t guaranteed as a right within the Constitution, however. Generally, authorities
grant this privilege to accused individuals excluding those charged with capital offenses, serious
felonies (especially when the defendant is concluded as a threat to others), or contempt in court.
Bail amounts are to adhere to reasonability whenever permitted. Correlating decisions shouldn’t fall
short of exhibiting sound logic convincingly – common standards are attracted. Courts are
prohibited from issuing excessive fines additionally. The reflected clause is applied to criminal fines
and to forfeitures and, naturally, proportionality is required. Imposed punitive damages, granted in
civil cases, don’t qualify as fines demanded by courts – in other words, the Excessive Fines Clause
isn’t applicable here. Fines are awarded to governments, not private parties. (Essentially, any
[peculiar] designated test would not apply to unrelated judgements.)

Punishment directed or sanctioned by government cannot inflict onto any individual cruel or
untypically harsh conditions/treatment. This applies to incarceration, is cited consistently within the
abolishment of the death penalty argument. This provision compliments the other two provisions of
the amendment – it co-provides that profound reasonability is required in effecting justice.

Note:
 1. At the federal level, the government has not established bail schedule(s).
