Derived termsRelated termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Controversy is a state of prolonged public dispute or debate, usually concerning a matter of opinion. The word was coined from the Latin controversia, as a composite of controversus – "turned in an opposite direction," from contra – "against" – and vertere – to turn, or versus (see verse), hence, "to turn against." Perennial areas of controversy include history, religion, philosophy and politics. Other minor areas of controversy may include economics, science, finances, and race. Controversy in matters of theology has traditionally been particularly heated, giving rise to the phrase odium theologicum. Controversial issues are held as potentially divisive in a given society, because they can lead to tension and ill will. Main article: Controversy (law)In the theory of law, a controversy differs from a legal case; while legal cases include all suits, criminal as well as civil, a controversy is a purely civil proceeding. For example, the Case or Controversy Clause of Article Three of the United States Constitution (Section 2, Clause 1) states that "the judicial Power shall extend ... to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party". This clause has been deemed to impose a requirement that United States federal courts are not permitted to hear cases that do not pose an actual controversy—that is, an actual dispute between adverse parties which is capable of being resolved by the court. In addition to setting out the scope of the jurisdiction of the federal judiciary, it also prohibits courts from issuing advisory opinions, or from hearing cases that are either unripe, meaning that the controversy has not arisen yet, or moot, meaning that the controversy has already been resolved.

Q. in comparison to the "hawks versus doves" controversy that took place during the presidency of Johnson? or was it less talked about? and also, was kennedy as secretive about affairs in vietnam as johnson was? Asked by Drayyy - Thu May 27 20:45:54 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes there was controversy. American troops were already in Vietnam following the French being kicked out in 1954 - Eisenhower put them in there. When Kennedy became president in 1961 there was a debate within the Kennedy circle about the status of American troops being there. Kennedy was going to come back from Dallas and begin thinning the ranks of those who were not in an advisory role. Answered by tuffy - Thu May 27 20:57:50 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "controversy"
