Using Ventress v. Japan Airlines (Chapter 2)

1. What was the purpose of article VIII(1) of the FCN treaty? In what way would this give them greater control of their U.S. operations?

2. What was the basis of the court's ruling? Does the California whistle-blower protection statute "interfere with the employer's ability to hire their fellow citizens"?

3. In citing MacNamara v. Korean Airlines, the court refers to the difference between "citizenship" and "national origin." What is the difference, and why was that important here?

Please explain elaborately.
