ISBN: 9780691143521 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Supreme Court appointments process is broken, and the timing couldn't be worse--for liberals or conservatives. The Court is just one more solid conservative justice away from an ideological sea change--a hard-right turn on an array of issues that affect every American, from abortion to environmental protection. But neither those who look at this prospect with pleasure nor those who view it with horror will be able to make informed judgments about the next nominee to the Court--unless the appointments process is fixed now.

ISBN: 9780674025400 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most of us regard the Constitution as the foundation of American democracy. How, then, are we to understand the restrictions that it imposes on legislatures and voters? Why, for example, does the Constitution allow unelected judges to exercise so much power?

Global Justice and the Bulwarks of Localism: Human Rights in Context
ISBN: 9789004145719 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The rise of international human rights during the last half of the twentieth century has transformed traditional notions of sovereignty. No longer is international law concerned almost exclusively with external relations among states and their representatives. Now, it imposes substantial restrictions on the domestic affairs of states and protects ordinary persons against mistreatment by their own government.

Religious Freedom and the Constitution
ISBN: 9780674045828 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Religion has become a charged token in a politics of division. In disputes about faith-based social services, public money for religious schools, the Pledge of Allegiance, Ten Commandments monuments, the theory of evolution, and many other topics, angry contestation threatens to displace America's historic commitment to religious freedom. Part of the problem, the authors argue, is that constitutional analysis of religious freedom has been hobbled by the idea of "a wall of separation" between church and state. That metaphor has been understood to demand that religion be treated far better... Religion has become a charged token in a politics of division. In disputes about faith-based social services, public money for religious schools, t... |
