ISBN: 9780742518803 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the wake of the 2000 Election, the relationship between the Supreme Court and the American states has become more important.

In this important volume, four prominent scholars--two historians and two law...

Privacy Rights: Cases Lost and Causes Won Before the Supreme Court is a unique and timely study of the judicial process as it confronts four privacy issues: birth control, gay rights, abortion, and the right to die.

Against That 'Powerful Engine of Despotism': The Fourth Amendment and General Warrants at the Founding and Today
ISBN: 9780761836551 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work argues that the original intent of the Fourth Amendment was subverted due to a significant shift in the concept of justice among many political and legal thinkers in the twentieth century. The original aim of the Fourth Amendment was to differentiate between private property searches, generally requiring warrants, and searches in public areas, which allow searches without a warrant if there is just cause. The focus is on recent factors that led the United States government to weaken protections against property searches, specifically commercial property, while expanding protections...

Rediscovering a Lost Freedom: The First Amendment Right to Censor Unwanted Speech
ISBN: 9780765803221 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since ratification of the First Amendment in the late eighteenth century, there has been a sea change in American life. When the amendment was ratified, individuals were almost completely free of unwanted speech; but today they are besieged by it. Indeed, the First Amendment has, for all practical purposes, been commandeered by the media to justify intrusions of offensive speech into private life. In its application, the First Amendment has become one-sided. Even though America is virtually drowning in speech, the First Amendment only applies to the speaker's delivery of speech. Left...

Misrecognized Materialists: Social Movements in Canadian Constitutional Politics
ISBN: 9780774811682 / Angielski / Twarda / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Canada's history of intense constitutional debate is often depicted as a source of national embarrassment--a wasteful diversion from more sensible endeavors. Misrecognized Materialists tells a different story. Focusing on the participation of Canadian social movements, it shows how constitutional politics became an arena for important concerns often excluded from traditional electoral and parliamentary politics. Beginning with the Rowell-Sirois hearings of the Great Depression and concluding with the national wars of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Matt James guides readers...
