When we examine the various legal sources and opinions on war powers we find no consensus on any of the most important issues in the field. The profusion of legal arguments pro and contra each of the points in the debate makes the subject academically joyful and pleasant to investigate. From a constitutional perspective of the matter, however, such a state of affairs is not satisfactory. And this is precisely what makes the problem challenging and worth dealing with. "The war powers are the strongest of all governmental powers and for that reason, the strongest challenge for constitutionalism...

The Human Rights Implications of the 'Best Loser System' in Mauritius
ISBN: 9783838348315 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 'Best Loser System'(BLS) is part of the Mauritian electoral system where a number of parliamentarians are selected on certain criteria which include their community. Since 'community' has a close link with ethnic, racial or religious belonging in Mauritius, the BLS has remained a subject of controversy since the independence of Mauritius in 1968. Originally entrenched in the Constitution to ensure a fair and adequate representation of each community, the BLS is now strongly seen as a system of misrepresentation rather than one to protect minorities. The present work makes an introduction...

Holy Writ: Interpretation in Law and Religion
ISBN: 9780754678960 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has often been remarked that law and religion have much in common. One of the most conspicuous elements is that both law and religion frequently refer to a text that has authority over the members of a community. In the case of religion this text is deemed to be 'holy', in the case of law, some, such as the American constitution, are widely held as 'sacred'. In both examples, priests and judges exert a duty to tell the community what the founding document has to say about contemporary problems. This therefore involves an element of interpretation of the relevant authoritative texts and...

The Taxing Power: A Reference Guide to the United States Constitution
ISBN: 9780313312298 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The U.S. Constitution contains several limitations on the national taxing power.

By looking at the historical origins of these limitations, Jensen argues that they are essential parts of the Constitution and should be taken seriously, as the founders intended. This full-scale treatment of the... The U.S. Constitution contains several limitations on the national taxing power. These limitations are almost always ignored due to the assumption ... |
