Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who has the final say on the meaning of the Constitution? From high school to law school, students learn that the framers designed the Supreme Court to be the ultimate arbiter of constitutional issues, a function Chief Justice John Marshall recognized in deciding Marbury v. Madison in 1803. This provocative work challenges American dogma about the Supreme Court's role, showing instead that the founding generation understood judicial power not as a counterweight against popular government, but as a consequence, and indeed a support, of popular sovereignty. Contending that court power must be restrained so that policy decisions are left to the people's elected representatives, this study offers several remedies--including term limits and popular selection of the Supreme Court--to return the American people to their proper place in the constitutional order.

Book excerpt: We live in the greatest nation on Planet Earth, but it is becoming more and more apparent that in order to keep it great, people must do something to stop the federal courts that are daily setting themselves above the law and dictating how we should live and what we should think. This book is designed to bring you up to speed on the ongoing struggle against an over-reaching judicial branch, without overwhelming you with legal double-speak. It is written in plain American, and presented in bite-sized pieces. After studying the principles in this book, you will better understand the role of government and how to react when the next judge throws out the will of the people in favor of the latest social engineering project. To bring our nation back from the elites in black robes that wish to redefine everything we are as Americans, it is going to take work. Edmund Burke, the famous British politician who supported our War of Independence while serving in the British Parliament, stated a simple truth that still applies to us today: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." We have done nothing for too long, and we are paying the price today. But it is not too late. The fight has only just begun. But by picking up this book you are taking the first step, and together we can turn our nation around. This book features chapters from some of our nation's most prominent leaders in the battle for continued liberty and freedom in our nation, such as: A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS-US Attorney General Ed Meese THOU SHALT HAVE NO GOD BEFORE US-Benjamin D.

Download or read book The Court and Court Society in Ancient Monarchies written by Antony Spawforth and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monarchy was widespread as a political system in the ancient world. This volume offers the first substantial discussion of ancient monarchies from the viewpoint of the ruler's court. The monarchies treated are Achaemenid and Sassanian Persia, the empire of Alexander, Rome under both the early and later Caesars, the Han rulers of China and Egypt's Eighteenth Dynasty. A comparative approach is adopted to major aspects of ancient courts, including their organisation and physical setting, their role as a vehicle for display, and their place in monarchial structures of power and control. This approach is broadly inspired by work on courts in later periods of history, especially early-modern France. The case studies confirm that ancient monarchies created the conditions for the emergence of a court and court society. The culturally-specific conditions in which these monarchies functioned meant variety in the character of the ruler's court from one society to another.
Download or read book Disorder in the Court written by Judge Lawrence Waddington and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In drafting the Constitution, the authors who had lived in England under the tyranny of monarchs divided the new United States government into legislative, executive and judicial branches to dilute government abuse of power. The legislative branch obviously enjoyed priority by its ability to enact laws for the executive to administer. The judicial branch merely resolved "cases and controversies." This book summarizes these cases and explains the increasing emergence of the federal judicial branch exemplified predominately by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal and its infliction of damage to cultural, religious and social traditions of the country. Federal courts began intervening in state court decisions involving highly contentious issues shortly after the end of WW II. Although the Supreme Court led the way, the Ninth Circuit has written decisions on subjects never judicially envisioned by the Constitution, has overturned innumerable state court decisions, and invalidated state and federal legislation. The court has intruded on immigration law, criminal law, the death penalty, and written innumerable cases restricting religion, enforcing racial preferences, managing jails and prisons, endorsing same sex marriage, confirming abortion, and eviscerating a variety of other cultural and social traditions affecting the public.

Download or read book How Judges Think written by Richard A. Posner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinguished and experienced appellate court judge, Richard A. Posner offers in this new book a unique and, to orthodox legal thinkers, a startling perspective on how judges and justices decide cases. When conventional legal materials enable judges to ascertain the true facts of a case and apply clear pre-existing legal rules to them, Posner argues, they do so straightforwardly; that is the domain of legalist reasoning. However, in non-routine cases, the conventional materials run out and judges are on their own, navigating uncharted seas with equipment consisting of experience, emotions, and often unconscious beliefs. In doing so, they take on a legislative role, though one that is confined by internal and external constraints, such as professional ethics, opinions of respected colleagues, and limitations imposed by other branches of government on freewheeling judicial discretion. Occasional legislators, judges are motivated by political considerations in a broad and sometimes a narrow sense of that term. In that open area, most American judges are legal pragmatists. Legal pragmatism is forward-looking and policy-based. It focuses on the consequences of a decision in both the short and the long term, rather than on its antecedent logic. Legal pragmatism so understood is really just a form of ordinary practical reasoning, rather than some special kind of legal reasoning. Supreme Court justices are uniquely free from the constraints on ordinary judges and uniquely tempted to engage in legislative forms of adjudication. More than any other court, the Supreme Court is best understood as a political court.

Book excerpt: Esta monografía ofrece una visión de los círculos cortesanos europeos desde la perspectiva de los cambios estructurales y culturales que tuvieron lugar tanto en las cortes de los monarcas reinantes como en los círculos privados desde la Edad Media hasta finales del siglo XVIII. Independientemente del patrón o patrona, la corte fue sin duda una interesante estructura administrativa, económica y cultural, que ejerció una fuerte influencia en la organización de la sociedad europea en la era preindustrial. La estructura de los tribunales gobernantes europeos fluctuó constantemente: cambiaron su organización, sus miembros y el papel que desempeñaban.La corte no sólo era un elemento importante de la administración del Estado y el administrador de oficinas, bienes y medios, sino también el creador de nuevos valores culturales y el entorno donde se educaba a la juventud, donde era posible el ascenso social y donde florecían las carreras clericales y políticas. En gran medida, su tamaño, miembros y etiqueta dependían de las capacidades financieras, así como de las estructuras políticas de los países en los que operaban. Con el tiempo y el desarrollo de nuevas estructuras en las cortes reales o aristocráticas, que eran transmisoras de los valores de las élites, así como de la nueva estética y la moda, la corte se convertiría no sólo en un elemento de autoridad, sino también de prestigio, así como en la expresión de la riqueza perteneciente a un grupo social específico caracterizado por un sistema coherente de signos, gestos y códigos culturales, que constituían una comunidad de modelos educativos y ceremonias.

This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will be the first to deeply analyze the Swedish court and monarchy through a longue duree perspective to show the crucial role of the court in maintaining a relationship between the monarchy and nobility throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Sweden offered a different type of monarchy in comparison to the more often studied French and British monarchies. Sweden's court system successfully managed several coups and upheavals and maintained strong royal power throughout many transitions. Studying the Swedish model offers insights into how courts functioned in European principalities in general by providing a resilient and flexible framework for royal authority in tandem with the nobility. Based on extensive research conducted in the Swedish National Archives, the Palace Archives, and the Royal Library, the book presents some never-before published case studies and materials that drive the impact of court studies on many different areas of research, including gender studies, political science, and art history.

This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using socio-anthropological theory and archaeological evidence, Knight argues that while the laws in the Hebrew Bible tend to reflect the interests of those in power, the majority of ancient Israelites--located in villages--developed their own unwritten customary laws to regulate behavior and resolve legal conflicts in their own communities. This book includes numerous examples from village, city, and cult. --from publisher description

Two additional concise chapters provide a focused analysis of the construction of specific dynasties (the Golden Horde and the Habsburgs) and narratives of kingship found in fiction throughout Eurasia. The contributors and editors, authorities in their fields, systematically bring together specialised literature on numerous Eurasian kingdoms and empires. This book is a careful and thought-provoking experiment in the global, comparative and connected history of rulers and elites.
