Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kind of document is the United States Constitution and how does that characterization affect its meaning? Those questions are seemingly foundational for the entire enterprise of constitutional theory, but they are strangely under-examined. Legal scholars Gary Lawson and Guy Seidman propose that the Constitution, for purposes of interpretation, is a kind of fiduciary, or agency, instrument. The founding generation often spoke of the Constitution as a fiduciary document—or as a “great power of attorney,” in the words of founding-era legal giant James Iredell. Viewed against the background of fiduciary legal and political theory, which would have been familiar to the founding generation from both its education and its experience, the Constitution is best read as granting limited powers to the national government, as an agent, to manage some portion of the affairs of “We the People” and its “posterity.” What follows from this particular conception of the Constitution—and is of greater importance—is the question of whether, and how much and in what ways, the discretion of governmental agents in exercising those constitutionally granted powers is also limited by background norms of fiduciary obligation. Those norms, the authors remind us, include duties of loyalty, care, impartiality, and personal exercise. In the context of the Constitution, this has implications for everything from non-delegation to equal protection to so-called substantive due process, as well as for the scope of any implied powers claimed by the national government. In mapping out what these imperatives might mean—such as limited discretionary power, limited implied powers, a need to engage in fair dealing with all parties, and an obligation to serve at all times the interests of the Constitution’s beneficiaries—Lawson and Seidman offer a clearer picture of the original design for a limited government.

Download or read book Powers of Attorney in Australia and New Zealand written by Berna Collier and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a review in the Australian Law Journal:"This book is a delightful surprise, for within its bare title the authors have covered the law concerning powers of attorney on both sides of the Tasman. The text is written in a clear and lucid fashion. It is well laid out, and provides in convenient form the texts of the relevant legislation applying throughout Australia and in New Zealand. It provides an accurate summary of the law as applying at the end of 1992. The index is unusually comprehensive, and the coverage of this area of law is thoroughly professional. It should prove to be a most useful text for practitioners in areas of company law, probate, and family law who will appreciate the specimen forms and clauses offered. It is so wide in its potential utility that (given its sensible price) it should be on every solicitor's bookshelf."
Download or read book Principles Concerning Continuing Powers of Attorney and Advance Directives for Incapacity written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current demographic trends tend towards an increase in the number of elderly people becoming incapable of protecting their own interests due to an impairment or insufficiency of their personal faculties. In addition, the circumstances in which adults become incapacitated are increasingly numerous. The recommendation covers both continuing powers of attorney and advance directives and focuses on aspects such as content, appointment and role of the attorney, form, entry into force, revocation and termination. In contrast to existing instruments in this field, this recommendation brings something new to the table, as it deals primarily with decisions made privately by the persons concerned. Self-determination, according to this instrument, implies that the granters, to a large extent, are free to make decisions regarding their future life.
