Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Statute Law Making in the United States Since law is becoming so important a factor in shaping the economic and social conditions under which we live, it is essential that the making of statutes should receive greater attention. In, no other great country of the world is the passage of new statutes and the change of old ones so easy as in the United States. The amount of legislation increases year by year, the laws touch us more and more intimately in our daily lives. Under such conditions it seems that it would be only natural that great care would be taken in the framing of statutes. Those who drafted measures we might believe would be sure to see to it that rights not intended to be affected were not touched, that what the bill was intended to accomplish was done in the easiest way and that the law should not offend constitutional provisions. But the fact is quite the contrary. Our love of freedom of initiative has extended to legislation. Bills are introduced in such numbers that it is impossible for them to receive adequate consideration. They are often drafted by men who have not made any attempt to see the proposed measures in the perspective of the general law of the state. As a consequence we have a mass of ill-considered statutes which, by their indefiniteness and failure to observe constitutional limitations, throw upon the courts a burden of interpretation which forces them frequently to resort to judicial legislation and to declare the statutes void.

Download or read book The Law and the Woman Classic Reprint written by Rose Falls Bres and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law and the Woman By study and comparison of the laws of the several States in their relation to women may be evolved such legislative measures as will tend to establish a fair legal status for women, which would mean a government of the people, for the people and by the people, along with the concession that women are people. The power is vested in the legislatures of the several States to make, ordain and establish all manner of laws, statutes and ordinances not repugnant to the Constitution and deemed for the best good and interest of the Common wealth. It is by and through these law making bodies women must establish their protective and defensive measures and these measures should be so fair, sane and equitable as to command universal respect and confidence. Careful and intelligent progress by women in the shaping of such new laws as are intended to equalize their status with the male citizen will best demonstrate their right to citizenship with its resultant obligations and duties, for in the multiplicity of laws now cluttering our statute books a few more, unless direct, forceful and valid, will but add to the confusion and defeat their purpose. It may be well to recall the fact that in 1913 more than two thousand bills were introduced in the Wisconsin legislature, of which eight hundred and twenty three were passed. The law making bodies of other States stagger, session after session, under equally heavy burdens. Wherefore it would seem that a Bureau of Legislation, with women fairly represented, to which all bills would have to be submitted for approval before introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Standards of American Legislation: An Estimate of Restrictive and Constructive Factors This book gives in somewhat expanded form the sub stance oi a series of lectures delivered at Johns Hopkins University in March, 1915. The origin of the book explains its character: it is an essay of constructive criticism, and not a systematic treatise. Its purpose is to suggest the possibility of supplementing the established doctrine of constitutional law which enforces legislative norms through ex post facto review and negation by a system of positive principles that should guide and con trol the making of statutes, and give a more definite meaning and content to the concept of due process of law. It is hoped that the book may be found to be a slight contribution to the rapidly growing movement for the improvement of our statute law.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Law-Making: A Study of the Origin, History, and Present Tendencies, of Law-Making by Statute In order to understand, therefore, what a statute is, and why it has grown important to consider statute-making, it is necessary to have some knowledge of the meaning of the word law, and of the origin both of representative govern ment and of legislatures, before we come to statutes, as we understand them; for parliaments existed centuries before they made statutes as we now use this word. Statutes with us are recent; legislatures making statutes are recent every where; legislatures themselves are fairly recent; that is, they date only from the end of the Dark Ages, at least in Anglo Saxon countries. Representative government itself is sup posed, by most scholars, to be the one invention that is peculiar to the anglo-saxon people.

Download or read book Law Dictionary Adapted to the Constitution and Laws Vol 1 written by John Bouvier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 1200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Law Dictionary, Adapted to the Constitution and Laws, Vol. 1: United States of America, and of the Several States of the American Union; With References to the Civil and Other Systems of Foreign Law IT has been the purpose of the Editor in preparing this his Third Revision to treat much more fully all encyclopaedic titles, except those in which there has been no development in recent years, while adding many dictionary and other minor titles not found in the last Revision. These objects and the great changes since 1898, the date of the last Revision, in the questions which have occupied the courts, have required the extension of the work to three volumes. The titles of both State and Federal cases have for the first time been inserted, as well as the volumes of the different series of reports other than those of the official series. Titles of a statutory and changing nature have been treated less fully, so as to avoid purely ephemeral matter. Judge Baldwin (modern Political Institutions 241) quotes Jeremiah Mason as saying that the development of an American Jurisprudence can only be looked for from the courts of the National Government. The Editor has been guided by that thought and sees in it a hope of increasing uniformity of law, towards which the profession, in its work on uniform legislation, is making real progress. He has therefore constantly cited the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States and very frequently those of the lower Federal Courts. Of course, on many of the questions now being passed upon by the State Courts, the decisions of the Supreme Court are of binding authority.

Download or read book The Statutes of the State of Missouri Vol 1 written by David Wagner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Statutes of the State of Missouri, Vol. 1: To Which Are Prefixed the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Missouri; With Notes, References and an Index; Containing the Acts of 1870 The arrangement has been entirely altered, and the alphabetical order of subjects, as used in prior editions, restored. This arrange ment is deemed the most convenient in practice. It is the mode adopted in our best Abridgments, and prevails in the approved works on Nisi Fri/us, and is unquestionably the best for facilitating references, when applied to statutory law. The source whence matter whether or the Session Acts, is indicated at the beginning of each section, so that at a glance it will be seen where the original may be found. I had no authority to alter the text in any manner, but verbal inaccuracies have occasionally been corrected. Notes to the decisions of the Supreme Court have been appended, but it was not attempted to collate or append all the decisions - such an undertaking would be impracticable. In making the selections, I have endeavored to cite such cases as are actual adjudications on the statute, or plainly illustrate some principle of law directly connected therewith. With all the imperfections necessarily attending a compilation, the work is submitted to the public as representing the actual statutory law of the State.

Download or read book Introduction to American Law Classic Reprint written by Timothy Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to American Law But I have entitled this book, an Introduction to American Law, and I may be called upon to vindicate the propriety of this title. I confess then, that in some minor respects, it may not be equally adapted to all parts of the Union; but my excuse is, that without being ten times as large as it is, 'it could not have been made so. If I had possessed the knowledge, I could not, within any reasonable compass, have referred to the local law of twenty-six different states; and yet local references were occasionally necessary, in order to exhibit an entire system. I was compelled, therefore, in such cases, to make choice of some particular state; and I naturally selected that state in which the lectures were read. But these local references, in an out line so general as this, are not so frequent as to detract materially from the general adaptation of the book, to students in other states; and in case of diversity, the necessary corrections can be easily made. At all events, the diversity is less between the different states, than between any one state and England; and therefore something is cer tainly gained even on the score of general adaptation. And here let me anticipate an objection of another sort. It may be said, that in attempting to teach what the law is, I have dwelt too much upon what I think it should be; or, in other words, that in a work professedly didactic, I have speculated too much upon projects of reform. To this objection I have two answers. In the first place, I have never undertaken to show what the law ought to be, without first stating what it is. While therefore the primary end of instruo tion is obtained, the mind of the student is at the same time excited to compare, examine and discuss the principles in question; and thus impress them the more deeply upon his memory. And in the second place, if the suggestions I have ventured to make be sound, they can not be made too early, because bad laws are the very worst of bad things; and if these suggestions be not sound, they can do no harm, because the antidote accompanies the bane; nay the provision com plained of will inspire increased confidence in the mind of the student from having been unsuccessfully assailed. But I cannot help believing that many of the proposed alterations would be decided improvements. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Federal Rules and Regulations 1918 Classic Reprint written by John Augustus Lapp and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 1158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federal Rules and Regulations, 1918 This compilation has been prepared to meet a new and extremely important need of lawyers and business men. The new federal laws and the nationalization of important functions of government have created a new condition to which lawyers and busi ness must conform. Today, the federal laws and the federal rules and regulations established under federal laws are of supreme importance, and that importance will increase through the nationalization of industry and through the war powers of the nation. In contrast with state laws, lawyers will find that in federal statutes the law itself is only a part of the legal machinery. State laws go into specific details: federal laws generally set forth the broad power and leave to administrative officers the power to make supplementary law through rules and regulations. A knowledge of both the law and the rules and regulations is therefore necessary in the guidance of business. More over, the federal departments in their enforcement of laws usually lay down interpretations which are of great value to the lawyer, even though they do not constitute supplementary law. Those which are of perma nent value are included in this book. Another important matter is the rules governing procedure before the federal courts and the various boards and commissions which have an established procedure.
