This book was released on 2005 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coxe's main argument is that the "Constitution contains express texts providing for judicial competency to decide questioned legislation to be constitutional or unconstitutional and to hold it valid or void accordingly" (4). There are four subordinate arguments: First, that the framers of the constitution specifically granted the courts the power to hold a law unconstitutional by dint of the Supremacy Clause and by Article III, Section 2 defining judicial power. Second, that documents written before the constitution were influential in framing the text and establishing the idea of judicial review. The third looks at the era before and during the confederation with an eye toward the court's power to rule on constitutionality. The fourth argument finds analogies and precedents in foreign law, including Roman and Canon law.
Download or read book The Supreme Court and Unconstitutional Legislation Classic Reprint written by Blaine Free Moore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Supreme Court and Unconstitutional Legislation In the text, though state cases have been discussed, an analysis has been made only of the federal statutes held void by the Supreme Court, but in the appendices an attempt has been made to list all cases in which state enactments were declared unconstitutional, by the same court, because of con ict with the federal con stitution. It has been found very difficult to compile even an approximately correct list. Not only are the cases in question scattered among a large number of others, but additional difficulties were encountered. In some instances the information given in the official re ports is scarcely sufficient to determine with exactness whether a statute has been annulled, or whether only an interpretation of it has been given. In other cases a statute has not been held void in words, but the judgment is in opposition to the statute and the result is to de stroy the force of the act. In a considerable number of cases the act directly complained of and checked was that of an administrative body, but as in the majority of instances the state courts had previously held that such action was authorized by law, the conclusion is that a statute was in whole or in part held void. Also in vari ous of the cases listed statutes were held to be void only as they applied to particular facts or a particular set of facts. In all instances, however, the activities of a state were checked, (which is really the important fact), be cause of con ict with the federal constitution, though in some few cases possibly a statute was not technically annulled. The list given may serve as a basis, and later investigations may correct any errors of omission or commission. The list has, however, been carefully checked, and, within the limits set forth above, an attempt has been made to have it as accurate as possible.

Download or read book Due Process of Law written by John V. Orth and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindful of the English background and of constitutional developments in the several states, Orth in a succinct and readable narrative traces the history of due process, from its origins in medieval England to its applications in the latest cases. Departing from the usual approach to American constitutional law, Orth places the history of due process in the larger context of the common law. To a degree not always appreciated today, constitutional law advances in the same case-by-case manner as other legal rules. In that light, Orth concentrates on the general maxims or paradigms that guided the judges in their decisions of specific cases. Uncovering the links between one case and another, Orth describes how a commitment to fair procedures made way for an emphasis on the protection of property rights, which in turn led to a heightened sensitivity to individual rights in general.
Download or read book American Judicial Power written by Michael Buenger and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Judicial Power: The State Court Perspective is a welcome addition to the breadth of studies on the American legal system and provides an accessible and highly illuminating overview of the state courts and their functions. The study of America’s courts is overwhelmingly skewed toward the federal government, and therefore often overlooks state courts and their importance. Michael Buenger and Paul De Muniz fill this gap in the study of American constitutionalism, as they examine the wide and distinctive powers these courts exercise, and their role in administering the bulk of the nation’s justice system. This groundbreaking work covers many critical topics pertaining to the state courts, including: a comparison of the role of state and federal courts, the history of America’s state courts, the judicial selection processes utilized in the states, the unique roles assigned to state courts and the varying structure of those courts, the relationship between state judicial power and state legislative power, and the opportunities and challenges that are and will be facing the state courts. With an insightful foreword from Sanford Levinson, this revolutionary book will be of interest to students, educators, and researchers in the fields of law, political science, and government. Constitutional law experts will also benefit from an analysis of the state courts and their powers.
Download or read book Law and Judicial Duty written by Philip Hamburger and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Hamburger’s Law and Judicial Duty traces the early history of what is today called “judicial review.” Working from previously unexplored evidence, Hamburger questions the very concept of judicial review. Although decisions holding statutes unconstitutional are these days considered instances of a distinct judicial power of review, Hamburger shows that they were once understood merely as instances of a broader judicial duty. The book’s focus on judicial duty overturns the familiar debate about judicial power. The book is therefore essential reading for anyone concerned about the proper role of the judiciary. Hamburger lays the foundation for his argument by explaining the common law ideals of law and judicial duty. He shows that the law of the land was understood to rest on the authority of the lawmaker and that what could not be discerned within the law of the land was not considered legally binding. He then shows that judges had a duty to decide in accord with the law of the land. These two ideals—law and judicial duty—together established and limited what judges could do. By reviving an understanding of these common law ideals, Law and Judicial Duty calls into question the modern assumption that judicial review is a power within the judges’ control. Indeed, the book shows that what is currently considered a distinct power of review was once understood as a matter of duty—the duty of judges to decide in accord with the law of the land. The book thereby challenges the very notion of judicial review. It shows that judges had authority to hold government acts unconstitutional, but that they enjoyed this power only to the extent it was required by their duty.In laying out the common law ideals, and in explaining judicial review as an aspect of judicial duty, Law and Judicial Duty reveals a very different paradigm of law and of judging than prevails today. The book, moreover, sheds new light on a host of misunderstood problems, including intent, manifest contradiction, the status of foreign and international law, the cases and controversies requirement, and the authority of judicial precedent.
