Download or read book The Strategic Constitution written by Robert D. Cooter and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making, amending, and interpreting constitutions is a political game that can yield widespread suffering or secure a nation's liberty and prosperity. Given these high stakes, Robert Cooter argues that constitutional theory should trouble itself less with literary analysis and arguments over founders' intentions and focus much more on the real-world consequences of various constitutional provisions and choices. Pooling the best available theories from economics and political science, particularly those developed from game theory, Cooter's economic analysis of constitutions fundamentally recasts a field of growing interest and dramatic international importance. By uncovering the constitutional incentives that influence citizens, politicians, administrators, and judges, Cooter exposes fault lines in alternative forms of democracy: unitary versus federal states, deep administration versus many elections, parliamentary versus presidential systems, unicameral versus bicameral legislatures, common versus civil law, and liberty versus equality rights. Cooter applies an efficiency test to these alternatives, asking how far they satisfy the preferences of citizens for laws and public goods. To answer Cooter contrasts two types of democracy, which he defines as competitive government. The center of the political spectrum defeats the extremes in "median democracy," whereas representatives of all the citizens bargain over laws and public goods in "bargain democracy." Bargaining can realize all the gains from political trades, or bargaining can collapse into an unstable contest of redistribution. States plagued by instability and contests over redistribution should move towards median democracy by increasing transaction costs and reducing the power of the extremes. Specifically, promoting median versus bargain democracy involves promoting winner-take-all elections versus proportional representation, two parties versus multiple parties, referenda versus representative democracy, and special governments versus comprehensive governments. This innovative theory will have ramifications felt across national and disciplinary borders, and will be debated by a large audience, including the growing pool of economists interested in how law and politics shape economic policy, political scientists using game theory or specializing in constitutional law, and academic lawyers. The approach will also garner attention from students of political science, law, and economics, as well as policy makers working in and with new democracies where constitutions are being written and refined.

Book excerpt: Willtown was founded in the late 17th century on the banks of the South Edisto River, but the movement of the Willtown Church in the 1760s to another location marked the demise of the town. Hugh C. Lane Jr. encouraged The Charleston Museum in its research in and around the Willtown area, asking the question, "Why did Willtown fail?" "Our serendipitous discovery of James Stobo's rice plantation a mile from Willtown revealed a site remarkable in its pristine preservation, the clarity of its stratigraphic record, the number and types of artifacts recovered, and in the complexity of its architectural detail."--Introduction, p. 1.

Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas.

Download or read book The Donnaha Site written by J. Ned Woodall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Donnaha Site: 1973, 1975 Excavations The Indians that created the Donnaha Site were living near the end of a year time period which began with the first entry of people into the Carolinas, and ended with the European destruction of the native cultures. Although remnants of the Piedmont's Indian people survived here and there, their traditional cultures were forever shattered during the 18th century. Except for the scanty travelers' accounts, and some evidence provided by linguistic traits and Indian oral history (mooney all information regarding those traditional cultures has been gathered by archeology. These archeological data are subject to varying interpretation, and some may disagree with details of the following account although not, I think, with the general historical framework it provides. North Carolina's first known inhabitants probably arrived about b.c. They were few in number and shifted their camps often, but occasionally they left behind a distinctive stone spear point, the Clovis point. Clovis points occur across most of the United States and southern Canada, and down into Mesoamerica. In several places west of the Mississippi they are present in skeletons of now-extinct animals, especially elephant, but in the eastern u.s., including North Carolina, the points usually are found on the ground surface. In the West, Clovis points are found to date between and b.c. And because of the close similarity in form those of North Carolina likely date about this same time. We know very little about the Clovis cultures in North Carolina; they may also have hunted elephant or other Ice-age creatures, but we have no evidence. By 8000 b.c. The last major glacier to advance on North America was in rapid retreat, and the plants and animals of North Carolina were assuming their present - day form and distribution. Descendants of the Clovis people changed their culture as well, producing a shorter, wider spear point called Hardaway (coe 1964z64). The Hardaway point initiates a long stage of cultural development in the North Carolina Piedmont, the Archaic stage, which lasted until about 500 b.c., later in some areas.' Most archeologists view the North Carolina Archaic as an 8000 year period of cultural stability, punctuated only by changes in spear point shapes, the addition or deletion of other tool forms, and subtle alterations of site location and site size. The diet was reliant on wild foods, although this is indicated more by site location than actual food remains. It now seems that some domesticated plants may have been grown during the final 2000 years (yarnell but these did not significantly alter the basic cultural pattern. There is evidence that the Archaic population of the North Carolina Piedmont was growing, however (ward 1983z66 - 69; Oliver 1981z26 and that trend may have considerable importance for understanding the end of the Archaic stage.
