Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of Our Laws A great many people take an interest in the law without being lawyers or litigants or specialists of any sort. They like to understand something of what is going on around them, and for their law they have to trust to snatches from the newspapers. Though, possibly, both writer and reader are well-educated persons, the exact point or points on which the report turns is almost certain to be missed, for neither has any training to catch it. Hence the frequent exclamation, I can't understand this case; however could such a decision have been arrived at? And, of course, the bewilderment is greater where there is any desire even to scratch beneath the surface. Yet between the formal study of the law and the perusal of the daily newspaper there is no satisfaction for the amateur reader, better, perhaps, known as the general reader. A professed lawyer, of course, would not dream of trusting an ordinary newspaper report (with a few exceptions) for practical purposes, even for his own guidance; for he requires at least a certain degree of accuracy, and may require the highest.

Download or read book Montesquieu The Spirit of the Laws written by Charles de Secondat baron de Montesquieu and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-09-21 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of the Laws is, without question, one of the central texts in the history of eighteenth-century thought, yet there has been no complete, scholarly English-language edition since that of Thomas Nugent, published in 1750. This lucid translation renders Montesquieu's problematic text newly accessible to a fresh generation of students, helping them to understand quite why Montesquieu was such an important figure in the early enlightenment and why The Spirit of the Laws was, for example, such an influence upon those who framed the American constitution. Fully annotated, this edition focuses attention upon Montesquieu's use of sources and his text as a whole, rather than upon those opening passages towards which critical energies have traditionally been devoted, and a select bibliography and chronology are provided for those coming to Montesquieu's work for the first time.

Download or read book Liquor Laws of the United States written by Gallus Thomann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Liquor Laws of the United States: Their Spirit and Effect The liquor trafic, in all its bearings upon the moral and social condition of man, has recently been made the subject of methodical enquiries in very many European countries, and a mass of extremely valuable material has already been and is still being gathered there for the purpose of establishing a seien tific basis for future legislation. Similar efforts are at present being made in the United States, and it is to be hoped that fairness, impartiality, and an unselfish regard for the welfare of the Whole country may guide them. This book is offered as an unpretending contribution to these efforts. It claims no merit save that of strictest truthfulness in the representation of the spirit and effect of the liquor laws of this country. The nature of its subject-matter required a separation of the laws enacted by Congress from those enacted by the legislatures of the States. The former laws are reviewed in the present volume; the latter will form the subject of another volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Theological Basis of Liberal Modernity in Montesquieu s Spirit of the Laws written by Thomas L. Pangle and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of the Laws—Montesquieu’s huge, complex, and enormously influential work—is considered one of the central texts of the Enlightenment, laying the foundation for the liberally democratic political regimes that were to embody its values. In his penetrating analysis, Thomas L. Pangle brilliantly argues that the inherently theological project of Enlightenment liberalism is made more clearly—and more consequentially— in Spirit than in any other work. In a probing and careful reading, Pangle shows how Montesquieu believed that rationalism, through the influence of liberal institutions and the spread of commercial culture, would secularize human affairs. At the same time, Pangle uncovers Montesquieu’s views about the origins of humanity’s religious impulse and his confidence that political and economic security would make people less likely to sacrifice worldly well-being for otherworldly hopes. With the interest in the theological aspects of political theory and practice showing no signs of diminishing, this book is a timely and insightful contribution to one of the key achievements of Enlightenment thought.

The suggestion of the particular form which the project of these lectureships has taken was made in my inaugural address in 1916 when statement was made as follows.

Download or read book On the Spirit of Rights written by Dan Edelstein and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the eighteenth century, politicians in America and France were invoking the natural rights of man to wrest sovereignty away from kings and lay down universal basic entitlements. Exactly how and when did “rights” come to justify such measures? In On the Spirit of Rights, Dan Edelstein answers this question by examining the complex genealogy of the rights that regimes enshrined in the American and French Revolutions. With a lively attention to detail, he surveys a sprawling series of debates among rulers, jurists, philosophers, political reformers, writers, and others who were all engaged in laying the groundwork for our contemporary systems of constitutional governance. Every seemingly new claim about rights turns out to be a variation on a theme, as late medieval notions were subtly repeated and refined to yield the talk of “rights” we recognize today. From the Wars of Religion to the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen to the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, On the Spirit of Rights is a sweeping tour through centuries of European intellectual history and an essential guide to our ways of thinking about human rights today.
Download or read book The Spirit of Japanese Law written by John Owen Haley and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of Japanese Law focuses on the century following the Meiji Constitution, Japan's initial reception of continental European law. As John Owen Haley traces the features of contemporary Japanese law and its principal actors, distinctive patterns emerge. Of these none is more ubiquitous than what he refers to as the law's "communitarian orientation." While most westerners may view judges as Japanese law's least significant actors, Haley argues that they have the last word because their interpretations of constitution and codes define the authority and powers they and others hold. Based on a "sense of society," the judiciary confirms bonds of village, family, and firm, and "abuse of rights" and "good faith" similarly affirms community. The Spirit of Japanese Law concludes with constitutional cases that help explain the endurance of community in contemporary Japan.
