Download or read book The Royal Prerogative and Constitutional Law written by Noel Cox and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the royal prerogative in terms of its theory, history and application today. The work explores the development of the royal prerogative through the evolution of imperial government, and more recent structural changes in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the Commonwealth. While examining specific prerogative powers, the development of justiciability of the prerogative, and the exercise of the prerogative, it lays bare the heart of constitutionality in the Westminster system of government. There is said to be a black hole of unaccountable authority at the heart of the constitution and it is this which this book examines. The focus is upon the constitutional development of the United Kingdom and the old dominions of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This approach is comparative and historical, using specific case studies of such events as the dissolution of Parliament and the appointment and dismissal of Prime Ministers. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Constitutional Law and Politics.
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Comparative Constitutional Change written by Xenophon Contiades and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative constitutional change has recently emerged as a distinct field in the study of constitutional law. It is the study of the way constitutions change through formal and informal mechanisms, including amendment, replacement, total and partial revision, adaptation, interpretation, disuse and revolution. The shift of focus from constitution-making to constitutional change makes sense, since amendment power is the means used to refurbish constitutions in established democracies, enhance their adaptation capacity and boost their efficacy. Adversely, constitutional change is also the basic apparatus used to orchestrate constitutional backslide as the erosion of liberal democracies and democratic regression is increasingly affected through legal channels of constitutional change. Routledge Handbook of Comparative Constitutional Change provides a comprehensive reference tool for all those working in the field and a thorough landscape of all theoretical and practical aspects of the topic. Coherence from this aspect does not suggest a common view, as the chapters address different topics, but reinforces the establishment of comparative constitutional change as a distinct field. The book brings together the most respected scholars working in the field, and presents a genuine contribution to comparative constitutional studies, comparative public law, political science and constitutional history.

Download or read book Indian Constitutional Law written by Dr. Suresh Kumar Agarwal and published by Academic Guru Publishing House. This book was released on 2023-07-26 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian Constitution is the country's primary and highest legislation. It outlines the basic structures of the Indian government, including its guiding principles, the laws that govern it, and the authorities it is vested with. The rights and responsibilities of its residents are spelled out in detail. It has the longest constitution in the world. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the committee's chairman and a primary architect of the Indian Constitution, penned the document's bulk. On December 9th, 1946, Constituent Assembly convened for the first time. On December 11, Dr. Rajendra Prasad was elected as the permanent chairman of "India's sovereign constituent assembly". The Indian Constitution gives constitutional primacy instead of parliamentary supremacy since it was formed by the Constituent Assembly and not the Parliament. In force since January 26, 1950, it was adopted by the "Indian Constituent Assembly" on November 26, 1949. After the "Government of India Act" of 1935 was replaced by the Indian Constitution, the Dominion of India became the Republic of India. The Indian Constitution's opening prologue is included. This introductory section of our Constitution serves as a compass for all Americans. Freedom, justice, and equality are promised to the people of India, who live under a secular, socialist, democratic government in this document. It was during the 1976 Emergency that the prologue was changed to incorporate the words "socialist" and "secular."
Download or read book Constitutional Laws Of India written by Dr. Mohammed Salim B. Khan and published by AG Publishing House. This book was released on with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A state's constitution is its rulebook. It lays out the foundational principles that regulate the state. It defines the relationship between the state's primary institutions, such as the executive, legislature, and judiciary, as well as their respective functions. It limits the exercise of power and outlines the rights and responsibilities of citizens. Constitutional law is merely one of the policies, legal procedures, and organizations that govern the behavior of the government and its citizens. Individual liberties are safeguarded by constitutional law, which also serves to keep the various branches of government in check. In general, the Constitution of a country seeks to establish its fundamental or basic or apex organs of government and administration, describe their structure, composition, powers, and principal functions, define their interrelationships, and regulate their relationship with the people, particularly the political relationship. Even with regard to these fundamental institutions, only the most fundamental norms are codified in the Constitution. Under the rubric of Constitutional Law, it is not appropriate to discuss any and all principles. It should be noted that the term "Constitutional law" is broader than the term "Constitution," as it includes the "Constitution" as well as applicable statutory law, judicial decisions, and conventions.

Download or read book Caretaker Conventions in Australasia written by Jennifer Menzies and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second revised edition of this monograph, Jennifer Menzies and Anne Tiernan capably chart the often hazardous terrain of the 'caretaker period' that ensues from the time an election is called until a new government is formed. This is a landscape fraught with political and administrative dangers - particularly for public servants who are required to 'mind the shop' and keep the basically machinery of government going. The conventions represent an historical accretion of custom, practice and rules, often leavened with uncertainty. In tackling their subject, Menzies and Tiernan draw upon their shared past experiences as public servants and ministerial 'staffers' as well as the highest standards of academic scholarship - this is a 'must read' for politicians, public servants and students of government. The second edition expands on the first edition by documenting recent controversies and trends which have had an impact on caretaker conventions. The analysis of the contemporary application of caretaker conventions has been updated and new case studies included - particularly from the last federal election. Also included is additional material about lengthy government formation after election day and the management of caretaker conventions during that time. The New Zealand material has been revised and updated.

Download or read book Democracy in a Divided Australia written by Matthew Lesh and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia has a new political, cultural, and economic elite. The class divides of yesteryear have been replaced new divisions between Inners and Outers. This divide is ripping apart our political parties, national debate, and social fabric. Inners are highly educated inner-city progressive cosmopolitans who value change, diversity, and self-actualisation. Inners, despite being a minority, dominate politics on both sides, the bureaucracy, universities, civil society, corporates, and the media. They have created a society ruled by educated elites - that is, ruled by themselves. Outers are the instinctive traditionalists who value stability, safety, and unity. Outers are politically, culturally, and economically marginalised in today's graduate-dominated knowledge society era. Their voice is muzzled in public debate, driving disillusionment with the major parties, and record levels of frustration, disengagement, and pessimism. In an era of global political upheaval, Democracy in a Divided Australia is the first empirically grounded investigation of Australia's political tribes, the capture of policymaking by a new elite, and charting of a path forward in a divided nation built on the five pillars of Liberal Populism: Egalitarianism, Localism, Freedom, Dignity and Unity.
