This book was released on 1985 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 details the workings of the Court's experimental practice of sending Justices around the country to serve as judges at sessions of the various federal circuit courts. The documents in this volume reveal that the justices quickly voiced bitter complaints about the demands of their circuit duties. They also questioned the propriety--and perhaps constitutionality--of assigning the same individuals to act as superior and inferior court judges. The documents in this volume also touch upon topics that figured prominently in the law and politics of the era: neutrality, the boundary between state and federal crimes, the constitutional prohibition against impairing the obligations of contracts, and the relationship between law and morality.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divided into two volumes, The Teachings of Modern Christianity on Law, Politics, and Human Nature offers a landmark collection of writings from twenty Christian thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and analyses of their work by leading contemporary religious scholars.With selections from the works of Jacques Maritain, Gustavo Gutiérrez, Dorothy Day, Pope John Paul II, Susan B. Anthony, Karl Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Reinhold Niebuhr, Martin Luther King Jr., Nikolai Berdyaev, Vladimir Lossky, and others, Volume 2 illustrates the different venues, vectors, and sometimes-conflicting visions of what a Christian understanding of law, politics, and society entails. The collection includes works by popes, pastors, nuns, activists, and theologians writing from within the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christian traditions. Addressing racism, totalitarianism, sexism, and other issues, many of the figures in this volume were the victims of church censure, exile, imprisonment, assassination, and death in Nazi concentration camps. These writings amplify the long and diverse tradition of modern Christian social thought and its continuing relevance to contemporary pluralistic societies. The volume speaks to questions regarding the nature and purpose of law and authority, the limits of rule and obedience, the care and nurture of the needy and innocent, the rights and wrongs of war and violence, and the separation of church and state. The historical focus and ecumenical breadth of this collection fills an important scholarly gap and revives the role of Christian social thought in legal and political theory.The first volume of The Teachings of Modern Christianity on Law Politics, and Human Nature includes essays by leading contemporary religious scholars, exploring the ideas, influences, and intellectual and cultural contexts of the figures from this volume.

This book was released on 2014-09-27 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents historical documents related to significant debates about the organization and jurisdiction of the federal judiciary in the years between the Federal Convention of 1787 and the Jurisdiction and Removal Act of 1875. The documents and accompanying annotation trace the long process of defining the judiciary within the relatively brief outline provided by Article III of the Constitution and by the appointment provisions of Article II. The delegates to the Federal Convention ensured that federal judges would have a degree of independence from political influence and popular pressure, but the delegates also granted the Congress and the president substantial authority over the structure, responsibilities, and officials of the federal courts. Although federal judges would enjoy unprecedented protections of tenure and salary, the constitutional provisions for nomination and confirmation further determined that the courts would be subject to the political process.The Constitution ensured that the Congress would be the principal forum for debates on the institutional structure of the federal judiciary and on the jurisdictional authorities of the courts. In addition to its selection of documents from the debates on the constitutional provisions for the judiciary, this volume is organized primarily around proposals for judiciary-related legislation. Legislative proposals regarding the federal judiciary emerged from every branch of the federal and state governments, from the bar, from legal commentators, from popular political organizations, and occasionally from federal judges. A succession of debates on these proposals raised fundamental questions about the constitutional role of the judiciary and its relationship to the elected branches of the government.The Constitution left for the elected branches of the government to define essential characteristics of the judiciary, including the establishment of federal courts other than the Supreme Court, the authorization of the range of jurisdiction permitted under the Constitution, and the division of jurisdiction between federal and state courts. As the debates over ratification demonstrated, the decisions about those aspects of the judiciary would be highly contested by opposing political factions, and expectations for the federal judiciary would often reflect fundamentally divergent views of republican government and constitutional order. The emergence of political parties in the 1790s heightened the disputes over the judiciary, and the branch of government that received the least attention during the constitutional convention became a central subject of partisan debate.
