The Colony-Making Power Of Congress Priced In The Purchase Of Alaska, Peter Aschenbrenner
The Colony-Making Power Of Congress Priced In The Purchase Of Alaska, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
There is certainly no power given by the Constitution to the Federal Government to establish or maintain colonies bordering on the United States or at a distance, to be ruled and governed at its own pleasure, Our Constitutional Logic paraphrases the immediate cause of the Civil War, with citation to Dred Scott’s case at 60 U.S. 393, 446 (1857). That, however, is not the only defect in the purchase of Alaska from the Czar of the Russias. Our Constitutional Logic investigates the non-Euclidean geometry pertinent to the treaty’s boundaries such as they might appear on the sphere near you.
Madison's Redans, Ravelins And Bastions: A Short History Of The War Of 1812, Peter Aschenbrenner
Madison's Redans, Ravelins And Bastions: A Short History Of The War Of 1812, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The employment of earthworks and breastworks in defense of dense communities is considered in light of the advice of Baron Henri de Jomini which the Secretary of Defense transmitted before Madison appointed. Because the Secretary failed to follow the Baron’s advice – which the Secretary had transmitted into print culture as Hints to Young Generals – Madison sacked him after the battle of Bladensburg.
James Madison’S Federalist No. 10 Considered In A Very Large State, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
James Madison’S Federalist No. 10 Considered In A Very Large State, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter Onuf’s essay in All Over the Map: The Origins of American Sectionalism measures the cost of diversity in constituencies: eventually geography tears a nation apart or supplies the preconditions for its destruction. James Madison’s Federalist No. 10 argues that large republics are possible, a thesis (obliquely) opposed to Onuf’s. Our Constitutional Logic investigates.

Table Annexed To Article: A Survey Of The Federal Convention's Note-Takers, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Eleven of the fifty-five delegates that attended the Federal Convention took notes during the proceedings. These notes, along with Jackson’s official journal and available committee drafts, are assembled in Farrand’s Records of the Federal Convention of 1787. The best known are Major Wm. Jackson and James Madison, the convention’s official Secretary and its unofficial note-taker, respectively. The efforts of all twelve note-takers are surveyed by output.

The Significance Of As 8.08.207 And Marshall’S Mcculloch, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
To become a lawyer in Alaska study at an accredited law school is rendered (potentially) avoidable if a student can study the branches of the law as prescribed by the course of study adopted by the University of Alaska, by which paraphrase Our Constitutional Logic cites the reader to AS 8.08.207(c).

The Federalist essays count 189,728 words.

The Significance Of As 8.08.207 And Marshall's Mcculloch, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Madison’s Federalist No. 10 theorized that size wasn’t an issue when it came to constructing a large republic. Our Constitutional Logic investigates events as they devolved upon the admission of Alaska to the Union on January 3, 1959.
As 24.25.065, A Statute Devolved From Aristotle's Rhetoric, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
As 24.25.065, A Statute Devolved From Aristotle's Rhetoric, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The legislative council shall annually examine, AS 24.20.065(a) provides in paraphrase, published opinions of state courts that rely on state statutes if the opinions indicate unclear or ambiguous statutes. Our Constitutional Logic examines the collaboration theory of lawmakers, on the codelaw and caselaw side of the ledger.

Ages Of The Delegates At The Federal Convention: Early Birds And Worms?, Peter Aschenbrenner
Ages Of The Delegates At The Federal Convention: Early Birds And Worms?, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Of the fifty-five delegates who attended the federal convention at Philadelphia in 1787, the median in age was Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut, thirty-two years old. The delegate with the median remaining life span was Jacob Broom of Delaware (thirty-three years). The early arrivers were neither older nor younger than the others. Nor were they marked down for a shorter or longer remaining lifespan.
Initial Federal Offices Created/Contemplated By The Philadelphia Constitution, Peter Aschenbrenner
Initial Federal Offices Created/Contemplated By The Philadelphia Constitution, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Whether commands, permission, or prohibitions are trafficked, this three-way division credited to Jeremy Bentham, spatial logic dictates that for every office there must be, sooner or later, an office holder. The one hundred and seven offices created or contemplated by the Philadelphia Constitution are surveyed.

Our Constitutional Kinesis: Words That Can Go Like A Machine, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner

The Reannexation Of Alaska, By Russia, Reconsidered, Peter Aschenbrenner
The Reannexation Of Alaska, By Russia, Reconsidered, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Each house district shall be formed of contiguous and compact territory containing as nearly as practicable a relatively integrated socio-economic area, in paraphrase, the Alaska Constitution (Article VI) enjoins. However, when the current potentate of all that is Russia considers reannexation of all that is Alaska, the results must be calendared accordingly to their respective merits.

Madison’S Semantic Purity Project And Its Sisters, Peter Aschenbrenner
Madison’S Semantic Purity Project And Its Sisters, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Madison’s semantic purity project foundered on a reef of Hamiltonian dimensions; its lack of success should intensify our interest in all of its programmatic aspects. This broader view is provided by treating two of JM’s projects – named as Madison’s Ratifications: Exploiting Ratification Debates and Madison’s Taxonomy: Fifteen Methods of Constitutional Reasoning – as co-equal to Madison’s Semantic Purity: Procedures at Risk. The article follows on The Doctrine of Semantic Purity: Madison’s Project (and its Difficulties) Introduced, 2 OCL 798

James Madison And Wm. Blackstone: Introducing ‘The Kinetic Becomes The New Semantic’, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
James Madison And Wm. Blackstone: Introducing ‘The Kinetic Becomes The New Semantic’, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Wm. Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England achieved instant best-seller status in the United Kingdom. Blackstone’s 676,020 words overwhelms, in volume, James Madison’s 5,818 words devoted to the debate over Hamilton’s proposed Bank of the United States in 1791, the outcome of which went against Madison. It would be hard to find two less likely candidates for apples-to-apples comparison than the nascently academic Blackstone and the programmatic Madison. Our Constitutional Logic investigates

The Doctrine Of Stare Decisis In United States Supreme Court Opinions, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The Doctrine Of Stare Decisis In United States Supreme Court Opinions, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
OCL surveys United States Supreme Court cases from 1791 to 1900 for deployment of the phrase stare decisis in opinions and published arguments before the Court. The people, as Madison conceded, make their own precedents; they do this by approving (or not disapproving) official action (in the recent past); in turn, these officials look back to official action taken at time/s more or less remote from the present for their precedents.
