Can Balance Be Restored In The Constitutional War Powers Of The President And Congress?, William B. Spong Jr.
Can Balance Be Restored In The Constitutional War Powers Of The President And Congress?, William B. Spong Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The Cambodian incursion of April, 1970, brought forth renewed observations from constitutional scholars, eminent and amateur, that the war-making power of Congress had been eroded and the checks and balances system for the initiation and conduct of hostilities by American troops, as contemplated by the Founding Fathers, rendered almost inoperative. Debates on the National Commitments Resolution and the Cooper-Church Amendments, as well as events following adoption of these measures, appear to sustain such conclusions. How has this happened? What, if anything, can be done to restore some balance in this crucial area of public policy? Should there be an effort …

Thomas Jefferson recognized the need for promoting adequate public education in Virginia's constitution in the late eighteenth century. Since 1867 education has been a significant part of Virginia's fundamental law, and, as such, the constitutional provisions relating to education have required much time and thought throughout their development. It is the purpose of this article not only to analyze the Education Article of the Virginia Constitution of 1971, but also to ascertain if these provisions provide the needed impetus for quality public education in Virginia.
Cruel And Unusual Punishment-Constitutionality Of The Death Penalty For Rape Where Victim's Life Neither Taken Nor Endangered
University of Richmond Law Review
Throughout history societies have attempted to influence behavior and maintain order through the use of sanctions imposed by custom, tradition and law. Various methods and degrees of punishment have been exacted for anti-social behavior; each individual society fixing its own value upon the interest to be protected and its interest in punishing the offender. Some civilizations have utilized torture, maiming and, not infrequently, cruel and painful deaths as punishment for crimes.
One Man-One Vote In The Selection Of Presidential Nominating Delegates By State Party Conventions
One Man-One Vote In The Selection Of Presidential Nominating Delegates By State Party Conventions
University of Richmond Law Review
If any conclusion can safely be drawn from the presidential nominating conventions of 1968, it is that the success of potential third party movements looms as a substantial threat to the traditional two party system in the United States. To a large degree, this fact may be attributed to the lack of balanced voter participation inherent in the nominating processes now employed by the two major parties. This lack of participation has engendered a sense of futility in the minds of the individual party members, causing them to limit their support for the slate of candidates their party ultimately chooses.
Due Process And The Harsher Penalty After Appeal-An Unwarranted Extension Of Pearce
Due Process And The Harsher Penalty After Appeal-An Unwarranted Extension Of Pearce
University of Richmond Law Review
At common law there was no "right" to an appeal. Such a "right" could only be established by legislative enactment. The statutes creating a right to an appeal brought with them the problems of determining the constitutional protections that must be afforded this right. Much controversy has centered around one such problem, that of the constitutionality of imposing a more stringent sentence on a defendant after he has successfully appealed and attained a new trial.

The Emerging Constitutional Privilege To Conceal Confidential News Sources
University of Richmond Law Review
In furtherance of the national interest in an informed populace, the American press has evolved into a sophisticated and complex system of news reporting that is universal in scope. Although methods of accumulating and disseminating data have changed with technological advancement, the people have continued to be the primary source of news reports. Communications from source to media frequently are conducted in confidence, with the anonymity of the informant being a condition precedent to disclosure of the information. Legal problems develop when the newsman is called upon to reveal the identity of his confidential source in a judicial or legislative …
The Clear And Present Danger Standard: Its Present Viability
The Clear And Present Danger Standard: Its Present Viability
University of Richmond Law Review
The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States provides that "Congress shall make no law ...abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble..." While the terms of the first amendment appear to be all embracing, its application has never been absolute. Its guarantees have always been subject to regulation by the state wherever they endangered the safety or welfare of the public. The fundamental issue involved in all first amendment problems involving free expression is the determination of the point at which the rights of the individual stop …
