Reapportionment: Success Story Of The Warren Court, Robert B. Mckay Dec 1968

Scholarly Works

Earlier in the pages of this Review the judicial application of the "one-man-one-vote" standard to local government is discussed in detail. As noted, the United States Supreme Court did not completely evolve this standard for state legislatures until June, 1964. Since that time, the state courts and the lower federal courts have been inundated with litigation raising the question of the basic applicability of the standard to local governments in this country, as well as a host of accompanying inquiries. This litigation and the courts' reactions to it were extensively traced. At the close of its term, however, the Court …

Electoral College - Its Defects And Dangers, The, John D. Feerick

Faculty Scholarship

The election seems certain to point up the perils in our present system. Although our system of electing the President is now under scrutiny by Congress, reform does not appear imminent. As in the case of presidential inability, a tragedy or near …
