Interstate Certification Of Questions Of Law: A Valuable Process In Need Of Reform, Ira P. Robbins

Ira P. Robbins

The Myth Of Retributive Justice, Brian Slattery Dec 1991

The Myth Of Retributive Justice, Brian Slattery

Brian Slattery

In fairy tales, villains usually come to a bad end, snared in a trap of their own making, or visited with a disaster nicely suited to their particular villainy. Read a story of this kind to children and you will be struck by the profound satisfaction with which this predictable of events is greeted.

Whose Common Good? Racism In The Political Community, Stephen M. Feldman Dec 1991

Whose Common Good? Racism In The Political Community, Stephen M. Feldman

Stephen M. Feldman

Political pluralists and civic republicans have launched constitutional and political theory into a controversy of paradigmatic proportions. Pluralists insist that politics is no more than a struggle between autonomous and rational individuals or groups who strive to satisfy their preexisting private interests. Civic republicans argue instead that the government should pursue the common good, not preexisting private interests. Something vital is missing from this debate: a recognition of and confrontation with American racism. In the context of American society, no constitutional or political theory can succeed without a comprehensive awareness and understanding of racism. The Constitution must be understood, interpreted, …
