The Right To Amend State Constitutions, Jessica Bulman-Pozen, Miriam Seifter
Faculty Scholarship
This Essay explores the people's right to amend state constitutions and threats to that right today. It explains how democratic proportionality review can help courts distinguish unconstitutional infringement of the right from legitimate regulation. More broadly, the Essay considers the distinctive state constitutional architecture that popular amendment illuminates.

Intelligent Agent From A Legal Perspective: A Technical Evolution Or A Reversal Of The Rules?, Firas Kasassbeh, Nabila Kurdi
UAEU Law Journal
The new technology has generated a very complicated computer program called "the Intelligent Agent". At this moment, this program can be deemed one of the most important achievements that information technology has reached. This is because it can work independently when fulfilling the desires of its user. Therefore, it is expected that it will play a great role in enhancing the freedom of trade and easing of the communication throughout the world.
A considerable debate has been going on since the emergence of this new technology, which may cause to change the original concept of the contract. The characteristics of …

E G Whitlam: Reclaiming The Initiative In Australian History, Gregory C. Melleuish
E G Whitlam: Reclaiming The Initiative In Australian History, Gregory C. Melleuish
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
How are we to understand the place of the Whitlam government in Australian history? My starting point is an observation that history is not only contingent but our understanding of it is nominalist. That is to say that it does not have a necessary, or natural, structure. We make, and re-make, narratives according to the way in which we arrange and re-arrange what we know about what has happened in the past. Human beings crave a satisfactory narrative to explain the past as a means of understanding the present but, in so doing, they usually have to make use of …

Beyond The Call Of Duty: Why Shouldn't Video Game Players Face The Same Dilemmas As Real Soldiers?, Ben Clarke, Christian Rouffaer, Francois Senechaud
Beyond The Call Of Duty: Why Shouldn't Video Game Players Face The Same Dilemmas As Real Soldiers?, Ben Clarke, Christian Rouffaer, Francois Senechaud
Ben Clarke
Video games are influencing users’ perceptions about what soldiers are permitted to do during war. They may also be influencing the way combatants actually behave during today’s armed conflicts. While highly entertaining escapism for millions of players, some video games create the impression that prohibited acts, such as torture and extrajudicial killing are standard behaviour. The authors argue that further integration of international humanitarian law (IHL) can improve knowledge of the rules of war among millions of players, including aspiring recruits and deployed soldiers. This, in turn, offers the promise of greater respect for IHL on tomorrow’s battlefields.

Initiative And Referendum, Carter V. Celebrezze, Maryanne Rackoff
Initiative And Referendum, Carter V. Celebrezze, Maryanne Rackoff
Akron Law Review
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the process of popular legislation through the use of initiative and referendum measures gained popularity in the United States. It was during this period that twelve states, including Ohio, adopted the measures of initiative and referendum. Theodore Roosevelt advocated the adoption of these measures at the Ohio Constitutional Convention of 1912 where the Ohio legislature enacted provisions for the use of these methods of popular legislation.
An Interdisciplinary Approach To The Strategic Defense Initiative Debate, Scott F. March
An Interdisciplinary Approach To The Strategic Defense Initiative Debate, Scott F. March
Akron Law Review
An interdisciplinary framework in which international law is but one element is presented in this article in the hope of lending organization to the complex subject of space weaponization. Seven factors are discussed which strongly influence decision-makers in both the United States and the Soviet Union who are charged with establishing and implementing the military space policies of their respective nations. They are (1) the relationship between the militarization of earth and the militarization of space; (2) the effects of weapon technology and national defense policy upon the use of space; (3) the interrelationship of the international law-making process with …
The Falcon Cannot Hear The Falconer: How California's Initiative Process Is Creating An Untenable Constitution, Rudy Klapper
The Falcon Cannot Hear The Falconer: How California's Initiative Process Is Creating An Untenable Constitution, Rudy Klapper
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review
Californians have always cherished the idea that ultimate political power lies in the people, an idea best represented by the state’s hugely influential initiative process. Today, however, that initiative power threatens to spiral out of control, thanks in large part to the California Supreme Court’s inability to construe appropriate limits on it. This has created an unbalanced government where the rights of minorities are easily circumscribed and the financial and political infrastructure of the state is in danger of buckling under the combined weight of dozens of initiatives. This Article argues that the judiciary’s haphazard interpretation of various rules and …

Fixing Hollingsworth: Standing In Initiative Cases, Karl Manheim, John S. Caragozian, Donald Warner
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review
In Hollingsworth v. Perry, the Supreme Court dismissed an appeal filed by the “Official Proponents” of California’s Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in California. Chief Justice Roberts’ majority opinion held that initiative sponsors lack Article III standing to defend their ballot measures even when state officials refuse to defend against constitutional challenges. As a result, Hollingsworth provides state officers with the ability to overrule laws that were intended to bypass the government establishment—in effect, an “executive veto” of popularly-enacted initiatives.
The Article examines this new “executive veto” in depth. It places Hollingsworth in context, discussing the initiative process …

The Great Eastern Ranges (GER) Initiative aims to establish a conservation corridor inland of the east coast of Australia, stretching 3600 kilometres from north to south. The corridor is primarily defined by the Great Dividing Range and the Great Escarpment of eastern Australia (Mackey et al. 2010).

Liberty V. Elections: Minority Rights And The Failure Of Direct Democracy, David A. Schultz
Liberty V. Elections: Minority Rights And The Failure Of Direct Democracy, David A. Schultz
David A Schultz
Majority rule and special interest politics can threaten individual rights. Madisonian democracy addresses this threat through constitutional mechanisms such as a bill of rights, checks and balances, and representation. The Progressive Era reforms of initiative, referendum, and recall were adopted as a means to further democracy and break entrenched politics captured by interest groups. Yet it is not clear if these experiments in direct democracy have protected rights, let alone confined special interest politics. Using the 2012 Minnesota constitutional amendments on marriage and voter ID as examples,, this paper argues that elections, constitutional politics, and the use of initiative and …

A Republic, Not A Democracy? Initiative, Referendum, And The Constitution's Guarantee Clause, Robert G. Natelson
A Republic, Not A Democracy? Initiative, Referendum, And The Constitution's Guarantee Clause, Robert G. Natelson
Robert G. Natelson
This article debunks the myth, first arising in the 1840s, that the Founders sharply distinguished between a "republic" and a "democracy." It explains that by a "republic," most of the Founders meant a government controlled by the citizenry, following the rule of law, and without a king. Accordingly, state provisions for initiative and referendum are fully consistent with the Constitution's requirement that each state have a republican form of government; in fact, most of the governments the Founders called "republics" had featured analogous forms of direct democracy.
Measure 26: Fear Mongering, Self-Execution & Potential Implications For Birth Control, Jonathan Will
Measure 26: Fear Mongering, Self-Execution & Potential Implications For Birth Control, Jonathan Will
Journal Articles
Depending on what we mean by “fertilization,” there could be impacts on many reproductive choices including birth control, fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF), and of course, women’s ability to choose to have an abortion. Certain proponents of Measure 26 suggest that even discussing these implications (other than perhaps abortion) amounts to fear mongering. While primarily focusing on birth control, the goal of this essay is to introduce readers to why the concerns regarding these reproductive choices are very real, and how these concerns are further complicated by the issue of whether, if passed, Measure 26 would be deemed …
