Founding Corporate Power In Early National Philadelphia, Andrew Schocket

Andrew M Schocket

During its first heady decades, the United States promised to become a fully democratic society with unprecedented liberty and opportunity. Yet, as political rights spread, a rising elite gained control over the sources of prosperity by means of the institution that has since come to symbolize capitalist America—the corporation. In this study, Andrew M. Schocket analyzes the establishment, growth, and operations of both commercial and municipal corporations in the nation’s premier city, Philadelphia. From the 1780s through the 1820s, members of Philadelphia’s privileged class formed corporations in order to consolidate their capital and political influence. By controlling regional transportation networks …

“Peripheral Inclusion: Communal Belonging In Suriname’S Sephardic Community”, Aviva Ben-Ur

Aviva Ben-Ur

This article compares the membership status of Eurafricans in the Portuguese Jewish communities of Curaçao and Suriname. In the former colony, free people of African origin were almost entirely barred from admission, whereas in Suriname manumitted Africans and their descendants were included as members, albeit sidelined to the margins, a phenomenon I term "peripheral inclusion."

Originalism & Early Civil Search Statutes: The Misunderstood History Of Suspicion & Probable Cause, Fabio Arcila, Jr.

Fabio Arcila Jr.

Originalist analyses of the Framers’ views about governmental search power have devoted insufficient attention to the civil search statutes they promulgated. What attention has been paid, primarily as part of what I term the “conventional account,” has it that the Framers were divided about how accessible search remedies should be. This article explains why this conventional account is mostly wrong, and explores the lessons to be learned from the statutory choices the Framers made with regard to search and seizure law.

In enacting civil search statutes, the Framers chose to depart from common law standards and instead largely followed the …

Age, Language, Culture, And Lexical Content: Influences On The Interpretation Of Novel Idioms, Ellen H. Courtney

Ellen H Courtney

This study investigates children’s developing abilities in interpreting novel idioms presented in isolation and in contexts that support figurative interpretations. In total, 137 children (aged 6;5 to 11;0) and 24 adults were tested in English or Spanish in both conditions. Participants included 101 children from Texas, and 36 from Mexico. Success in developing figurative interpretations in both conditions improved with age. The relative transparency of the individual idioms presented in isolation differed for adults and children. Although no differences were observed between English and Spanish speakers, the Mexican children outperformed their Texan counterparts in the no-context condition. Figurative-biasing contexts helped …
