Citizenship, Constitutionalism And Democracy, Daniel Fodorean Apr 2024

Citizenship, Constitutionalism And Democracy, Daniel Fodorean

Helm's School of Government Conference - American Revival: Citizenship & Virtue

Romania, a former communist and monarchical country, can serve as a case study regarding how different forms of government have influenced the understanding and application of citizenship. How the citizen was understood and how citizenship was acquired or lost reflects the values that have been the basis of Romanian society at every stage of its evolution since the establishment of the Romanian state, in 1859, until now. The assumption is that each of the seven constitutions that Romania had, expresses citizenship in a specific way, associated with the form of government.

1983, Brandon Hasbrouck

Scholarly Articles

This Piece embraces a fictional narrative to illustrate deep flaws in our legal system. It borrows its basic structure and a few choice lines from George Orwell’s classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Like Orwell’s novel, it is set in the not-too-distant future to comment on problems already emerging in the present. The footnotes largely provide examples of some of those problems and how courts have treated them in a constitutional law context. The title (itself quite close to Orwell’s own title) is a reference to our chief civil rights statute, while the story deals with a critical threat to that …

Removing A Log From The Nation’S Eye: A National Self-Analysis Of The Domestic Terrorism Question, Katherine R. Doan

Helm's School of Government Conference - American Revival: Citizenship & Virtue

Terroristic values are easy to be ascribed to foreign enemies, but it is far more difficult to admit that domestic citizens could be extremist to the point of being labeled a terrorist. Terrorists are not born; they are made. The following research focuses on the commonalities of upbringing in known domestic terrorists within the United States of America that may reveal noticeable similarities in education, radicalization, and identity. The criminal justice system has yet to discover a perfect method of administering retribution to terrorists. While they have broken the law, their intentions and results are not the same as an …

Implementasi Peraturan Daerah Dalam Otonomi Daerah Menjadi Salah Satu Parameter Good Governance, Ananda Rayhana Putri Dec 2022

Implementasi Peraturan Daerah Dalam Otonomi Daerah Menjadi Salah Satu Parameter Good Governance, Ananda Rayhana Putri

"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI

Regional Regulation as one of the regional legal products is something inherent with the Regional Autonomy system. This is a consequence of the regional autonomy system itself which is based on independence and is not a form of freedom of an independent government unit. Independence itself means that the Region has the right to regulate and manage the domestic affairs of its own government. The authority to regulate here means that the region has the right to make legal decisions in the form of laws and regulations. In forming a region it is not easy because it requires sufficient knowledge …
