Table Annexed To Article: ‘Theory’ And ‘Science’ In The ‘Abstract’ In The Federalist Papers, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
OCL directs attention to the logics and feasibilities anterior to the crafting of constitutional text. The Federalist Papers is thoroughly committed to exploring these logics – spatial, discrete and predicate – insofar as the format (two thousand word articles in newspapers, offering comment on issues-of-the-day, especially ratification of the proposed Philadelphia constitution) will permit. The ninety-three ‘hits’ on ‘science,’ ‘logic,’ ‘math-,’ ‘abstract,’ ‘theory,’ and so forth receive due attention.

Table Annexed To Article: Who Were The Superfounders? And Why Does It Matter?, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Thirty-two of the fifty-five delegates who attended the federal convention went on to attend a ratifying convention; twenty-five are Yes-Founders and one, Gov. Edmund Randolph, won his ‘SuperFounder’ status at the Virginia Ratifying Convention. Never before surveyed as a group, the table annexed names the SuperFounders and details their opposite numbers, the NoFounders.

Peter J. Aschenbrenner
A standardized format for presenting machine-readable text is offered. The Early Constitution’s 5,223 words appear without ‘Article,’ ‘Section,’ or other signals.

The Colours Of The Constitution: More On Deep Structure And Logics Anterior, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The Colours Of The Constitution: More On Deep Structure And Logics Anterior, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The colours of the Early Constitution, broken down into Philadelphia and Corrective Constitutions, and further subdividable, reveals our first glimpse of the deep structure of constitutional texts. An introduction to constitutional logic – or at least a presentation of the effects of its deployment in venue – demonstrates the divide between crafting responsibilities and disabilities, a divide taken seriously by text writers, even if it would come as a surprise to all but the good Doctor Franklin.

'Shall’ Vs. ‘Will’ In The Early Constitution: Yet Another Trans-Atlantic Dustup, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Divided by a large ocean and a common language, it’s not surprising that, yet again, empire and colony dispute, and this time, it's helping verbs, , as if taxation without representation weren’t enough of a sore point. Grammar surveyed; points scored.
Who's Got Bragging Rights: Articles Of Confederation Edition, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Who's Got Bragging Rights: Articles Of Confederation Edition, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The order in the (newly minted) states ratified the Articles of Confederation can be compared with the order these states selected delegates to attend the Second Continental Congress which (in turn) proposed the Articles to the states for ratification. This comparison can then be exploited to assign bragging rights.

Table Annexed To Article: Ages Of The Delegates At The Federal Convention, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Of the fifty-five delegates who attended the federal convention at Philadelphia in 1787, the median in age was Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut, thirty-two years old. The delegate with the median remaining life span was Jacob Broom of Delaware (thirty-three years). The early arrivers were neither older nor younger than the others. Nor were they marked down for a shorter or longer remaining lifespan.

Table Annexed To Article: The Few, The Happy Few, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The fifty-five credentialed delegates who attended (at least one or more) sessions of the Philadelphia convention supplied thirty-nine delegate signatories. But this figure is not the fewest number of delegates who could have organized the United States of America; that is, a new government which would substitute for (or secede from) the United States in Congress Assembled, the style of the (then existing) government under the Articles of Confederation.

Chart Annexed To Article: Delegate Arrivals In Philadelphia Compared To Voting Records, Peter Aschenbrenner, David Kimball
Chart Annexed To Article: Delegate Arrivals In Philadelphia Compared To Voting Records, Peter Aschenbrenner, David Kimball
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Fifty-five delegates were appointed by twelve states to attend the federal convention in May, 1787. Eleven states ratified the Constitution between December 7, 1787 and July 26, 1788. When delegate arrival dates are compared with the order in which their respective state ratification conventions completed their business, a significant number of delegates supporting the constitution are missing in action.

Table Annexed To Article: Dual Office Holding And Status Acquisition Requirements/Prohibitions In The Federal Constitution, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner

'Fast And Fourteen': Delegates Who Left The Federal Convention Early, Peter Aschenbrenner
'Fast And Fourteen': Delegates Who Left The Federal Convention Early, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Of the fifty-five delegates who attended the federal convention at Philadelphia in 1787, fourteen left before the constitution concluded its business on September 17, 1787. Their voting records disclose that, just like those early arrivers who supported the Constitution, early leavers who opposed the Constitution were overwhelmed by the number of supporters who departed.

The State Of The Canon In Constitutional Law: Lessons From The Jurisprudence Of John Marshall, David E. Marion
The State Of The Canon In Constitutional Law: Lessons From The Jurisprudence Of John Marshall, David E. Marion
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
Constitutional law has been an active battlefield as competing groups within the academy seek to deconstruct, reconstruct, and/or relegitimize the teaching and practice of law in the United States. Much of the rhetoric of the debate is couched in the language of rights. There is a danger that diminished attention to powers in the rhetoric and teaching of constitutional law may compromise sober and moderate constitutional reasoning. By reinvigorating reflection on powers-related issues, the legal profession can do its part to promote sobriety, and hence an added dose of prudence, in constitutional reflection and discourse by a democratic citizenry whose …

The Land Rights Of Indigenous Canadian Peoples, Brian Slattery
The Land Rights Of Indigenous Canadian Peoples, Brian Slattery
Brian Slattery
The problem examined in this work is whether the land rights originally held by Canada's Indigenous peoples survived the process whereby the British Crown acquired sovereignty over their territories, and, if so, in what form. The question, although historical in nature, has important implications for current disputes involving Aboriginal land claims in Canada. It is considered here largely as a matter of first impression. The author has examined the historical evidence with a fresh eye, in the light of contemporaneous legal authorities. Due consideration is given to modern case-law, but the primary focus is upon the historical process proper.
