The Significance Of Signatures: Why The Framers Signed The Constitution And What They Meant By Doing So, Michael Coenen Mar 2010

The Significance Of Signatures: Why The Framers Signed The Constitution And What They Meant By Doing So, Michael Coenen

Journal Articles

The signing of the U.S. Constitution is traditionally understood as the closing act of the Constitutional Convention. This Note provides an alternative account, one that understands the Constitution’s signing as the opening act of the ratification campaign that followed in the Convention’s wake. To begin, the Note explains the signatures’ ambiguous form as the product of political maneuvering designed to win support for the Constitution during ratification. The Note then hypothesizes two ways in which the signatures may have helped to secure this support: (1) by highlighting pro-Constitution selling-points likely to resonate with the ratifying public; and (2) by limiting …

Babbling About Employment Discrimination Law: Does The Builder Understand The Blueprint For The Great Tower?, William R. Corbett Jan 2010

Babbling About Employment Discrimination Law: Does The Builder Understand The Blueprint For The Great Tower?, William R. Corbett

Journal Articles

The article focuses on the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in which the Court held that a plaintiff asserting an intentional age discrimination claim cannot avail himself of the mixed-motives proof structure and instead must prove but-for causation. Gross v. FBL Financial Services, Inc., 129 S. Ct. 2343 (2009). The decision was controversial, and it has provoked calls for a legislative response. My article considers Gross from two perspectives. First, Gross is the second Supreme Court decision, following Desert Palace, Inc. v. Costa, 539 U.S. 90 (2003), to interpret the effects of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 on the …


Private Force/Public Goods, Scott M. Sullivan Jan 2010

Private Force/Public Goods, Scott M. Sullivan

Journal Articles

This Article rethinks the benefits and dangers of private force in war. It shows that privatization must be viewed within the special requirements and confines of national security policy making and weighed against available alternatives. Contrary to academic and mainstream conventional wisdom, this Article concludes that national security privatization comports well with core constitutional and democratic principles and offers greater transparency and democratic control than commonly understood. Moreover, this Article argues that the American use of privatized force reflects and accomplishes normative and democratic commitments of international and domestic law that would be impossible to replicate through other policy avenues.
