Constitutional Design And Law: The Political Economy Of Cabinet And Congressional Government, Matthew S. R. Palmer

The Hon Justice Matthew Palmer

The dissertation takes a political economy approach to constitutional design and legislation in the Westminster (Cabinet) and US (Congressional) models of government. Part I develops the economics of comparative political organization by constructing a theoretical framework for analyzing constitutional design. Part II applies the framework to distinguish the essences of the Cabinet and Congressional systems of constitutional design in the contexts of US and Canadian federal government. Part III analyzes the effects of the different constitutional designs on the processes of legislating in each system and on the substantive characteristics of legislation in each system. The analysis is subjected to …

On Misreading John Bingham And The Fourteenth Amendment, Richard L. Aynes

Richard L. Aynes

Nearly fifty years ago, Professor Charles Fairman published his seminal article, Does the Fourteenth Amendment Incorporate the Bill of Rights? According to Fairman, it does not. Fairman's analysis of the congressional debates and other historical data on the Fourteenth Amendment led him to conclude that the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Amendment does not make the Bill of Rights applicable to the states. Instead, Fairman argued that the intent of the Amendment's framers is most nearly realized by the use of the Due Process Clause to enforce against the states only those rights “ ‘implicit in the concept of …

Your Image Is My Image: When Advertising Dedicates Trademarks To The Public Domain--With An Example From The Trademark Counterfeiting Act Of 1984, Malla Pollack

Malla Pollack

Trademark laws protect the mental association between the source n4 of a product and the product itself. This protection allows consumers to locate merchandise of known quality, and motivates suppliers to produce better merchandise. The extent to which trademarks are property rights owned by the controller of the items they identify is controversial. These dual purposes of trademark protection are often phrased as if the objectives reinforce one another. Sometimes, however, the interests conflict. If the public's interests are not recognized they cannot be protected. This article suggests the existence of an ignored public ownership interest. Trademarks may become communicative …

A Philosophical Ground For Gays' Rights: "We Must Learn What Is True In Order To Do What Is Right", James M. Donovan

James M. Donovan

A major platform of gays' rights seems to be that gays are entitled to social and political rights because, in fact, they are not different from the heterosexual majority when one looks past the definitional criterion of sleeping with the same sex. Any other differences, they claim, are "myths" and do not exist. From this perspective, without investigating bedroom behavior, one could never tell who is gay and who is not: Gays are just like "regular" people, the line goes, so they should be treated like them. "The best hope for acceptance," writes one Ann Landers reader, "is to show …

21st Century Physics (A 21. Szazad Fizikaja), Milan Meszaros

Milan Meszaros physicist

Mivel a 21. század alatt ma sokan önkéntelenül is az ezredfordulót vagy az utána következõ néhány évet értik, így fotos kiemelni, hogy jelen tanulmányban nem az ezredforduló fizikája kerül bemutatásra, mert a millennium már nagyon közel van, s így az a fizika alig fog különbözni a jelenlegitõl. (Bár, a jelenlegi fizikai világkép mibenlétének ismertetése is érdeklõdésre tarthatna számot.)

Az elõadásban kísérlet történik a 21. század fizikája és fizikai világképe kontúrjának felrajzolására, de nem bizonyos futurológiai elméletek alapján –mivel a szerzõ szerint az a század eleji ”futurizmus”-nak felelne meg–, hanem, a mai fizikában meglévõ immanens és sajnos alig ismert tendenciák alapján. …

"Pay At The Pump" Auto Insurance: The California Vehicle Injury Plan (Vip) For Better Compensation, Fairer Funding, And Greater Safety, Stephen D. Sugarman

Stephen D Sugarman

This small book offers the basic argument for a comprehensive auto no-fault plan that is largely funded by payments made as motorists purchase gasoline. This VIP "Pay at the Pump" plan would replace the current scheme of tort liability and private automobile liability insurance. It would save most motorists money, it would more fairly price the cost of auto accidents, it would promote safer cars and safer driving, and it would far better compensate victims (especially seriously injured victims) of auto accidents than does the current scheme.
