Forty Years Of Welfare Policy Experimentation: No Acres, No Mule, No Politics, No Rights, Julie A. Nice
Forty Years Of Welfare Policy Experimentation: No Acres, No Mule, No Politics, No Rights, Julie A. Nice
Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy
This introductory essay questions putting nearly all effort into social policywhich has failed to reduce povertyand calls instead for reinvigorating other tactics and re-imagining the unfinished dream of economic justice. Indeed, what Martin Luther King, Jr. envisioned was an actual war on poverty, not merely the abbreviated, under-funded, and ultimately unsuccessful effort of the 1960s, nor the imposter war on welfare that has dominated our social policy effort since. But our social policy has not only failed to reduce poverty, it failed to focus long-needed attention on poverty and inequality. Nor has social policy facilitated the political mobilization of poor …

The Water Excise Tax: Preserving A Necessary Resource, Thomas Lee
Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy
This Comment will first examine the history and current state of laws regulating water use in the United States, and the commercial uses that are the target of the proposed Water Excise Tax. The next step will be to discuss the tax itself from several perspectives: First, its constitutionality, structure, and application in the framework of existing water law; second, its advantages and disadvantages based on its regulatory nature and scope; and finally, the normative benefits of indirect regulation. The theses underlying all of these sections are that public drinking water will become scarce in the very near future, that …

Revisiting Beccaria's Vision: The Enlightenment, America's Death Penalty, And The Abolition Movement, John D. Bessler
Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy
In 1764, Cesare Beccaria, a 26-year-old Italian, penned . The treatise argued that state-sanctioned executions and torture violate natural law. As we near the 250th anniversary of its publication, author John D. Bessler provides a comprehensive review of the abolition movement, from before Beccaria's time to the present. Bessler reviews Beccaria's influence on Enlightenment thinkers and more importantly, on America's Founding Fathers.

Unwilling Warriors: An Examination Of The Power To Conscript In Peacetime, Jason Britt
Unwilling Warriors: An Examination Of The Power To Conscript In Peacetime, Jason Britt
Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy
As military involvement overseas persists, pressure to increase the size of the armed services will continue. While higher bonuses and lower recruiting standards relieve this pressure, these measures may not be enough and an active military draft is an attractive alternative. Indeed, although the military draft has been inactive for nearly thirty years, current U.S. involvement overseas has aroused discussion for reactivation of the military draft. In light of this call to reactive the draft, this Student Comment proposes a framework for analyzing the constitutionality of an active military draft under the Thirteenth Amendment. Specifically, this Comment argues that courts …
Eliminating The Secondary Earner Bias: Lessons From Malaysia, The United Kingdom, And Ireland, Tonya Major Gauff
Eliminating The Secondary Earner Bias: Lessons From Malaysia, The United Kingdom, And Ireland, Tonya Major Gauff
Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy
This Student Comment explores the long-standing gender bias inherent in the United States Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Specifically, this Comment discusses the bias of the taxing code against secondary earners in dual-income families. Under the IRC, primary earners in a dual-income household are taxed at a much lower rate than secondary earners in the household. As women have historically suffered from lower wages and income than their husbands, the effect of the IRC is to tax married women at much higher rates than married men. Indeed, the average working married woman loses over two-thirds of her pay to income taxes. …
