Showing titles in Constitutions

To understand the most contentious issues around religious liberty, this volume provides influential philosophical ideas from the US’ founding to the present day and key US Supreme Court judgements to ask how the two twin pillars of religious freedom - free exercise and the limit on religious establishment - unfold in daily life.

Essays, speeches, and letters on constitution ratification, pardoning powers, the Bank of the U.S., and foreign policy illuminate not only Hamilton’s legacy but his compelling engagement with Madison, Jefferson, and Adams, and his legendary conflict with Burr.

Demokratie braucht Offenheit, Konfrontation und klare Spielregeln - mühsam und eine Art Stresstest in diesen Krisenzeiten. Dabei steht nicht weniger als das Vertrauen zwischen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern und Politik auf dem Spiel. Wie kann man die Verfassung populismusfester, die Kommunalpolitik elternfreundlicher oder das Beamtentum zeitgemäßer machen? Wie lassen sich da, wo Regeln fehlen, neue verabschieden?

With the Supreme Court likely to reverse Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion decision, American debate appears fixated on clashing rights. The first comprehensive legal history of a vital period, Abortion and the Law in America illuminates an entirely different and unexpected shift in the terms of debate. Drawing on unexplored records and interviews with key participants, Ziegler complicates the view that the Supreme Court is responsible for the escalation of the conflict.

Americans seldom deify their Founding Fathers any longer, but they do still tend to venerate the Constitution and the republican government that the founders created. Strikingly, the founders themselves were far less confident in what they had wrought, particularly by the end of their lives. In fact, most of them - including George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson - came to deem America's constitutional experiment an utter failure that was unlikely to last beyond their own generation.

La "Costituzione della Repubblica Italiana" è la legge fondamentale dello Stato italiano, che in quanto tale occupa il vertice della gerarchia delle fonti nell'ordinamento giuridico della Repubblica: considerata una costituzione scritta, rigida, lunga, votata, compromissoria, laica, democratica e tendenzialmente programmatica, è formata da 139 articoli e di 18 disposizioni transitorie e finali. Approvata dall'Assemblea Costituente il 22 dicembre 1947 e promulgata dal capo provvisorio dello Stato Enrico De Nicola il 27 dicembre seguente.

La costituzione è la legge fondamentale dello Stato italiano. La costituzione elenca i principi fondamentali su cui si basa la Repubblica Italiana, primo tra tutti il lavoro. Essa contiene inoltre i diritti e i doveri dei cittadini e i principi dell'ordinamento della Repubblica, che prescrivono il funzionamento delle istituzioni democratiche. La costituzione si ispira fondamentalmente a principi anti-autoritari e anti-fascisti, poichè la Repubblica fu proclamata dai partigiani nel dopoguerra alla fine del regime di Mussolini.

The Federalist Papers is a series of 85 articles arguing in favor of ratification of the United States Constitution by the 13 original colonies. Federalist No. 74 discusses the powers of the president as commander-in-chief and to grant pardons and reprieves. Hamilton asserts that the role of commander-in-chief is inherent in the office itself and requires the speed and resolve of a single decision-maker.

1993年の初版刊行以来、多くの読者の圧倒的な支持を受け、四半世紀にわたって読みつがれてきた憲法教科書の決定版を四年ぶりに改訂。

Though published in 1867 when the British Empire was approaching its height, Walter Bagehot’s essay "The English Constitution" is not only one of the great political classics but is also an unquestionably relevant document for our times. Despite the passing of more than 150 years, despite huge changes in enfranchisement, in attitudes and in world order, this fascinating document prompts us to re-evaluate the process of government - wherever we live. And what is more, it is written with grace, elegance - and wit!

A short, accessible collection of key historic writings about presidential impeachment, as part of a new Penguin Classics series on liberty and constitutional rights.

Exploring the full sweep of federalism from the founding to today, Kettl focuses on pivotal moments when power has shifted between state and national governments - from the violent rebalancing of the Civil War, when the nation almost split in two, to the era of civil rights a century later, when there was apparent agreement that inequality was a threat to liberty and the federal government should set policies for states to enact. Despite this consensus, inequality between states has only deepened since that moment.

When Clarence Thomas joined the Supreme Court in 1991, he found with dismay that it was interpreting a very different Constitution from the one the framers had written - the one that had established a federal government manned by the people's own elected representatives, charged with protecting citizens' inborn rights while leaving them free to work out their individual happiness themselves, in their families, communities, and states.

Frente a la actual «panoplia de zapadores» de la Constitución que busca dividir el país -nacionalistas, populistas, antisistemas-, los firmes partidarios de la libertad y la democracia van reculando en sus posiciones hasta conformar un «ejército de descontentos acobardados». Esta es la razón principal que impulsó a Alfonso Guerra, político orgulloso de la Transición que nos «devolvió la dignidad», a escribir La España en la que creo.

学生時代に勉強した日本国憲法を改めて言葉で聴くと、旧かな使い、旧漢字で理解しづらかった文言に命が吹き込まれ はるかに理解しやすい文章に思える。今一度、自国の憲法を再確認していただくにはもってこいのオーディオブックです。

・現実的な選択をすればいい 　護憲か、改憲か。 　いつものように、お互いに相いれない主張がぶつかり合い、感情的な言葉のやり取りが繰り広げられている。 　ある国会議員は言う。現行憲法はアメリカによる押し付けであり、この憲法下で日本人は平和ボケし、近隣諸国から馬鹿にされ、領海を侵犯されても手も足も出せない状態になっている。だからこれをすぐに改めなくてはならないと。 　日本維新の会は、その綱領の中で、「日本を孤立と軽蔑の対象に貶め、絶対平和という非現実的な共同幻想を押し付けた元凶である占領憲法を大幅に改正し、国家、民族を真の自立に導き、国家を蘇生させる」と言っている。 　いさましくも空疎な言葉の羅列と言わざるをえない。「国家を蘇生させる」ということは、今は瀕死であるのか、すでに死んじゃっているのか、大変な事態であるようだ。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html
