An Essay on Judicial Power and Unconstitutional Legislation by Brinton Coxe Pdf

Coxe's main argument is that the "Constitution contains express texts providing for judicial competency to decide questioned legislation to be constitutional or unconstitutional and to hold it valid or void accordingly" (4). There are four subordinate arguments: First, that the framers of the constitution specifically granted the courts the power to hold a law unconstitutional by dint of the Supremacy Clause and by Article III, Section 2 defining judicial power. Second, that documents written before the constitution were influential in framing the text and establishing the idea of judicial review. The third looks at the era before and during the confederation with an eye toward the court's power to rule on constitutionality. The fourth argument finds analogies and precedents in foreign law, including Roman and Canon law.

An Essay on Judicial Power and Unconstitutional Legislation by Brinton Coxe Pdf

Excerpt from An Essay on Judicial Power and Unconstitutional Legislation: Being a Commentary on Parts of the Constitution of the United States Subordinate to this chief purpose are four others. First of these subordinate purposes is to show that Framers of the constitution according to the extant records of their debates and proceedings at Philadelphia in 1787, ex pressly intended to provide for the said judicial competency as to such unconstitutional legislation. The second subordinate purpose is to point out and com ment upon certain texts in federal documents older than the constitution, which are historical antecedents of the constitutional texts concerned.

The Doctrine of Judicial Review by Edward S. Corwin Pdf

This book, first published in 1914, contains five historical essays. Three of them are on the concept of judicial review, which is defined as the power of a court to review and invalidate unlawful acts by the legislative and executive branches of government. One chapter addresses the historical controversy over states' rights. Another concerns the Pelatiah Webster Myth?the notion that the US Constitution was the work of a single person.In "Marbury v. Madison and the Doctrine of Judicial Review," Edward S. Corwin analyzes the legal source of the power of the Supreme Court to review acts of Congress. "We, the People" examines the rights of states in relation to secession and nullification. "The Pelatiah Webster Myth" demolishes Hannis Taylor's thesis that Webster was the "secret" author of the constitution. "The Dred Scott Decision" considers Chief Justice Taney's argument concerning Scott's title to citizenship under the Constitution. "Some Possibilities in the Way of Treaty-Making" discusses how the US Constitution relates to international treaties.Matthew J. Franck's new introduction to this centennial edition situates Corwin's career in the history of judicial review both as a concept and as a political reality.

How Many Judges Does it Take to Make a Supreme Court? by John V. Orth Pdf

Through six accessible essays, the author invites students of the law to look beyond accepted American legal practices. One learns why appellate courts always have an odd number of judges, why the power of judges depends partly on accurate court reporting and unitary, "opinions of the court," how common law rules can be unconstitutional, and many other pressing legal issues.

Understanding Unconstitutionality How a Country Lost Its Way by Arthur Peltomaa Pdf

Canadian courts routinely purport to confer temporary validity on laws which have already been adjudged unconstitutional. They do so pragmatically under guise of a self-invented power to deem the law to be what it is not. This has resulted, among other things, in the prosecution and conviction of persons under unconstitutional statutory provisions and the exaction by governments of illegal taxes.No legally coherent explanation has ever been provided for the existence of these remarkable powers. Inevitably, reliance is placed on the Supreme Court of Canada's much-celebrated - though widely misunderstood - decision in the 1985 Manitoba Language Rights case, where the court deemed an entire body of unconstitutional and invalid legislation to be temporarily valid and enforceable.Courts in other common law jurisdictions have sometimes flirted with the Canadian approach, but generally they have refused to recognize invalid law as valid. They have remained faithful to the rule of law.Canadian jurisprudence on the process and effects of constitutional invalidation is a veritable quagmire of incoherence, ambiguity, and contradiction. It is well past time to establish a principle-based order and structure in this embarrassingly muddled area of the law.

Law, Liberty, and the Rule of Law by Imer B. Flores,Kenneth E. Himma Pdf

In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in concern for the rule of law. Not only have there been a multitude of articles and books on the essence, nature, scope and limitation of the law, but citizens, elected officials, law enforcement officers and the judiciary have all been actively engaged in this debate. Thus, the concept of the rule of law is as multifaceted and contested as it’s ever been, and this book explores the essence of that concept, including its core principles, its rules, and the necessity of defining, or even redefining, the basic concept. Law, Liberty, and the Rule of Law offers timely and unique insights on numerous themes relevant to the rule of law. It discusses in detail the proper scope and limitations of adjudication and legislation, including the challenges not only of limiting legislative and executive power via judicial review but also of restraining active judicial lawmaking while simultaneously guaranteeing an independent judiciary interested in maintaining a balance of power. It also addresses the relationship not only between the rule of law, human rights and separation of powers but also the rule of law, constitutionalism and democracy.

American Constitutional Law by Donald P. Kommers,John E. Finn,Gary J. Jacobsohn Pdf

American Constitutional Law: Essays, Cases, and Comparative Notes is a unique casebook that encourages citizens and students of the Constitution to think critically about the fundamental principles and policies of the American constitutional order. In addition to its distinguished authorship, the book has two prominent features that set it apart from other books in the field: an emphasis on the social, political, and moral theory that provides meaning to constitutional law and interpretation, and a comparative perspective that situates the American experience within a world context that serves as an invaluable prism through which to illuminate the special features of our own constitutional order. While the focus of the book is entirely on American constitutional law, the book asks students to consider what, if anything, is unique in American constitutional life and what we share with other constitutional democracies. Each chapter is preceded by an introductory essay that highlights these major themes and also situates the cases in their proper historical and political contexts. This new edition offers updated and expanded treatment of a number of important and timely topics, including gerrymandering and campaign finance. Volume 1 of this text focuses on governmental structures and relationships and includes a chapter on elections and political representation.
