  • Constitutional Courts and Deliberative Democracy

    af Conrado Hübner Mendes ...
    Serier serie Oxford Constitutional Theory
    Contemporary democracies have granted an expansive amount of power to unelected judges that sit in constitutional or supreme courts.

  • Looking for Rights in All the Wrong Places

    Why State Constitutions Contain America's Positive Rights

    af Emily Zackin ...
    Serier serie Princeton Studies in American Politics
    Unlike many national constitutions, which contain explicit positive rights to such things as education, a living wage, and a healthful environment, the U.S. Bill of Rights appears to contain only a long list of prohibitions on government. American constitutional rights, we are often told, protect people only from an overbearing government, but give no explicit guarantees of governmental help. ... Læs mere

  • More Essential than Ever

    The Fourth Amendment in the Twenty First Century

    af Stephen J. Schulhofer ...
    Serier serie Inalienable Rights

  • Democratic Dialogue and the Constitution

    af Alison L Young ...
    Constitutions divide into those that provide for a constitutionally protected set of rights, where courts can strike down legislation, and those where rights are protected predominantly by parliament, where courts can interpret legislation to protect rights, but cannot strike down legislation. The UK's Human Rights Act 1998 is regarded as an example of a commonwealth model of rights protections. ... Læs mere
