by George Blaine Baker, Essays In The History Of Canadian Law Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Essays In The History Of Canadian Law book, The essays in this volume deal with the legal history of the Province of Quebec, Upper and Lower Canada, and the Province of Canada between the British conquest of 1759 and confederation of the British North America colonies in 1867. The backbone of the modern Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec, this geographic area was unified politically for more than half of the period under consideration. As such, four of the papers are set in the geographic cradle of modern Quebec, four treat nineteenth-century Ontario, and the remaining four deal with the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes watershed as a whole. The authors come from disciplines as diverse as history, socio-legal studies, women’s studies, and law. The majority make substantial use of second-language sources in their essays, which shade into intellectual history, social and family history, regulatory history, and political history.

by Austin Allen, Origins Of The Dred Scott Case Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Origins Of The Dred Scott Case book, The Supreme Court's 1857 Dred Scott decision denied citizenship to African Americans and enabled slavery's westward expansion. It has long stood as a grievous instance of justice perverted by sectional politics. Austin Allen finds that the outcome of Dred Scott hinged not on a single issue—slavery—but on a web of assumptions, agendas, and commitments held collectively and individually by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney and his colleagues. Allen carefully tracks arguments made by Taney Court justices in more than 1,600 reported cases in the two decades prior to Dred Scott and in its immediate aftermath. By showing us the political, professional, ideological, and institutional contexts in which the Taney Court worked, Allen reveals that Dred Scott was not simply a victory for the Court's prosouthern faction. It was instead an outgrowth of Jacksonian jurisprudence, an intellectual system that charged the Court with protecting slavery, preserving both federal power and state sovereignty, promoting economic development, and securing the legal foundations of an emerging corporate order—all at the same time. Here is a wealth of new insight into the internal dynamics of the Taney Court and the origins of its most infamous decision.

by Gerald Leonard, The Invention Of Party Politics Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download The Invention Of Party Politics book, This ambitious work uncovers the constitutional foundations of that most essential institution of modern democracy, the political party. Taking on Richard Hofstadter's classic The Idea of a Party System, it rejects the standard view that Martin Van Buren and other Jacksonian politicians had the idea of a modern party system in mind when they built the original Democratic party. Grounded in an original retelling of Illinois politics of the 1820s and 1830s, the book also includes chapters that connect the state-level narrative to national history, from the birth of the Constitution to the Dred Scott case. In this reinterpretation, Jacksonian party-builders no longer anticipate twentieth-century political assumptions but draw on eighteenth-century constitutional theory to justify a party division between "the democracy" and "the aristocracy." Illinois is no longer a frontier latecomer to democratic party organization but a laboratory in which politicians use Van Buren's version of the Constitution, states' rights, and popular sovereignty to reeducate a people who had traditionally opposed party organization. The modern two-party system is no longer firmly in place by 1840. Instead, the system remains captive to the constitutional commitments on which the Democrats and Whigs founded themselves, even as the specter of sectional crisis haunts the parties' constitutional visions.

Download The Role Of Federal Courts In U S Customs International Trade Law book, This publication provides for a clear understanding of the issues, in customs, tariff, antidumping and countervailing duty laws, as well as laws providing for embargoes, quantitative restrictions on imports, and adjustments to import competition. The text begins with the historical evolution of judicial review in import law. The current functioning of the CIT (Court of International Trade) and CAFC (Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit) are examined in detail, as reflected in the legal doctrines of administrative law involved in the judicial review of government agencies. Topics addressed include jurisdiction, standing, sovereign immunity, exhaustion of administrative remedies, and preclusion of review. It also includes a discussion of the possible changes in the existing institutional framework for customs and international trade litigation, including possible expansions in the jurisdiction of the CIT.

by Liliane Blary, Myth And Ideology In American Culture Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Myth And Ideology In American Culture book, Ce volume - le premier publié par le Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches Nord-Américaines et Canadiennes de l'Université de Lille III - comprend une série d'articles sur un aspect difficile à cerner mais pourtant capital de la civilisation américaine contemporaine: le travail du mythe et de l'idéologie dans ses diverses manifestations exhaustives - que serait d'ailleurs une analyse "exhaustive" de l'idéologie? Mais il tente d'effectuer une saisie de cette question en examinant un très large éventail de textes. Dans la première partie sont interrogés successivement les poèmes de Erza Pound, Theodore Roethke, Denise Levertov, Adrienne Rich, Muriel Rukeyser; les romans de Henry James et ceux de Dashiell Hammet; la production picturale des Hyperréalistes. Dans la deuxième partie, les études s'organisent autour de la problèmatique des minorités dans la société américaine et plus particulièrement de la minorité noire. On y trouve des études sur Booker T. Washington, Jean Toomer, Claude McKay, la musique noire et le problème des quotas. Cet ensemble, varié par les domaines abordés mais très cohérent par la perspective qu'il adopte, apporte une contribution substantielle à une branche des études américaines en plein développement.
