From the Paper
"More than two centuries ago, people living in the Thirteen Colonies, the origins of the United States of America, were forced to choose between the newly independent country of America or loyalty to the old country, England. During the American Revolution, more than 50 provincial corps of loyal Americans opposed the rebellion. The Loyalist corps were raised in all thirteen colonies and fought with the British throughout the war. They lost and were driven into exile by persecution, confiscation of their properties and threats upon their lives. At the end of the war, Sir Guy Carleton, later Lord Dorchester, was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the British forces and was responsible for the evacuation of the troops and Loyalists remaining in New York City.

From the Paper
"The scope of judicial review today is almost unrecognisable compared to that of 25 years ago, and judges are more willing to intervene to ensure that the body in question acts in a procedurally correct manner, even when such a decision may impugn on the authority of the executive. For example in the case of Anisminic Ltd v Foreign Compensation Commission , where a statutory provision seemed to exclude the courts' supervisory jurisdiction, the court, according to Wade and Forsyth, acted in a way of "total disobedience to Parliament" by recognising a broad concept of jurisdiction. Further, in the Pergau Dam case, Lord Irvine argues that the court "took away from the executive a considerable degree of autonomy" in holding that the Secretary of State's decision was unlawful. He continues arguing "it is this type of judicial activism which begins to blur the boundary between appeal and review, thereby undermining the constitutional foundations on which the courts' supervisory jurisdiction rests"."

The Court was created by the Fifth (extraordinary) Congress of Peoples' Deputies of the RSFSR on 30 October, 1991. The Court comprising 15 justices had been anticipated by the amendments to the 1978 Constitution and the Law "On the RSFSR Constitutional Court" adopted on the basis of the amendments to the Constitution. The Constitutional Court commenced its activities in December 1991. At that time the Congress had selected 13 justices leaving two vacancies."

The paper traces the controversy showing both sides of the case that is reminiscent of a futuristic novel.
From the Paper
"Red Light Cameras are new additions to a range of tools, which law enforcement officers use to catch motorists who run red lights at will. They snap photos of speeders and red light runners but they are also used to check and monitor traffic on selected roadways. Although they are fast becoming a favorite of traffic safety advocates, these techniques, if not conducted within set guidelines and communicated about effectively, can prompt strong negative reactions among a small but vocal minority who see them as "big brother" techniques designed to trample citizens' rights."

Abstract
This paper attempts to prove why the Constitutional Monarchy is the best form of government. It shows how it protects the well-being of the population through its written constitution and how it adapts to the ever-changing society through its democratic system of the people having the power. It also demonstrates how it gives the people a reason to follow the government's decisions through the presence of a monarchy that inspires a sense of community and nationalism.
From the Paper
"One of the major causes for the dissolving of governments is an inability to adapt to the changes and advancements in the world around them. For example, with constant advancements in science causing a decline in religious followers, there is no way a Theocracy could survive. Plato proposed a government that was ruled by the intelligent and although this may seem flawless in theory, the reality is with an ever-changing world around them it could never work. Therefore a good government must be able to meet these changes and advancements, and work with them. A constitutional monarchy does this through following the utilitarian 'greatest good for the greatest number' (Kay 1997) ways of its democratic system. "

From the Paper
"In the last few days of September in 1787, the Confederation Congress met to debate and construct a new Constitution of the United States. The document they wrote and sent for ratification to the thirteen states that made up the newly-formed country was intended to replace the Articles of Confederation that had ordered the nation since its inception. The nation was reaching a crisis point, as the experiment had been going poorly. Surprisingly, perhaps, the problem was not one of the many possible economic problems that new nations are likely to experience when reconstructing after a long and difficult war. As Gordon Wood (1969) argues, the general economy was running well and people felt comfortable and even prosperous (p. 395). Rather, the concerns that brought the nation's leading politicians together were primarily political. "

The paper looks at the constitutions of other lands to arrive at a better idea of what revisions will serve America best. The paper concludes that American problems need uniquely American solutions.

"Proposing amendments to the United States Bill of Rights is a favorite activity of many Americans. With that in mind, the following paper will offer up ten amendments, in order of significance, aimed at bolstering individual rights. To perform this rather ardurous task, it is necessary - among other things - to speak with various individuals who are of voting age and of sound mind to gain their input into what amendments will most advance the cause of liberty and the pursuit of individual happiness. The paper will also review the constitutions of at least a handful of other nations with an eye towards determining which aspects of them, if any, may be worthy of incorporation into the revised Bill of Rights. Finally, this paper will conclude with a table that delineates each of the ten amendments and offers a brief explanation of the meaning and intent of each amendment."

Gun Control-Common Sense or Violation of Constitutional Rights?, 2005.
Explores the argument for and against gun control within the context of Constitutional rights and legal precedent.

»

Abstract
Gun control is a hotly debated topic, with compelling arguments for and against it. Made more complex by the question of Constitutional rights, this issue is analyzed and discussed in the paper.
From the Paper
"From a Constitutional standpoint, legal scholars have stated that gun control legislation does not violate the rights of Americans because no portion of the Constitution was ever intended to facilitate the breaking of the law or the harm of others. Purists of the Bill of Rights counter that the Second Amendment provides absolute rights for the bearing of arms, and any law that restricts that is an effort to take away someone's rights. In this context, one can clearly see the paradoxical nature of this heated debate."

From the Paper
"In stating the problems presented by the USA Patriot Act and in examining its background, it is necessary to review the reasons for its formulation and passage into law, for they explain why millions of Americans have been willing to cast the Constitution aside in the name of national security. This Act emerged into the national consciousness just eight days after the al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, when the Bush Administration made a legislative proposal that has become known as the USA Patriot Act. (Balkin)"
"Critics contend that the proposal was not the product of a carefully considered examination of the failures and deficiencies of the American law enforcement and intelligence agencies that allowed the attacks to succeed, but was little more than a collection of questionable old conservative agendas that were taken off the shelf and introduced by the Bush Administration in the form of vital new powers the federal government needed to protect the United States from terrorism. (Brunswick)"
