Trade paperback. xiv, [2], 309, [9] p. Notes. Bibliography. Index. From the author's bio on his website: "I am a Professor of Law and Piper & Marbury Faculty Fellow at the University of Baltimore, specializing in constitutional law and American legal history. I received my B.A. from Hampshire College in 1976 and my law degree fr…om the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1979. I also studied at Middlebury College and am still proud that I graduated from the Bronx High School of Science. One of the most important lessons I learned at Hampshire College was the value of interdisciplinary work. As an undergraduate, I was an American Studies major, which meant that I was able to study history, literature, economics, and political science and see how they all fit together. At law school, I had the opportunity to study with George Haskins, a leading legal historian, as well as with Constitutional Law scholar Paul Bender. Both of them taught me that law, in its proper context, could be beautiful and exciting. As a law student, I also was fortunate to be able to work with two brilliant and caring lawyers, Will Hellerstein, then at the Legal Aid Society s Criminal Appeals Bureau in New York City, and Joel Gora, then Associate Legal Director with the American Civil Liberties Union. [Interestingly, both are now on the faculty of Brooklyn Law School]. While supervising my writing a brief seeking to overturn a murder conviction, Will showed me that constitutional rights can only be protected if we understand their history where they came from, why they were created, and why they were so valued. Joel, who supervised my internship at the ACLU, continually demonstrated how legal decisions can affect the lives of ordinary people. I have written three books, Endowed by Our Creator: The Birth of Religious Freedom in America (Yale University Press 2012); Liberty s Blueprint: How Madison and Hamilton Wrote The Federalist Papers, Defined the Constitution, and Made Democracy Safe for the World (Basic Books 2008); and Political Numeracy: Mathematical Perspectives on Our Chaotic Constitution (W.W. Norton 2002). I am also co-author, with Dan Brenner and Monroe Price, of a treatise on cable television law, Cable Television and Other Nonbroadcast Media (Thomson Reuters1990 plus annual updates). I have also written many scholarly law review articles and book chapters. My favorites include, The Irrational Supreme Court, in the Nebraska Law Review, Virtual Constitutions: The Creation of Rules for Governing Private Networks, in the Harvard Journal of Law & Technology, and The Pre-history of the Prior Restraint Doctrine: Rediscovering the Link between the First Amendment and the Separation of Powers, in the Indiana Law Review. I am married and live in Ellicott City, Maryland." Very good. Signed by author. Cover has some sticker residue. First edition. First paperback printing [stated].

Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION. Book is brand new, never read. Personally signed by the Justice directly to a "Supreme Court Historical Society" bookplate affixed to biographical page at front of book. A brilliant new approach to the Constitution and courts of the United States by Supreme Court… Justice Stephen Breyer.For Justice Breyer, the Constitution's primary role is to preserve and encourage what he calls "active liberty": citizen participation in shaping government and its laws. As this book argues, promoting active liberty requires judicial modesty and deference to Congress; it also means recognizing the changing needs and demands of the populace. Indeed, the Constitution's lasting brilliance is that its principles may be adapted to cope with unanticipated situations, and Breyer makes a powerful case against treating it as a static guide intended for a world that is dead and gone. Using contemporary examples from federalism to privacy to affirmative action, this is a vital contribution to the ongoing debate over the role and power of our courts. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. * Inscribed and SIGNED by Stephen Breyer on title page.* Stated First Edition.* Book cover like new - pages clean, bright and unmarked spine like new.* Jacket like new, light shelf wear.* Proceeds benefit Friends of the Library.* "Honest and reliable service - e…very book hand-packaged with care."This book, based on the Tanner lectures on Human Values that Justice Stephen Breyer delivered at Harvard University in November 2004, defines the term active liberty as a sharing of the nations sovereign authority with its citizens. Regarding the Constitution as a guide for the application of basic American principles to a living and changing society rather than as an arsenal of rigid legal means for binding and restricting it, Justice Breyer argues that the genius of the Constitution rests not in any static meaning it might have had in a world that is dead and gone, but in the adaptability of its great principles to cope with current problems.Giving us examples of this approach in the areas of free speech, federalism, privacy, affirmative action, statutory interpretation, and administrative law, Justice Breyer states that courts should take greater account of the Constitutions democratic nature when they interpret constitutional and statutory texts. He also insists that the people, through participation in community life, can and must develop the experience necessary to govern their own affairs. His distinctive contribution to the federalism debate is his claim that deference to congressional power can actually promote democratic participation rather than thwart it. He argues convincingly that although Congress is not perfect, it has done a better job than either the executive or judicial branches at balancing the conflicting views of citizens across the nation, especially during times of national crisis. With a fine appreciation for complexity, Breyer reminds all Americans that Congress, rather than the courts, is the place to resolve policy disputes.Active Liberty is a declaration of the first importance, made by a judge often regarded as one of the courts most brilliant members.Show less.

Trade paperback. Condition: Very good. Format is approximately 6 inches by 9.25 inches. xv, [3], 430 pages. Footnotes. Index of Cases. Index of Names. General Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Signed by the author on the title page. Randy Evan Barnett (born February 5, 1952) is an American legal scholar. He serves as the… Patrick Hotung Professor of Constitutional Law at Georgetown University, where he teaches constitutional law and contracts, and is the director of the Georgetown Center for the Constitution. After graduating from Northwestern University and Harvard Law School, he tried many felony cases as a prosecutor in the Cook County States' Attorney's Office in Chicago. A recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in Constitutional Studies and the Bradley Prize. Barnett's publications includes eleven books, more than one hundred articles and reviews, as well as numerous op-eds. His most recent book is The Original Meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment: Its Letter and Spirit (with Evan Bernick). His other books on the Constitution are An Introduction to Constitutional Law: 100 Supreme Court Cases Everyone Should Know (2019) (with Josh Blackman), Restoring the Lost Constitution: The Presumption of Liberty (2nd ed. 2013), The Structure of Liberty: Justice and the Rule of Law (2nd ed.) , Our Republican Constitution: Securing the Liberty and Sovereignty of We the People, and Constitutional Law: Cases in Context (3rd ed.) (with Josh Blackman). His books on Contracts are The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Contracts, Contracts: Cases and Doctrine (6th ed.) (with Nate Oman). The U.S. Constitution found in school textbooks and under glass in Washington is not the one enforced today by the Supreme Court. In Restoring the Lost Constitution, Randy Barnett argues that since the nation's founding, but especially since the 1930s, the courts have been cutting holes in the original Constitution and its amendments to eliminate the parts that protect liberty from the power of government. From the Commerce Clause, to the Necessary and Proper Clause, to the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, to the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Supreme Court has rendered each of these provisions toothless. In the process, the written Constitution has been lost. Barnett establishes the original meaning of these lost clauses and offers a practical way to restore them to their central role in constraining government: adopting a "presumption of liberty" to give the benefit of the doubt to citizens when laws restrict their rightful exercises of liberty. He also provides a new, realistic and philosophically rigorous theory of constitutional legitimacy that justifies both interpreting the Constitution according to its original meaning and, where that meaning is vague or open-ended, construing it so as to better protect the rights retained by the people. As clearly argued as it is insightful and provocative, Restoring the Lost Constitution forcefully disputes the conventional wisdom, posing a powerful challenge to which others must now respond. This updated edition features an afterword with further reflections on individual popular sovereignty, originalist interpretation, judicial engagement, and the gravitational force that original meaning has exerted on the Supreme Court in several recent cases. Updated Edition [stated]. First printing [stated].

Stephen Breyer is currently an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, having been appointed by U.S. President Bill Clinton in 1994. His appointment to the Court followed a full and illustrious career on the First Circuit Court of Appeals where he served as Chief Judge of the Circuit from 1990 until his Supreme Court appointment. Justice Breyer also played a significant role on the U.S. Sentencing Commission from 1985-89 that implemented the new, and often controversial, Federal Sentencing Guidelines on November 1, 1987 during his term. Considered one of the brightest justices on the court, he often votes with the "liberal" wing of the court but not always. This book deals with his judicial philosophy and his belief in judicial deference to decisions made by popular vote, that all of us are responsible for participating in that vote, and his interpretive views on the role of "active" liberty in the context of modern liberty A very important book. The photo lights make the blue lighter than it is.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition, third printing of Hayekâs classic statement on the ideals of freedom and liberty. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Hayek on the title page beneath his name. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Rare and desirable signed. Co-winner of the 1974 Nobel Prize in Economics and a prominent member of the "Austria…n School" of economic thought, F.A. Hayek went "beyond [Ludwig von] Mises in reformulating the notion of economic coordination as an information problem, competition acting essentially as a discovery process" (Blaug, 557). Hayek's main contributions as an economist have been his arguments about the benefits of free markets and the information provided by prices. These arguments lead to the conclusion that attempts to alter or control markets should be opposed because they inevitably limit individual freedom, reduce economic efficiency and lower living standards. Markets, for Hayek, were self-regulating devices that promote prosperity. Government policy and other attempts to hinder the workings of markets make us worse off economically and reduce individual liberty" (Pressman, 119). The Constitution of Liberty, written for a general audience on the occasion of the centennial of John Stuart Mill's On Liberty, provides "a positive statement of the principles of a free society" and "a thorough exposition of a social philosophy which ranges from ethics and anthropology through jurisprudence and the modern welfare state." "One of the great political works of our time, . . . the twentieth-century successor to John Stuart Mill's essay, 'On Liberty" (Henry Hazlitt). Named by Modern Library as one of top 100 books of non-fiction of the twentieth century and by The Times Literary Supplement as one of the most hundred influential books since World War II.

Den Hintergrund des Briefes bilden die unbereinigten Machtverhältnisse in den indischen Kolonien, die Fox (damals Staatssekretär des Auswärtigen in einem Koalitionskabinett aus Whigs und Tories) kurz zuvor im Parlament zu reformieren versucht hatte; allerdings hätte sein Vorschlag seiner eigenen Lobby für vier Jahre entscheidend…en Einfluss auf die East India Company verschafft. Die India Bill passierte zwar das Unterhaus, fiel aber auf massiven Druck von George III. im Oberhaus durch; der König - dem Fox nicht zuletzt wegen dessen unmoralischen Lebenswandels verhaßt war - entließ das Kabinett noch im selben Monat und machte Pitt zum Premier.
