He or she is liable for safeguarding the distribution of services by overseeing his or her employees and recognizing and creating business prospects.

...Karl Liebknecht described the Reichstag as a “fig leaf covering the nakedness of absolutism” how far do you agree? I agree to a great extent that the Reichstag was indeed a jejune body with the Kaiser maintaining a dominating Diktat over all aspects of governance, from dissolving the Reichstag and vetoing legislation to personal control of the Army; the constitution, itself undemocratic, afforded Wilhelm the power he so loved and shared with the Prussian elites who made up the administration of the Reich. Therefore, the premise cannot be entirely true as the absolutism was not latent in nature and was infact enshrined in the constitution. However, a nascent democracy is to be argued present by the very existence of a representative body elected by universal –male- suffrage more than can be said about most of the contemporary first world nations. Firstly, I would argue as would Rohl that the power was always in the hands of the Kaiser. This Absolutism is epitomised by his controlling foreign policy and the armed forces in his own right, plus being able to appoint and dismiss chancellors, who, answerable only to himself, could be dismissed when failed to meet his demands. For instance, Von Bulow in the wake of the 1908 ‘Daily Telegraph Affair’, having failed to protect the Kaiser from his own mistakes. Yet, perhaps more significantly, he was arguably in total control of the Reichstag. This can be seen in his ability to dismiss the Reichstag to serve his political interests,...

...prisoner to help the judge determine whether the prisoner is lawfully in prison or jail or not ( Legal Dictionary). The order is usually obtained in the jurisdiction within which the prisoner is held.A writ of habeas corpus is a challenge to the legality of a prisoner’s detention and does not entail an inquiry into the prisoner’s guilt or innocence. After examining the reasons for confinement, the court that issued the writ may release the prisoner or remand the prisoner into custody. The habeas corpus concept was first expressed in The habeas corpus concept was first expressed in the Magna Charta, a constitutional document forced on King John by English landowners at Runnymede on June 15, 1215. Among the liberties declared in the Magna Charta was that "No free man shall be seized, or imprisoned, or outlawed, or exiled, or injured in any way, nor will we enter on him or send against him except by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land." The roots of habeas corpus are found in English common law dating to the fourteenth century and were made a part of England’s statutory law in 1679. American colonial courts issued the writ at common law, and state governments continued to recognize habeas rights following independence. The U.S. Constitution made no clear provision for the writ, providing only that “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus...

...On Hertzberg and the Revamp of the U.S. Constitution Since its inception, the United States Constitution has been subjected to series of amendments over different time periods. Robert A. Dahl, in his book entitled How Democratic Is the American Constitution (2001), goes beyond discussing the relatively common pattern of constitutional amendment by arguing that major changes may be necessary to rescue the Constitution from its long-standing defects. Reviewing Dahl’s work through the essay “Framed Up: What the Constitution Gets Wrong,” author Hendrik Hertzberg traces the undesirable historical and political implications of the structure and content of the Constitution. Affirming Dahl’s position, Hertzberg suggests that the U.S. Constitution is a historically imperfect document with certain loopholes in its language, provisions, and direction, which allow undemocratic structures/processes and inefficiencies in government. While Hertzberg’s direct arguments are generally persuasive, the implicit suggestions of his views regarding the flaws and less favourable implications of the U.S. Constitution provide stronger support for introducing major changes into this document. As suggested earlier, it not difficult to agree with Hertzberg’s assumptions that the U.S. Constitution needs to be overhauled. Hertzberg identifies a historical ground for justifying substantial changes to the Constitution: individual Amendments were inadequate in defining the tasks and limitations of the judiciary...

...The three branches of government that fall in with the constitution, all have important roles in which contribute for a fair and equal democracy. In Hamilton’s perspective the judiciary as he stated, was the least favored branch in the constitution. Also, the judicial review of legislation also implies that the Judicial Branch can’t do much in terms of taking away rights from individuals. Though unfortunately, it has often been complicit in letting the Legislative Branch take away those rights. In reality it is the Legislative Branch that is obtaining those certain rights. As Hamilton explains in The Federalist, the judiciary does not hold such higher powers as the other branches do. Alexander Hamilton simply positioned for the other branches to remain and be different from the judiciary. The solution he proposed to be different and that would provide a separation of the branches would be that the incumbent of the appointment and confirmation of Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States would be granted a “lifetime position” where they could not be removed as long as they maintained “good behavior”. Hamilton also recognized that the...

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Abstract Jenkins (2011) contends that Americans have increasingly turned toward the American court system as a matter of redress and protection (p. 1). Seeking justice from a dualistic entity charged with fairness, interpreting and honoring the law, ensuring retribution is granted when warranted and protection from abuses of authority and/or due process is maintained in accordance with the Constitution and federal and state statutes, the court system balance these dualistic duties and obligations to society and the government (p. 1, 2). Since September 11, 2001, however, the court’s roles and Judicial duties have become more complex. Subject to emergent laws such as the Patriot Act and the 2011 National Defense of America Act, some of which negate the rights to due process, Judicial decisions relative to charges, warrants, warrantless searches and surveillance and evidentiary admissibility have changed dramatically. Moreover, case assignment and...

...met for the Convention of 1836 to hastily draft a new constitution for the fledgling Republic of Texas. Faced with the threat of imminent Mexican attack, they incorporated large sections of the United States Constitution along with some Mexican law this constitution was put in place to survive the Mexican assault on Texas while still under Mexican control. This constitution was a compromise of the United States beliefs of freedom with Mexico’s ideals of having Texas land under its control instead of the United States’. The constitution was also a way to break away from Mexico while still technically under its government. Nine years later, Texas was able to take more care when drafting its first state constitution because of the Mexican defeat. Adopted just before annexation, the Constitution of 1845 set forth Texas law in a simple and straightforward manner. Constitutional scholars consider it to have been one of the best state constitutions in the country at the time of state constitutions being birthed. In 1861, when Texas seceded from the Union, this constitution was amended to transfer Texas statehood from the United States of America to the Confederacy. After many years and many rewrites of the Constitution, the Constitution of 1876 was created and is still in place. A convention was called in 1875 after a failed attempt in 1874. The farmers were the ones to come up with strong contributions of the constitution because they wanted strong popular control of the government...

...Cuban-American Treaty of 1903 for the use of coaling and a Naval station. Since 2002, the naval base has operated a detention camp for alleged enemy combatants captured in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other places. Legal issues surrounding the imprisonment without due process is an argument that has continued since the opening of this facility. This essay will argue why the rights afforded by the Constitution should be afforded to detainees at GITMO in terms of habeas corpus. Habeas corpus is a demand by a court to a jailer to produce the prisoner and announce the charges(Levin-Waldman, 2012). Derived from English common law, habeas corpus first appeared in the Magna Carta of 1215 and is the oldest human right in the history of English-speaking civilization. The doctrine of habeas corpus stems from the requirement that a government must either charge a person or let him go free. The Bush administration’s decision to incarcerate enemy combatants at GITMO without habeas corpus has tested the scope and commitment of this constitutional right(Schultz, 2011). This right is clearly stated in Article 1, Section 9 of the constitution that habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it. The Bush administration’s argument for denying habeas corpus stems from the Supreme Court’s ruling of the 1950 case of Johnson vs Eisentrager in which Eisentrager and 20 German war criminals were denied the writ of...
