Value and Circumstance : Justice, Consent, Equality, and Law
Four values--justice, consent, equality, and collective decision in the form of law--have profoundly shaped the practice of law in the twentieth century and beyond.Value and Circumstance revisits these political and moral ideals, uncovering the relationship between value and the moment. Each of the four key subjects is explored by returning to first principles in a way that invites reflection on the nature and functions of morality itself.The author claims that there is a deep and ongoing connection (and sometimes a dialogue) between the ideal and the everyday.As such, each of those things can be fully understood, appreciated, and pursued only in partnership with the other, even in cases when that partnership is unspoken and unacknowledged. Moreover, the book argues that sound moral comprehension is immanent in experience and engagement.We learn fully what justice calls for by doing justice; learn consent properly through practising consent; learn just when, in what manner, and in what domains to pursue equality through engaging with the prevailing equalities (both secured and unsecured) of our particular times and places; and learn what law should look like only by deciding what law is to be.In this dynamic, the moral world is steadily enlarged by our ordinary engagement with it.We construct and draw upon the realm of value, to which we are accountable for our flourishing.We cannot live well with reference to the ideal alone.

The Justice Crisis : The Cost and Value of Accessing Law
Unfulfilled legal needs are at a tipping point in many parts of the Canadian justice system and around the world.The Justice Crisis assesses what is and isn’t working in an effort to improve a fundamental right of democratic citizenship: access to civil and family justice. Meaningful access is often a question of providing pathways to resolving everyday legal issues.The availability of justice services that aren’t only tied to the courts and lawyers – such as public education on the law, alternative dispute settlement, and paralegal support – is therefore an important concern. Contributors to this wide-ranging overview of new empirical research address several key justice issues: the extent and cost of unmet legal needs; the role of public funding; connections between legal and social exclusion among vulnerable populations; the value of new legal pathways; the provision of justice services beyond the courts and lawyers; and the need for a culture change within the justice system.Their findings can inform initiatives to improve access to justice within the Canadian system and beyond.

The Social Constitution : Embedding Social Rights Through Legal Mobilization
In The Social Constitution, Whitney Taylor examines the conditions under which new constitutional rights become meaningful and institutionalized.Taylor introduces the concept of 'embedding' constitutional law to clarify how particular visions of law come to take root both socially and legally.Constitutional embedding can occur through legal mobilization, as citizens understand the law in their own way and make legal claims - or choose not to - on the basis of that understanding, and as judges decide whether and how to respond to legal claims.These interactions ultimately construct the content and strength of the constitutional order.Taylor draws on more than a year of fieldwork across Colombia and multiple sources of data, including semi-structured interviews, original surveys, legal documents, and participation observation.This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access.Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

Creating Public Value : Strategic Management in Government
A seminal figure in the field of public management, Mark H.Moore presents his summation of fifteen years of research, observation, and teaching about what public sector executives should do to improve the performance of public enterprises.Useful for both practicing public executives and those who teach them, this book explicates some of the richest of several hundred cases used at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and illuminates their broader lessons for government managers.Moore addresses four questions that have long bedeviled public administration: What should citizens and their representatives expect and demand from public executives?What sources can public managers consult to learn what is valuable for them to produce?How should public managers cope with inconsistent and fickle political mandates?How can public managers find room to innovate?Moore’s answers respond to the well-understood difficulties of managing public enterprises in modern society by recommending specific, concrete changes in the practices of individual public managers: how they envision what is valuable to produce, how they engage their political overseers, and how they deliver services and fulfill obligations to clients.Following Moore’s cases, we witness dilemmas faced by a cross-section of public managers: William Ruckelshaus and the Environmental Protection Agency; Jerome Miller and the Department of Youth Services; Miles Mahoney and the Park Plaza Redevelopment Project; David Sencer and the swine flu scare; Lee Brown and the Houston Police Department; Harry Spence and the Boston Housing Authority.Their work, together with Moore’s analysis, reveals how public managers can achieve their true goal of producing public value.

Is the commutative law valid in absolute value?
Yes, the commutative law is valid in absolute value. This means that for any two real numbers a and b, the absolute value of the sum of a and b is equal to the sum of the absolute values of a and b. In other words, |a + b| = |b + a|. This property holds true regardless of the signs of a and b, making the commutative law valid in absolute value.

Does property rights supersede the constitution?
Property rights are protected by the constitution, but they do not necessarily supersede it. The constitution provides a framework for protecting property rights, but it also balances those rights with the broader interests of society. In some cases, the government may have the authority to limit or regulate property rights in the interest of public welfare, as long as it does so within the bounds of the constitution. Therefore, while property rights are important and protected, they are not absolute and must be balanced with other constitutional principles.

Does the value of government bonds decrease when interest rates rise?
Yes, the value of government bonds does decrease when interest rates rise. This is because when interest rates rise, newly issued bonds offer higher yields, making existing bonds with lower yields less attractive to investors. As a result, the market value of existing bonds decreases in order to align with the higher yields offered by new bonds. This inverse relationship between bond prices and interest rates is a fundamental principle of bond investing.

Why is the German constitution called Basic Law and not Constitution?
The German constitution is called Basic Law (Grundgesetz) because it was initially intended to be a temporary document, serving as a provisional constitution for West Germany after World War II. The framers of the Basic Law did not want to give the impression that it was a permanent constitution, as they hoped for eventual reunification with East Germany and the creation of a new, unified constitution. However, as reunification did not occur until 1990, the Basic Law has continued to serve as the constitution for the unified Germany, despite its original temporary nature.

Private Law and the Value of Choice
Some say that private law ought to correct wrongs or to protect rights.Others say that private law ought to maximise social welfare or to minimise social cost.In this book, Emmanuel Voyiakis claims that private law ought to make our responsibilities to others depend on the opportunities we have to affect how things will go for us.Drawing on the work of HLA Hart and TM Scanlon, he argues that private law principles that require us to bear certain practical burdens in our relations with others are justified as long as those principles provide us with certain opportunities to choose what will happen to us, and having those opportunities is something we have reason to value. The book contrasts this ‘value-of-choice’ account with its wrong- and social cost-based rivals, and applies it to familiar problems of contract and tort law, including whether liability should be negligence-based or stricter; whether insurance should matter in the allocation of the burden of repair; how far private law should make allowance for persons of limited capacities; when a contract term counts as ‘unconscionable’ or ‘unfair’; and when tort law should hold a person vicariously liable for another’s mistakes.

Shaped by the Nuanced Constitution : A Critique of Common Law Constitutional Rights
There is growing judicial, academic and political interest in the concept of common law constitutional rights.Concurrently, significant public law judgments, including R (Miller) v The Prime Minister, R (Begum) v Special Immigration Appeals Commission and R (Privacy International) v Investigatory Powers Tribunal, continue to sustain and enrich the academic debate on the nature of the UK constitution. Bringing these two highly topical themes together, the book argues, firstly, that neither common law constitutionalism nor political constitutionalism adequately captures the nature of public law litigation because neither is fully able to account for the co-existence and interplay between parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law.Advancing the idea of a ‘nuanced’ constitution instead, the book then provides an in-depth analysis of common law constitutional rights, looking at their history, conceptual foundations, contemporary characteristics, coverage and resilience. In doing so, this book highlights and re-conceptualises the dynamics and mechanisms of constitutional law adjudication and provides the first comprehensive critique of common law constitutional rights jurisprudence.It is centred around extensive case law analysis which focuses predominantly on recent Supreme Court judgments.

Free Will’s Value : Criminal Justice, Pride, and Love
This book defends an event-causal theory of libertarian free will and argues that the belief in such free will plays an important, if not essential, role in supporting certain important values. In the first part of the book, the author argues that possession of libertarian free will is necessary for deserved praise and blame and reward and punishment.He contends that his version of libertarian free will – the indeterministic weightings view – is coherent and can fit with a scientific, naturalistic understanding of human nature.However, the author also notes that we don’t have sufficient evidentiary grounds to believe that human beings have this kind of free will.Despite this, he argues there are sufficiently strong value-based/axiological reasons to believe we have such free will and to live and act as if we have it.In the second part of the book, the author makes the case that the belief in such libertarian, desert-grounding free will is very important to defending human dignity in the context of criminal justice, making sense of justified pride and its value, and adding value to our relationships. Free Will’s Value will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, action theory, ethics, and the philosophy of law.

How do I know which value is the x-value and which value is the y-value?
In a coordinate pair (x, y), the x-value represents the horizontal position on the graph, while the y-value represents the vertical position. The x-value comes first in the pair and is always written before the y-value. When plotting a point on a graph, the x-value tells you how far to move horizontally, and the y-value tells you how far to move vertically.

How do you feel about people who do not value human rights?
As an AI language model, I do not have personal feelings. However, I can provide an objective perspective on this matter. People who do not value human rights are often seen as lacking empathy and understanding of the fundamental rights and dignity of all individuals. It is important to engage in constructive dialogue and education to help them understand the importance of human rights and the impact of their actions on others. It is also crucial to advocate for human rights and work towards creating a more just and equitable society for all.

Why are fundamental rights enshrined in the constitution?
Fundamental rights are enshrined in the constitution to protect the individual liberties and freedoms of citizens from government infringement. By explicitly outlining these rights in the constitution, it ensures that they are legally protected and cannot be easily taken away. This helps to uphold the rule of law, promote equality, and provide a framework for a just and democratic society. Additionally, enshrining fundamental rights in the constitution serves as a safeguard against potential abuses of power by the government.

'In which constitution did one have more rights?'
The United States Constitution provides more rights to its citizens compared to the Confederate Constitution. The U.S. Constitution includes the Bill of Rights, which guarantees fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press, as well as the right to a fair trial and protection against cruel and unusual punishment. In contrast, the Confederate Constitution did not have a similar bill of rights and instead emphasized the rights of states to maintain slavery and secede from the Union. Therefore, the U.S. Constitution provided more rights to its citizens than the Confederate Constitution.
