  • Review of the Birth of the Bill of Rights by Robert Allen Rutland
    19561 BOOK REVIEWS The Birth of the Bill of Rights. By Robert Allen Rutland. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1955. Pp. 243. $5.00. The federal Bill of Rights is one of the most cherished documents in our national hagiography. Its clauses have been invoked by contending parties in every crisis of our history. Every sort of minority interest has sought se- curity in its generous phrases. Its meaning has long been the subject of in- tense controversy among lawyers and judges. The judicial gloss upon its words and phrases has attained enormous proportions. Yet in spite of all this, surprisingly little scholarly work has been done on the history of the Bill of Rights.1 The interest of American historians in constitutional history, once so pronounced, seems to have spent itself. Such newer pastures as those of in- tellectual and business history appear to be greener. It is a long time since our historians have produced a significant new work in the field of constitu- tional history. Political scientists and legal scholars are gradually moving in to fill the vacuum.2 We have had, of course, a number of historical studies of particular aspects of civil liberties,3 but we have never had a thorough, criti- cal, substantial, scholarly study of the origins of the American Bill of Rights. In fact, Rutland's treatise, The Birth of the Bill of Rights, is, to my knowl- edge, the first book-length study by a historical scholar ever written on the subject. While Rutland should be given credit for making the attempt, his book does not by any means fill this gap in historical scholarship.

  • The Inefficiency of Splitting the Bill*
    The Economic Journal, 114 (April), 265–280. Ó Royal Economic Society 2004. Published by Blackwell Publishing, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main Street, Malden, MA 02148, USA. THE INEFFICIENCY OF SPLITTING THE BILL* Uri Gneezy, Ernan Haruvy and Hadas Yafe When agents are ascribed selfish motives, economic theory points to grave inefficiencies resulting from externalities. We study a restaurant setting in which groups of diners are faced with different ways of paying the bill. The two main manipulations are splitting the bill between the diners and having each pay individually. We find that subjects consume more when the cost is split, resulting in a substantial loss of efficiency. Diners prefer the individual pay to the inefficient split-bill method. When forced to play according to a less preferred set of rules, they minimise their individual losses by taking advantage of others. Economic theory is unambiguous in its prediction that if externalities exist, out- comes are likely to be inefficient when agents selfishly maximise. The literature on externalities, as well as its derivatives in public goods, tragedy of the commons and moral hazard studies, has shown that externalities lead to inefficient levels of production and consumption. This result depends crucially on the general assumption taken by such studies that human agents maximise selfish payoffs without regard for others. With the emergence of behavioural economics, economists have come to question whether people actually ignore costs imposed on others when reaching economic decisions. If altruism is common, the various proposals in the literature to solve externality problems may be unnecessary or even harmful.

The Politics of Women's Wrongs and the Bill of "Rights": A Bicentennial Perspective Mary E. Beckert The language of the Bill of Rights is almost entirely gender neutral and its provisions have always applied to some women.' But free white men of property designed the Bill of Rights in a political process from which they excluded most Americans and all women. Not surprisingly, the Bill of Rights served and serves the interests of such men better than the interests of others. Legal constitutional literature, whether from the right or the left, tends to be celebratory rather than critical. But in looking back on the Bill of Rights during this bicentennial year, women and many men outside the propertied white male class should be ambivalent. In this Article, I assess the Bill of Rights from the per- t Professor of Law, The University of Chicago Law School.

SB 289 would enact the Frontline Service Pay Act. The bill would establish the COVID- 19 Frontline Service Fund within the Department of Commerce.

    digitalcommons.nyls.edu Faculty Scholarship Articles & Chapters 1991 Americans' Love-Hate Relationship with the Bill of Rights Celebrating the Bicentennial of the Bill of Rights in Honor of the Centennial of the Detroit College of Law: Essay Nadine Strossen New York Law School Follow this and additional works at: http://digitalcommons.nyls.edu/fac_articles_chapters Recommended Citation 1991 Det. C.L. Rev. 1181 (1991) This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Faculty Scholarship at DigitalCommons@NYLS. It has been accepted for inclusion in Articles & Chapters by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@NYLS. AMERICANS' LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BILL OF RIGHTS Nadine Strossent Americans' attitude toward the Bill of Rights is paradoxical. On the one hand, we rank it with the American flag and apple pie as a core symbol of national identity and pride. What could be more patriotic, after all, than championing a document that is integral to our government, without which our very Constitution may not have been ratified? Moreover, Americans justifiably are proud of the important world-wide impact that the Bill of Rights recently has been exerting, as an inspiration and model for new movements toward democracy and human rights all over the globe. To celebrate the Bill of Rights' bicentennial in 1991, the Philip Morris Company has been taking one of the remaining original copies of this document on a cross-country tour, and it has attracted large and en- thusiastic audiences everywhere. Americans throughout the land thus seem eager to pay homage to what they apparently regard as a semi-sacred text.

  • The Amending Process in the Senate
    The Amending Process in the Senate Christopher M. Davis Analyst on Congress and the Legislative Process Updated September 16, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov 98-853 The Amending Process in the Senate Summary A bill is subject to amendment as soon as the Senate begins to consider it. Committee amendments are considered first; then Senators can offer amendments to any part of the bill, generally, in any order. Senators may debate each amendment without limit unless the Senate (1) agrees to a motion to table (kill) the amendment, (2) agrees to a unanimous consent request to limit debate on the amendment, or (3) invokes cloture, limiting debate on the amendment or on the bill and all amendments to it. There are several different types of amendments. A first-degree amendment proposes to change the text of the bill; a second-degree amendment proposes to change the text of a first-degree amendment that the Senate is considering. Third-degree amendments are not allowed. An amendment may propose to strike out language from a bill (or a first-degree amendment), insert new language, or replace language by striking out and inserting. In general, an amendment that proposes to replace the entire text of a bill is known as an amendment in the nature of a substitute; an amendment to replace the entire text of a first-degree amendment is known as a substitute amendment. An amendment, especially in the second degree, that makes some lesser change is known as a perfecting amendment. Depending on the kinds of amendments that Senators offer and the order in which they are recognized to offer their amendments, Senators can offer anywhere from three to 11 amendments before the Senate has to vote on any of them.
