    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYU\86-6\NYU607.txt unknown Seq: 1 28-NOV-11 15:06 THE LAW OF DEMOCRACY AND THE TWO LUTHER V. BORDENS: A COUNTERHISTORY ARI J. SAVITZKY* How, and how much, does the Constitution protect against political entrenchment? Judicial ineptitude in dealing with this question—on display in the modern Court’s treatment of partisan gerrymandering—has its roots in Luther v. Borden. One hun- dred and sixty years after the Luther Court refused jurisdiction over competing Rhode Island state constitutions, judicial regulation of American structural democ- racy has become commonplace. Yet getting here—by going around Luther—has deeply shaped the current Court’s doctrinal posture and left the Court in profound disagreement about its role in addressing substantive questions of democratic fair- ness. While contemporary scholars have demonstrated enormous concern for the problem of the judicial role in policing political entrenchment, Luther’s central role in shaping this modern problem has not been fully acknowledged. In particular, Justice Woodbury’s concurrence in Luther, which rooted its view of the political question doctrine in democratic theory, has been completely ignored. This Note tells Luther’s story with an eye to the road not taken. INTRODUCTION The year 2012 promises a new round of legislative redistricting and gerrymandering,1 a new round of money entering our electoral system from undisclosed sources,2 and a new round of hyperpartisan * Copyright 2011 by Ari J. Savitzky. J.D., 2011, New York University School of Law; A.B., History, 2006, Brown University.

Despite high social position and an excellent education, he shocked his upper-class associates by his conversion to the beliefs of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, then a persecuted sect. He used his inherited wealth and rank to benefit and protect his fellow believers. Despite the unpopularity of his religion, he was socially acceptable in the king's court because he was trusted by the Duke of York, later King James II.

  • The School Name
    Director of Leadership Giving Mercersburg Academy Mercersburg, Pennsylvania Mercersburg Academy is an independent coed college-preparatory boarding and day school for grades 9-12 and postgraduates. Mercersburg’s proud history and rich traditions date back to 1836, when the Academy’s predecessor, Marshall College, was founded at Mercersburg. It was chartered as Mercersburg College in 1865. In 1893, Mercersburg’s Board of Regents elected William Mann Irvine to lead the institution. Within months, Dr. Irvine renamed the school Mercersburg Academy and reorganized it as a college-preparatory school based on the Exeter model. Mercersburg rapidly grew in size and stature, gaining regional and national recognition as a top college-preparatory boarding school with strong ties to Princeton University. Through the Depression and World War II, the Academy prospered. In 1969, Mercersburg embraced coeducation, and the campus and the school’s offerings continued to grow. New building projects dominated the latter half of the 20th century with the completion of Lenfest Hall, the Academy’s 45,000-volume library, the Burgin Center for the Arts, and the Simon Student Center. During this time Mercersburg established formal exchange programs with schools in five different countries and completed two enormously successful capital campaigns. Today, Mercersburg Academy offers a dynamic academic program to a diverse and close-knit community of learners. On a magnificent campus, students learn to think for themselves as they prepare for purposeful lives in a global community. Director of Leadership Giving The Director of Leadership Giving reports to the Chief Advancement Officer and will assume a key leadership role in Mercersburg Academy’s fundraising program.

  • The Whig Party in Pennsylvania
    i^: ST' ^ILj^ZsTQ THE WHIG PARTY IN PENNSYLVANIA BY HENRY R. MUELLER, A. M. Professor of History, Muhlenberg College Sometime University Fellow in History, Columbia University SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE Faculty of Political Science Columbia University NEW YORK 1922 . • . • • • . ^4 A\ & MY MOTHER PREFACE The study was undertaken as the result of a suggestion from Professor William A. Dunning of Columbia Univer- sity. The original intention of the author was to confine the investigation to the last decade of the existence of the Whig party in Pennsylvania. As the work proceeded, it became necessary to examine portions of the early period of the party. It was soon evident that for the sake of unity and continuity the history of the Whig party in Pennsylvania should be presented from the time of its for- mation until its disappearance. The late Charles McCarthy in his excellent The Anti-Masonic Party and Miss Margue- rite G. Bartlett in The Chief Phases of Pennsylvania Politics in the Jacksonian Period have covered the period in which the Whig party was formed but not with the Whig party as the main interest. Consequently, despite the previous work in the field, the authi-r felt justified in including this mater- ial. Pennsylvania during the period of the Whig party was undergoing an extensive expansion in manufacturing and mining, which tended to draw her to the policy desired by the New England states. On the other hand, conditions similar to those existing on the frontier persisted in the mountain districts of the state until the close of the period.

    *,- 'I JAMFS %I PORTER oti rts isif th Pen1'ri% ama II istrical anrd uscu m t commission JAMES M. PORTER: A CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRAT IN THE JACKSONIAN ERA BY JEAN E. FRIEDMAN AND WILLIAM G. SHADE' IN THE midst of his ill-fated presidency, John Tyler presented to the Senate for confirmation as the secretary of war the name of James Madison Porter. As the brother of Pennsylvania's governor and a well-known state politician in his own right, Porter represented a minor gambit in the abortive attempt to construct a Tyler party that could successfully return the country to republican principles and the Virginian to the White House in 1844.' Porter functioned as a member of the cabinet for several months; but he was eventually rejected by the Senate and returned to Pennsylvania on the eve of the disaster aboard the Princeton which would un- doubtedly have taken his life. Instead he lived on for nearly two more decades as a politician, judge, and entrepreneur in Easton where as a young man he had gone to make a name for himself. Porter's moment on the national stage was brief, and those his- torians who have taken note have often confused him with his brother, or worse, created an entirely fictional character.2 The va- garies of an individual's life make generalizations difficult. Yet there are times at which the close examination of the career of a third-rate figure enables the historian to flesh out vague concepts. In many ways Porter represents a type familiar at the time; a lawyer, local politician, state judge, and federal, appointee.

  • Franklin County Hazard Mitigation Plan June 2013
    Franklin County Hazard Mitigation Plan June 2013 Certification of Review This Hazard Mitigation Plan has been reviewed by the Franklin County Emergency Management Agency. The County Emergency Management Coordinator hereby certifies the review. Date Signature Promulgation This plan is promulgated as the Franklin County Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan is designed to comply with all legal requirements and serve as a guide and starting point for mitigating risk within Franklin County. This plan supersedes all previous plans Promulgated the ___ Day of _____________ 2013 ______________________________ Commission Chairman ______________________________ Vice Chairman ______________________________ Commissioner ______________________________ Chief Clerk/Administrator ______________________________ Emergency Management Coordinator SUMMARY Franklin County, Pennsylvania officials and public servants recognize that natural and human-caused hazards pose a significant threat to varying degrees of magnitude and frequency, to the safety and economic stability of the County, its’ municipalities and its residents. Often, the potential reality of hazards within the County is not fully understood or realized until a major disaster occurs, and then significant resources are required to respond and recover from the damages. County officials also understand that responding to hazards on a post-incident basis can result in increased costs, in terms of both financial and human losses. Accordingly, Franklin County Department of Emergency Services has prepared the Franklin County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (FCMHMP) to assess the County’s vulnerability to natural and human-caused hazards, and to develop mitigation strategies that reduce the risks associated with those hazards. This plan is generally arranged and prepared using the template set forth in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) State and Local Mitigation Planning How To Guides.
