  • Do Citizen Votes on Taxes and Laws Violate the Constitution’S Requirement of a “Republican Form of Government?”
    DO CITIZEN VOTES ON TAXES AND LAWS VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION’S REQUIREMENT OF A “REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT?” by Robert G. Natelson IP-12-2012 October 2012 727 East 16th Avenue • Denver, Colorado 80203 www.IndependenceInstitute.org • 303-279-6536 • 303-279-4176 fax EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Opponents of popular participation in government have long argued that when a state constitution or legislature permits the people to vote on revenue measures and other laws, this puts the state out of compliance with the U.S. Constitution’s Guarantee Clause: the requirement at all states have a “Republican Form of Government.” Traditionally, their argument has been that the Constitution draws a sharp distinction between a republic and a democracy, and that citizen initiatives and referenda are too democratic to be republican. Recently, a group of plaintiffs sued in federal court, challenging Colorado’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) relying on a variation of this theory. In this Issue Paper, Professor Rob Natelson, Senior Fellow in Constitutional Jurisprudence and the author of the most important scholarly article on the Guarantee Clause, sets the record straight. Marshaling evidence from Founding-Era sources and from the words of the Founders themselves, he shows that the phrase “Republican Form of Government” permits citizen lawmaking—and that, in fact, most of the governments on the Founders’ list of republics included far more citizen lawmaking than is permitted in Colorado or any other American state. He further shows that the principal purpose of the Guarantee Clause was not to restrict popular government, but to protect popular government by forestalling monarchy.

He had been a large contributor to the Board, as well as a safe adviser in its counsels. His gifts were also extended to every form of missionary and charitable work. Though very quiet in his bestowments, it has been a matter of surprise to many, even of his friends, to learn the aggregate of his gifts and the proportion thereof to his means. Mr. Carter was pre-emi- nently a man of prayer, in the closet, in the home, in the Board, and in the ecclesiastical meetings of the Church. His faith and spirit of supplication were elements of power in the Board and in every form of Christian enterprise. In accordance with the action of the last General Assembly authorizing the enlargement of the Board from fifteen to twenty-one members, the following have been chosen, and their names are submitted to the General Assembly for its ratifi- cation : Joseph R.

Republics differ from other parts of Russia with the right to establish their own official language alongside Russian and to have their own constitutions. By the way titular nationality and other ethnic groups of republics retain some traditional features in political and social life. Our research of post-Soviet experience of federal relations be- tween center and republics allows to characterize one of variants of adaptation of democratic institutes in the social environment as not enough adapted for perception the democratic administrative principles.

We studied the main tendencies of development of the Russian federalism during the post-Soviet period: institutional changes of the federal relations between the center and republics of the Russian Federation, the administrative-territo- rial changes connected with integration of regions, and also development of the budgetary federalism. During the post-Soviet period there was transit from “parade of sovereignties” to “treaty model” federation, and then the constitu- tional federation with accurate institutional structure and vertical budgetary federalism.

  • The Federalist Papers (1787-88)
    The Federalist Papers (1787-88) Alexander Hamilton, James Madison & John Jay FEDERALIST 1 Introduction by Alexander Hamilton AFTER an unequivocal experience of the inefficiency of the subsisting federal government, you are called upon to deliberate on a new Constitution for the United States of America. The subject speaks its own importance; comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence of the UNION, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in the world. It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force. If there be any truth in the remark, the crisis at which we are arrived may with propriety be regarded as the era in which that decision is to be made; and a wrong election of the part we shall act may, in this view, deserve to be considered as the general misfortune of mankind. This idea will add the inducements of philanthropy to those of patriotism, to heighten the solicitude which all considerate and good men must feel for the event. Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good.

    Ancient Civilizations from Scythia to Siberia 24 (2018) 467-532 brill.com/acss The Patrimonial Project of Dzhankent Constructing a National Symbol in the longue durée Irina Arzhantseva* Institute of Ethnography and Anthropology, Russian Academy of Sciences [email protected] Svetlana Gorshenina** Collège de France, Chaire d’Histoire et cultures de l’Asie centrale préislamique [email protected] Abstract The archaeological site of Dzhankent, in addition to its geographical position and the wealth of finds from there, occupies a special place for several other reasons, too. It was the first site in Central Asia to be excavated (1740-1741) and photographed (1858), and it has recently become one of the national symbols of independent Kazakhstan (since 1991). Over the period of more than 270 years during which it has been stud- ied, Dzhankent has been approached by generations of explorers, excavators and researchers from different theoretical positions and with different aims which have corresponded more or less to political or geopolitical programmes. The aim of this contribution is, on the one hand, to show how the various actors who worked at this site related to one another and to the various types of power (local, Tsarist, Soviet), and on the other hand, to analyze the changes in the theoretical approaches of these actors. At the same time, it is important to trace the transformation of Dzhankent, in its pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial contexts, into a memorial supposedly linked to imperial or national identities which, in turn, had been forged around a con- structed past. * Leninsky Prospekt 32A, 119991, Moscow.

    377 Ai 8/</ S46. PO<fcL UNITED STATES LEND-LEASE POLICY IN LATIN AMERICA DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Thomas D. Yeilding, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas August, 198 3 C"/<- Yeilding, Thomas D., United States Lend-Lease Policy in Latin America. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 1983, 308 pp., Appendix, bibliography, 216 titles. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles began trying to make military materiel available to Latin America during the latter 1930s. Little progress was made until passage of the Lend-Lease Act in 1941 enabled Washington to furnish eighteen Latin American nations with about $493,000,000 worth of military assistance during World War II. This study, based primarily on State Department lend- lease decimal files in the National Archives and documents published in Foreign Relations volumes, views the policy's background, development, and implementation in each recipient nation. The conclusion is that the policy produced mixed results for the United States and Latin America. Even so, the president's course was realistically grounded on national interests. Mixed results were evident in the president's not being straightforward with his fellow-countrymen in explaining his major justification for the policy, the Nazi threat to the hemisphere. He exaggerated the menace to maneuver the United States into aiding the allies fighting Hitler. Additionally, he warmly embraced dictators in the hemisphere while the Allied powers fought totalitarian governments abroad. In Latin America, the supply of armaments inflamed jealousies among suspicious neighbors and encouraged military officials to meddle in politics.
