The first will be a great and total eclipse, on Friday March 15th, at 9h. 28m. morning, but by reason of the moon's south latitude, her shadow will not touch any part of North America. The course of the general eclipse will be from southwest to north- east, from the Pacific Ocean a little west of Chili to the Arabian Gulf and southeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The termination of this grand and sublime phenomenon will probably be witnessed from the summit of some of those stupendous monuments of ancient industry and folly, the vast and lofty pyramids on the banks of the Nile in lower Egypt. The principal cities and places that will be to- tally shadowed in this eclipse, are Valparaiso, Mendoza, Cordova, Assumption, St. Salvador and Pernambuco, in South America, and Sierra Leone, Teemboo, Tombucto and Fezzan, in Africa. At each of these places the duration of total darkness will be from one to six minutes, and several of the planets and fixed stars will probably be visible. 2. The other will also be a grand and beautiful eclipse, on Satur- day, September 7th, at 5h. 35m. evening, but on account of the Mnon's low latitude, and happening so late in the afternoon, no part of it will be visible in North America.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Bill of Rights and Federalism: An Interpretation in Light of the Unwritten Constitution A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Politics School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Joseph S. Devaney Washington, D.C. 2010 The Bill of Rights and Federalism: An Interpretation in Light of the Unwritten Constitution Joseph S. Devaney, Ph.D. Director: Claes G. Ryn, Ph.D. According to conventional understanding, the primary purpose behind the framing and ratification of the Constitution was to preserve liberty through a form of government that provided for a highly structured system of federalism and separation of powers. The primary purpose behind the framing and ratification of the Bill of Rights was to allay Anti-Federalist fears that the Constitution did not sufficiently secure individual rights. For that reason, the original Constitution is frequently contrasted with the Bill of Rights. Yet distinguishing between the Constitution and the Bill of Rights obscures more about the nature of the Bill of Rights than it discloses. It is agreed that one of the primary Anti-Federalist objections to the Constitution was the absence of a bill of rights. A close examination of the debate over the absence of a bill of rights reveals that the first ten amendments to the Constitution occupy a much more complex place in the constitutional scheme than is commonly assumed. While individual rights did constitute an important theme during the ensuing debate concerning the importance of a bill of rights, they were not the only theme or even the prevailing theme.

  • Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution
    Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution ROBERT J. TAYLOR J. HI s YEAR marks tbe 200tb anniversary of tbe Massacbu- setts Constitution, the oldest written organic law still in oper- ation anywhere in the world; and, despite its 113 amendments, its basic structure is largely intact. The constitution of the Commonwealth is, of course, more tban just long-lived. It in- fluenced the efforts at constitution-making of otber states, usu- ally on their second try, and it contributed to tbe shaping of tbe United States Constitution. Tbe Massachusetts experience was important in two major respects. It was decided tbat an organic law should have tbe approval of two-tbirds of tbe state's free male inbabitants twenty-one years old and older; and tbat it sbould be drafted by a convention specially called and chosen for tbat sole purpose. To use the words of a scholar as far back as 1914, Massachusetts gave us 'the fully developed convention.'^ Some of tbe provisions of the resulting constitu- tion were original, but tbe framers borrowed heavily as well. Altbough a number of historians have written at length about this constitution, notably Prof. Samuel Eliot Morison in sev- eral essays, none bas discussed its construction in detail.^ This paper in a slightly different form was read at the annual meeting of the American Antiquarian Society on October IS, 1980.

  • Enumeration and Other Constitutional Strategies for Protecting Rights: the View from 1787/1791
    ARTICLES ENUMERATION AND OTHER CONSTITUTIONAL STRATEGIES FOR PROTECTING RIGHTS: THE VIEW FROM 1787/1791 Mark A. Graber Constitutional designers employ many strategies for securing what they believe are fundamental rights and vital interests.' Specifying in the constitutional text the rights and interests to be protected is a common device. In a constitution that relies solely on enumeration as a rights-protective strategy, whether that constitution protects abortion rights depends on whether any provision in that constitu- tion is best interpreted as granting women a right to terminate their pregnancies. Enumerating the powers government officials may ex- ercise is a second rights-protective strategy. Government may not constitutionally ban partial-birth abortions, although no constitu- tional provision properly interpreted protects a right to reproductive choice, when no constitutional provision properly interpreted au- thorizes government officials to interfere with reproductive decisions. Structuring government institutions is a third rights-protective strat- egy, one that does not rely primarily on enumeration or interpreta- tion. Government officials do not ban abortion, even when at least some reasonable persons believe constitutional provisions are best in- terpreted as permitting legislative prohibitions, when the constitu- tional rules for staffing the government and passing laws consistently provide pro-choice advocates with the power necessary to prevent hostile proposals from becoming law. Equal protection is a fourth strategy for protecting fundamental rights. Elected officials are less inclined to ban abortion when they may not constitutionally confine that prohibition to certain social classes or racial groups. Professor of Government, University of Maryland, College Park; Professor of Law, Univer- sity of Maryland School of Law.
