The state, operating through the legal and political institutions of its government, imposes law on the people who are its subjects. Over the same centuries, however, the development of international law and constitutional law has made the state itself subject to law. These systems of law for states necessarily work differently. For one thing, law for states must do without a super-state or government standing above the state, capable of creating and enforcing law. For another, the state is a unique kind of legal subject, calling for different behavioral models, moral standards, and regulatory techniques than those developed for ordinary people. It is precisely these differences that have long marked international law as a curious, and in many eyes dubious, form of law.Constitutional law, in contrast, has seldom been subject to the same doubts, or fully","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732530213207,"sku":"9780190061593","price":27.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780190061593.jpg?v=1719997295"},{"product_id":"the-decline-of-natural-law-how-american-lawyers-once-used-natural-law-and-why-they-stopped-9780197556498","title":"The Decline of Natural Law How American Lawyers","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn account of a fundamental change in American legal thought, from a conception of law as something found in nature to one in which law is entirely a human creation.Before the late 19th century, natural law played an important role in the American legal system. Lawyers routinely used it in their arguments and judges often relied upon it in their opinions. Today, by contrast, natural law plays virtually no role in the legal system. When natural law was part of a lawyer''s toolkit, lawyers thought of judges as finders of the law, but when natural law dropped out of the legal system, lawyers began thinking of judges as makers of the law instead.In The Decline of Natural Law, the eminent legal historian Stuart Banner explores the causes and consequences of this change. To do this, Banner discusses the ways in which lawyers used natural law and why the concept seemed reasonable to them. He further examines several long-term trends in legal thought that weakened the position of natural law, including the use of written constitutions, the gradual separation of the spheres of law and religion, the rapid growth of legal publishing, and the position of natural law in some of the 19th century''s most contested legal issues. And finally, he describes both the profession''s rejection of natural law in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the ways in which the legal system responded to the absence of natural law.The first book to explain how natural law once worked in the American legal system, The Decline of Natural Law offers a unique look into how and why this major shift in legal thought happened, and focuses, in particular, on the shift from the idea that law is something we find to something we make.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  Part I: Before the Transition Chapter 1: The Law of Nature Chapter 2: The Common Law  Part II: Causes of the Transition Chapter 3: The Adoption of Written Constitutions Chapter 4: The Separation of Law and Religion Chapter 5: The Explosion in Law Publishing Chapter 6: The Two-Sidedness of Natural Law  Part III: The Transition and After Chapter 7: The Decline of Natural Law and Custom Chapter 8: Substitutes for Natural Law Chapter 9: Echoes of Natural Law  Index","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732650570071,"sku":"9780197556498","price":42.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780197556498.jpg?v=1719997803"},{"product_id":"states-of-exception-in-american-history-9780226712321","title":"States of Exception in American History","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This collection of essays, edited by historians Gary Gerstle of the University of Cambridge and Joel Isaac of the University of Chicago, makes timely reading as America looks to repair its democracy from the constitutional ravages of the Trump era.

In Ottawa that day Canada's sovereignty was formalized; it gained untrammelled authority over its own constitution and it declared its subscription to human rights. Strayer was crucial to the federal government's constitutional endeavours, from policy consulting with the prime minister to reassuring parliamentarians, to preparing court cases, to organizing strategic planning and the writing of constitutional drafts. He was at the very centre of Canada's modern constitutional moment.\" John D.

The tone of the book is principally serious and scholarly, and provides a detailed and technical first-hand analysis of the development of the Charter and the Canada Act 1982.\" -- Tom O'Hara * Saskatchewan Law Review *\u003cbr\u003e\"Barry L. Strayer's book about the formation of Canada's present constitutional order, and his own role in it, joins a short and distinctive shelf of similarly erudite yet also entertaining legal memoirs.... What could easily have been an unrelievedly ponderous exposition of constitutional law and history is leavened by Strayer's disarmingly informal and witty recollections of the leading personalities in Canadian politics from the 1950s to the 1980s.... Canada's constitutional revolution has worked overwhelmingly positive changes for that country, advancing the dignity and stature of a great nation and providing a globally relevant model for protecting human rights and individual freedom. For that and other reasons, Judge Strayer can look back with pride on his life's work.\" [Full review at https:\/\/www.h-net.org\/reviews\/showrev.php?id=39911] -- Bryan H.

If a town council denies a zoning permit for a group home for intellectually disabled persons because residents don't want those kinds of people in the neighborhood, the town's decision is motivated by the public's dislike of a particular group. Constitutional law calls this rationale animus.Over the last two decades, the Supreme Court has increasingly turned to the concept of animus to explain why some instances of discrimination are unconstitutional. However, the Court's condemnation of animus fails to address some serious questions. How can animus on the part of people and institutions be uncovered? Does mere opposition to a particular group's equality claims constitute animus?

Drawing on a long history of legal thought condemning government actions targeting a particular group for disfavor, Araiza reveals a critical but often overlooked truth: that even today the Supreme Courts decisions offer real opportunities for groups seeking equality protections.\" -- Katie Eyer,Rutgers Law School\u003cbr\u003e\"Professor Araiza's fascinating new book helps to illuminate an important and under-theorized area of constitutional law.

He also ties together several Supreme Court decisions over the past few decades--especially in the area of gay rights--that have vexed many constitutional analysts. And finally, he offers a way to think about animus that will help courts address future cases where government action appears to be based on simple dislike of a group of people.
