Schorr, Prof. David

The Colorado Doctrine: Water Rights, Corporations, and Distributive Justice on the American Frontier (Yale Law Library Series in Legal History and Reference).

New Haven : Yale University Press, 2012. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 256 pp.- Making extensive use of archival and other primary sources, David Schorr demonstrates that the development of the appropriation doctrine, a system of private rights in water, was part of a radical attack on monopoly and corporate power in the arid West. Schorr describes how Colorado miners, irrigators, lawmakers, and judges forged a system of private property in water based on a desire to spread property and its benefits as widely as possible among independent citizens. He demonstrates that ownership was not dictated by concerns for economic efficiency, but by a regard for social justice. Condition : as new. English text. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk.

Schweber, Howard H.

The creation of American common law, 1850-1880 : technology, politics, and the construction of citizenship.

Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2004. Hardcover. Dustjacket. viii,296 pp. Book may have a remainder mark. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : very good. Contents : Introduction -- North and South -- Illinois: We were determined to have a rail-road -- The memory of man runneth not to the contrary: cases involving damage to property -- Intelligent beings: cases involving injuries to persons -- The North: Ohio, Vermont, and New York -- Virginia in the 1850s: the last days of planter rule -- The common law of antebellum Virginia: the preservation of status -- Virginia's version of American common law: old wine in new bottles -- The South: Georgia, North Carolina, and Kentucky -- Legal change and social order. This book is a comparative study of the American legal development in the mid-nineteenth century. Focusing on Illinois and Virginia, supported by observations from six additional states, the book traces the crucial formative moment in the development of an American system of common law in northern and southern courts. The process of legal development, and the form the basic analytical categories of American law came to have, are explained as the products of different responses to the challenge of new industrial technologies, particularly railroads. The nature of those responses was dictated by the ideologies that accompanied the social, political, and economic orders of the two regions. American common law, ultimately, is found to express an emerging model of citizenship, appropriate to modern conditions. As a result, the process of legal development provides an illuminating perspective on the character of American political thought in a formative period of the nation. ISBN 9780521824620.

Slonim, Shlomo.

Framers' construction/Beardian deconstruction : essays on the constitutional design of 1787.

New York : Peter Lang, c2001. Hardcover. xii, 295 pp. 24 cm. (Major concepts in politics and political theory, 18). Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - Was the constitutional design of 1787 prompted by the desire of the Founding Fathers to protect their economic interests, as alleged by Charles Beard in his pathbreaking study in 1913, or was it perhaps attributable to the Framers’ determination to overcome democratic turbulence in the states, as posited by the currently academically fashionable neo-Beardian school of historical interpretation? Neither thesis, Professor Slonim demonstrates, accords with the documentary record of the Constitutional Convention. Rather, the tension between the overarching need to create an effective national government and the desire to preserve state autonomy shaped the final result at Philadelphia. What emerged was a strong central government within a federal framework. Also analyzed in this volume are several neglected provisions and features of the 1787 constitutional design and their present-day implications. ISBN 9780820448916.
