Il significato dei principi del processo nella Cost.
Il significato dei principi del processo nella Cost. Non esistono caratteri immutabili e universalmente validi del processo il quale è attualmente retto dai seguenti principi: ) nessuno può essere giudice se non è sufficientemente distaccato dall'affare che deve trattare 2) non è possibile che il giudice inizi egli stesso il processo 3) deve essere sufficientemente garantita alle parti la possibilità di difendersi 4) il giudice nel risolvere la controversia non si rifà a canoni di valutazione arbitrari ma si riferisce a canoni di valutazione precostituiti A questa configurazione del processo si è pervenuti attraverso una lenta evoluzione storica che ha elevato a rango costituzionale i principi che lo reggono per cui nel caso in cui le leggi processuali ordinarie siano contrarie a tali principi esse possono essere denunciate alla Corte Cost. Come è noto nel nostro ordinamento non è possibile una denuncia diretta da parte dei cittadini essendo necessaria la valutazione di non manifesta infondatezza della questione da parte del giudice del processo presso il quale la questione sia stata sollevata. I principi fondamentali sono complessi e tra loro interdipendenti, ad es. il divieto del giudice di iniziare il processo d'ufficio è il riflesso dell'esigenza di garantire la sua posizione neutrale la quale a sua volta presuppone che il giudice sia pienamente
Annotations for Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand
Hannah Heeter Annotations for Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand Part 1; Preface; (pg. xvii-xix) Summary- The Preface describes just how famous Seabiscuit was back around 1938. Our generation has grown up in an age where horse races are not famous, but rather football and baseball games, rock stars, and political figures are. Seabiscuit had trains that were “Seabiscuit Limited” and there was even Seabiscuit revenue that sold like crazy. Seabiscuit, for my generation, could be comparable to the Big Ben of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Red Pollard, Tom Smith, and Charles Howard formed a team that carried Seabiscuit to the top. Vocabulary- Adulation- verb; To show excessive admiration or devotion to (pg. xvii) Throngs- noun; A large group of people gathered or crowded closely together; a multitude (pg. xviii) ________________ Chapter 1; The Day of the Horse is Past; (pg.3-20) Summary- Chapter 1 introduces a main character, Charles Howard. He moves to San Francisco, California, with barely any money, and starts a bike repair shop. In San Francisco, the “horse-less” carriage arose which many were afraid of. Howard saw opportunity. He created an automobile repair shop. He then traveled to Detroit and met with the Will Durant, chief of Buick Automobiles, whom then hired Howard. On April 18, 1906, there was an earthquake in San Francisco. The
Property and Sovereignty.
PROPERTY 1 LENT TERM 2004 Property and Sovereignty A. THE EMERGENCE OF NATIVE TITLE Themes and Questions These lectures, and the accompanying seminars, focus on the question of indigenous title. In the common law world, claims to indigenous title have become especially prominent in North America and Australia, where Aboriginal peoples, or the `First Nations', have sought ownership of their ancestral lands. Substantively, these claims might be construed as demands for some measure of sovereignty or self-determination, but they take the form of claims to the ownership of land. As a result, the private law structure of rights in land has been exposed to a number of political questions about the justification of sovereign acquisition, and a set of theoretical questions about the nature of property. From our perspective, claims to indigenous title are to the point precisely because they expose a number of the hidden assumptions which structure commonsense ideas about ownership as much as developed doctrines of property law. We approach the question of indigenous title by reflecting on the form of 'native title' which was recognised by the High Court of Australia in Queensland v Mabo (No2) (1992). We set this contemporary discussion in relation to the conception of property that was developed by John Locke some three hundred years ago, and which is still the most influential
Sovereignty, opinion and revolution in Edmund Burke.
History of European Ideas 25 (1999) 99}120 Sovereignty, opinion and revolution in Edmund Burke Richard Bourke* Department of English, Queen Mary and Westxeld College, Mile End Road, London E1 4NS, UK . Introduction Edmund Burke's involvement in the politics of empire during the mid-1760s obliged him to confront the practical signi"cance of the doctrine of sovereignty at the very outset of his parliamentary career. This confrontation was to recur throughout his published writings over the next 30 years. It took the form of a sustained attempt to elucidate the relationship between liberty and authority both in Britain and between it and the extended empire [1]. The defence of liberty as it appears in Burke's commentaries on the American crisis, on Ireland and on the Indian sub-continent had been a defence of moderate government. There was a connection in his mind between moderation in government and the security of property in modern states, but ultimately moderation implied a kind of commerce and compatibility between the designs of rulers and the aspirations of the ruled. It had always, however, been part of Burke's case that moderate government had to be founded on an absolute and uni"ed sovereignty. As he put it in 1765, the &unlimited Nature of the supreme legislative authority' was &very clear and very undeniable' [2]. Supremacy implied that ultimate
Many peoples have contributed to the development of the United States of America, a vast nation that arose from a scattering of British colonial outposts
United States, history of the Many peoples have contributed to the development of the United States of America, a vast nation that arose from a scattering of British colonial outposts in the New World. The first humans to inhabit the North American continent were migrants from northeast Asia who established settlements in North America as early as 8000 BC and possibly much earlier (see NORTH AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY). By about AD 1500 the native peoples of the areas north of the Rio Grande had developed a variety of different cultures (see INDIANS, AMERICAN). The vast region stretching eastward from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean was relatively sparsely populated by tribes whose economies were generally based on hunting and gathering, fishing, and farming. VIKINGS explored the North American mainland in the 10th and 11th centuries and settled there briefly (see VINLAND). Of more lasting importance, however, was the first voyage (1492-93) of Christopher COLUMBUS, which inaugurated an age of great European EXPLORATION of the Western Hemisphere. Various European states (including Spain, France, England, the Netherlands, and Portugal) and their trading companies sent out expeditions to explore the New World during the century and a half that followed. The Spanish claimed vast areas, including Florida, Mexico, and the region west of the Mississippi River, although they

This graduation paper is about U.S. - Soviet relations in Cold War period. Our purpose is to find out the causes of this war, positions of the countries which took part in it. We also will discuss the main Cold War's events. The Cold War was characterized by mutual distrust, suspicion and misunderstanding by both the United States and Soviet Union, and their allies. At times, these conditions increased the likelihood of the third world war. The United States accused the USSR of seeking to expand Communism throughout the world. The Soviets, meanwhile, charged the United States with practicing imperialism and with attempting to stop revolutionary activity in other countries. Each block's vision of the world contributed to East-West tension. The United States wanted a

El debate que está en boca de los principales especialistas en todo el mundo consiste en demostrar si es posible que el capitalismo, a pesar de sus crisis, pueda seguir existiendo eternamente, o, lo que es lo mismo, que la economía capitalista tiende siempre a encontrar su equilibrio. ¿Cómo explicar las crisis? En la resolución de esta tarea, Marx trató de dar una explicación científica de los dos problemas que los
ANALYSIS OF PAINT MARKET IN AHMEDABAD WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON DECORATIVE PAINTS
