«This conclusion does not presuppose a superiority of the judiciary over the legislative power. It only assumed that the power of the people was greater than both; and that if the will of the legislature declared in its statutes is contrary to that of the people declared in the Constitution, judges should be governed by the latter and not by the former. They should regulate their decisions by fundamental laws and not by those that are not fundamental. This book can be called a «strange memory.» The underlying and repetitive central themes of the book are exile and expulsion; lives (and dies) during the Third Reich; mother-daughter and fraternal relationships; generational transmission of trauma and experiences; transatlantic thinking; and the struggle for creative expression. Stories that have been mobilized and encountered throughout the narrative include: the internment of foreigners in Britain during World War II; cultural life in Rochester, New York, in the 1920s; the social and personal meanings of the colour(s). This includes Manchester industrialist and philanthropist Henry Simon, including his relationship with Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen; British Liberal activist and 1940s MP Eleanor Rathbone; Reflections on life and images of bizarres. The text is continually supplemented and interrupted by images (photographs, paintings, facsimiles), some of which serve to illustrate history, others indirectly come into contact with the written word. The book also explains how forced exile lasts for generations through a family history. It shows the differences between English and American culture. The book focuses on the incidence of cancers caused by exposure to radioactivity in England and the impact this has had on Anglo-American relations.

This book deals with two different but related professional cultures in late Soviet Russia that dealt with material objects: industrial design and decorative arts. The Russian avant-garde of the 1920s is widely regarded as Russia`s first truly original contribution to world culture. In contrast, post-war Soviet design is often dismissed as piracy and plagiarism that led to a shabby world of goods. This book identifies the second historical attempt to create a powerful alternative to capitalist commodities in the Cold War era. It offers a new perspective on the history of Soviet material culture by focusing on the notion of the «comrade object» as an agent of progressive social relations that state-sponsored Soviet design inherited from the avant-garde. It introduces a common history of household objects, both handmade and machine-made, mass-produced, and unique, utilitarian and challenging the conventional notion of utility. Situated at the intersection of intellectual history, social history and material cultural studies, this book sheds light on the complexities and contradictions of Soviet design that reflected the international trends of the late twentieth century. The book is aimed at design historians, art historians, specialists in material culture, historians of Russia and the USSR, as well as museum and gallery curators, artists and designers, and the general public interested in modern aesthetics, art and design, and/or the legacy of socialist regimes.
«The conclusion confirms that it is possible to speak of international law in the period from 700 to 1200. By examining the content of contracts and comparing them with national law and customary practice, a framework of international rules emerges that reflects the interactions and problems that arise from these interactions over centuries of practice. Peaceful relations between entities were an objective that could be pursued in different ways, and leaders often did so with well-known institutions (e.g., Arbitration, expulsion, and reparation), a plethora of legal customs and practices (e.g., amnesty, retaliation, and consent), and a combination of national and international legal instruments and diplomatic documents (e.g., treaties, laws and letters). Leaders, their supporters, and entire communities not only saw themselves connected to this «system» as it was, but they also testify to its success, no matter how small, as evidenced by its frequent and persistent use throughout the Middle Ages. By examining the specific common practice of safe behavior from a global perspective, the chapter highlights the difficulties of tracking changes in international rules across space and time, even if the details have been adapted to individual circumstances. Ultimately, the chapter emphasizes that important additional research into the history of international law, treaties, and customary practice, offering both global and chronological perspectives, is needed to determine what might be truly specific to Europe and the Middle Ages. Society members have access to a journal in one of the following ways: Our books are available by subscription or purchase for libraries and institutions. The rule of law is a principle by which all persons, institutions, and organizations are accountable to laws that: The Constitution of the United States is the fundamental law of the nation. It codifies people`s core values. The courts are responsible for interpreting the meaning of the Constitution as well as the meaning of all laws passed by Congress.
Federalist #78 goes on to explain that if a law passed by Congress conflicts with the Constitution, «the Constitution should be preferred to the Statute, the intention of the people to the intent of their agents.» Typically, access to a range of IP addresses is made possible through an institutional network.
