Human Freedom - The Struggle for...

Marcus Klein

This bundle contains the following titles: 
Freedom of Speech: Freedom of speech is a cornerstone of democratic societies, integral to the exercise of individual autonomy and the pursuit of truth. At its core, it is the right to express ideas, opinions, and beliefs without fear of government reprisal or censorship. This principle is enshrined in numerous legal documents, most notably the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees "the freedom of speech, or of the press," protecting the individual’s right to speak openly in the public sphere. 
Children’s Rights: Children represent the future of our societies, yet they remain among the most vulnerable and marginalized populations worldwide. The protection of children's rights has become one of the most critical global issues in the 21st century, demanding urgent attention and action. While significant progress has been made in raising awareness of children's rights, millions of children still suffer from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and deprivation. This complex and multifaceted issue requires an in-depth understanding of the challenges children face, as well as the actions needed to safeguard their well-being.

Fort Stoddert - American...

Mike Bunn, Susie Hartman

For nearly fifteen years, Fort Stoddert stood as a tangible symbol of America’s push to assert control over a critical frontier region. Situated on the banks of the Mobile River—about thirty miles north of the city of Mobile—near what was then the border between the United States and Spanish West Florida, the fort was established in 1799 and abandoned not long after the Creek War of 1813–14. Though its existence was brief, Fort Stoddert became a focal point for numerous key developments in the early American history of southwest Alabama. It served as the administrative center for a newly acquired territory, a strategic hub for international diplomacy, a vital link in the emerging national transportation and communication network, a launching point for American settlement and expansion, and a cornerstone in the military defense strategy for the Mississippi Territory. Despite its remarkable significance, no comprehensive history of the fort has ever been written—until now. This book uses Fort Stoddert and its pivotal role in shaping the region as a lens to explore a formative era in the development and organization of one of Alabama’s earliest American-held areas.

Worse Than Nothing - The...

Erwin Chemerinsky

Why originalism is a flawed, incoherent, and dangerously ideological method of constitutional interpretation 
 
 
 
Originalism, the view that the meaning of a constitutional provision is fixed when it is adopted, was once the fringe theory of a few extremely conservative legal scholars but is now a well-accepted mode of constitutional interpretation. Three of the Supreme Court's nine justices explicitly embrace the originalist approach, as do increasing numbers of judges in the lower courts. 
 
 
  
Noted legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky gives a comprehensive analysis of the problems that make originalism unworkable as a method of constitutional interpretation. He argues that the framers themselves never intended constitutional interpretation to be inflexible and shows how it is often impossible to know what the "original intent" of any particular provision was. Perhaps worst of all, though its supporters tout it as a politically neutral and objective method, originalist interpretation tends to disappear when its results fail to conform to modern conservative ideology.
