Hardback. Are you alive? Most people believe that some law defines our status as living (or not) for all purposes.

Hardback. Americans are ruled by an unwritten constitution consisting of executive orders, signing statements, and other quasi-laws designed to reform society, Bruce Frohnen and George Carey argue.

Hardback. John Compton shows how evangelicals, not New Deal reformers, paved the way for the most important constitutional developments of the twentieth century. Their early-1800s crusade to destroy property that made immorality possible challenged founding-era legal protections of slavery, lotteries, and liquor sales and opened the door to progressivism.

Hardback. Abraham Drassinower presents a new way to balance the needs of creators and users of authored works. Disentangling copyright theory from its focus on the economic value of a work as a commodity, he views a work instead as a communicative act. Infringement, according to this perspective, is an unauthorized appropriation of another's speech. Num Pages: 283 pages. BIC Classification: LAB; LNR. Category: (G) General (US: Trade).

Hardback. The First Seminole War shaped how the United States demarcated its spatial and legal boundaries.
