Zusammenfassung: | Of compromises and constitutions -- What is the point of preambles (in contrast to the rest of a constitution)? -- How does a "republican form of government" differ from "democracy" (and to which should we be committed today)? -- Elections and a republican form of government -- Bicameralism -- If two opinions are good, is a third opinion (with the power to kill the decisions of the first two opinion-makers) even better? -- Presidentialism (and gubernatorialism) -- So what, precisely, does one get, as a constitutional matter, upon being elected president? -- Executive duration in office, the possibility of impeachment, and the role of the vice president -- Divided government -- How "independent" a judiciary do we really want? -- On the judiciary (and supreme court) as guardian of the constitution -- Federalism -- Amendment -- "Exigencies," "emergencies," and adherence to constitutional norms (and settlements). |
