• From Gibbons v.

  Can a trading expedition between two adjoining States, commence and terminate outside of each? And if the trading intercourse be between two States remote fromeach other, must it not commence in one, terminate in the other, and probably pass through a third? We are now arrived at the inquiry—What is this power? It is the power to regulate, that is, to prescribe the rule by which commerce is to be governed. This power, like all others vested in Congress, is complete in itself, maybe exercised to...

• Boucher's Diana resting after her Bath, not a mythological painting !!!

  size. Mythological paintings were often painted on large canvases to symbolize the divinity and importance of the immortals depicted. The Rococo Movement is characterized by small canvases that were made to fit on wooden panels of smaller apartments, and “Diana Resting After Her Bath”, which measures 57 × 73 cm (22.4 × 28.7 in), would thus refer more to the characteristic of a genre painting than a mythological one. Furthermore, Diana is more sensual than a huntress, as she is nude....

The gradual expansion of markets and the ever growing production of agricultural products led to innovation of new technologies, resulting in an increase in farm production.

  with the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The charter specifically notes the need to balance the rights of individuals against the needs of the community, and Canadian laws that impinge on civil liberties arejustified on this ground. The American constitution has no such clause. This leads American courts to interpret individual rights more absolutely and give less protectionto the needs of groups or society at large. For example, Americans have a greater right to express racist...

The way to start was by a close examination of the language ordinarily used for discussingaction; a sub-area of this vocabulary is that which is concerned with the defects that actions may exhibit; theymay, for example, be unintended, mistakes, inadvertences, involuntary or clumsy. As a deliberate illustration of hisgeneral ideas, he set out to examine some...

• Magna Carta I INTRODUCTION Magna Carta (Latin, "Great Charter"), document sealed by King John of England on June 15, 1215, in which he made a series of promises to his subjects that he would govern England and deal with his vassals according to the customs of feudal law (see Feudalism).

  The importance of the Magna Carta lies more in its symbolism than in its words. As a result, many modern rights have been based on the Magna Carta that wereunknown in the 13th century, including habeas corpus and the principle of no taxation without representation. Neither of these concepts existed in the original Magna Carta of 1215 but both became accepted as English law during the early 17th century. At that time, members of Parliament, the English legislative assembly, who opposed the rule...
