However, each section also has established case precedence that assists in determining constitutionality. Cases that can be associated with the law are: Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942), Brandenburg v. Ohio (1968), Cohen v. California (1971), and Virginia v. Black (2003). Further, specifically regarding section (a), Cohen v. California (1971) is extremely important.

It will also help identify the rights and freedoms of citizens through a bill of rights, which operates both to protect citizens and to restrict the power of the state. A constitution whether it is written or unwritten will share a common features which is they will identify the principal institutions of the state which is the executive, legislature and the judiciary. Constitution consist of two types the written and unwritten constitution. A written constitution is one, which seen in one or more than one legal document duly enacted in the form of laws. It is precise, definite and systematic.

Besides, there are three models of due process, namely the instrumentalist approach, which is based on accuracy, the dignitaries approach, which focuses on the interest representation, and the public interest approach, which is oriented towards public accountability (Hovell, 2016). All those models, even though working for the same purpose, are different in terms of their central values, participants, and legal theories. Therefore, Devika Hovell provides an explicit analysis of each of those frameworks in order to define the most appropriate one in the United Nations context since it would enable the UNO to accelerate the implementation of the justice system

Its main purpose is to give our government a solid direction, and to describe the roles of the three branches in our government: The judicial, legislative, and executive branches. There are 3 ways the constitution has guarded us from tyranny: Equal Representation from all the States, Federalism, and the system of checks and balances. The first guard against tyranny was Equal Representation from all of the states. This means that each state will have certain amounts of senator’s. The bigger the state, the more senators.

Madison case implications was the establishment of a precedent, which is a legal decision to serve as an example in other court cases. The court is interpreted as having the power to review the acts of the congress as well as that of the president and thus can overrule the laws it finds to be unconstitutional. The bold ruling decision also established the Judiciary as an equal partner with the legislature and the Executive in completing the government system. In this regard, the constitution is the supreme law of the land and it is the Supreme Court that interprets the meaning of the constitution. It is, therefore, the duty of the judiciary to say what the law

Compare the history of how we got to our current constitution to something else and why that is so? A constitution is literally a rule book. It states many different things in it.

A constitution establishes literal legitimacy, it’s the real deal.

This is the idea that there should be more than one branch of government so that one branch doesn’t get to strong. This also allows decisions to be made easier and a way to enforce the law. In fact the Federalist Papers say, “It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices [checks and balances] should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature?” (Madison Federalist Papers) Then aligning right next to that statement is the Constitution which says, “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States...The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America...The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish” (Madison Constitution).

The legislative power, have the authority over how the force of the commonwealth shall be employed. The executive power, is in charge with enforcing the law as it applies to certain cases. The federative power consists of the right to act internationally, according to the law of nature. Locke advocated separation of powers and believed that revolution is not only a right but an obligation in certain

The current international scenario is dynamic in nature, full of interstate interactions and full of subjects (if you can call them subjects under traditional international law) that are not states. After the Peace of Westphalia —and even prior to that— the “sovereignty” of states has been the driving force of most international relations; consequently, the states were considered to be the only subjects of intentional law disregarding individuals as subjects of international law. Another major issue of international law that derives form the notion of state sovereignty is law enforcement; because there is nothing above state sovereignty, and states should be regarded as the only subjects of international law, enforcement of treaties becomes

While in Malaysia, constitutional supremacy is applied. In the English legal system, a case can be pursued in the English courts (domestic courts) as well as in the European Court of Human Rights (an international court). However in the Malaysian legal system, a case can only be pursued in the Malaysian courts (domestic courts). Conclusion In conclusion, the recommended choice of approach to ensure human rights protection for Laguna would be through the constitution. This is because human rights are entrenched in the constitution.

The Constitution outlined for the government the powers of the federal government and the powers of the state governments. These are called the enumerated and reserved powers.

Davidowitz, 312 U. S. 52
