DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Constitutional Reform Bill would abolish the office of the Lord Chancellor; establish a new Supreme Court for the United Kingdom and abolish the appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords; establish a Judicial Appointments Commission for England and Wales; and introduce new arrangements for judicial discipline. During the Second Reading Debate it was decided that, because there had been no opportunity for pre legislative scrutiny, the Bill should be examined by a Select Committee rather than a Committee of the Whole House. In this report the clauses that raise issues are identified and the disagreements within the Committees are presented. Although over 400 amendments are made they do not affect the substance of the Bill, even though opinion was divided on two core issues: the abolition of the office of the Lord Chancellor and the establishment of a Supreme Court.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor years the public has become increasingly disillusioned and cynical about its governmental institutions. In the face of alarming problems-most notably the $400 billion budget deficit-the government seems deadlocked, reduced to partisan posturing and bickering, with the president and Congress blaming each other for failure. And neither party can be held accountable. The public tendency is to blame individual leaders- or politicians as a class-but an insistent and growing number of experienced statesmen and political scientists believe that much of the difficulty can be traced to the governmental structure itself, designed in the eighteenth century and essentially unchanged since then. Is that inherited constitutional system adequate to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, or has the time come for fundamental change? Should we adopt an electoral system that encourages unified control of the presidency, the Senate and the House? Lengthen terms of office? Limit congressional terms? Abolish or modify the electoral college? Introduce a mechanism for calling special elections? Permit legislators to hold executive offices? Redistribute the balance of powers within the governmental system? In this revised edition of his highly acclaimed 1986 volume, James Sundquist reviews the origins and rationale of the constitutional structure and the current debate about whether reform is needed, then raises practical questions about what changes might work best if a consensus should emerge that the national government is too prone to stalemate to meet its responsibilities. Analyzing the main proposals advanced to adapt the Constitution to current conditions, he attempts to separate the workable ideas from the unworkable, the effective from the ineffective, the possibly feasible from the wholly infeasible, and finally arrives at a set of recommendations of his own.
