Parliamentary Sovereignty and Popular Sovereignty in the Uk Constitution
Rivka Weill claims that in the nineteenth century the foundation of the UK constitution changed from parliamentary sovereignty to popular sovereignty, originally as a matter of constitutional convention but today as a matter of law. I argue, to the contrary, that parliamentary sovereignty as a legal principle and popular sovereignty as a political principle are perfectly compatible. Constitutional conventions are essentially political not legal r…
Parliamentary Sovereignty: Contemporary Debates
Structural Judicial Review and the Objection From Democracy
Judicial review of legislation to ensure its compatibility with vague and abstract principles of political morality is often argued to be incompatible with the democratic right of ordinary citizens to participate on equal terms in public decision making. Adrienne Stone argues that ‘structural’ judicial review, aimed at protecting constitutional structures such as federalism and the separation of powers, is just as vulnerable to this objection as …
Constitutional Interpretation: Originalism
Constitutional interpretation is problematic because it can be difficult to distinguish legitimate interpretation from illegitimate change. The distinction depends largely on what a constitution is. A constitution, like any other law, necessarily has a meaning, which pre-exists judicial interpretation: it is not a set of meaningless marks on paper. Any plausible constitutional theory must offer an account of the nature of that meaning. In doing s…

The closest approximation of such a document is the Constitution Act 1867, which was originally named the British North America Act 1867. This is a statute of the United Kingdom Parliament that created the new Dominion of Canada by uniting three of the colonies of British North America and by providing the for the admission of all the other British North American c…

Casework and community development are predominantly viewed as distinct and separate modes of work. This article presents reflections upon experiences of integrating modes of work in three settings, and particularly focusing on a small church‐based agency – UnitingCare Sunshine Mission. In a model called the community development continuum in other settings, this model integrates modes of practice of empowering casework, community building and so…

Well-Being and Value
Something can be said to be good for a particular person , whether or not it is good for anyone else, let alone good ‘overall’ or ‘good simpliciter ’. Sometimes we speak of ‘John's good’ as well as of things that are ‘good for John’. What is ‘good for John’ is whatever enhances his ‘good’ or, to use an apparently synonymous term, his ‘well-being’. But what is a person's well-being: in what does it consist
