Montesquieu's Judicial Legacy in America -- Conclusion. The Cloaking of Power and the Perpetuation of Constitutionalism -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexHow did the US judiciary become so powerful-powerful enough that state and federal judges once vied to decide a presidential election? What does this prominence mean for the law, constitutionalism, and liberal democracy? In The Cloaking of Power, Paul O. Carrese provides a provocative analysis of the intellectual sources of today's powerful judiciary, arguing that Montesquieu, in his Spirit of the Laws, first articulated a new conception of the separation of powers and strong but subtle courts. Montesquieu instructed statesmen to "cloak power" by placing judges at the center of politics, while concealing them behind juries and subtle reforms. Tracing this conception through Blackstone, Hamilton, and Tocqueville, Carrese shows how it led to the prominence of judges, courts, and lawyers in America today. But he places the blame for contemporary judicial activism squarely at the feet of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. and his jurisprudential revolution, which he believes to be the source of the now-prevalent view that judging is merely political. To address this crisis, Carrese argues for a rediscovery of an independent judiciary-one that blends prudence and natural law with common law and that observes the moderate jurisprudence of Montesquieu and Blackstone, balancing abstract principles with realistic views of human nature and institutions. He also advocates for a return to the complex constitutionalism of the American founders and Tocqueville and for judges who understand their responsibility to elevate citizens above individualism, instructing them in law and right.Judicial processPolitical aspectsHistoryPolitical questions and judicial powerHistoryJudicial powerHistoryLiberalismHistoryJurisprudenceHistoryjudicial activism, blackstone, montesquieu, law, legal system, political science, power, authority, judiciary, constitutionalism, democracy, spirit of the laws, separation powers, courts, juries, reform, tocqueville, hamilton, oliver wendell holmes jr, individualism, liberalism, nonfiction, lord mansfield, sovereignty, reason, history, due process, jurisprudence.Judicial processPolitical aspectsHistory.Political questions and judicial powerHistory.Judicial powerHistory.LiberalismHistory.JurisprudenceHistory.340/.11Carrese Paul760669MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780995803321The cloaking of power3737755UNINA05056nam 2200577 a 450 991082008780332120210210010414.01-59327-363-0(CKB)2670000000121295(EBL)1137518(OCoLC)830164501(MiAaPQ)EBC1137518(MiAaPQ)EBC6095932(Au-PeEL)EBL6095932(OCoLC)1156125491(CaSebORM)9781593272869(PPN)160369355(EXLCZ)99267000000012129520110413d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe book of CSS3[electronic resource] a developer's guide to the future of web design /by Peter Gasston1st editionSan Francisco No Starch Press20111 online resource (308 p.)Includes index.1-59327-286-3 Foreword; Preface; Introduction; The Scope of This Book; A Quick Note About Browsers and Platforms; The Appendices and Further Resources; 1: Introducing CSS3; What CSS3 Is and How It Came to Be; A Brief History of CSS3; CSS3 Is Modular; Module Status and the Recommendation Process; CSS3 Is Not HTML5; Let's Get Started: Introducing the Syntax; Browser-Specific Prefixes; Future-Proofing Experimental CSS; Getting Started; 2: Media Queries; The Advantages of Media Queries; Syntax; Media Features; Width and Height; Device Width and Height; Using Media Queries in the Real World; OrientationAspect RatioPixel Ratio; Multiple Media Features; Mozilla-Specific Media Features; Summary; Media Queries: Browser Support; 3: Selectors; Attribute Selectors; New Attribute Selectors in CSS3; Beginning Substring Attribute Value Selector; Ending Substring Attribute Value Selector; Arbitrary Substring Attribute Value Selector; Multiple Attribute Selectors; The General Sibling Combinator; Summary; Selectors: Browser Support; 4: Pseudo-classes and Pseudo-elements; Structural Pseudo-classes; The nth-* Pseudo-classes; first-of-type, last-child, and last-of-type; only-child and only-of-typeOther Pseudo-classestarget; empty; root; not; UI Element States; Pseudo-elements; The selection pseudo-element; Summary; DOM and Attribute Selectors: Browser Support; 5: Web Fonts; The @font-face Rule; Defining Different Faces; True vs. Artificial Font Faces; A "Bulletproof" @font-face Syntax; Using Local Fonts; Font Formats; The Final "Bulletproof" Syntax; The Fontspring Bulletproof Syntax; Licensing Fonts for Web Use; A Real-World Web Fonts Example; More Font Properties; font-size-adjust; font-stretch; OpenType Features; Summary; Web Fonts: Browser Support6: Text Effects and Typographic StylesUnderstanding Axes and Coordinates; Applying Dimensional Effects: text-shadow; Multiple Shadows; Letterpress Effect; Adding Definition to Text: text-outline and text-stroke; More Text Properties; Restricting Overflow; Resizing Elements; Aligning Text; Wrapping Text; Setting Text Rendering Options; Applying Punctuation Properties; Summary; Text Effects: Browser Support; 7: Multiple Columns; Column Layout Methods; Prescriptive Columns: column-count; Dynamic Columns: column-width; A Note on Readability; Different Distribution Methods in Firefox and WebKitCombining column-count and column-widthColumn Gaps and Rules; Containing Elements within Columns; Elements Spanning Multiple Columns; Elements Breaking over Multiple Columns; Summary; Multiple Columns: Browser Support; 8: Background Images and Other Decorative Properties; Background Images; Multiple Background Images; Background Size; Background Clip and Origin; background-repeat; Background Image Clipping; Image Masks; Summary; Background Images: Browser Support; 9: Border and Box Effects; Giving Your Borders Rounded Corners; border-radius ShorthandDifferences in Implementation Across BrowsersCSS3 is the latest revision of cascading style sheets, the language used to define the look and formatting of web documents.
