Abstract:

Chapter 5 concerns bargains. A bargain is an exchange in which each party views what he gives as the price of what he gets. Bargain promises are the paradigm case of a promise that should be legally enforceable. The substantive reasons for enforcing bargain promises are extremely strong. To begin with, bargains between actors who act voluntarily and are capable and fully informed increase wealth by producing gains through trade, because normally each party to a bargain values what he gets more highly than what he gives. Bargain promises also present few problems of process. Such promises are t

Abstract:

This book examines the influence of race in the development of the US Constitution and argues that African Americans have had a powerful influence creating constitutional rights. It examines the debate over slavery in the Revolutionary era and at the Constitutional Convention and how antislavery advocates, black and white, created constitutional ideas that promoted equality, and their role in ending slavery, securing adoption of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, and establishing civil rights protections during Reconstruction. By 1900, southern whites had reversed most of th

Abstract:

Age of Promises explores the issue of electoral promises in twentieth century Britain—how they were made, how they were understood, and how they evolved across time. It does so through a study of general election manifestos and election addresses. The premise of the book is that a history of the act of making promises—which is central to the political process, but which has not been sufficiently analysed—illuminates the development of political communication and democratic representation. The twentieth century saw a broad shift away from politics viewed as a discursive process whereby, at elec

Abstract:

This chapter provides an explanation of the demand-rights associated with promises and agreements, presenting and defending novel accounts of both as a species of joint decision, where a joint decision as such is constituted by a joint commitment to endorse as a body a certain plan of action. Given their appeal to a particular explicit way of arriving at the joint commitment in each case, these accounts can accommodate both the kinship and distinctness of promises and agreements. Notably, the primary obligations at issue are not moral requirements but directed obligations of joint commitment,

Neuroscience research has clearly demonstrated neurological correlates of psychological disorders. We believe that neuroscience, particularly neuroimaging, has great potential to increase our understanding of these disorders, leading to more effective treatments, prevention, and perhaps even cure. Nevertheless, the popular media is replete with misinformation and exaggerated claims. The present chapter is intended to give the reader the necessary knowledge to critically evaluate neuroimaging studies of psychological disorders. We provide an overview of all the major neuroimaging techniques, ex

Abstract:

This chapter reveals some insights into act consequentialism. It begins with the claim that it would often be wrong to treat people in certain ways, such as deceiving or coercing them, or breaking our promises to them, even when such acts would make things go better. The chapter then turns to deontic and non-deontic badness. These are different kinds of badness, as is shown by cases in which such acts are not wrong, because their non-deontic badness is outweighed by the goodness of their effects. Since these acts would have this intrinsic badness, though they would not be wrong, it could not b

The chapter then considers Congressman John Crittenden's proposed compromise whereby new states formed below a line extending from Missouri's southern border to the Pacific Ocean would be admitted a

Abstract:

Chapter 5 moves to the Indian Ocean and centers on the vibrant trading community of Calcutta. The East India Company’s assumption of the diwani for Bengal in 1765 and its accelerating territorial expansion in the Indian subcontinent provoked concerns about subject status and jurisdiction over those residing in Company territories. These concerns were never fully resolved by the 1773 Regulating Act and were intimately connected to struggles over authority between the British government and the East India Company. This chapter identifies the range of individuals actually subject to the Supreme C

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter examines promises to assign or create a trust. It is possible to promise to assign a chose, rather than to assign a chose. At common law, such an agreement has no propriety implications. According to the common law, a contract operates in personam and breach of a promise to assign will give rise to the remedy of damages only. In equity, however, the effect of such a contract is very different. Equity treats a contract to do a thing as if the thing were already done and thus treats an agreement for value as if it had been performed at the time when it ought to have been performed.

Biographical scholarship provides a means by which to understand the past. Disability biography writes disabled people into historical narratives and cultural discourses, acknowledging power, action, and consequence. Disability biography also analyzes the role of ableism in shaping relationships, systems of power, and societal ideals. When written with skilled storytelling, rigorous study, nuance, and insight, disability biography enriches analyses of people living in the past. Disability biography makes clear the multiple ways by which individuals and communities labor, make kinship, persever

Rust explains how he has defended his arguments from the Holy Scriptures from all the objections raised by the Jews. In conclusion, he declares that ‘The Messiah

Abstract:

An offer vests in the offeree the power to conclude a bargain, that is, the power of acceptance. Much of the law of offer and acceptance concerns the question: What kinds of events terminate that power? One such event is lapse of the offer. Another is revocation. Normally an offeror may revoke the offer at any time before acceptance. However, often an offeror will promise to hold the offer open for a given period of time. If the offeree gives consideration for such a promise the promise is referred to as an option and is enforceable. If the offeree does not give consideration for such a promis

This commentary focuses on Article 5.2.1 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning contracts in favour of third parties. Art 5.2.1 stipulates that the parties to a contract can validly agree to benefit a third party, and that it is possible that the third party acquires a right from such an agreement. It also introduces a particular terminology for denominating the parties in the triangular relationship. There are two original parties (‘the parties’) whose agreement contains the promise of one of them (‘the promisor’) to the other (‘the promisee’) to be

Abstract:

This chapter evaluates the reconciliation process in terms of its inherent promise of social inclusion and fairness in South Africa. It first asks whether the constitutional process could be judged to have been inclusive and fair to all. Then it asks whether the TRC failed to address social justice and thereby constituted a setback to the reconciliation agenda. Finally, the chapter asks about the measure of inclusivity and fairness that have been achieved after some twenty years. The discussion concludes that inclusivity and fairness were not sacrificed at the time when reconciliation shaped t

It first considers the history and then says something about the function and definition of the doctrine before going on to discuss the rules in detail. These include the adequacy of consideration; nominal consideration; situations where it has been held that a promise or act is not acceptable as consideration; consideration must be referrable to the promise; consideration must move from the promisee (but not necessarily to the promisor); past conside
