Cry The Beloved Country

"Cry, The Beloved Country" are very emotional
words. This happens to be the title of one of Alan
Paton's most famous novels about turmoil in South
Africa. The question of why he chose this title
for his novel can be answered in several ways.
Perhaps its because of the racial segregation in
South Africa. Some could argue it is because of
economic segregation in South Africa. Or perhaps
it could be the chaos inside the South African
families which persuaded Paton to name this novel
what he did. In...

Power Of Judicial Review Federal Court
673 words
The Constitution does not expressly provide for
judicial review. What should be made of this fact?

power of judicial review was sufficiently clear
from the structure of government that it need not
be expressly stated. A third possibility is that
the framers didn't think that the issue would ever
