They have challenged a number of assumptions in the field, for example, that courts must have the power to invalidate laws that are found to violate rights (i.e. courts can now be given non-binding powers), that courts must have the 'final word' on rights issues (i.e. legislatures can now be given the power to override judicial decisions) and that bills of rights are enforced exclusively by courts (i.e. legislators can now be given new responsibilities to ensure that the laws they enact are compatible with rights). This book addresses three questions arising from these developments. How do these new bills of rights differ from the traditional approaches to rights protection? Why, if at all, should we consider the Commonwealth's approach over the traditional approaches? What compromises must be struck in the course of adopting a bill of rights of this variety? In answering these questions, the book sets out a new framework for comparison that focuses on the types of inter-institutional disagreement facilitated by and found in the different approaches to rights protection. It also identifies a previously unrecognised element of the Commonwealth's approach - the normative trade-offs with other constitutional principles and values - that is pivotal to understanding its operation. Finally, it seeks to contribute to future debates about rights reform in Australia and elsewhere by setting out a number of lessons that emerge from the answers to these three questions."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Civil rights $z Australia. 650 0 $a Civil rights $z Canada. 650 0 $a Civil rights $z New Zealand. 650 0 $a Civil rights $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z Australia. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z Canada. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z New Zealand. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Comparative law. 650 7 $a Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862627 650 7 $a Comparative law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00871350 650 7 $a Constitutional law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875797 651 7 $a Australia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204543 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 $a New Zealand. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204542 653 $a Australian 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180120015120.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=081576F2FDB011E7BCC604F996128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
