During war however, national legislatures tend to enact laws that restrict this basic right. Under what circumstances can such laws be democratically legitimate? Avichai Levit argues that the degree of democratic legitimacy of laws that restrict freedom of speech during war, depends on the extent of legislature deliberation on such laws. The more law makers in both chambers of the legislature, seriously consider information and arguments, reason on the common good, and seek to persuade and decide the best legislative outcome, in committees and on the floor, the more democratic legitimacy can be associated with such laws. This book fills a gap in the scholarly literature regarding the evaluation of the democratic legitimacy of laws restricting freedom of speech during war, by bridging different theoretical perceptions and presenting an alternative normative account of deliberative democracy which focuses on the deliberations of a national legislature. Using the United States as a case study, this book goes into the details of Congressional deliberation during World War I, World War II and the Cold War, as well as the political histories that brought about such laws. Legislative Deliberative Democracy will be of interest to academics and students alike in the fields of American Constitutional law, Political theory, American politics and political history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $t Constitution. $n 1st Amendment. 610 10 $a United States. $b Congress $x History. 610 17 $a United States. $b Congress. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529490 630 07 $a Constitution (United States) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356075 650 0 $a Freedom of speech $z United States. 650 0 $a Freedom of the press $z United States. 650 0 $a War and emergency powers $z United States. 650 0 $a Deliberative democracy $z United States. 650 0 $a Legitimacy of governments $z United States. 650 7 $a Deliberative democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744432 650 7 $a Freedom of speech. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934044 650 7 $a Freedom of the press. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934063 650 7 $a Legitimacy of governments. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995908 650 7 $a War and emergency powers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170437 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Levit, Avichai. $t Legislative deliberative democracy $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2021 $z 9781003100560 $w (DLC) 2020026553 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020021200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0F19D01471B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
