Verfassungsrecht & Staatstheorie

Over the course of his presidency, Donald Trump intimidated, silenced, and bent to his will Justice Department and FBI officials, from Attorneys General Jeff Sessions and William Barr to career public servants. He sowed public doubt in both agencies so successfully that when he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election, he paid little political cost and, despite an unprecedented array of criminal indictments, easily won the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election.In Where Tyranny Begins, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Rohde investigates the strategies Trump systematically used to turn the country's two most powerful law-enforcement agencies into his personal political weapons. Rohde also reveals how, during the Biden years, Justice Department non-partisan 1970s norms that Attorney General Merrick Garland reinforced inadvertently helped Trump, and could fail to deliver a trial and legal accountability by Election Day 2024.Where Tyranny Begins exposes how ill-suited both the DOJ and FBI are to serve as checks on abuses of presidential power. The rise of hyper-partisanship and the Trump and Biden presidencies have uncovered core flaws in American constitutional democracy that Trump would exploit in a second term. A round of historic reforms equivalent to the post-Watergate reforms that stabilized American democracy in the 1970s are immediately needed. A five-word warning coined by the English philosopher John Locke in 1689 captures the stakes in 2024: "Where-ever law ends, tyranny begins."

Die Besteuerung von Vermögen und die einmalige Abgabe von Vermögen ist Bestandteil ideologisch genährter Diskussionen im politischen und vorpolitischen Raum. Mit dieser Studie wird - am Maßstab verfassungsrechtlicher Grundsätze und verfassungsgerichtlicher Rechtsprechung - versucht, die rechtlichen Perspektiven des potentiellen Steuergegenstands "Vermögen" und entsprechend zwingende Leitplanken darzustellen. Hierfür wird sowohl die historische Entwicklung der Vermögensteuer in der Bundesrepublik als auch die rechtliche und ethische Diskurse verbindende Frage nach der "Steuergerechtigkeit" aufgeworfen. Die Arbeit verbindet (vermeintliche) Gerechtigkeitsfragen mit einem normativen Leitfaden, den uns das Grundgesetz gibt.

Il costituzionalismo è una dimensione che ha conquistato lo Stato. Quella tra Stato e costituzione è divenuta una simbiosi così potente da contagiare anche ordinamenti giuridici, come quello europeo o internazionale, che si contendono il titolo di ¿costituzionale¿. Se questa constatazione dice molto sulla portata simbolica del termine, non rispecchia tuttavia la realtà istituzionale che vede la costituzione solidamente ancorata allo Stato. Ingredienti necessari ne sono il principio democratico, la separazione dei poteri e lo stato di diritto. Non tutte le vicende storiche che hanno portato alla maturazione di questo concetto vantano tuttavia lo stesso peso. Inghilterra, Germania e Francia svettano tra le altre e sono pertanto oggetto di questa ricerca in quanto modelli. Comparazione o storia nella ricostruzione di questa epopea? In questo libro prevale la seconda nella convinzione che l¿individualità degli itinerari non possa essere adeguatamente compresa senza ripercorrerla dalle sue origini.

Max Strobel examines the European Union's enforcement strategies using the example of the Frontex Regulation and connects legal analysis with the current state of compliance research. On this basis, he formulates clear requirements for the distribution of (implementation) competences between the EU and its member states. Specifically, he addresses the question of whether the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) should be vested with executive powers and thus directly enforce EU law.
