In this book, the author relies on a separation-of-powers analysis that emphasizes the advantage of the legislature to draft precise words to fit intended situations, the judiciary's advantage of being able to do justice in an individual case, and the executive's homogeneity and flexibility, which best suits it to decisions of an ad hoc nature. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIdentifying these structural abilities, the author analyzes major public policy issues, including gun control, flag burning, abortion, civil rights, war powers, suing the President, legislative veto, the exclusionary rule, and affirmative action. Each issue is examined not from the point of view of determining the right outcome, but with the intention of identifying the branch of government most appropriate for making the decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Campbell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804747369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804747363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford Law and Politics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.42w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2005 pg. 1097","brand":"Tom Campbell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059760427263,"sku":"9780804747363","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca8e839f-cdb3-4e38-a511-2a1e8bbbd577.jpg?v=1685060171","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/separation-of-powers-in-practice-tom-campbell-9780804747363","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
