Chapter 2 places current debates about contraception policy in a broader historical context. By examining Margaret Sanger’s and Katherine McCormick’s advocacy, John Rock’s and Gregory Pincus’s development of hormonal birth control, and the Supreme Court’s assertion of a constitutional right to privacy, this chapter highlights the ways in which legal regulation of reproduction is rooted in more fundamental struggles over whose expertise is valued and whose voice is heard. More generally, the analysis presented in this chapter illustrates that religion, economics, race, and women’s autonomy have informed public discourse surrounding reproductive issues since the earliest days of America’s long national conversation about birth control. In short, this chapter lays the foundation that animates the rest of the book: Who speaks? What do they say? Does it matter?

Today, in most countries, the equal legal status of women and men, as well as the equal opportunity to execute it in society, that is, gender equality, has long been a commonplace in public discourse and politics. In Ukraine, equality between men and women is declared at the constitutional level, which testifies to the approach of the Ukrainian state and civil society to the European and world level of solving gender problems. The execution of the legal regulation of the state gender policy in Ukraine is considered by the normative legal acts of two levels: supranational and national and the results of their implementation. The actual problem of not only creating a sufficient regulatory and legal field, but also its compliance is analyzed. Moreover, attention is paid to the facts of violation and neglect of the current legislation, which in turn leads to the preservation of gender inequality in Ukrainian society, where most property, power and general influence belong to men. There is a need to develop a new paradigm of state power, which should envisage the optimal use of human resources, in particular its female component and, ultimately, the achievement of gender equality as an important part of the development strategy, which is intended to enable all men and women to improve their living standards. It is argued that the relevance of gender equality in the contemporary historical context will be maintained in the short term. This is due to the fact that the problems of gender inequality, and therefore of socio-economic and political discrimination against women, cannot be solved solely by state reforms, since a system of rules that forbid any deterioration of women's rights is unlikely to operate without an effective system for monitoring of norms implementation.

The Right

The right to the confidentiality of listening, telephone conversation, telegraph and other correspondence of separate categories ofpersons is researched in the article. It is establishes that despite all legal guarantees, the right to the confidentiality of correspondenceis provided differently for separate categories of persons. The least secure of this right are those sentenced to imprisonment, and peop -le’s deputies, lawyers and other persons in respect of which a special procedure of criminal proceedings is carried out have the highestimmunity from illegal or arbitrary interference with the right to confidentiality of correspondence. Two scientific concepts of understandingthe right to the confidentiality of correspondence are characterized. The so-called “personal” concept, which considers thisright as a component of the right to privacy and family life, and the second concept justifies the independence of this right, the contentand purpose of which is broader than the protection of privacy. The perception of the right to confidentiality of correspondence in thecontext of the right to private and family life is common. It is substantiated that the “personal” concept is characterized by the connectionbetween the right to confidentiality of correspondence and the right to private and family life, as well as the consideration of theright to confidentiality of correspondence as a separate element of the right to privacy. Instead, the second concept considers the rightto confidentiality of correspondence as an independent right that has a relative connection with the sphere of private life and is a separatepersonal human right. It is noted that the Constitutional of Ukraine derives the right to confidentiality of correspondence in a separatearticle from the inviolability of private and family life, which leads to the conclusion that it is inexpediency to narrow the right toconfidentiality of listening, telephone conversation, telegraph and other correspondence only in privacy or family life.An analysis of the latest normative changes in the legal regulation of ensuring the right to confidentiality of correspondence inUkraine of separate categories of persons, in particular on the restriction of the right to convicted and higher guarantees of the right toconfidentiality of correspondence of deputies of Ukraine, are committed.

The article attempts to analyze the stages of the crime in the history of Ukraine criminal legislation. The points of view of individual authors on the issue under study are given, as well as the author's own vision of the problem is shown. The study of the development of criminal law and legislation makes it possible to warn against new errors in the application of legal norms. The accumulated historical experience is important for modern researchers, legislators and practicing lawyers to take into account. That is why the controversial issues about the stage of the crime, which require further study and finding the best solutions are relevant in the historical context. Based on the insufficiency of the chosen topic, the purpose of the article is to determine the formation and historical development of the regulation of the institution of the stages of committing a crime. Having investigated the development of the Institute of stages of committing a crime, it is possible to identify the stages of its formation. The first stage is the period of the birth of this institution in the text of the "Russian Truth" and its further development up to the time of the Sudebnik of 1497 and 1550 years In literature there is no direct fastening of the stages of Commission of crime, however these rules, which allow a conditionally divided into two stages: attempted and completed crime. The second stage begins with the adoption of the Cathedral Code of 1649. At this stage, the legislator identifies three stages of committing a crime-intent, attempt, completed crime. The Cathedral Code of 1649 distinguishes punishments depending on the stage of the crime. The third stage is the period of validity Of the article of Military 1715. the Legislator distinguishes two stages-attempt and the finished crime, thus punishment for this or that stage practically do not differ, that is attempt at a crime was punished as a crime. The fourth stage covers the period from the adoption of the Code of 1845 to the first decrees of the Soviet power, relating to 1918. There is a clear legislative regulation of all stages of the crime; there are new-previously unknown stages; punishment is differentiated depending on the stage of the crime. In the Soviet period, the Institute continued its development, namely: there are new stages of committing a crime, there is a significant clarification of the signs of a particular stage. This period was characterized by increased repression, but it was during the Soviet period that the legal regulation of the institution of unfinished crime underwent significant development. Legal regulation of responsibility for an unfinished crime has passed a significant way of development. The development of the studied Institute changed taking into account the social structure in the state. A separate stage in the development of legislation on liability for an unfinished crime should be considered the Soviet era.

This is the first full-scale look at the essential place of Stoicism in the foundations of modern political thought. Spanning the period from Justus Lipsius's Politics in 1589 to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Emile in 1762, and concentrating on arguments originating from England, France, and the Netherlands, the book considers how political writers of the period engaged with the ideas of the Roman and Greek Stoics that they found in works by Cicero, Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. The book examines key texts in their historical context, paying special attention to the history of classical scholarship and the historiography of philosophy. The book delves into the persisting tension between Stoicism and the tradition of Augustinian anti-Stoic criticism, which held Stoicism to be a philosophy for the proud who denied their fallen condition. Concentrating on arguments in moral psychology surrounding the foundations of human sociability and self-love, the book details how the engagement with Roman Stoicism shaped early modern political philosophy and offers significant new interpretations of Lipsius and Rousseau together with fresh perspectives on the political thought of Hugo Grotius and Thomas Hobbes. The book shows how the legacy of the Stoics played a vital role in European intellectual life in the early modern era.
