Basic Concepts

Five intelligence tests produced in the United States of America were reviewed to determine the incidence of basic concepts within the test directions. The 258 concepts assessed by the Bracken Basic Concept Scale were used to produce the frequency count and it was found that the directions of four of the five intelligence tests were replete with basic concepts. The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children had only six concepts used in the test directions, and the instrument allows for task teaching and alternate wording. Threats to validity are discussed for the four American instruments that had the most concepts assumed by the test authors.

Basic Concepts

Introduction. The relevance of the article is due to the development of cross-border trade relations with the participation of residents of the United States of America and other states, in particular, and interest in questions about the correct choice of the applicable law in the framework of legal relations with the participation of US residents carried out in the territory or under the jurisdiction of the United States. Purpose. The author aims to consider the basic concepts, as well as some features of resolving conflicts arising between the provisions of federal law, the laws of certain states with the laws of other states, as well as, in some cases, with international law. Methodology. In the framework of the study, the author used various methods, in particular, the dialectical method, methods of analysis, synthesis, the formal legal method, the comparative legal method, as well as the method of interpretation of legal acts and judicial precedents. Results. The author examined the features of conflict resolution in accordance with statutory legislation, judicial precedents, as well as US doctrinal sources. The author provides the basic concepts regarding conflict law, which contain the main approaches to resolving the conflict of various jurisdictions in the United States. Conclusion. Based on the results of the study, the author concludes that even if there are separate (special) legal acts, court cases, as well as doctrinal sources that, it would seem, should help overcome conflicts between different legal systems, given the diversity of legal relations, such collisions will arise in the future, which will push lawmakers to further develop issues of US conflict law.

This article is the revised text of the first W A Wilson Memorial Lecture, given in the Playfair Library, Old College, in the University of Edinburgh, on 17 May 1995. It considers various visions of Scots law as a whole, arguing that it is now a system based as much upon case law and precedent as upon principle, and that its departure from the Civilian tradition in the nineteenth century was part of a general European trend. An additional factor shaping the attitudes of Scots lawyers from the later nineteenth century on was a tendency to see themselves as part of a larger Englishspeaking family of lawyers within the British Empire and the United States of America.

First Session

From the first days, of the first session, of the first Congress of the United States, the Senate was consumed by an issue that would do immense and lasting political harm to the sitting vice president, John Adams. The issue was a seemingly unimportant one: titles. Adams had strong opinions on what constituted a proper title for important officers of government and, either because he was unconcerned or unaware of the damage it would cause, placed himself in the middle of the brewing dispute. Adams hoped the president would be referred to as, “His highness, the President of the United States of America, and Protector of the Rights of the Same.” The suggestion enraged many, amused some, and was supported by few. He lost the fight over titles and made fast enemies with several of the Senators he was constitutionally obligated to preside over. Adams was savaged in the press, derided in the Senate and denounced by one of his oldest and closest friends. Not simply an isolated incident of political tone-deafness, this event set the stage for the campaign against Adams as a monarchist and provided further proof of his being woefully out of touch.
