ABSTRACT: On May 1, 2017, due to the deep political and economic crisis in the country, the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, convened a National Constituent Assembly under articles 347 and 348 of the Constitution. The call, however, generated a strong controversy in the doctrine which has generally been advocating for that call to be only made by the people by means of a referendum. This present work aims to analyze the different positions in this rich legal debate and to allow conclusions on the constitutional legitimacy of the presidential call.

Abstract This article revisits the legitimacy question as it touches the Nigerian 1999 Constitution, bringing to the discourse a review and application of pertinent theoretical perspectives on constitution making and constitutional legitimacy. This theoretical and pragmatic approach introduces a refreshing angle to the debate, revealing the paucity of any attempt to ascribe any legitimacy claim to a constitution with a doubtful normative claim and fraudulent attribution of its source and legitimacy to the people. The author finds the consent basis of constitutional legitimacy as most attractive to a divided state like Nigeria, and concludes by advocating the adoption of a blend of the principles of the constituent assembly and post sovereign constitution-making models for the production of a new people-driven and inclusive constitution to meet the needs of the Nigerian people.

Cradle To Cradle

Man has lived by various rituals since before he tried to live a civilized life. As civilization grows, all living beings are living their lives trapped within the triad of 'pati, pasu, pasam'. Just as cultivation brought the lands under its control for good growth, and all weeds were all removed and well cultivated, so too for an organism to grow well, our ancestors sowed the good and destroyed the evil and led a life of living with culture. There, rituals are included and guide the lives of the people. Rituals are generally divided into two types of rituals, pleasure rituals and suffering rituals. The nature of the rituals is revealed by classifying the rituals celebrated in the festivals as rituals performed in the Mangala event and the rituals performed in the Mangala event as the rituals performed in the Mangala event. And music and drama are well developed in rituals. Due to the economic crisis at the Mangala event, musical instruments such as the trumpet were reduced, but musical instruments called 'drums' were forced into the funeral ceremonies of the Mangala event. Rituals are the color of life in every human being who lives within the confines of 'arrogance, vanity, delusion'. Women play an important role in rituals. Various rituals take place, from putting the newborn baby in the cradle to experiencing various pleasures due to karma during their lifetime and burying them in the ground. The cradle-to-cradle and naming ceremony rituals are the same for the newborn male and female. For women, the yellow bathing ceremony and bracelet events are considered to be unique to women. Wedding ceremonies and death ceremonies come and go in everyone's life and go after its reaction. According to Kanmani Gunasekara's novel 'Vandarangudi', the study reveals that people are practicing rituals and worshiping God with devotion without harming the culture.

The Fiction of “We the People”: Is the Constitution Binding on Us?

Constitutional Legitimacy

This chapter explains why the consent of the governed cannot justify a duty to obey the laws. The Constitution begins with the statement, “We the People of the United States...do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” The founders declared that “We the People” had exercised their rights and manifested their consent to be ruled by the institutions “constituted” by this document. To understand what constitutional legitimacy requires, the chapter first considers what it means to assert that a constitution is “binding” before making the case that “We the People” is a fiction. More specifically, it challenges the idea, sometimes referred to as “popular sovereignty,” that the Constitution was or is legitimate because it was established by “We the People” or the “consent of the governed.” It argues that the fiction of “We the People” can prove dangerous in practice and can nurture unwarranted criticisms of the Constitution's legitimacy.

La Universidad de Lezo es un pequeño municipio guipuzcoano al que acuden pocos turistas. Esto se debe a su cercanía a otros lugares más atractivos por ser más conocidos y a su industrialización gracias a la localización privilegiada de su territorio. Sin embargo, Lezo posee un rico patrimonio paisajístico y cultural, que queda resumido en este trabajo. Tanto protegerlo mediante normativa como darlo a conocer son indispensables para incidir en su mantenimiento y conservación. El turismo sostenible, que constituye una alternativa a las crisis de la economía, es también una manera adecuada de acercar este patrimonio a la gente.The Universidad de Lezo is a small Gipuzkoan town visited by few tourists. This fact is due to its proximity to places more attractive for being best known and its industrialization thanks to the privileged location of its area. Nevertheless, Lezo has a rich landscape and cultural heritage, which is summarized in this paper. Both protect it by regulation and make it known are indispensable to influence its maintenance and conservation. Sustainable tourism, which is an alternative to the economic crisis, is also an appropriate way to bring this heritage closer to the people.

AbstractFamily entrepreneurs in all honesty cannot grasp this new concept. Just now, while we are still experiencing a worldwide financial and economic crisis, which has by no means been overcome yet, there is talk of increasing taxation of assets. In recent years, small and medium-sized and larger family-run companies have succeeded in improving their equity ratio. This helped weathering the crisis better, allowed us to hold on to key specialists in our workforce and made us become more independent of a banking industry shaken to its core. And now, of all times, models are discussed to once again withdraw equity and the ability to place investments from German companies, whether directly or indirectly. Unfortunately, the people proposing these models work with smoke and mirrors that may mislead the less informed public. Even a 1 or 1.5 % tax or levy on assets will result in an explosion of the accumulated fiscal burden on a company’s income of additionally approx. 20 %, especially since the proposed new taxes are only to be paid from profits.Excessive taxation is therefore more or less preprogrammed. Does anyone really consider the way ahead if one of the last locomotives of the European economy is thus slowed down economically?

This paper addresses the influence of the economic crisis on national identity in Slovenia. It first analyzes the creation of the contemporary national identity following independence in 1991 that was established in relation to a negatively perceived Balkan identity, which represented “the Other,” and in relation to a “superior” European identity that Slovenia aspired to. With the economic crisis, the dark corners of Slovenia's “successful” post-socialist transition to democracy came to light. Massive layoffs of workers and the bankruptcies of once-solid companies engendered disdain for the political elites and sympathy for marginalized groups. The public blamed the elites for the country's social and economic backsliding, and massive public protests arose in 2012. The aftermath of the protests was a growing need among the people for a new social paradigm toward solidarity. We show that in Slovenia the times of crisis were not times of growing nationalism and exclusion as social theory presupposes but, quite the contrary, they were times of growing solidarity among citizens and with the “Balkan Other.”

Hugo Chávez appeared and emerged in Venezuela under political-economic crisis. This article argues that his power struggle supported by the people because Chavez vision and mission are to favour the people inrerest, and he takes care about people. . Chave political project, as stated Ellner as non- revolutionary path of radical populism, expressed through various political program missions, namely to encourage social revolutionary program, but not in the political project of the revolution, at least during the Chávez powers throughout 1998-2006. However, Ellner mentioned that non- revolutionary path of radical populism can also lead to revolutionary-path, meaning that political poryek Chávez is still unfinished and still possible to reach a variety of changes, whether the "Bolivarian Revolution" will take the form of non-revolutionary transformation, or even revolutionary- path.
