UMthetho-sisekelo we-United States ungaphezu kakhulu kwencwadi engokomlando; umthetho ophakeme wezwe, ipulani eyisisekelo yentando yeningi yaseMelika. Wabekwa ehlobo laseFiladelphia ngo 1787, wathatha indawo yeZiphakamiso zeConfester futhi wamisa uhlelo oluqinile lwerepublic kahulumeni. Izimiso zawo ezihlala njalo, ukuhlukaniswa kwemibuso, ukuhlola nokulinganisela, uhulumeni, nokubukeza izahlulelo zokwahlulela kuqhubeke kuqondisa zonke izici zemibuso, kusukela ehholo le-Congressbources ukuya ehholo eliphansi ledolobha. Ukuqonda uMthetho-Constitution akusona nje isikole semfundo yezemfundo yezemfundo; kuyisidingo somphakathi, ugunyaza izakhamuzi ukuba zivikele amalungelo azo futhi zigcine uhulumeni wazo.

Umlando: Ukusuka Ekwamukeleni Imibandela Kuya Emthethweni - sisekelo

Indlela eya kuMthetho-sisekelo yahlelwa ngokwehluleka kwezihloko zeConfederation, eyagunyazwa ngo-1781. Ngaphansi kwalezi Zihlokwana, uhulumeni wezwe wawungenawo amandla okukhokha intela, ulawule intengiselwano yesifundazwe, noma imithetho egunyaziwe. Ukuvukela kukaShays kwadalula ubukhazikhazi besizwe esincane ngo1786-1787, uqinisekisa abaholi abaningi ukuthi uhulumeni onamandla kakhulu wawubalulekile ukuze uqhubeke.

Ama-flamers [1] Kuhlanganise uJames Madison, u-George Washington, noBenjamin Franklin . Bafaka izimpikiswano ezinkulu zokumelela, ukulinganisela kombuso phakathi kwezifunda ezinkulu nezincane, nendima yomphathi. Ukuhlehlisa isigwebo saso kwaxazulula ukuphikisana ngokudala isishaya-mthetho se-bidameral nokumelela okulinganayo eSigodlweni. Amathathu a-Fiffth ayayeka, nakuba ekhathaza ngokokuziphatha, anquma indlela abantu abagqilaziwe abazokubalwa ngayo intela nophawu. Ngemva kwezinyanga ezithile zokubekwa i-mthendeki, uMthetho-mthetho-sisekelo wasayinwa ngo-September 17, 1787, futhi kamuva wathunyelwa ezifundeni zokuhlolwa. Wathatha kwaze kwaba ngoJuni 21, 178888, ngenxa ye-New Hampshire ukuba ibe isimo se-9 sokuzinzisawo umthetho wezwe. Umthetho waqala ngo-Gene 4,9, ukuhambela komthetho womthetho womthetho owe-Gene. [F.][31]

Ukwakhiwa Komthetho - sisekelo

UMthetho-sisekelo uyincwadi emfushane kodwa ebanzi, ehlelwe yaba yi-Preging, izihloko eziyisikhombisa, kanye nezinguquko ezingamashumi amabili nayisikhombisa. Ingxenye ngayinye ifeza injongo ehlukile ekumiseni uhlaka lukahulumeni waseMelika.

Isiqalo

I-Pregage iqala ngenkulumo yemifanekiso efana ne-"i-"Thomagery" imisa ngokushesha ukuthi igunya likahulumeni lisuka ezakhamuzini, hhayi ezweni. Linikeza izinjongo eziyisithupha ezibanzi: ukwakha i-Union ephelele ngokwengeziwe, ukumisa uBumende, ukuqinisekisa ulwembu lwezente, ukunikeza i-Welfareal, futhi livikela i-Instruverse, kanye nezibusiso zeNkululeko. Nakuba i-Pregaget inganiki mandla aqondile, inikeza ifilosofi eqondisayo ukuchaza lonke leli bhulohothi.

Izihloko Eziyisikhombisa

Lezi zihloko zakha amagatsha amathathu kahulumeni, zichaza amandla awo, futhi zimise ubuhlobo phakathi kwemibuso nohulumeni kahulumeni, kanye nezinqubo zokulungisa nokulungisa.

  • Article I – The Legislative Branch: Iveza wonke amandla omthetho eSishaya-mthetho eSishaya-mthetho ehlanganiswe nendlu yabameleli neSigele. Ibala amandla akhethekile, kuhlanganise namandla okukhokha intela, ukuboleka imali, ukulawula ezohwebo, ukumemezela impi, nokuphakamisa amabutho. I-FTYClassia (IsiCeme I, Ingxenye 8, u-Claus 18) inikeza i-Bhunga lomthetho odingekayo ukuze kwenziwe imithetho edingekayo ukuze kufezwe amandla ayo ahlukene.
  • Article II – Igatsha Eliphethe: Izindawo eziphethe kuMongameli wase-United States, okhonza njengenhloko kahulumeni nomphathi-nhloko wamabutho ahlomile. Linikeza i-Electoral College system, imisebenzi kaMongameli yokuphoqelela imithetho, ukwenza izivumelwano (ngeseluleko seSigele nangemvume), futhi limise izikhulu zombuso nabahluleli.
  • Article III – Igatsha Lokwahlulela: Imisa iNkantolo Ephakeme futhi igunyaza uMkhandlu ukuba wakhe izinkantolo zikahulumeni eziphansi. Ichaza igunya lejaji likahulumeni, lidlulisela emacaleni aphakamayo ngaphansi koMthetho-sisekelo, imithetho kahulumeni, nezivumelwano, kanye nezimpikiswano phakathi kwezizwe noma phakathi kohulumeni nohulumeni.
  • Article IV – Relations Among the States: ifuna ukunikeza “ukholo olugcwele nokubongwa” ezenzweni zomphakathi, amarekhodi, nasemacaleni okwahlulela ezinye izizwe. Iqinisekisa uhlobo lukahulumeni werepublic kuyo yonke isifundazwe futhi ivikela amazwe ekuhlaselweni noma ebudloveni basekhaya.
  • Article V – Inqubo yeSichibiyelo: Inikeza izindlela ezimbili zokulungisa (ngazingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zazo zombili izindlu zeSishaya-Mkhandlu noma ngomhlangano wezwe oceliwe ngezindlu zomthetho ezimbili ezithathu) nezindlela ezimbili zokuzazisa (ngezithathu ezinesine zezindlu zomthetho noma ngemihlangano yezifunda ezintathu). Lesici siqinisekisa ukuthi ukubuyiselwa kwemithetho kudinga ukuvumelana okukhulu.
  • Article VI – Supremacy Claus: Imemezela uMthetho-sisekelo, imithetho kahulumeni yenziwa yamukeleka kuyo, futhi izivumelwano ‘ njengoMthetho wezwe owenziwe waphezulu,” zibopha bonke abahluleli bakahulumeni. Kufuna futhi ukuba zonke izikhulu zikahulumeni nohulumeni ukuba benze isifungo sokusekela uMthetho-sisekelo, zenqabela noma isiphi isivivinyo senkolo sesikhundla.
  • Article VII – Ratification: Incazelo yokuthi uMthetho-sisekelo uzoba ophumelelayo ekuhlanzweni ngemihlangano emiphakathini engu 9 emikhulu.

Izinqumo: Incwadi Ephilayo

Izinguquko ezingamashumi amabili nayisikhombisa zibonisa amandla oMthetho-sisekelo okukhula noshintsho. Ishumi lokuqala, liyiqembu, laziwa ngokuthi i-Bhill yamaLungelo [, yagunyazwa ngo1791] ngenxa yokukhathalela okungalawuleki kwenkululeko yomuntu ngamunye. Baqinisekisa inkululeko yokukhuluma, inkolo, cindezela, ingqungquthela, nesicelo (ISiphendulo Sakuqala); isivikelo sokuthwala izikhali (Syudi); isivikelo sokuvikela amasosha (Third) okungacabangeli nokuqulwa okungenangqondo (Fourth); amalungelo abamangalelwa ngokwezelelwa ngokwezelele (Fenuth - 08); amalungelo abamangalelwa bezelelwa (enu); futhi abangahliswa amalungelo abantu (enumshuway); nezindawo zokungamele amalungelo abantu (enu).

Izinguquko zamuva zibaluleke ngokufanayo. Inkathi yeshumi elinesithathu (11865) yaqeda ubugqila; inqubo yeshumi nane (1868) eqinisekisa ukuba yisizwe, inqubo efanele, nesivikelo esifanayo; eyeshumi elinesihlanu (1870) yalahla ukucwaswa kokhetho lohlanga; eyeshumi elinesishiyagalolunye (1920) yanikeza abesifazane ilungelo lokuvota; futhi i-20:1) yehlise iminyaka yokuvota yafinyelela kweshumi elinesibhozo. Inqubo yokulungisa ngokwayo iyinhlawulo olunamandla, ivumela isizwe ukuba silungise ukungalungisi nokushintsha izindinganiso ngaphandle kokulahla isakhiwo sokuqala. Umthetho wesizwe weSikhungosi-Pronotional Center unikeza inkokhelo yesandla sokuvota kuze kube ngu-1851]

Izimiso Zomthetho Kahulumeni WaseMelika

UMthetho - sisekelo awuziphawuli ngokuqondile izimiso zawo, kodwa unamathela kulo lonke isakhiwo sawo futhi uye waqiniswa amakhulu eminyaka okuzijwayeza nokuchaza kokwahlulela.

  • Ubukhosi obuPhakathi: Uhulumeni uphuma ngokusemthethweni emvumeni yababuswayo. Lesi simiso sibonakala ekukhetheni kwesandulela nasekukhetheni abameleli.
  • Ukuhlukanisa ama-Powers: ngokuhlukanisa igunya likahulumeni phakathi kwe-propatiss, isikhulu, namagatsha okwahlulela, uMthetho-sisekelo uvimbela noma iliphi igatsha ekuqoqeni amandla angavinjelwa. Igatsha ngalinye linemisebenzi yalo ehlukile futhi alinakungenela kwamanye.
  • Isikhombo noMaphakathi: Igatsha ngalinye linamandla okulinganisela izenzo zamagatsha. UKhongolo-kahulumeni lungasibekela umthetho futhi lususe uMongameli; uMongameli angamisa umthetho; iNkantolo Ephakeme ingamemezela imithetho noma izenzo zezikhulu ezingavumelani nemithetho. Lesimiso sikhuthaza ukubambisana nokuhlehla.
  • UbuFederali: Amandla ahlanganyelwayo phakathi kukahulumeni wesizwe nohulumeni bombuso. UMthetho-sisekelo unikeza imibuso ethile ebaliwe kuhulumeni kahulumeni wezwe, eminye igcinwe ezifundeni (ISichibiyelo seTente), futhi iqaphela amandla akhona (umz., intela) angasetshenziswa yizo zombili izinga. Lengxenye ivumela ukwahlukahlukahluka komphakathi kuyilapho ilondoloza ubunye besizwe.
  • Jodicial Review: Amandla ezinkantolo okubukeza imithetho nezenzo zobuphathi ngomthetho-sisekelo awachazwanga ngokucacile kuMthetho-sisekelo kodwa amiswa yiNkantolo Ephakeme Marbury v. Madison [1803]).

Umthetho - sisekelo Uyasebenza

UMthetho - sisekelo awusona isikhumbuzo esihlala njalo; uyithuluzi eliphilayo elincazelo yalo iguquka ngokuchazwa yizo zontathu izingxenye zikahulumeni, futhi ekugcineni, ngabantu. Ukuqonda indlela esebenza ngayo kubalulekile ekuqondeni indima yalo yangempela.

Incazelo Yokwahlulela: Amacala Asezweni

Izinqumo zeNkantolo Ephakeme ziwubumba ngokujulile umthetho womthetho - sisekelo.

  • Marbury v. Madison (103]): INkantolo, ngaphansi kukaMahluleli Omkhulu uJohn Marshall, yamisa amandla ayo okuhlola kokwahlulela, imemezela ilungiselelo loMthetho weJadiciary ka-1789 ongekho sigqebhene. Lendaba yamisa i-judiary njengegatsha elilinganayo elinamandla okulahla izenzo eziphikisana nomthetho-mthetho-mthetho.
  • McCulloch v. Maryland (1819): INkantolo yasekela ubukho be-mthetho-mfantu weBank yesibili yase-United States futhi yanquma ukuthi izifunda zazingenakukhokha intela izinhlangano zikahulumeni. Umbono weSikhulu soMahluleli Marshall wachaza imfundiso yamandla ashiwoyo ngaphansi kwe-Adict ne-Faned Clausse.
  • [FLT] Brown v. Ibhodi yemfundo (1954): Ngokubopha igumbuqela i-“sehlule kodwa” imfundiso ye Presev. Ferguson [1866]], iNkantolo yathi isigaba sohlanga ezikoleni zomphakathi yaphula iSivikeli sika Claus seSinyuselo se - 14.
  • ROE v. [[FLT] [3] Inkantolo yaqaphela ilungelo lomthetho-sisekelo lokukhipha isisu ngaphansi kwe-Century Programme Claus yeSigqibo se 1450. Nakuba kamuva [[FLT: 4] [FLT] iguqukele ku- Dobs v. Jackson’s Health Organization of South Africa [FLT] 222],[FLT]] [FLT]], lokhu kubonisa indlela incazelo yokuguqula komthetho.
  • I-CIZINUN (2010): INkantolo yasekela ukuthi ukuxhasa kwenkampani izinhlelo ezizimele zezombangazwe akunakulinganiselwa ngaphansi kweSichibiyelo Sokuqala, ukubhebhethekisa izimpikiswano eziqhubekayo mayelana nezimali zomkhankaso nenkululeko yokukhuluma.

Ngalinye lalamacala libonisa indlela incazelo yoMthetho - sisekelo engagxilile ngayo kodwa lichazwa ngokuqhubekayo ngokubuyiselwa ekuphenduleni imibuzo emisha engokomthetho nezinguquko zezenhlalo.

Isenzo Somthetho: ISishaya - mthetho NoMthetho - sisekelo

UKhomishane usebenzisa amandla awo omthetho-mthetho ngomthetho. ICommerce Classicle (Umdwebo I, Ingxenye 8, u-Classias 3) iye yavuleka kakhulu, ivumela ukuba i-Congress ilawule imisebenzi eminingi yezomnotho, kusukela emithethweni yezisebenzi kuya ekuvikelweni kwendawo ezungezile. Ukukhokha nokusetshenziswa kwamandla kwenza i-Congress ikwazi ukusekela izinhlelo zezenhlalakahle, izisekelo zezemfundo yenkolo nesivikelo sombuso. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uMkhandlu unegunya lokuqinisekisa ukumiswa kukamongameli, izivumelwano ze-raintectivement, nokusungulwa komthetho. Ngokuqondisa nokuhlola, i-Hulumeni ihlola igatsha eliphethe, iqinisekisa ukuthi imithetho ihlelwe ngendlela ehlosiwe.

Isenzo Esiphethe: UMongameli neGunya Lomthetho - sisekelo

Indima yomthetho-mthetho kaMongameli njengesikhulu esiphethe nomphathi-nhloko ivumela izenzo eziphawulekayo. Abameli banikeza iziyalo zezikhulu zezobuzwe, bahlela isimiso sangaphandle, futhi bamisa amajaji kahulumeni (kuhlanganise namajaji eNkantolo Ephakeme) ngokuqinisekiswa. Umbuso wamandla aphethe ubeyimpikiswano ephindaphindwayo yomthetho-sisekelo, ikakhulukazi ezikhathini zempi noma eziphuthumayo zezwe. Izimpikiswano zezenzo zezenzo zezenzo ze-lives. Okufana nezeze-Mongameli uLincoln ka-haviln phakathi neMpi Yombathili, ukuthumba kukaMongameli uTruman izigaxa zensimbi phakathi nempi ye-Colley (ist:0). [i-Ceromes .V.[FLT], 1952, noMongameli we-Omascial Obascter (iences) ezimpini ezisebenzayo phakathi kwempi ye-Chovisinetic.

Uhulumeni Wezwe

Isilinganiso samandla phakathi kwezifunda nohulumeni sihlala sinamandla futhi sivame ukuncintisana. INkantolo Ephakeme iye yandisa futhi yabeka imingcele kahulumeni. Ngokwesibonelo, United States v. Lopez [1995], iNkantolo yashaya umthetho kahulumeni ovimbela izibhamu eduze nezikole, ibusa ukuthi idlula iCentury Congress Claus enamandla ka Clausleease. Ngokungafani, i-FOLT] i-Foffide Business v. Imithetho ye-Tebelius[ isekela umthetho oyinhloko we-Afford Careance , ithatha umthetho wokusebenzisa amandla okukhokha intela. Ngokungaphezulu, ngokuphikisana nokwehlela imithetho yokukhipha izisuba, imithetho emisiwe. Isimiso somthetho-mthetho-mthetho-ose-Tenberty siyaqhubeka siyaqhubeka.

Inqubo Yesichibiyelo: Indlela Umthetho - sisekelo Oshintsha Ngayo

Isihloko V sichaza indlela yamabomu, enzima yokuguqula uMthetho-sisekelo. Ukulungisa kungahlongozwa ngamavoti amabili-sithathu kuzo zombili izindlu zomkhandlu noma ngomhlangano obizwa ngama-trithns amabili ezindlu zomthetho zikahulumeni (nakuba le ntambo ayizange isetshenziswe). Ukuvunywa kwemidanti edinga ukuvunyelwa ngeziphakamiso zikahulumeni ezintathu kwezine noma ngemihlangano kazwelonke, njengoba i-Congress inquma. Lemfuneko enkulu kakhulu ekhona iqinisekisa ukuthi i-antellimences zinems, isekela eliqinile ezweni lonke. Kusukela ngo 1789, ezingu-11, ezingu-3 000 izicelo ezidluliselwe i-andreantellians ziye zabekwa eMkhandlwini, kodwa ezintathu kuphela kwezintathu ziye zathunyelwa ezindaweni, futhi ezingu-77 kuphela eziye zamiswa. I-Ampempempe yamuva kakhulu, engu-1989, ehlosiwe ekuqaleni, i-1989, ayikathikathi, inqubo ewushintshanga kahle.

UMthetho - sisekelo Nomphakathi Wanamuhla

Namuhla, uMthetho-sisekelo uyinhloko yezimpikiswano eziningi zezwe eziphikisana kakhulu. Impikiswano enjengokufinyelela imali yomkhankaso, inkululeko engokwenkolo, ukulawulwa kwezibhamu, ukuzifihla, namandla okuphatha konke kubekwe ngokwemibandela yomthetho-sisekelo. Ukuvela kwezobuchwepheshe obusha zokwenza izesayensi zezenhlala - phambili, ukuhlakanipha kokwenziwa, nezimiso zokuhlola izakhiwo zezezimali (‘Umbuzo we-Greek, wesihlanu, ne-Gaandlalo-msc.' ukulwa okuqhubekayo ngamalungelo okuvota, i-gerrydering, ne-Elctoral College iveza ukungavumelani okujulileyo ngencazelo ye-mfane. [[FLT:]] Inhlangano yomthetho yokwaziswa [FLT:]]

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ithonya loMthetho-sisekelo lidlulela ngalé kwemingcele yaseMelika. Amazwe amaningi aye abheka kuMthetho-sisekelo wase-U.S. njengesibonelo sezimiso zawo zikahulumeni, ikakhulukazi izimiso zawo zokuhlukanisa imibuso nokuhlola ukwahlulela. Nokho ifa lalencwadi alikho ngaphandle kokuzibhidliza; ukuhlehla kwalo kwasekuqaleni nobugqila bawo nokuhluleka ukuchaza izakhamuzi zabo bonke abantu kuye kwaba yimithombo yomzabalazo oqhubekayo. ISiphendulo seshumi namashumi amane namashumi amane nakabili somthetho wamalungelo omphakathi uye wafuna ukulungisa lawomaphutha okuqala, kodwa umsebenzi wokuphelelisa i-Uni uyaqhubeka.

Ukubaluleka Kokuhlanganyela Isivumelwano Sesigqi

Ukuze irepublic yomthetho-sisekelo ikhuthazele, izakhamuzi kumelwe zitshelwe futhi zisebenze. UMthetho-sisekelo uvikela ilungelo lokuvota, ukukhuluma ngokukhululekile, ukuhlanganisa, nokunxusa uhulumeni. Kodwa lamalungelo anenjongo uma esetshenziswa. Isivumelwano se-CUBC sihlanganisa:

  • Ukubhalisa nokuvota kuwo wonke amanxusa kahulumeni, umbuso, nokhetho lwendawo.
  • Ukuhlala unolwazi ngezindaba ezingokwesimiso nangezenzo zezikhulu ezikhethiwe.
  • Ukuxhumana nabameleli ukuze baveze imibono yabo ngomthetho.
  • Ukukhonza emajajini lapho ebizwa.
  • Sihlanganyela emihlanganweni yasobala, emahholo amadolobha nasemiphakathini.
  • Ukuzinikela ngokuzithandela emikhankasweni noma ekufuneni izikhundla.
  • Ukufundisa abanye ngamalungelo nemithwalo yemfanelo engokomthetho.

Isosha elithembisene liyisivikelo sokugcina ekucindezeleni. Njengoba uJames Madison abhala kuFederalist No. 51, “Ngokungangabazeki, ukuthembela kubantu kuhulumeni okulawula ngokuyinhloko.” UMthetho-sisekelo unikeza uhlelo; abantu banikeza amandla nokwengamela okuwenza usebenze.
