scope

Examples of scope in the following topics:

• The Constitutional Right to Petition the Government

  • While the prohibition of abridgement of the right to petition originally referred only to the federal legislature and courts, the incorporation doctrine later expanded the protection of the right to its current scope, over all state and federal courts and legislatures and the executive branches of the state and federal governments.

• The Supreme Court as Policy Makers

  • On the other hand, through its power of judicial review, the Supreme Court has defined the scope and nature of the powers and separation between the legislative and executive branches of the federal government.
  • The Court's decisions can also impose limitations on the scope of Executive authority, as in Humphrey's Executor v.

• Humanitarian Efforts

  • The funding and delivery of humanitarian aid has become increasingly international in scope.

• The Power of Judicial Review

  • This principle is interpreted differently in different jurisdictions, so the procedure and scope of judicial review differs from state to state.

• State Initiatives Against Affirmative Action

  • However, the scope of affirmative action debates soon extended beyond employment and entered the domain of higher education.

• From Political Values to Ideology

  • These ideologies capture what they believe the scope and purpose of government should be, as well as the balance between individual freedom and collective equality.
  • Generally, peoples' values about the scope and purpose of government can be translated into three main political ideologies: liberals, conservatives, and moderates.

• Independent Agencies

  • Congress passes statutes called enabling acts that define the scope of agencies' authority.

• The Fourth Amendment and Search and Seizure

  • The amendment also states that a search or seizure should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied by law enforcement to the issuing court.

• Results of the 1946 Act

  • The Court upheld the act's constitutionality, but it also narrowed the scope and application of the act.

• The Legislative Function

  • Congress has implied powers deriving from the Constitution's Necessary and Proper Clause which permit Congress to "make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof. " Broad interpretations of this clause and of the Commerce Clause, the enumerated power to regulate commerce, in rulings such as McCulloch v Maryland have effectively widened the scope of Congress's legislative authority far beyond that prescribed in Section 8.
