Book Synopsis A Constitution for Aotearoa New Zealand by : Andrew Butler
Download or read book A Constitution for Aotearoa New Zealand written by Andrew Butler and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Zealand needs a constitution that is easy to understand, reflects our shared identity and nationhood, protects rights and liberties, and prevents governments from abusing power. The current constitution is vague, jumbled and unclear. It can be easily overridden or changed according to political whim. This book aims to change that. It proposes a modern, codified constitution that is accessible and clear, and it aims to stimulate debate about who we are as a nation and how we should be governed--so we can forge enduring arrangements now, instead of waiting for a crisis to force our hand. While A Constitution for Aotearoa New Zealand proposes some important changes, it is at pains to preserve the sound elements of our past and our unique constitutional culture. The authors conclude by seeking your feedback on their proposals, which will be reflected in a second edition to be published in 2017. Ultimately this book is an impassioned plea for government to be transparent, accountable, responsive, and reflect the values of all New Zealanders.

Book excerpt: Written by constitutional law specialist Bruce Harris, New Zealand Constitution An Analysis in Terms of Principles, is a unique commentary on New Zealand's unwritten constitution.

Book Synopsis Magna Carta and New Zealand by : Stephen Winter
Download or read book Magna Carta and New Zealand written by Stephen Winter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first to explore the vibrant history of Magna Carta in Aotearoa New Zealand’s legal, political and popular culture. Readers will benefit from in-depth analyses of the Charter’s reception along with explorations of its roles in regard to larger constitutional themes. The common thread that binds the collection together is its exploration of what the adoption of a medieval charter as part of New Zealand’s constitutional arrangements has meant – and might mean – for a Pacific nation whose identity remains in flux. The contributions to this volume are grouped around three topics: remembrance and memorialization of Magna Carta; the reception of the Charter by both Māori and non-Māori between 1840 and 2015; and reflection on the roles that the Charter may yet play in future constitutional debate. This collection provides evidence of the enduring attraction of Magna Carta, and its importance as a platform of constitutional aspiration.
Book Synopsis The Constitution of New Zealand by : Matthew SR Palmer
Download or read book The Constitution of New Zealand written by Matthew SR Palmer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines New Zealand's constitution, through the lens of constitutional realism. It looks at the practices, habits, conventions and norms of constitutional life. It focuses on the structures, processes and culture that govern the exercise of public power – a perspective that is necessary to explore and account for a lived, rather than textual, constitution. New Zealand's constitution is unique. One of three remaining unwritten democratic constitutions in the world, it is characterised by a charming set of anachronistic contrasts. “Unwritten”, but much found in various written sources. Built on a network of Westminster constitutional conventions but generously tailored to local conditions. Proudly independent, yet perhaps a purer Westminster model than its British parent. Flexible and vulnerable, while oddly enduring. It looks to the centralised authority that comes with a strong executive, strict parliamentary sovereignty, and a unitary state. However, its populace insists on egalitarian values and representative democracy, with elections fiercely conducted nowadays under a system of proportional representation. The interests of indigenous Maori are protected largely through democratic majority rule. A reputation for upholding the rule of law, yet few institutional safeguards to ensure compliance.

Book Synopsis This Realm of New Zealand by : Janet McLean
Download or read book This Realm of New Zealand written by Janet McLean and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Zealand is a democratic constitutional monarchy, one of Queen Elizabeth II's sixteen realms. This book provides a comprehensive account of how the Queen, the Governor-General and the Crown interact with our democratically-elected leaders under New Zealand's unwritten constitution.The authors explain how these islands in the South Pacific were first brought within Queen Victoria's dominions, the arrangements then made for their future government, and how those arrangements developed over time with the pressure for democracy and responsible government to become New Zealand's current constitution. They discuss the responsibilities of, and interactions between, the key office-holders: the Sovereign herself; her representative, the Governor-General; the impersonal and perpetual Crown, and the Prime Minister, other Ministers and Members of Parliament. All of them affect in some way the government which runs the country day to day. In an afterword, the authors examine some of the key issues to be considered should New Zealand become a republic.The parliamentary democracy that we take for granted can conceal New Zealand's ultimate constitutional underpinnings in the monarchy. But, as the authors make clear, the monarchy's continuing role in New Zealand's constitution is significant. And understanding the roles of the Queen, the Governor-General and the Crown will be critical as we look forward to debates about the possibility of a republic in New Zealand.

Book Synopsis The Constitution of New Zealand by : Founding Fathers
Download or read book The Constitution of New Zealand written by Founding Fathers and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Similar to their British cousins, the Constitution of New Zealand is an uncodified constitution and an amalgamation of written and unwritten sources. The New Zealand Constitution Act of 1852 setup New Zealand as a self-governing colony with a parliament, executive council and divided the islands into six provinces. While the provinces were later restructured, subnational governance has a remarkably fluid history in New Zealand.The Constitution Act 1986 largely replaced the 1852 Act, and severed all legal ties with the United Kingdom. The act also re-established the powers of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government. It also severed all legal ties with the United Kingdom.These documents make up the legal foundation for the country we know as New Zealand. They were heavily influence by the Westminster model of parliamentary democracy, and the Anglo-Saxon political traditions like the Magna Carta, and the Bill of Rights 1687.
