Sovereignty

Finally, a brief conclusion will be given. First of all, the definitions of national security in the contexts of realism and li-beralism will be provided. In terms of realism, the definition is narrow, which is states’ survival. In other words, it is sovereignty. Nevertheless, when it comes to liberalism, it will become more complicated and broader because there are at least three frameworks to define national security in liberalism. The first framework starts from the military perspective,…

seems to be a broad understanding of the rule of law, it does not have practical use in the UK Constitutional law. I support the concept, but from the opinions put forward; it appears that the rule of law is limited in contrast to parliamentary sovereignty, which makes it impractical. Once it has a definite meaning, which makes it sufficient, I think the rule of law could work well in UK constitutional…

ensure that British settlement could commence. There would have been immense pressure on Hobson from British government, to get the Maori approval of the terms within the treaty. Considering Hobson’s responsibility he would have done everything he could in his power to get the Maori to sign the treaty, even if that meant telling them the fabricated version of the treaty.

One of the objections that he addresses is what he calls that Violation of Rights Objection. He lays the objection out as such. Drug laws are immoral due to the fact that they violate people’s rights to self-sovereignty–that is, “a moral right to control our own minds and bodies”.
