Template talk:US Constitution
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am moving preemption to the "interpretation" section, since preemption is not a clause or concept that appears explicitly in the Constitution, but rather derives from—is an interpretation of—the Supremacy Clause. Hydriotaphia 17:14, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
In approximately a day, unless I hear objections, I shall remove Civil liberties of the United States from the template for several reasons.
- Most importantly, it is not a particularly informative article. It contains nothing that other articles (Freedom of speech in the United States, Equal Protection Clause, etc.) don't already have.
- I think the limited space on the Template would be better used for other articles.
- I don't think it's quite accurate to say that civil liberties are an "interpretation" of the Constitution; rather, they derive from the guarantees of specific clauses, and thus the topic is better addressed in the articles on those clauses.
I hope no one will be offended that I plan on doing this. Please let me know if you object. Best, Hydriotaphia 03:38, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)
For the moment, however, I shall content myself with adding Incorporation (Bill of Rights) to the "intepretation" section and moving "due process"—and renaming it "Due Process Clause"—to the "Specific Clauses" section. Hydriotaphia 03:42, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)
I have chagned 'signatures' to 'signatories', which is the title of the page it linked to, and a more desciptive word of what it links to. JiMternet 23:49, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Albany Congress
I think a link to Albany Congress should be included, since the "Albany Plan" was the first document drawn up to create some sort of union of the colonies. --JW1805 02:01, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Exec priv
Anyone think that executive privilege should be added to "interpretation?" Kaisershatner 20:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
