	Police power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Police power is the power of a state to make laws and to use physical violence in order to coerce its subjects into obeying those laws.
		Under the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution, the powers prohibited from or not delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
		Police powers are, from the point of view of state courts, also restricted by state constitutions.

	CITES BY TOPIC: police power
		The police power is subject to limitations of the federal and State constitutions, and especially to the requirement of due process.
		Police power is the exercise of the sovereign right of a government to promote order, safety, security, health, morals and general welfare within constitutional limits and is an essential attribute of government.
		Because the police power is the least limitable of the exercises of government, such limitations as are applicable are not readily definable.

	The Police Power: Patriarchy and the Foundations of American Government.
		This power came to be referred to as “police power.” The need for broad discretion in carrying out this power resulted in the general principle that if a challenged exercise of power was found to fall within the police power, the exercise of power was legal and proper.
		While Dubber’s discussion of police power may not provide a convincing case for the existence of such statutes (something that was not his intent anyway), it does provide an historical explanation for their existence.
		Dubber attributes the Supreme Court’s reluctance to examine the permissible scope of the police power to the unhappy fate of its decision in LOCHNER v.

	THE EVOLVING POLICE POWER: SOME OBSERVATIONS FOR A NEW CENTURY, David Kopel, Glenn Reynolds (via CobWeb/3.1 ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This police power of the State extends to the protection of the lives, limbs, health, comfort and quiet of all persons, and the protection of all property within the State.
		The maxim of this power is that every individual must submit to such restraints in the exercise of his liberty or of his rights of property as may be required to remove or reduce the danger of the abuse of these rights on the part of those who are unskillful, careless, or unscrupulous.
		While more and more courts are taking their duty to police the boundaries of the police power seriously, the fear of being charged with "judicial activism" may steer some courts toward a narrow, positivistic interpretation of rights against government (though seldom toward such a narrow interpretation of government powers).

		A combination of the police power, infused with the Public Trust, and a candid comprehensive plan, could allow localities to adopt zoning ordinances that preserve and promote the unique set of intangibles that attract people to a community in the first place.
		The police power evolved in response to increased societal concern.
		The sovereign power itself, therefore, cannot consistently with the principles of the law of nature and the constitution of a well ordered society, make a direct and absolute grant of the waters of the state divesting all the citizens of their common right.

	SSRN-The Police Power and the Takings Clause by Benjamin Barros
		Part I concludes that the police power, as a concept of American constitutional law, is synonymous with the entirety of the sovereign power of the states that remained after the constitutional grant of limited powers to the federal government.
		Placing the holding in Mahon in the context of Holmes's prior writings on the police power and his substantive due process dissents shows that Holmes understood the broad scope of the police power while at the same time rejected the formalistic rule that exercises of the police power could never be takings.
		Most significantly, recognition that the broad scope of the police power is not tied to the prevention of harm helps demonstrate that the character of the government act in question should have no place in the regulatory takings inquiry, and that its central role in contemporary regulatory takings cases is misplaced.

		The paradox of patriarchal police power as the most troubling yet least scrutinized of governmental powers can begin to be resolved by subjecting this branch of government to the critical analysis it merits.
