Topic: Seventh Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland


  
  Seventh Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Seventh Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland provided that the procedure for the election of six members of the Senate by university graduates could be altered by law.
Prior to the Seventh Amendment it was a constitutional requirement that three members of Seanad Éireann, the Irish Senate, be elected by the National University of Ireland (NUI) and three by the University of Dublin (better known as Trinity College).
With the amendment this requirement was changed to merely one that six senators be elected by any institutions of higher education in any manner that might be determined by the Oireachtas (parliament).

Robert Bork, for example, has described the Ninth Amendment as an "inkblot" whose meaning cannot be deciphered,[5] and has referred to the right of privacy as a "loose canon in the law."[6] Supporters of such sexual rights, on the other hand, tend to take rather expansive views of what the Ninth Amendment protects.
Rather, the Second Amendment adheres to the guarantee of the right of the people to keep and bear arms as the predicate for the other provision to which it speaks, i.e., the provision respecting a militia, as distinct from a standing army separately subject to congressional...
The purpose of the right to bear arms is twofold: to allow individuals to protect themselves and their families, and to ensure a body of armed citizenry from which a militia could be drawn,[60] whether that militia's role was to protect the nation, or to protect the people from a tyrannical government.
