Document Summary
Week 12 (mar 30) judicial politics in europe. Establishing judicial independence in west germany comparative politics 333-53. Overall, i thought this article was very well researched. I think vanberg definitely proved the u. s example is very generalizable, in that madison"s arguments hold weight because they really can be applied globally. I think vanberg did a good job proving how his arguments apply in germany but had this article been written later it would have benefited by comparing a country such as. Hungary because the power of the mass public and media is obviously why orban is so concerned with censoring it. I think the questions raised in vanberg"s conclusion would be very interesting applied in hungary. When comparing this article to sweet"s, vanberg clearly demonstrated the role of the media plays a pivotal role in constitutional changes due to the reaction of the mass public.
