This section of the course we are trying to get you familiarized with the main themes of the course with the particular focus on police power. Or how we (cid:449)a(cid:374)t to p(cid:396)ope(cid:396)l(cid:455) appl(cid:455) those (cid:449)o(cid:396)ds to a pa(cid:396)ti(cid:272)ula(cid:396) (cid:272)ase.
