The onus of dealing with the refugees to begin with can not be placed on the originating countries. This is because these countries are in civil war to begin with.The transitional countries can not help either,because certainly most of these have considerable levels of failures as nations.
the onus falls on western countries, because, that is where the refugees are going. It is upon these countries to come up with strategy of coping up with the refugee rides across the Mediterranean.
The best way to deal with the crisis is to put up transitional camps in the countries where the refugees are emanating from.
Hi there!
Marbury v. Madison and McCulloch v. Maryland are some of the earliest examples of landmark cases in the history of the Supreme Court. Their decisions, which have had lasting impacts on the interpretation of the Constitution, are vital to todays understanding of the federal government.
Marbury v. Madison established the policy of judicial review. Judicial review holds that the court has the power to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional should it be inconsistent with the Constitution. This put a sizable check on the power of Congress to pass laws and established the power of the court in the new government.
McCulloch v. Maryland established that when it comes to clashes between state laws and federal laws, federal laws will always trump state laws except for a few rare exceptions. This reaffirmed the power of the new national government and the broad sweeping power it had over the states.
