The federal oversight and mandates that are built into this piece of legislation have been objected to by many states and individuals as overly intrusive, and Weeks (2011) provides an analysis of why the Affordable Care Act is objected to as a matter of law and as a matter of principle. Understanding this issue requires an understanding of the nature, sources, and functions of law as they are perceived in the United States in regards to be as absolute as possible than it is to ensure public and societal well being and stability beyond a bare minimum level (Gonzales 2010; Weeks 211). The nature of law in a federalist society, according to this view, is more about defining the limits to which a government will or is allowed to become involved in certain issues, rather than about defining specific interventions.

Journal of Leisure How much leisure do you have? Not much, it may be imagined. Does Pieper have a valid point here, or is he being unrealistic? Are our lives basically all right even if we have no time for contemplation? Isn't leisure for video games, TV, movies, or surfing the Net? In Josef Piepers's book Leisure: the Basis of Culture he explains that there is a lot more to leisure than
Law and Society The Nature of Law and Justice - Sadomasochism Sadomasochism presents the complexities and nuances involved in the nature of law and justice. In its purest definition, socially and legally, sadomasochism is a consensual act. There may even be actual contracts involved.
