About This Topic

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them.  However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different.  It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted.  A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent.  However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

The utility of analyzing British constitutional arrangements through Dicey's parliamentary supremacy doctrine
As we will see in our presentation, part of the realities of the British political system is a regime of an unwritten constitution where parliamentary supremacy and pressure from the general populace will ideally balance each other out. However, this is not always the case. In the midst of the war on terror, more power has went to executive figures and seemingly much power has been lost by the parliament. Ever since the terrorist attacks in the UK on July 7, 2005, more surveillance powers have come into the hands of the state. This has brought many civil libertarians to voice concern that Parliament is not protecting traditional individual rights. In addition, the increasing influence of Brussels and the EU is changing the balance of political power constitutionally by bringing in the continental system of that body increasingly into the realm of British constitutional law. In this way, the balance of power is changing and sometimes overturning existing, unwritten English constitutional law.
