According to Weber, order is based on two fundamental forms: norms and authority. Charismatic leadership, according to Weber, is found in a leader with extraordinary characteristics of individual, whose mission and vision inspire others. In such, this charismatic leader is seen as the head of any social or political movement, sometimes gifted with divine powers such as: religious prophets and Gurus. However, charismatic leadership is considered unstable as it is related to faith and belief; once these fade, the authority and leadership dissolve.Thus, charismatic authority depends on the extent to which a religious or political figure is able to preserve moral influence and prosperity to his followers. Weber favoured charismatic leadership and saw its inevitable influence over the other two authorities with the use of soft power in both the traditional and legal-rational authorities. Source What is India's Citizenship Amendment Act? (at 00:21:51 or pg. 5 in the transcript)In December 2019, the Indian Parliament passed the  Citizenship Amendment Act 2019. The Act amended the law to fast-track citizenship for religious minorities, specifically Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians, from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who entered India prior to 2015. However, the Act does not extend to Muslim minorities, for example: the Ahmadiyya from Pakistan; the Rohingya from Myanmar; and the Tamil from Sri Lanka. Opponents of the Act have claimed that it is unconstitutional as it links citizenship to religion and marginalises India's Muslim population. However, the Government has argued that the law protects religious minorities.The Act has been referred to the Indian Supreme Court. In January 2020, the Court said it would not put the implementation of the law on hold but asked the Government to respond to the petitions challenging the law's constitutional validity within a month.Some Indian states have announced that they will not implement the law. However, the Government has stated that states have a “constitutional duty” to do so.The Act has led to widespread protests, with activists and human rights organisations, such as Amnesty International, criticising the police and the Government for the response. Source What is the concept of constitutional patriotism?(at 00:23:02 or pg. 5 in the transcript)The purpose of constitutional patriotism, -Jürgen Habermas's well-known theory-  as a set of beliefs and dispositions, is to enable and uphold a liberal democratic form of rule that free and equal citizens can justify to each other. The object of patriotic attachment is a specific constitutional culture that mediates between the universal and the particular, while the mode of attachment is one of critical judgment. Finally, constitutional patriotism results in a number of policy recommendations that are clearly different from policies that liberal nationalists would advocate. Source Who was Gustav Radbruch?  (at 00:27:30 or pg. 6 in the transcript)Gustav Radbruch, German jurist and legal philosopher, one of the foremost exponents of legal relativism and legal positivism. He also served the Weimar government as a Minister of Justice (1921–22; 1923). Radbruch's legal philosophy grew out of the neo-Kantian principle that law is defined by and depends upon moral values. In such a system, there are no absolutes; thus, the concepts of right and  justice are not absolute but are relative to time and place and to the values of the parties in a given legal proceeding. As a result of Nazi rule in Germany, however, a radical change in Radbruch's outlook occurred in his later years. He abandoned relativism and turned toward a philosophy of natural law that recognized certain absolute, innate properties of law and justice. Source 

June is Pride Month and you are hard pressed to find a corporation in America that hasn't shown support for the cause. Many are selling merchandise so you can support it too. But is all the corporate support for the right reasons? What should you look for to see if a company is truly an ally to the LGBTQ community and not just trying to cynically cash in? And could we see Juneteenth, just made a federal holiday, get the same sort of corporate attention? Dr. Jeffrey Boles, Associate Professor and Chair of the Legal Studies Department at Temple University's Fox School of Business joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about Pride around the world and the companies that are on board, for the right reasons, or for their own reasons.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The story of the American West as it is often told typically involves Spanish, British, and American Empires struggling with Indigenous people for control of the vast territory lands and riches from the Mississippi to the Pacific. After the seventeenth century, French colonists and French-speaking Metis are often relegated to the role of bit players in this tale. Songs Upon the Rivers: The Buried History of the French-Speaking Canadiens and Metis From the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Across to the Pacific (Baraka Books, 2016) reemphasizes the importance of the French imperial legacy and Metis influence in the Great Lakes region, on the northern plains, and in the far Pacific West. In doing so, this book challenges American and Canadian narratives about the west which too often tend toward racial and national binaries. By telling the stories of people who lived across ethnic and national boundaries, Robert Foxcurran, Michel Bouchard, and Sebastien Mallett show how historians can use the complications of the past to explode notions of perceived difference in the present day, and in doing so reveal important stories about the Trans-Mississippi West which have been buried for far too long. Robert Foxcurran is an independent scholar and former historian for the Boeing Corporation, he can be reached at robert.r.foxcurran@gmail.com; Michel Bouchard is a Professor of anthropology at the University of Northern British Columbia; Sebastien Malette is an Assistant Professor in the Law and Legal Studies Department at Carleton University. Stephen Hausmann is a doctoral candidate at Temple University and Visiting Instructor of history at the University of Pittsburgh. He is currently writing his dissertation, a history of race and the environment in the Black Hills and surrounding northern plains region of South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.
