“…It has also been argued that our current understanding of what a constitution is largely depends on the constructions which nineteenthcentury constitutionalism placed upon it, locking the constitution into a series of complex relationships with liberal views of the modern nation state (Castiglione, 1996). A current understanding of constitution is that it is a set of principles which determine the way a country will be governed, and a description of the order in which the principles should be invoked (Hey & Pasca, 2010). Others have defined a constitution as something to which people subscribe to which sets out rules they agree to abide by.…”

Constitutional and Administrative Law is a core component of legal studies throughout the world, but to date little has been written about how this might exist on the Internet, which is like a world without frontiers. John Perry Barlow's "Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" served to start the debate about the legitimacy of nation-states to impose laws on such a virtual space. It has been argued that the nation-states won as there are now a significant number of laws regulating the Internet on national and international levels. It can however be seen that there are commonalities between the two entities. For example, there are commonalities in the way they function. There are also commonalities in the way civil rights exist, and the existence of civil remedies and law enforcement. These are all explored in the chapter, which also presents two concepts about the authority of the state in regulating behaviour in online communities. One of them, "sysop prerogative," says that owners of website can do whatever they want so long as they have not had it taken away by law or given it away by contract. The second, 'The Preece Gap', says that there is a distance between the ideal usable and sociable website that the

“…However, both methods have advantages and disadvantages that need to be discussed 28 . Although the lack of a financial incentive may be regarded as a problem from a traditional perspective (Hey and Pasca 2011) 29 , the research design adopted for this study is the survey method using a questionnaire to collect data. This is because in order to reach unbiased views, it might be better to prefer a technique, which cannot be manipulated through monetary stakes, for the sake of investigating the genuine methodological issues associated with justice and equity (Faravelli 2007;Gaertner and Schokkaert 2011).…”

This paper examines the impact of the level of economics knowledge on the perception of equity in a Rawlsian sense when distributional issues are of concern to the students at different stages of their education. The purpose is to question the widely held belief that economics teaching has an influence on ethical views of individuals. To examine the relationship between fairness judgments and the level of the economics education, I use a survey-type experimental design, originally developed by Gaertner (1992), in which six different situations are investigated. By carrying out the questionnaire survey among both undergraduate and graduate students of public finance, I find that a clear learning effect does not exist. However, on the other hand, I cannot conclude against the indoctrination hypothesis in favor of the self-selection hypothesis; because the study seeks only to achieve a better understanding of the learning effect. Moreover, my results suggest that personal features, parental background and future income expectations of the students are mostly not strong variables enough to affect the response patterns.
