This instructor's guide assists secondary social studies educators in making effective use of the five-part video series, "That Delicate Balance II: Our Bill of Rights." In the tradition of "The Constitution: That Delicate Balance," the series introduces students to the Bill of Rights and the controversies that have arisen over these rights. Led by moderators using the Socratic method of inquiry, the series features panels of experts engaging in lively debate about the constitutional, ethical, and social issues arising from a number of hypothetical scenarios. The programs enrich secondary civics, government, and history courses that examine the Constitution, Bill of Rights, civil liberties, or contemporary issues. The instructor's guide opens with a summary of the topics of the five units in the series. The unit topics are Roe v. Wade; the First Amendment and hate speech; a rape trial; equality and the individual; and criminal justice, from murder to execution. A section on each unit provides teachers with an overview of the issue presented, background materials that teachers may copy and distribute to their class, and discussion questions based on these materials that students can debate prior to viewing the video. Each section likewise presents discussion questions for the class to debate following the video as well as suggestions for further research, reports, and essays. At the back of the guide, teachers are provided with a convenient list of teaching resources related to the Bill of Rights. (JD)

Wealthy middle-aged couple Agnes and Tobias have their complacency shattered when their longtime friends Harry and Edna appear at their doorstep.

Few aspects of revenue law generate stronger feelings than the exercise of discretionary power by tax administrations. A delicate balance often needs to be struck between the legitimate needs of revenue authorities and the equally legitimate interests and rights of taxpayers. On the one hand, the executive and administration need to have sufficient capacity to apply the law; on the other, there is a need to maintain the principle of the rule of law that it is the elected legislature, and not the executive or tax administration, that establishes tax burdens. The chapters in this volume explore that delicate balance. The Delicate Balance - Tax, Discretion and the Rule of Law considers the critical questions that arise from the intersections of tax, discretion and the rule of law in modern common and civil law jurisdictions: What do we mean by tax discretion and how does it vary in conceptual and practical terms in different tax regimes? -What role should discretion play in tax systems that operate under the rule of law and how large should that role be? -What are the legal, political, institutional and other constraints that can prevent abuse of discretion? -To what extent can, and should, the legislature safely delegate discretionary powers to tax administrations?
