The document discusses the dissolution of Congress in Peru by President Martín Vizcarra and the legal challenges to that action. It analyzes a competence action filed with the Constitutional Court by the head of the Permanent Commission challenging the constitutionality of the dissolution decree. It also discusses amparo demands filed by two former congressmembers seeking to be reinstated. Experts say the competence action faces procedural hurdles but the Court could admit it. They also say the amparo demands are unlikely to succeed as being a congressmember is not an absolute right. The constitutionality of the dissolution would need to be addressed first.
Writ Jurisdiction and Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in BangladeshAhasan Uddin Bhuiyan
Writ Jurisdiction is the instrument for enforcement of fundamental rights. A writ is only permitted when the defendant has no other adequate remedy, such as an appeal.
For the enforcement of fundamental rights one has to move the Supreme Court or the High Courts directly by invoking Writ Jurisdiction of these courts. But the high cost and complicated procedure involved in litigation, however, makes equal access to jurisdiction in mere slogan in respect of millions of destitute and underprivileged masses stricken by poverty, illiteracy and ignorance. The Supreme Court of India, pioneered the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) thereby throwing upon the portals of courts to the common man.
As a part of my academic activities, I’ve completed this assignment on writ jurisdictions and Public Interest Litigation (PIL) .
This letter from Jacob Zuma objects to the Constitutional Court's directive for him to file an affidavit addressing sanction for contempt of court. Zuma argues that the directive is a sham to legitimize the court's decision, which was made without hearing him. He refuses to file the affidavit on grounds of conscientious objection, citing concerns over lack of a fair hearing and deprivation of his constitutional rights by the court. Zuma believes the court has overstepped its jurisdiction and is biased in supporting politically-motivated narratives against him from the Zondo Commission.
The document discusses when writs can be issued for breach of contract under Indian law. The Supreme Court and High Courts have writ jurisdiction to issue writs against the State. Writs generally cannot be issued in purely contractual matters between private parties unless there is a public element involved. Writs may be issued if the State acts arbitrarily or violates principles of natural justice in contractual matters. Case law examples are provided where writs have both been issued and not issued in contractual disputes with the State.
This document summarizes concerns regarding Colombia's implementation of recommendations from the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial executions following a 2009 visit. [1] Security forces continue to directly violate the right to life, with at least 70 such killings registered in 2010 alone. [2] The military justice system continues to investigate extrajudicial execution cases and lacks collaboration with civilian courts. [3] Proposed constitutional reforms risk increasing impunity by expanding the military justice system's jurisdiction over human rights crimes.
This presentation is an attempt to explain the colourable legislation in a simple language with the limitations on it and supported by the landmark cases delivered by the apex court.
The document discusses Article 32 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees citizens the fundamental right to constitutional remedies. It establishes the writ of habeas corpus, one of five writs the Supreme Court and high courts can issue to protect fundamental rights. Habeas corpus writs require authorities to produce detained individuals and justify their detention, and courts can order releases for unlawful detentions. The document provides details on the meaning and use of habeas corpus in India to challenge excessive bail terms and conditions that limit personal liberty.

This document discusses different types of writs that can be issued by the Supreme Court and High Courts in India under Articles 32 and 226 of the Constitution. It explains the five main writs - habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, and quo warranto. Habeas corpus orders the production of a detained person, mandamus commands a public duty to be performed, prohibition forbids lower courts from acting beyond their jurisdiction, certiorari transfers a case to correct errors of law, and quo warranto restrains unlawful holding of public office. The document also distinguishes between public interest litigation, which relaxes the rules of standing to protect public rights, and private interest litigation which enforces private remedies.

The Chief Justice heard arguments from the State regarding a public interest litigation concerning banners placed in Lucknow with personal details of over 50 individuals accused of vandalism.
The State argued the Court did not have jurisdiction and the banners served the public interest of deterring unlawful behavior. However, the Court found no law permitted disclosing personal details and this violated privacy rights under Article 21 of the Constitution.
While the State can maintain law and order, it cannot violate fundamental rights. The banners interfered with privacy without statutory backing. Privacy is a fundamental right in India, recognized globally and integral to human dignity. Therefore, the Court ruled the banners must be removed.

It also examines systems for handling complaints against judges in the United States, including the use of judicial councils. The document concludes by calling for reflection on devising a fair and impartial system in India to address complaints while upholding judicial independence.
The document discusses the different types of writs under the Indian Constitution. It defines a writ as a formal order issued by a sovereign authority commanding an act. The Constitution empowers the Supreme Court and High Courts to issue writs for enforcing fundamental rights. The main writs discussed are habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, and quo-warranto. Habeas corpus orders the production of a detained person. Mandamus commands a public duty to be performed. Prohibition stops lower courts exceeding their jurisdiction. Certiorari transfers a case to a higher court. Quo-warranto restrains unlawful holding of public office. Case studies are provided to illustrate applications of each writ.
This document summarizes the different types of writs available under the Indian Constitution. It discusses writs of habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, and quo-warranto.
Habeas corpus allows a court to order a detaining authority to produce an arrested person to examine if their detention is lawful. Mandamus is an order commanding a public official to perform their official duty. Prohibition, also called a 'stay order', stops lower courts from exceeding their jurisdiction. Certiorari allows higher courts to review decisions of lower courts for legal errors. Quo-warranto challenges a person's authority to hold public office.
Judicial remedies are means by which a court enforces rights and imposes penalties. There are two main types of judicial remedies available in Uganda:
1. Prerogative orders (mandamus, prohibition, certiorari) which address improper exercises of power by public authorities. They compel authorities to fulfill duties, prevent unlawful actions, or nullify unlawful decisions.
2. Ordinary orders which include injunctions to stop unlawful acts, declaratory judgments to clarify legal positions, damages in limited cases, habeas corpus to remedy illegal detention, and judicial review which allows courts to review the legality of decisions based on grounds like illegality, irrationality, and procedural impropriety. Judicial review ensures public authorities follow

This document discusses the concept of judicial review in India. It defines judicial review as the power of courts to review laws enacted by the legislature and declare them unconstitutional. It outlines that judicial review originated in the US and was later incorporated into the Indian constitution. The document discusses important cases where judicial review was exercised in India and explains that the power helps maintain the balance of federalism and protect fundamental rights. It also lists the relevant constitutional provisions and scope of judicial review in India.
The document discusses writ jurisdiction under the Indian Constitution. It notes that the Supreme Court can issue writs against any person or government within India's territory and can do so to enforce fundamental rights as writ jurisdiction is itself a fundamental right. In contrast, High Courts can issue writs against those residing or governments located within their territorial jurisdiction or if the cause of action arises there, and they have discretion around enforcing fundamental rights. The document also outlines the different types of writs - habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, and quo-warranto - and provides details on when each can be issued and against whom.
Judicial review is a process that allows courts to review administrative decisions and determine their legality. It differs from an appeal, which considers the merits of the decision rather than just its legality. There are three main grounds for judicial review: illegality, irrationality, and procedural impropriety. The procedure for judicial review involves applying for leave from the High Court and then a full hearing if leave is granted. If successful, remedies include prerogative orders like mandamus, prohibition, and certiorari that compel or prevent actions or quash decisions.

A law practitioner should know the following matter; What is law? Where is law? How to find out the law? Where you should go to find out the better remedy? How to read the law? Law should be read repeatedly. How to apply the law? And in order to practice the civil matter, a law practitioner should go through the following laws:
1. The Code of Civil Procedure.
2. Civil Rules and Orders.
3. Civil Suits Instruction Manual.
4. The Civil Court Act.
5. The Court Fees Act.
6. The Suit Valuation Act.
1. The principles of natural justice aim to ensure fairness in decision making and include the rules against bias and the right to be heard.
2. The rule against bias requires adjudicators to be neutral and avoid personal interests or prejudices, while the right to be heard includes adequate notice and the opportunity to respond to allegations.
3. Courts have applied natural justice flexibly depending on context but uphold its fundamental importance, intervening only when a failure results in substantive unfairness.
This document discusses the principles of natural justice and a fair legal process. It outlines two main principles: 1) Both sides must be heard, also called audi alteram partem, and 2) No man shall be a judge in his own cause. It also discusses the requirements for a fair legal process, including giving notice, allowing each side to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses, and having an impartial judge or tribunal make the decision. The overall message is that natural justice and a fair legal process require impartiality, fairness for both sides, and following proper judicial procedures.

Background
Throughout the more than two centuries since the ratification of the US Constitution, there have been “schools” of thinking about how it should be interpreted. In other words, groups of political thinkers and judges have tried to think of principles that should guide judges as they exercise this great power to interpret, or say whether a law conforms with, the US Constitution. More conservative judges tend to argue that the text of the Constitution and the previous legal decisions of the Court, or precedents, are the only things that should guide decisions. More liberal judges argue that one can not literally apply the text of the Constitution to modern cases. There is so much happening now that the Framers did not discuss or could have possibly anticipated. Thus, one must take into account broader issues when interpreting. The Constitution must be allowed to evolve with the times, and the Court must consider the public good in their interpretations.
One court case in particular highlighted the debate of original and evolving meaning in the interpretation of the Constitution --
Griswold v. Connecticut
(1965). The state of Connecticut had a law from 1879 that prohibited couples, even married couples, from using contraceptives and physicians from prescribing them. Estelle Griswold opened a Planned Parenthood clinic in Connecticut which offered contraceptive devices to women. It was promptly shut down. She appealed to the US Supreme Court and won the right to distribute contraceptives.
The majority of judges, 7-2, argued in their opinions that the women who received the contraceptives had a “right to marital privacy.” While the word “privacy” does not appear in the Constitution, the majority argued that the penumbra, the shadow cast or the implied meanings, in the 9th
Amendment, as well as other parts of the Constitution, protected people in their persons (and in their marital intimacy) from state intrusion, something Connecticut had done with this law. The minority judges responded that the majority was simply making up law. The opinions of the justices in
Griswold
demonstrate the constant debate of original and evolving meaning in the US Constitution.

10 incredibly ironic flaws you can find in our constitutionohjhaly
1. The Philippine Constitution contains loopholes that have allowed political dynasties to continue and have prevented citizens from initiating constitutional amendments directly. There are no enabling laws to implement anti-dynasty provisions or laws governing citizens' initiative.
2. The Constitution vaguely defines Congress's power to amend it and does not specify if votes should be joint or separate. It also does not address if Congress should convene as a constituent assembly. This has prevented constitutional amendments.
3. Other loopholes include provisions allowing presidents to be "reelected" by running again after resigning, limitations that have made the Commission on Human Rights a "lame duck" agency, and impeachment processes that can be abused through weak complaints.
IPC 497 quashed-WRIT PETITION (CRIMINAL) NO. 194 OF 2017 Joseph Shine …Petitioner(s) VERSUS Union of India …Respondent(s) J U D G M E N T uploaded by T james Joseph Adhikarathil
The document discusses the concept of justiciability and the limits of judicial power. It provides examples from Philippine Supreme Court cases where the court had to determine if certain issues fell within its power to rule on (justiciability) or not. The court found that it has the authority to determine its own scope of power and whether the other branches of government are acting within constitutional limits. For an issue to be justiciable, it must involve constitutional standards that are subject to judicial scrutiny rather than purely matters of policy.
The Colombian Commission of Jurists argues that the Colombian government and General Prosecutor's Office have overstepped their constitutional authority in regulating victim participation in legal proceedings under Law 975, which establishes rules for demobilized paramilitaries. Decree 315 and Resolution 3998 impose limitations not present in Law 975 or mandated by the Constitutional Court. The Commission requested the Prosecutor's Office refrain from enforcing these norms but was denied. In regulating judicial processes, other state institutions are disregarding the Constitution's supremacy and denying victims their rights to truth and justice.
This document discusses the constitutional complaint as a procedural and legal instrument for protecting constitutional rights. It provides background on the origins and development of the constitutional complaint. Specifically, it traces the concept back to principles of judicial review in the US and amparo legal traditions in Spain. It also discusses how the modern concept drew from Hans Kelsen's ideas and was normatively portrayed in Austria's 1920 Constitution. The document notes that constitutional complaints are treated differently in continental European legal systems as an exceptional recourse that can only be used after exhausting all other legal methods of rights protection.
The Supreme Court of Justice in Colombia is taking steps to investigate links between politicians and paramilitary groups ("parapolitics"). In two recent decisions, the Court asserted its competence to investigate current and former members of Congress for these links. First, it ruled that crimes related to accepting support from paramilitary groups are still under the Court's jurisdiction even if the politician leaves office. Second, the Court proposed that such politicians could be considered members of paramilitary leadership and thus responsible for crimes against humanity by those groups, even without directly committing the crimes themselves. These rulings aim to hold politicians accountable for alleged collaboration with illegal armed groups.

The document provides an in-depth overview of the due process clause of the 5th and 14th Amendments to the US Constitution. It discusses that due process originated from the Magna Carta and requires the government to follow fair procedures before depriving someone of life, liberty, or property. The document also examines key Supreme Court cases that have interpreted and expanded due process rights. It analyzes the debate around substantive versus procedural due process and the impact of due process in protecting individual rights and limiting government overreach.
The establishment of a judiciary with the power of constitutional review — determining whether government actions comply with the constitution’s provisions — is now considered a standard component of a democracy. It is increasingly common to entrust the power of constitutional review to a specialised constitutional court that can issue authoritative decisions on the constitutionality of laws and government actions and can interpret the constitution’s provisions.
A constitutional court can play many important roles, including reviewing the constitutionality of legislation, protecting individual rights, providing a forum for the resolution of disputes in a federal system, enforcing the separation of powers, certifying election results, and assessing the legality of political parties.
Establishing a court with the power to review the constitutionality of laws and government actions provides political parties and groups with a form of “insurance” for future scenarios in which they may not be in government and want to make sure that a government formed by their opponents acts within the limits of the constitution. A constitutional court is a means of institutionalising the commitment made by all parties when drafting the constitution to abide by its provisions. Furthermore, foreign investors often regard an independent and well-functioning judiciary as a sign of a country’s stability and investment potential. There are many options in designing a constitutional court, yet some recommendations can be made on a number of key design questions:
This document discusses the concepts of judicial restraint and judicial activism. It provides examples of how judicial activism has manifested in important Supreme Court cases in the United States that have advanced civil rights and reinterpreted laws and the constitution. It also discusses how judicial activism emerged in India through public interest litigation, which has expanded the judiciary's role in public administration.

Dicey's three aspects of rule of law: 1) no punishment without clear breach of law, 2) equality before the law regardless of status, and 3) judicial decisions protect individual rights. It then analyzes how well Malaysia upholds these aspects, noting issues like preventive detention laws and different court systems for different religious groups. The document also examines Joseph Raz's additional principles of rule of law and whether Malaysian law complies, finding issues like allowing some retrospective laws and limiting judicial review powers.
This document summarizes key case law doctrines in political law from a Philippines Supreme Court case. It discusses that:
1) The Philippines Constitution does not define or restrict marriage based on sex, gender, sexual orientation. It can accommodate a contemporary understanding of these concepts.
2) The Supreme Court has the power of judicial review to determine if other branches of government have abused their discretion or acted beyond their jurisdiction. However, it can only rule on actual cases and controversies, not hypothetical situations.
3) Parties bringing a case must have legal standing, meaning a personal interest affected by the case, not just an interest in the general issues. The Court does not provide advisory opinions or rule on abstract questions

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

Introduction
Where was the dissolution of this political event? When was the dissolution of the
congress? Why did this happen? Who was the one who dissolved the congress?
How often does this happen? And what will happen and its possible consequences?
All these questions will have their answers in this essay, since we all live in this
country, we buy things (for our subsistence), we drink water because we are human
beings, we eat healthy and unhealthy food, we study at the university, we all have
You understand this to be able to analyze it and in the end teach it to other people.
This is an essay on a case that happens on the national reality and it will be
addressed using it using the grammar rules of English together with unit 3 of the
syllabus.

Desarrollo
This last thursday, the president of the permanent commission, Pedro Olaechea,
filed with the Constitutional Court an appeal that requires the return of Parliament
after its dissolution. The demand, which is technically called “competition action,”
seeks to declare the decree issued by the Government of Martín Vizcarra
unconstitutional, which formalized the partial closure of the Legislature and the call
for new congressional elections.
A few days before, Marisol Espinoza y Ángel Neyra, two former members of the
dissolved Congress of the Republic, processed their respective amparo demands
before the Judicial power with the same purpose of reversing the provision and being
reassigned as legislators.
While these resources would run against time, as the election of a new Congress is
already scheduled for January 26, 2020, they would also face other obstacles of
form and substance to prosper. This was explained by three constitutionalists
consulted by RPP News.
4. pág. 4
1. Is admitting the competence demand at the will of the Constitutional Court?
On the possibility that the Constitutional Court attends the competition action there
is a specialized controversy. Some law analysts point out that it should not be
admitted because the Constitutional Procedural Code in its article 109, paragraph 3
establishes that these demands need to have the support of the collegiate institution
as a whole, which in this case would be the deactivated Plenary Session of the
Congress.
For the Master in Constitutional Law Erika García Cobián Castro, the origin of the
competence demand “would be subject to debate” and, even if admitted, would have
little chance of prospering. “There is the discussion of whether to admit it or not
because, strictly speaking, the Permanent Commission does not have the power to,
on its own, authorize the start of a competence process. Then there is the underlying
issue, which isto analyze whether the dissolution was constitutional. If it is concluded
that yes, consequently the demand would be declared unfounded”.
The constitutionalist and Doctor of Law Luis Castillo Córdova argues that, although
the admissibility of the competition action has rigid rules, the Constitutional Court
could make an exception. “Here it will depend on what consideration the
Constitutional Court has: If it becomes very strict, it will reject it flatly. If, on the
contrary, he believes that the situation merits his pronouncement, he will interpret
that the Permanent Commission is a substitute for Parliament and will admit it. That
interpretation, from the legal point of view, would be very stretched, very forced, but
these are not normal times and the Court may end up admitting it, which is not the
same as declaring it founded because that is later”.

On the other hand, Violeta Bermúdez Valdivia, master in Constitutional Law,
indicates that a regulatory vacuum such as the one that exists (in which the
Permanent Commissionof a Congress dissolved is not allowed to present competing
actions) cannot take the Constitutional Court to flatly reject such a particular case. “I
believe that, in every democratic State of Law, there must always be the opportunity
to review a decision as transcendent as the dissolution of a Congress. We should
not reach the absurdity of a power taking a position and nobody can question it
because we prefer to be formalists. Rather, we should bet that the most competent
body, which is the Constitutional Court, be pronounced - unfavorably or unfavorably,
but settling. If we were formalists, we would also say that there was no concrete
communication of the denial of trust and that, therefore, the conditions required for
dissolution were not met, when there are points on both sidesthat can be evaluated”.
Bermúdez expresses that, in this specific scenario, “the norm has fallen short” and
believes that this controversy should merit a future modification that gives the
Permanent Commission an objection when the Congress is dissolved.
The competence demand is, as a rule, an appeal that is filed before the
Constitutional Court in order for it to define whether or not a defendant body or power
exceeded its constitutional powers after a certain act.
2. Amparo and its (few) possibilities
6. pág. 6
the former legislators Marisol Espinoza and Ángel Neyra already resorted to the
ordinary justice for the suitor his replacement as parliamentarians. According to the
content of Neyra's demand, the modification was "unconstitutional" and affected the
rights to political participation and the work of congressmen by a "unconstitutional"
cut of their mandates.
Consulted by this means, the former president of the Constitutional Court César
Landa Arroyo explained that every person can file an amparo demand if he considers
that his constitutional rights have been violated. However, he clarified that there are
no "absolute rights", so not all protection is always appropriate. “The rights can be
limited or suspended by law when it has a constitutionally legitimate purpose and the
restriction is reasonable and proportional. According to article 134 of the Constitution
which empowers the president to dissolve Congress after two denials of trust, the
right of congressmen who are elected to fulfill a mandate can be legitimately
affected”.
For Violeta Bermúdez, an amparo demand for violation of rights would not have room
for discussion in this case. “It would be inadmissible. From the constitutional point of
view, there is no absolute right to be a congressman. And, in the aspect of the right
to political participation, its exercise has rules and possibilities. Article 5, first
paragraph, of the Constitutional Procedural Code would be applied, which states
that they do not proceed when the facts are not directly referred to the constitutionally
protected content of the right invoked. The dissolved congressmen have exercised
and participated, but that participation has other elements around, such as
7. pág. 7
suspension, sanction, lawlessness and these are rules that are known when
applying. Another of the assumptions that are known is that of dissolution as a
presidential faculty in a given scenario”. The specialist also states that it could not
be claimed that the damage was personal. "The dissolution did not directly serve to
affect a certain congressman."
Marisol Espinoza and Ángel Neyra filed their amparo demand before constitutional
courts of the Superior Court of Justice of Lima.
Castillo Córdova agrees in the reading: “Yes, Indeed there was a cut in the congress
period and this limited the expectations of the congressmen. However, a limitation
like this is not, in principle, unconstitutional because the previous act was carried out
invoking the Constitution. In any case, that previous act that of the post-interpretation
dissolution of the second denial of trust would have to be identified and qualified as
unconstitutional so that we can only consider that an aggression against the
fundamental rights of the congressmen was configured.”
It should be noted that the demand for amparo is a very personal resource. This
means that a possible favorable ruling could only benefit the plaintiff who won the
process. Therefore, a hypothetical replacement would only be applied to Espinoza,
Neyra or both, but it could not be immediately extended to the group of dissolved
congressmen. “The amparo has effects for each individual case. If one were
declared founded, it could generate a sort of constitutional jurisprudence that would
intervene in other possible cases, but it is not that there is an immediate automatic
8. pág. 8
application for all similar cases without individual demand involved”, explains García
Cobián Castro.
Another detail to consider is that the amparo process, like any judicial process,
becomes firm when it exhausts, at least, the two judicial instances. Before a double
rejection of the claim, the plaintiff can insist via Constitutional Court, with a
grievance appeal.
Everything would lead to evaluate (first) the constitutionality of the dissolution.
While the procedures of each appeal are carried out in parallel, some of the
specialists consulted report that it would be convenient for the constitutional judges
of the Court of Lima - since it received the amparo demands - await a pronouncement
of the maximum entity of constitutional interpretation, which is the TC. This, if it
comes to admit, analyze and resolve the competence action presented by Olaechea.
“From my point of view, it would be pointless to resolve an amparo if, in addition, a
competing demand has been filed. What, in any case, is questioned is whether the
dissolution was framed in the Constitution. And that is a debate that has a more
institutional background than individual”, believes the constitutionalist Violeta
Bermúdez Valdivia.
9. pág. 9
According to the lawyer Luis Castillo Córdova, if the competence demand is admitted
for processing, it is convenient that the Judiciary be kept to the expectation. “Yes, it
can be considered a practical convenience to suspend the amparo process pending
the decision of the TC. But as long as that does not happen, the constitutional judge
should focus on knowing the amparos presented.”
Conclusions
We already know that the dissolution of the congress took place in the country of
Peru, this event took place on September 30, 2019, it had to happen to end
corruption, this dissolution was made by the president of the republic Martin Vizcarra
Cornejo, this It is the first time that has happened in our country, we already know
that the future will bring us new congressional elections (new congressmen) and this
will possibly have an impact on the economy, but on a macroeconomic scale.
Knowing this we can already understand everything about the dissolution of the
congress, and in the first part we can be calm since according to the analysts this
was given according to the political constitution of Peru, it already depends on the
dissolved congressmen to accept it and also on We will go to the polls on January
26 next year.
Understanding this essay is to clarify the use at all times of the grammatical rules of
English and also the use of unit 3 of the English syllabus as we find a work of that
size.
