Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes a debate that occurred in the 18th century in the Republic of Geneva regarding the role of the Syndics, the highest magistrates, in criminal trials. Specifically, the debate focused on whether the Syndics were the only ones qualified to preside over criminal tribunals and whether their presence was necessary for a tribunal to be legitimate. The author examines the arguments of both sides, analyzing how they were rooted in different interpretations of the Genevan constitution and legal code. The author concludes that the debate reveals fundamental questions about the nature of republican government, the separation of powers, and the rights of citizens.
