This book is a collection of the scholastic works of Noah Garver in the years 2020-21. In these papers Garver questions foundational elements of different components of how a state operates, both within a judicial context, and also within the context of our wider economic understanding. This book seeks to rethink certain aspects of state functioning that may have been neglected in the past. The papers included in this work are: Fact-Value Confusion Driving Methodological Error in Macroeconomic Theory; The Genealogy of Natural Law; The Philosophical Values of Sentencing and Alberta's Approach to Starting Point Sentences; and The Lack of Coherent Principles in Section 10 Jurisprudence. Each aims at finding an assumptive gap within the previous literature and examine different ways of evaluting assumed principles.
