Read a random definition: long cause

A quick definition of Pan-American Convention:

Term: PAN-AMERICAN CONVENTION

Definition: The Pan-American Convention was a series of meetings where countries in North, Central, and South America got together to talk about copyright laws. They wanted to make sure that artists and writers were protected and that their work couldn't be copied without permission. The first meeting was in 1902 and the last one was in 1946. The biggest meeting was in 1910 in Buenos Aires.

A more thorough explanation:

The Pan-American Convention is a series of copyright conventions that were held among Western Hemisphere countries to negotiate treaties based on the Berne Convention. The first convention was held in 1902, and the last one was held in 1946. The largest convention was the 1910 Pan American Convention in Buenos Aires.

For example, the 1910 Pan American Convention in Buenos Aires was attended by representatives from 13 countries in the Americas. They discussed and negotiated copyright laws and regulations that would be applied across the region. This convention helped to establish a framework for copyright protection in the Americas.

The Pan-American Convention was important because it helped to establish a common set of copyright laws and regulations across the Americas. This made it easier for creators and publishers to protect their intellectual property and to do business across borders. It also helped to promote cultural exchange and collaboration among countries in the region.

@Dkk: Fair enough, but if you're using political philosophy to defend Trump, it's hard to reconcile him as a candidate with very relevant classic political theory, like Locke's individual rights and limited government as illustrated in the 2nd treatise, or the constitutional framework limiting executive power (e.g., Federalist 51). Trump's disregard for constitutional checks and populist rhetoric directly is in tension with our very foundational principles.

@texaslawhopefully: Psssh I would not use gender relations as a way to defend Trump. He does not go that route and I think literally him and everyone in their cabinet has no idea what those are. I mean, just look at how many divorces Elon and Trump have had.

Nah, I did not vote. I have never voted in my life because I have a lot of issues with it. 4 years ago my mom filled out my ballot for me because she wanted to but I do not vote.

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: Out of curiosity, since you're in law school and prolly know fedsoc people, how conservative do you think you have to be to be in fedsoc? Like is a david french sort of conservative fairly common in it, or is it the maga type people mainly
i dont interact with any fedsoc people, but i dont know any maga people at cornell. but the student body overwhelmingly leans left, so i think they might not be comfortable showing that theyre conservative if that makes sense?
one time a guy kind of crashed out about masks in conlaw
but that's the most ive seen

Yeah, that does make sense. I would like to join fedsoc, but I'm also, clearly, very opposed to Trump and where the GOP has gone.
if you join fedsoc and go for clerking and eventually become a judge. you will be pinholed into maga politics as long as maga is the predominant conservative stance
Idk if @irishdinosaur is online but congrats on UCLA!!
