Website blocking in the Czech Republic - proportionality and administrative and judicial review
Gangur, Petr ; Antoš, Marek (advisor) ; Preuss, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis deals with the question of what parameters the blocking of the Internet by the public authorities in the Czech Republic should have in order to meet the Czech and international legal obligations, and also the criteria set by the Constitutional Court and the contemporary doctrinal knowledge. It transforms the found parameters into a constitutionally compliant model of blocking, then evaluates the legal regulation in the Czech Republic according to this model and at the same time looks at the contemporary problems of the Czech legal regulation of blocking in a quantitative perspective. The constitutional model of blocking itself is materialized in two separate tests, the preliminary test and the continuous test. The ten-step preliminary test evaluates both the blocking legislation and the administrative process of blocking individual sites. It thus serves as a basic assessment of the compliance of legislation and legal practice with the requirements imposed by the human rights catalogues that apply to the Czech Republic. The continuous test, which consists of four steps, aims to continuously monitor the necessity of blocking websites, while at least the first two steps of the test can be automatized to a certain extent. The thesis highlights the substantial problems accompanying the...

United States Supreme Court case law on campaign finance
Vagenknecht, Milan Kristian ; Antoš, Marek (advisor) ; Jirásková, Věra (referee)
United States Supreme Court case law on campaign finance The diploma thesis deals with the development of US Supreme Court case law on the issue of electoral campaign finance while paying special attention to the question of the constitutionality of expenditure and contribution limits. Its main goal is to provide a comprehensive analysis of these cases to demonstrate how regulation of campaign finance works there, which is considerably different from systems found not only in the Czech Republic but also in Europe. At the same time, the author focuses primarily on providing insight into the more recent part of American case law, which has significantly loosened the whole regulatory system, especially regarding the financial participation of legal entities in electoral campaigns. The author divides the work into four parts. In the first part, the reader is introduced to the basic institutes and concepts that relate to the American campaign finance law and then compares them with their Czech counterparts in order to facilitate the understanding of the following three parts, which already cover the concrete cases. In particular, it analyzes various concepts of corruption. This part also deals with de lege ferenda issues, i.e., the effectiveness of the financial limits imposed on candidates that run for...

Trunda, Jakub ; Antoš, Marek (advisor) ; Grinc, Jan (referee)
1 Contemplated reforms of the U.S. presidential election Abstract This diploma thesis is dedicated to the U.S. presidential election, specifically the greatest attention is paid to the electoral system called the electoral college which is used during the election. The text of my thesis relates to the US presidential election which is generally a very extensive topic therefore it is not possible to analyze in detail all the individual aspects of the process and thus provide a complete thorough analysis within this thesis. As a result of this, my aim is to briefly present the historical development of the electoral college along with its current functioning during the election process of the President of the United States. Subsequently, I am going to focus closely on potential reforms of the presidential elections that could significantly contribute to the improvement of the entire process of selecting (electing) the president of the United States. This thesis is divided into three consecutive parts, each part is then divided into several individual chapters. In the first part I am discussing the main historical reasons leading the founding father of the United States to adopt the current presidential electoral system and I am also focusing on its early discovered insufficiencies which had been corrected by...

Funding of Political Parties: An International comparison
Martinek, Jan ; Antoš, Marek (advisor) ; Jirásková, Věra (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to compare the current legal regulations of political party funding across selected EU countries and to formulate de lege ferenda proposals, based on the "good practice" in these countries, for the construction of state contributions and for the regulation of private financing of political parties in the Czech Republic. The author first presents the basic problems related to public and private financing of political parties. He describes how the financing of political parties has changed over time, what are the advantages and disadvantages of private and public financing, what principles govern both approaches to financing, and how to find a balance between them. While private funding has existed in various forms for as long as political parties, the origins of public funding in Europe date back to the 1950s. The share of public funding in political parties' income has gradually increased, which has reduced many of the problems associated with private funding, and often contributed to more equal electoral chances, but on the other hand, new problems have emerged, in theory associated, for example, with the concept of the cartel party. In the second part of the thesis, the author compares the current legal regulation of public and private financing of political parties in...

Proportionality of the electoral system for the Chamber of Deputies
Kohlová, Barbora ; Antoš, Marek (advisor) ; Horák, Filip (referee)
Proportionality of the electoral system for the Chamber of Deputies Abstract Proportional system allocates to a party a percentage of seats equal to the percentage of the votes received in the election. Because of the indivisibility of seats and in the interest of the functionality of the elected body, full proportionality can never be achieved. However, its level can be significantly influenced by manipulating the variables of the electoral system. Because of the contradiction with the principles of proportional representation and the principle of equality required by the Constitution the Constitutional Court in its decision Pl. ÚS 44/2017 just eight months before the elections, it repealed important provisions of the Act on Elections to the Parliament of the Czech Republic, in particular the electoral formula and the additive closing clause for coalitions. Due to the upcoming elections to the Chamber of Deputies, Parliament was forced to quickly adopt a compromising amendment. The main goal of this thesis is to determine whether this amendment, adopted as Act No. 189/2021 Coll., which replaced the existing D'Hondt method with a non-traditional Imperiali quota and introduced a second, nationwide, scrutiny to redistribute the remaining votes, fulfilled the requirements of the Constitutional Court and...

Functional Analysis of Values and Axioms in Constitutional LegalArgumentation
Horák, Filip ; Antoš, Marek (advisor) ; Reschová, Jana (referee) ; Sobek, Tomáš (referee)
Functional Analysis of Values and Axioms in Constitutional Legal Argumentation Abstract The present dissertation thesis deals with the use of values and axioms in constitutional legal argumentation. Its aim is to provide a theoretical and analytical framework for the study of this issue based on the functional rather than content perspective. Thus, the work focuses not on what the examined individual constitutional values, i.e., equality, freedom, justice, and dignity, mean substantively, but rather on the way in which these constructs are used in constitutional legal argumentation. This approach, in contrast to the content approach, makes it possible to look at the researched issues in a universal way, and thus leads to generalizable conclusions, independent of the specific cultural, historical, political, or ideological context of individual states or regions. Said theoretical and analytical functional framework works with three criteria (variables), namely content width, argumentative power, and applicability before courts, whereby it can classify any occurrence of any of the four analyzed constructs in constitutional legal argumentation as one of three basic or one of eleven hybrid functions. The basic functions are a) relative individual law, b) objective value, and c) source of human rights. The...
