A Comparison of Prisoners' Voting Rights Legislation in Europe
Rozman, Jakub ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Čapek, Jakub (referee)
This work illustrates, in both theoretical and practical terms, the tension between the standard of democratic establishment in the form of universal suffrage and, on the other hand, the exclusion of certain groups, in this case prisoners, from the electoral process. The right to free choice is the essence of a democratic society, and any limitation to it naturally raises questions seeking appropriate justification. While the weight of an individual's voice throughout society is insignificant, and only in rare cases can an individual or a small group influence the final outcome, the right to vote also serves another function - it is a symbol of a person's status in society as a citizen. The restrictive notion of prisoners' suffrage has its roots in the antiquated concept of "civil death" and typically makes a counterfactual argument. But society has gradually undergone fundamental changes, and modern justifications are being demanded. Legal punishment is the natural implication of committing a crime, but what must a person commit in order to have his or her citizenship temporarily or forever diminished in liberal democracies that espouse values such as equality, inclusiveness, and the right to self- determination?

Czech women from the lower classes at the turn of the 20th century. Self-concept, goals, successes.
Landsmannová, Anna ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Koura, Petr (referee)
1 ABSTRACT This report discusses Czech lower-class women at the turn of the nineteenth century with a special focus on their self-concept, goals and accomplishments. The main sources used for the examination of these aspects were the issues of three women's magazines, namely "Ženské listy", "Ženský svět" a "Ženský list", from 1901 to 1905. The report predominantly concerns women who were producing literary sources, particularly workwomen. Due to the lack of literary sources created by certain lower-class woman groups, such as prostitutes, beggarwomen and midwives, these groups were only discussed briefly. To contextualise the situation of Czech women at the turn of the nineteenth century, the report also outlines women's emancipation movements from the second half of the nineteenth century until the establishment of Czechoslovakia, particularly focusing on the period of 1897-1907. The result of the juxtaposition of the three sources, each concentrating on a different aspect of womanhood, provides a comprehensive overview of the situation of poor women from this period. The socialist magazine "Ženský list" was the most useful source for the research of lower-class woman self-concept and goals. It helped identify that most efforts of lower-class women were directed at the adjustment of woman and child work...
