| | While the pattern may be the same, the particular tax laws are often somewhat different so that what is taxable under the federal system is not necessarily taxable by the state and vice-versa. | | | County and local municipality taxes are established at the local level and thus often do not pattern federal or state taxes, however, these taxes must comply with both federal and state law in order to be enforceable (collectable). | | | Most states that have income, estate and gift taxes pattern these taxes after the federal tax system - if it is taxable under the federal system, it is taxable under the state system - likewise the exemptions, exclusions, and credits found in the federal system are found in the state system. |

| | Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The area of public law, in a general sense, is the law in a given legal system that concerns the legal organisation of the various branches of government and institutions of state, as well as disputes between the government and private individuals residing within the country. | | | Law is typically administered through a system of courts in which judges hear disputes between parties, and apply a set of rules in order to provide an outcome that is just and fair. | | | On a smaller level there are still regions of the world that practice canon law, which is followed by Catholics and Anglicans, and a similar legal system is used by the Eastern Orthodox Church. |

| | Such systems were rarely successful, largely because of Gresham’s law, which describes the tendency for cheaper money to drive more valuable money out of circulation. | | | Modern systems are also described as managed currencies, because the value of the currency units depends to a considerable extent on government management and policies. | | | Most monetary systems of the world at the present time, including those in Canada and the United States, are fiat systems; they do not allow free convertibility of the currency into a metallic standard, and money is given value by government fiat or edict rather than by its nominal gold or silver content. |

| | The wholesale support of usury by the legal system and the obedient acceptance of usury by the general public is exemplified by an article on the Consumers League of New Jersey website entitled "The Civil Usury Law is the Cornerstone of Consumer Protection". | | | The modern legal system also enables money lenders to repossess people's property, for instance somebody's home, if they is unable to repay a loan within the agreed time limit. | | | Yet the law in many countries permits lenders to charge interest on debts, and law enforcement agencies actively assist lenders in recovering interest owed. |

| | The Market System (Charles Lindblom) - book review |
| | And even without those, the market system would still not be efficient, because of the problem of "prior determinations", the assignment, by custom, law and historical accident, of assets and skills. | | | But market systems also have their inefficiencies: spillovers, which are significant and can't be defined away by enlarging the market; the effects of power asymmetry on market relationships and contracts (which Lindblom labels "transaction termination"); monopoly and arbitrary prices; ignorance and irrationality; inequality; and entrepreneurial motivations. | | | Lindblom looks at some qualifications to this: many market liberties are possible without the market system, enterprises are often authoritarian, and market transactions often have a degree of compulsion. |

| | EH.Net Encyclopedia: Bimetallism |
| | In Europe the debate focused on the welfare properties of bimetallism, with advocates arguing that international bimetallism - in which all countries adopted the same relative prices for gold and silver- would alleviate the problems associated with Gresham's Law, and that bimetallism would promote greater price stability than the gold standard provided. | | | In a world where the principal components of the money stock were full-bodied coins (that is, the coins circulated at roughly their intrinsic value, and there were no bank notes) bimetallic standards had the merit that they enabled currencies to have coins for high and low valued transactions without having exceptionally large or small coins. | | | The mint typically bought gold and silver freely that is, from anyone willing to sell at the mint price, which usually was slightly lower that the value of the coins produced, to pay for the costs of coining and, sometimes, profits or seignorage as well. |

| | This monetary system is very unstable: due to the fluctuation of the commercial value of the metals, the metal with a commercial value higher than the currency value tends to be used as metal and is withdrawn from circulation as money (Gresham's Law). | | | In economics, bimetallism is a monetary standard in which the value of the monetary unit can be expressed either with a certain amount of gold or with a certain amount of silver: the ratio between the two metals is fixed by law. | | | This created a conflict between those that favored inflationary policies caused by a bimetallic standard and those that favored sound money produced by a gold standard. |

| | Other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States have amended their trade-mark laws to improve upon existing laws and to respond to new trends; for example the UK and the US have made amendments to their systems to allow registration of non-traditional marks such as scents, sounds, animations and holograms. | | | With the 1953 Act, the system changed again, to allow for a person to be entitled to registrations of a trade-mark on the basis of intention to use in Canada, followed by a declaration of use prior to registration. | | | Therefore, it is considered likely that if Canada joined Madrid it would also implement the Nice system, (use of the Nice Classification system is mandatory with adherence to the TLT), and that appropriate resources would be provided by CIPO to assist agents and applicants in classifying their wares and services according to Nice. |
