Is this really Latin or pseudo-Latin? The "w" is is a Middle ages innovation, isn't it? Jorge Stolfi 14:38, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you provide a reference for this? Further, is this globally accepted medieval Latin, or just an English version? (For natural reasons, the medieval Latin used in different countries was not identical, with greater variations than in various country-specific versions of modern English.)88.77.140.207 (talk) 15:02, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Old discussions

message: With U.S. independence sovereignty passed from the monarch to the people, and with it the right and authority of every individual to seek the prerogative writs, such as quo warranto and habeas corpus, "in the name of the people", for oneself or any other. It is called "prerogative" because a court of competent jurisdiction has no discretion whether to issue them, only to set the response for a hearing, usually within 3-20 days, to hear,  ahead of all other cases on its docket, the proof of the respondent that he has authority, and to support the respondent if he provides sufficient proof. By the ancient standard of due process, if the court failed to conduct the hearing, the writ would issue by default without further notice, and could be enforced by any persons as militia. 
In the New York Ratification Convention, amendments were proposed to the new Constitution that included one that would recognize the right of every person to bring the prerogative writs "in the name of the people". This right, which may be characterised as the right to a presumption of nonauthority, was apparently considered so obvious by James Madison and others that he combined it with others to become the Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

thread_title:  Unsourced and dubious 

message: I've already reverted the addition of this information twice, but I'll set out my reasoning in more detail here. This is an article on the quo warranto writ/legal proceeding. It does not need a listing of every time one has been filed, even for someone prominent like Obama. Even if it did, as the information is presented, it's not really discussing the legal proceeding, it's discussing Obama and Chrysler, and thus would be much better served in articles somewhere else. Here, it's WP:COATRACK and WP:UNDUE. Here, we should be discussing the evolution of the legal proceeding. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:35, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There’s a mention in the article on Quia Emptores (statute passed in 1290) of a "companion statute of Quo Warranto (1290)" - and the link is to this article.  But this article deals with the writ only.  Can anyone add something about the statute?  – SquisherDa (talk) 01:20, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
