Bubble Act
Bubble Act 《泡沫法》 1720年使大批英格兰投资家破产的一次投机狂热——「南海泡沫骗局」〔South Sea Bubble〕促成了本法的制定。1721年制定通过，禁止公司欺诈，规定未经议会授权成立的公司，如果主张享有非个人或合伙所拥有的权力和特权，将被认定为公害〔public nuisance〕。
discrimination
discrimination n. 区别对待；歧视 就其作为中性词而言，discrimination(区别对待)是大多数法的目的。法律旨在将善行〔good or useful conduct〕与恶行〔harmful conduct〕分别开来。因而，通常必须将允许或禁止从事某一行为的人进行区分，例如，某些人饮酒有害，法律规定青少年不得饮酒。就本质而言，区别对待并非违宪。不过discrimination在目前的用法中，非指中性，而常被用作贬义。它指授予某些人特权或因种族、年龄、性别、民族、信仰或残疾剥夺某些人权利的法律或惯例的后果，或者指没有正当理由，不平等地对待各方。美国联邦法律、法院判例和州法禁止因种族、年龄、性别、民族等在僱佣、选举、公共教育、信贷〔extension of credit〕、住房〔housing〕等方面实行歧视待遇。 (→bias; disparate treatment; equal protection clause; equal protection of the laws; invidious discrimination; price discrimination; protected class; reverse discrimination)
