For instance, the legislation would allow the government, under certain circumstances, to demand the business records of an American in Chicago without a warrant if it asserts that the search concerns its surveillance of a person who is in Paris, experts said.
If a system is built on power, but lacks legitimacy, then it will destroy itself; if it asserts moral truths, but lacks the power to enforce them, then it will unravel.
In targeting and wiretapping Americans, the administration would have to get individual court orders from the intelligence court, but in "exigent" or emergency circumstances it would be able to go ahead for at least seven days without a court order if it asserted that "intelligence important to the national security of the United States may be lost".

It asserts that if a country raises taxes and expenditures by the same amount in a time of high unemployment, and if monetary policy is accommodating, the national income grows by exactly the amount of the tax, so that after-tax income is unchanged.
It asserts that if some possibilia has the \(P\) property in all alternative states, then in every alternative state some possibilia has the \(P\) property.
It asserts that if 〈X i 〉 is a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables which has an expectation μ, then: μ = lim N → ∞ 1 N ∑ i = 1 N X i (2).
It asserts that, if M is a nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex subset of a Banach space X and A, B are two maps from M into X such that (A(M +B(M subseteq M), A is compact and B is a contraction, then (A+B) has at least one fixed point in M (see [1] or [2], p.31).
