The organisation of the municipalities is based on the Principle of representation. It has previously been impossible to give the citizens more influence through direct democracy, but the information technology gives new possibilities and the choice of democracy model might no longer be obvious. Representation can be interpreted in many ways and there is a need for a more distinct definition of the rule that the municipalities shall be governed according to the Principle of representation. It should also be further investigated how the new technology can be used to increase the use of direct democracy. The municipalities ought to work to supplement the representation with direct democracy in the form of active discourse with the citizens.

This essay is questioning if the state as an unsecured creditor in a bankruptcy proceeding, according to the Principle of equal treatment, has the same rights as the other unsecured creditors. The Principle of equal treatment means that creditors with unsecured claims are supposed to have mutually equal rights to dividends in a bankruptcy.

These rules do not apply on taxes. This essay analyzes whether the state should have this advantage or not.
