权力

Although often described as federal organizations, these leagues actually were confederacies that delegated little power to central authority.

虽然常常被称作联邦组织，但是这些联盟所赋予中央权力机构的权力非常有限。

Whether settled periods of their convening, or a liberty left to the prince for convoking the legislative, or perhaps a mixture of both, hath the least inconvenience attending it, it is not my business here to inquire, but only to shew, that though the executive power may have the prerogative of convoking and dissolving such conventions of the legislative, yet it is not thereby superior to it.

是确定立法机构的集会时间，还是将召集立法机构的自由留给君主，或者很可能是这二者的混合，这不是我在此想深究的问题，我只是想说明，虽然执行权力可以拥有召集和解散立法机构的特殊权力，不过并不因此而高于它。良好的人性，恰当的理性，和对上帝的信仰。一个种族若不能从经验中得到理性，上帝会让他们不断的遭遇，直至毁灭。

The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power, upon the application of a party, to order any claiming or counterclaiming party to provide security for the legal or other costs of any other party In the event that a claiming or counterclaiming party does not comply with any order to provide security

以前英国法律地位是只有法院才有权力下令原告提供费用担保：Unione Stearinerie Lanza v。 Wiener (1917) 2 KB 558，而仲裁员只有在仲裁协议条文写明或仲裁机构规则有规定的情况下才能有权力命令原告提供费用担保，因为明示条文改变了默示法律地位。

This authority therefore, by its decisions merely curtails personal freedom of inquiry in religious matters in the same way, and by an equally valid title, as the supreme authority in the State, restricts the liberty of private citizens.
