the Council alone (after consulting the Parliament) or, more rarely, by the European Parliament alone (after consulting the Council). The Council and the Parliament can give the Commission the power to adopt non-legislative acts. For instance, the Commission may need to bring non-essential elements of a law up to date with scientific progress or market developments. These 'delegated acts' are scrutinised by the European Parliament and the Council.

Covered many areas of life of man: science, history, and political and social reform. Thomas Browne: Religio Medici – tried to reconcile (sobitada) science and religion. Writes as physician who has found his religious faith confirmed by scientific awe. Poses more as a moralist than as a diagnostician. Demonstrates an exemplaru toleration of both Christian dissent and diversity. 8. The political prose of the Civil War period
