  2. Isohedral figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isohedral_figure

    Similarly, a k-isohedral tiling has k separate symmetry orbits (it may contain m different face shapes, for m = k, or only for some m < k). [ 6 ] ("1-isohedral" is the same as "isohedral".) A monohedral polyhedron or monohedral tiling ( m = 1) has congruent faces, either directly or reflectively, which occur in one or more symmetry positions.

  3. State law (United States) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_law_(United_States)

    The law of most of the states is based on the common law of England; the notable exception is Louisiana, whose civil law is largely based upon French and Spanish law.The passage of time has led to state courts and legislatures expanding, overruling, or modifying the common law; as a result, the laws of any given state invariably differ from the laws of its sister states.

  4. Independent state legislature theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_state...

    The independent state legislature theory or independent state legislature doctrine (ISL) is a judicially rejected legal theory that posits that the Constitution of the United States delegates authority to regulate federal elections within a state to that state's elected lawmakers without any checks and balances from state constitutions, state courts, governors, ballot initiatives, or other ...

  5. State legislature (United States) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_legislature_(United...

    The primary function of any legislature is to create laws. State legislatures also approve budget for state government. They may establish government agencies, set their policies, and approve their budgets. For instance, a state legislature could establish an agency to manage environmental conservation efforts within that state.

  6. Rechtsstaat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechtsstaat

    The Law, between Justice and State Power, allegory by Dominique Antoine Magaud (1899) Rechtsstaat (German: [ˈʁɛçt͡sˌʃtaːt] ⓘ; lit. "state of law"; "legal state") is a doctrine in continental European legal thinking, originating in German jurisprudence.

  7. Plesiohedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plesiohedron

    This shape is called a plesiohedron. The tiling generated in this way is isohedral, meaning that it not only has a single prototile ("monohedral") but also that any copy of this tile can be taken to any other copy by a symmetry of the tiling. [1] As with any space-filling polyhedron, the Dehn invariant of a plesiohedron is necessarily zero. [3]

  9. Isogonal figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isogonal_figure

    (Definition varies among authors; e.g. some exclude solids with dihedral symmetry, or nonconvex solids.) Uniform if every face is a regular polygon, i.e. it is regular, quasiregular or semi-regular. Semi-uniform if its elements are also isogonal. Scaliform if all the edges are the same length. Noble if it is also isohedral (face-transitive).
