Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... THE FIRST CONSTITUTION OF NEW YORK. 1777. [general Note.--The first Constitution was adopted on the 20th of April, 1777, by a convention of delegates vested with authority to establish a state government. That day thus became the birthday of the state, and it was so declared by the supreme court in Jackson ex dem. Russell v. White (1822) 20 Johns. 313. The Constitution was not submitted to the people for ratification, but took effect immediately upon its adoption by the Convention. A sketch of this Constitution and of the convention which framed it will be found in the first volume of this work. This Constitution continued in force until December 31, 1822, when it was superseded by the Constitution framed by the Convention of 1821. The first Constitution was in force forty-five years, but it received little judicial attention. The scarcity of judicial decisions in which the Constitution was considered during this period is chiefly due to the fact that legislative bills were, before they could become laws, subjected to the scrutiny and criticism of the Council of Revision, composed of the governor, the chancellor, and the judges of the supreme court. These high judicial officers having already determined the constitutionality of laws it was hardly worth while afterwards to attack a statute on this ground. This situation doubtless accounts for the scarcity of constitutional questions during this part of our judicial history. Some observations have been made in these volumes on the value of this provision in the first Constitution as a means of reducing litigation concerning constitutional questions. Judicial decisions relating to provisions which have been continued in the Constitution of 1804 will be found in notes to that instrument. A...

Download or read book New York's Broken Constitution written by Peter J. Galie and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the significant gaps between what New York States constitution says and how the state is actually governed and offers ideas for reform. On its face, New York States constitution is an elaborate and impressive aggregation of processes, powers, mandates, and limits. But many of these are inoperative, and New Yorkers who read the document and believe what it says will come away with a massive misunderstanding of the realities of state government. The essays in New Yorks Broken Constitution seek to clarify the realities by bringing attention to the gaps between what the constitution says and how the state is actually governed, and they provide a disquieting picture of the state of the states constitution. Among the topics addressed are state debt and budgeting practices, legislative redistricting, local government, gambling, conservation, and the process of amending the constitution. Written by knowledgeable professionals, the chapters explain the constitutional provisions in question, including the reasons for their constitutional status; how they have been used and interpreted; and the extent of the gaps between the constitutional provisions and practice. Various proposals for reform are also examined. This is an impressive volume, teeming with invaluable insights. It presents a compelling message: since many of the dysfunctions in state governance are inextricably tied to the organizational structures and policies detailedand sometimes followed, sometimes disregardedin the state constitution, constitutional reform is imperative. Anyone concerned about the operation and current dysfunction of New York State government should read this book. Vincent M. Bonventre, Albany Law School This book will be enormously useful in guiding the public and scholarly debate in the lead-up to the November 2017 vote on the question of whether to hold a state constitutional convention.

Download or read book State Constitutions of the United States written by Robert Maddex and published by CQ Press. This book was released on 2005-09-23 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly updated and reflecting the diversity of state policies and the issues that are important to them, State Constitutions of the United States collects, explains, and offers comparison of each of the fifty state constitutions. Its in-depth explorations and easy-to-follow structure reveal individual state priorities, the significance of state constitutions and their impact on issues that affect the day-to-day lives of citizens. This major revision incorporates specific details and describes trends and patterns in state constitutions, drawing on over 380 amendments passed since the first edition of this resource was published in 1998. These amendments address, at the state level, important issues that are also being debated on the national level, such as freedom of religion (Alabama), tobacco (Arizona), death penalty (Florida), and same-sex marriage in a number of states. The new edition addresses all of these issues and more, in well-organized state-by-state chapters-including a new chapter on Washington, DC. Beyond the extensive state-by-state coverage, this resource provides further insights through supplemental materials, including an overview of state constitutions, comparative tables, "new rights" such as privacy and victim's rights, "special provisions" such as the environment and home rule, and much more. This is the only one-volume resource on state constitutions designed to inform non-specialists, including students, non-constitutional scholars, and interested citizens, about the variety, influence, and continual revision and innovation that define state constitutions in the U.S. A wide range of libraries, including those that serve college students, AP high school students, and the general public, will want to update their collections with this unique and essential reference work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Revolution until the Panic of 1837 Americans accepted state intervention in the economy as a legitimate, even an essential, function of government. The Decline of Authority examines the transformation of New York State government between 1800 and 1860, a critical period during which governmental authority diminished as most state governments withdrew from interventionist economic policies and relinquished their role in the allocation of resources to the private sector. Exploring the relationship between socioeconomic change, public economic policy, and political development, L. Ray Gunn offers an innovative explanation for the new configuration of politics and governance in New York State that emerged during this era.

Download or read book Suffrage Reconstructed written by Laura E. Free and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified on July 9, 1868, identified all legitimate voters as "male." In so doing, it added gender-specific language to the U.S. Constitution for the first time. Suffrage Reconstructed considers how and why the amendment's authors made this decision. Vividly detailing congressional floor bickering and activist campaigning, Laura E. Free takes readers into the pre- and postwar fights over precisely who should have the right to vote. Free demonstrates that all men, black and white, were the ultimate victors of these fights, as gender became the single most important marker of voting rights during Reconstruction. Free argues that the Fourteenth Amendment's language was shaped by three key groups: African American activists who used ideas about manhood to claim black men's right to the ballot, postwar congressmen who sought to justify enfranchising southern black men, and women's rights advocates who began to petition Congress for the ballot for the first time as the Amendment was being drafted. To prevent women's inadvertent enfranchisement, and to incorporate formerly disfranchised black men into the voting polity, the Fourteenth Amendment's congressional authors turned to gender to define the new American voter. Faced with this exclusion some woman suffragists, most notably Elizabeth Cady Stanton, turned to rhetorical racism in order to mount a campaign against sex as a determinant of one's capacity to vote. Stanton's actions caused a rift with Frederick Douglass and a schism in the fledgling woman suffrage movement. By integrating gender analysis and political history, Suffrage Reconstructed offers a new interpretation of the Civil War–era remaking of American democracy, placing African American activists and women's rights advocates at the heart of nineteenth-century American conversations about public policy, civil rights, and the franchise.

Download or read book 1777, the Political Revolution and New York's First Constitution written by William A. Polf and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than eight years passed between the opening attack on British control of the province of New York at Fort Ticonderoga on May 10, 1775, and the British evacuation of New York City on November 25, 1783. No war of independence could have been sustained for so long a time by a people who cared only for the destruction of the old order. A clear vision of a better life was needed if patriots were to refute the Tory belief that rebellion would only lead from chaos to the tyranny of the mob. Only a new charter of government could provide that vision in convincing terms. A constitution could not wait upon victory; it was needed as a weapon in a cause that, for the first two years, was losing ground on the battlefield. This is the first publication of the Bicentennial Commission to focus on the constitutional birthday of New York State. It also contains the first handy reprinting of the 1777 constitution in two hundred years. The Commission hopes that this booklet will serve not only as a timely appreciation of a great Revolutionary achievement, but also as an aid in the review of those perennial questions of government that each generation must answer for itself. --John H. G. Pell, Chairman"--Foreword.
