Book Synopsis The Defeat of Party Despotism (Classic Reprint) by : Leonard Woolsey Bacon
Download or read book The Defeat of Party Despotism (Classic Reprint) written by Leonard Woolsey Bacon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Defeat of Party Despotism Fellow-Citizens of the Reform Club: - In laying before you a plan for the defeat of party despotism I have the great advantage of being assured of your interest in the object proposed, and thus of being relieved of the burden of a large part of my argument. That party despotism exists, and is not much more tolerable for being nominally vested in two parties instead of one; and that it exists as a continual mischief and formidable peril to the commonwealth - these are propositions which, as a society for political reform, you will be ready to admit without protracted discussion. It is substantially true, and is growing every year to be more absolutely and exclusively true, that the American citizen is shut out from any effective share in political affairs, from municipal to national, except by virtue of his membership in, or his subserviency to, one of two great extra-constitutional and extra-legal organizations. Independently of his relation to one of these great combinations, the citizen is not only practically excluded from official functions, but even his freedom as a voter is narrowed down so near to the vanishing point that the exercise of the voter's franchise is getting to be more and more neglected, as an act merely formal and futile. And, to the great detriment of the republic and the degradation of its political life, this neglect of political duties tends to become more and more general among those classes of citizens who, by reason of superior intelligence and independence and conscientiousness of character, are the least likely to move in subserviency to the requirements of a party organization. There are simple souls, no doubt, who will consider all objections to the supreme domination of parties to be completely met by asking, What, after all, are parties, but the people themselves dividing naturally, according to the opinions or predilections of each individual, on important questions as they emerge?

Download or read book Blackballed written by Darryl Pinckney and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blackballed is Darryl Pinckney’s meditation on a century and a half of participation by blacks in US electoral politics. In this combination of memoir, historical narrative, and contemporary political and social analysis, he investigates the struggle for black voting rights from Reconstruction through the civil rights movement to Barack Obama’s two presidential campaigns. Drawing on the work of scholars, the memoirs of civil rights workers, and the speeches and writings of black leaders like Martin Luther King and Stokely Carmichael, Andrew Young and John Lewis, Pinckney traces the disagreements among blacks about the best strategies for achieving equality in American society as well as the ways in which they gradually came to create the Democratic voting bloc that contributed to the election of the first black president. Interspersed through the narrative are Pinckney’s own memories of growing up during the civil rights era and the reactions of his parents to the changes taking place in American society. He concludes with an examination of ongoing efforts by Republicans to suppress the black vote, with particular attention to the Supreme Court’s recent decision striking down part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Also included here is Pinckney’s essay “What Black Means Now,” on the history of the black middle class, stereotypes about blacks and crime, and contemporary debates about “post-blackness.”

Book Synopsis Political Pamphlets (Esprios Classics) by : George Saintsbury
Download or read book Political Pamphlets (Esprios Classics) written by George Saintsbury and published by Blurb. This book was released on 1927 with total page 1134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is sometimes thought, and very often said, that political writing, after its special day is done, becomes more dead than any other kind of literature, or even journalism. I do not know whether my own judgment is perverted by the fact of a special devotion to the business, but it certainly seems to me that both the thought and the saying are mistakes. Indeed, a rough-and-ready refutation of them is supplied by the fact that, in no few cases, political pieces have entered into the generally admitted stock of the best literary things."
Book Synopsis The Weight of Their Votes by : Lorraine Gates Schuyler
Download or read book The Weight of Their Votes written by Lorraine Gates Schuyler and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, hundreds of thousands of southern women went to the polls for the first time. In The Weight of Their Votes Lorraine Gates Schuyler examines the consequences this had in states across the South. She shows that from polling places to the halls of state legislatures, women altered the political landscape in ways both symbolic and substantive. Schuyler challenges popular scholarly opinion that women failed to wield their ballots effectively in the 1920s, arguing instead that in state and local politics, women made the most of their votes. Schuyler explores get-out-the-vote campaigns staged by black and white women in the region and the response of white politicians to the sudden expansion of the electorate. Despite the cultural expectations of southern womanhood and the obstacles of poll taxes, literacy tests, and other suffrage restrictions, southern women took advantage of their voting power, Schuyler shows. Black women mobilized to challenge disfranchisement and seize their right to vote. White women lobbied state legislators for policy changes and threatened their representatives with political defeat if they failed to heed women's policy demands. Thus, even as southern Democrats remained in power, the social welfare policies and public spending priorities of southern states changed in the 1920s as a consequence of woman suffrage.
Book Synopsis Civic Lessons From Mayor Mitchel's Defeat (Classic Reprint) by : Eda Amberg
Download or read book Civic Lessons From Mayor Mitchel's Defeat (Classic Reprint) written by Eda Amberg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civic Lessons From Mayor Mitchel's Defeat Since the motive of this reminder is to help voters and leaders of any place at any time remember what was clearly seen just after the election of 1917, the reasons for Fusion Reform's defeat are stated almost' entirely in the words of headlines, news items and editorials that expressed and affect ed public judgment in 1917. With few exceptions, further more, the story is told by strongly pro-fusion and pro-mitchel speakers and organs. Because this attempt to draw civic lessons from Fusion Reform's defeat must necessarily deal with issues that were bitterly controversial in 1917, some readers and reviewers will ask for the attitude of the authors and the Institute for Public Service toward' municipal reform. To meet such in quiry without interrupting the story, Exhibit II tells briefly how the Institute for Public Service has worked for efficient, socially-minded government in city, state and nation. Suffice it here to say that we not only believe in reform but believe it is possible to get it and to keep adding to. It no matter who's elected, wherever voters are currently given essential facts about official acts and community needs. Cessation of Cooperative Criticism, page 59, was the major and chief reason for Mayor Mitchel's defeat. For a summary of civic lessons for future use by Ins, Outs, Independents, Teachers and Students see page 84.

Book Synopsis How the World Votes, Vol. 1 of 2 by : Charles Seymour
Download or read book How the World Votes, Vol. 1 of 2 written by Charles Seymour and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How the World Votes, Vol. 1 of 2: The Story of Democratic Development in Elections The war and the defeat of the Hohenzollern have assured the victory of democracy, not merely in the wider sense, but in the more narrow field of elections. With the acquisition of universal suffrage in Great Britain and the passing of the old Prussian system, a definite milestone on the road of political evolution has been reached. Henceforth we enter upon a new stage - that of assuring the safety and the usefulness of democracy and the democratic suffrage. With that latter stage of the future this book is not primarily concerned. It deals with the earlier process, the development of a popular electoral franchise, first in Great Britain, then in the United States, and finally in all the important countries of the world. The process has been delayed in eastern and central Europe and denatured in the Iberian peninsula and South America; but the main thesis of the book is nevertheless the continuous growth of the people's control as expressed at the polls. The authors have laid emphasis upon the Anglo-Saxon countries and France alike, because of the natural direction of American interests and because of the importance of the growth of an electoral democracy in these countries. They have also given to many of their chapters an historical character, for it seemed profitable to investigate the origins of the British and American systems, and to linger somewhat over the details of early elections in Great Britain and the United States.

Download or read book One Vote Away written by Ted Cruz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ** WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER **USA TODAY BESTSELLER ** PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY BESTSELLER ** NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ** With a simple majority on the Supreme Court, the left would have the power to curtail or even abolish the freedoms that have made America a beacon to the world. We are one vote away from losing our most precious constitutional rights. As a Supreme Court clerk, solicitor general of Texas, and private litigator, Ted Cruz played a key role in some of the most important legal cases of the past two decades. In One Vote Away, you will discover how often the high court decisions that affect your life have been decided by the narrowest of margins. One vote preserves your right to speak freely, to bear arms, and to exercise your faith. One vote will determine whether your children enjoy their full inheritance as American citizens. God may endow us with "certain unalienable rights," but whether we enjoy them depends on nine judges—the "high priests" who have the last say in our system of government. Drawing back the curtain of their temple, Senator Cruz reveals the struggles, arguments, and strife that have shaped the fate of those rights. No one who reads One Vote Away can ever again take a single seat on the Supreme Court for granted.
