This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 924 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings on American Federal Government Though the Editor has aimed to steer clear of purely partisan dis eussions, it appeared impossible to exclude everything tinged with a party bias without reducing the collection to a neutral and inane level. It is exactly the personal equation in discussion and argument that lends value when backed by character and experience. In order to feel at home in the actual world of political thought and action, the student should be familiar with the controversial methods that he will encounter at every turn, - he should be trained in distinguishing political fact from political Opinion. However, in most of the important matters dealt with in this collection the principle of party allegiance may be regarded as non - essential. The details of House procedure have been attacked by men of all political faiths. Men of all parties have been united upon the necessity of public control of corporations. As a matter of fact, of recent years, controversies in our legislative bodies have rarely taken on the form of pure party action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the United States The main purpose of this book is to show what the Government of the United States is, by giving a sketch of its organization and the general methods of its working. It deals not only with the central, or Federal government, but also with the State, Territorial, and local governments; and all of these taken together make up the Government of the United States. Students who undertake the study of this Government should keep in mind the fact that each of the governments, local, State, and Federal, exercises some part of the political power of the nation. This is the territorial distribution of power. He should also keep in mind the fact that in the town or city government, as well as in the State or Federal government, the power which each holds is divided among the legislative, the executive, and the judicial departments. This is a distribution according to the kind of power to be exercised. Thus, in order to understand how this nation is governed, one must give attention to both of these forms of distribution. The topics here treated, concerning the organization and powers of the Government, constitute a general subject by themselves. If properly comprehended, they show us what the Government is.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of Federal GovernmentOne of the most striking political tendencies of the last century has been the development of federal government both in Europe and America. Within a hundred years the Swiss confederation has grown compact and strong, the German confederation has been remodelled, and tendencies toward an Imperial federal sys tem are seen in England. Ou this side of the Atlantic, the Spanish American States have formed several confederations, of which two - Mexico and the Argentine Republic seem durable; and the British continental possessions have been amalgamated into an union. Above all, the United States of America has borne the strain of growth of territory and population, and is to-day the strongest and most firmly established of all federal governments that have ever existed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Thus the constitution of Alabama recites that the sole and only legitimate end of government is to protect the citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property; and when the government assumes other functions it is usurpation and oppression (art. I, All men, say many of the State constitutions, are born free and equal, and have certain natural, essen tial, and unalienable rights; among which may be reckoned the right of enjoying and defending their lives and liberties that of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, etc. These rights are protect cd by a general provision in the Federal Constitu tion No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Government of the United States (Revised) A new educational work Should, in itself, plainly indicate the excuse for its existence. Especially is this true of a text-book upon Civil Government, Since the subject has been already so well treated in the various works now in daily use. Probably no one at this time doubts the propriety of giving the study of Civil Govern ment a prominent place in our schools. Some of the pupils in the school rooms to-day will, in a few years, be occupying public positions of responsibility and power; and while these may be comparatively few in number, yet in this country every citizen has political duties to perform, and should therefore be familiar with the plan and workings of the government which imposes them. Hence it remains only a question as to the manner in which the subject may be most effectively presented for the purposes of instruction. Those who, as teachers, have heard their classes in Civil Government complain that the subject was dry and uninteresting, need only consult their own recollections to know the justice of such complaints. It certainly is not possible to invest the subject with the charms of romance, or give it the thrilling interest of a History of the Crusades or the Conquest of Mexico. But it has seemed possible for a text-book upon Civil Government to be made so readable that it will invite and hold the attention of the pupil, instead of being the passive object of compulsory study. To accomplish this has been the aim in the preparation of this work. The plan is foreshadowed in the frontispiece. Our government, being representative, the popular will controls, through these channels of representation, -the intermediate political subdivisions, and finally asserts itself in the power of the Federal Government. It seems, therefore, that the study of this subject in its natural order Should commence with the township, and follow the principle of representation to its widest application. This method has been pursued. It is impossible, within the limits of a work of this kind, to enter into the details of all the peculiarities arising under the constitutions and laws of the different States, although much attention is given to those branches of the subject. It is presumed, however, in all cases, that the teacher will be familiar with the organization and government of his own State and its subdivisions, and these should be considered in connection with the text, the resemblances noted, and the differences particularly pointed out. The lesson reviews have been made to indicate that method of instruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the United States: National, State, and Local The plan, scope, content, and temper of this book are in large measure the outgrowth of my experience as a teacher. My students, by the drift of their questions and discussions, have moulded my ideas of what a text-book ought to contain. This book is theirs as much as it is mine. That fact may help to explain why some features of American government are dilated upon at considerable length, while others are left as self-evident propositions to the perception of the reader. It explains, moreover, why the same problem is occasionally discussed from different angles, even though this has in volved some degree Of repetition. And if the general tone of the book betrays an optimist, my sufficient answer is that no man can be for many years associated with the American undergraduate and remain anything else.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New American Government, and Its Work The Theory of Checks and Balances - The great changes just described have all been opposed to the spirit and intentions of the men who drafted our form of government. If there was one fear that animated all members of the Convention of 1787, it was the dread of highly concentrated power. AS Englishmen they had long believed in the doctrine that government should be built up of Checks and Balances, that is, every authority, oflicer or legislative body should have some other authority which would check its power and prevent it from becoming absolute or despotic. One form of this doctrine is the theory of Division of Powers. A brilliant French writer, in a book 1 which was read and studied carefully by influential members of the Convention of 1787, de clared that the division of government into the executive, legisla tive, and judicial departments was a necessary means of preserving the liberty of the citizens against Oppression. His method of rea soning was simple. He asks, in what country is the freedom of the citizen best preserved? At the time of writing England was un doubtedly the freest country in the world. How is this freedom of the citizen secured in England? The author's answer was that the British government at that time separated sharply the executive power of the King from the legislative power of Parliament and the judicial power exercised by judges appointed for life. N 0 other country at that time carried this division of powers as far as did Great Britain. Montesquieu therefore concluded that the division of powers was the most effective means of preserving the liberty of the citizen from government despotism. The Fathers followed this theory faithfully in 1787. The three departments were sepa rated as far as possible, and where their co - operation was necessary, they were set in balance as checks against each other. It will be noticed that the underlying motive of the Fathers was the fear of 7 oppression. Briefly expressed it is: Let us divide governmental power into minute particles, giving a small part to each authority so that none may become supreme or even dangerous.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Readings in American Government This book, Select Readings in American Government, is published for the purpose of providing in a convenient form a number of carefully chosen articles, excerpts, and documents the reading of which will aid the student or the lay citizen of the United States in developing an intelligent understanding Of the federal system Of government in. Which he partici pates and for which he carries such heavy responsibilities. It is designed especially for use in college classes as supplementary material in a general course in American government. Obviously, it is not planned for specialists. Federal government is necessarily legal in nature. Some knowledge of constitutions is essential even for the average citizen. Readings in this book furnish some information about constitutions, but not enough for the constitutional lawyer. Constitutions in America today have grown out of past experience and have been influenced by political thinkers Of the past. Some selections are included to help the reader realize this significant fact; but historians will need to go deeper, and political theorists will want to read far beyond the limits of this volume. Decisions Of the Supreme Court Of the United States can not be omitted if one is to under stand American government, but this not not a case - book. Few people will want to read all Of the Congressional Record, but valuable aid for the understanding of government may be gained from excerpts from that Record. An understanding of the functioning of government depends not only upon some appreciation of constitutions, history, past political thought, Supreme Court decisions, and official actions of men in governmental posi tions, but also upon an acquaintance with personalities and pressures which are dominant in government at any given time. The editors have, therefore, deemed it advisable to include some articles which encourage thought about personalities and pressures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of the American Constitution, Vol. 1: Its Origin and Development The American federal system is based upon the Consti tution of the United States. That instrument was adopted to make more perfect the union which, having had its beginning in the common allegiance of the colonies to the British Crown during the war for independence, was welded closer by the necessity for common action, and found its first constitutional expression in the Articles of Confedera tion. Nineteen articles of amendment have been added to the Constitution in the hundred and thirty-four years since its adoption. It is hoped that in the first three chapters of this book a clear picture is given of the making of the Constitution, of the nature of the federal system which was set up, and of the principles which underlie the amending power. The Constitution of the United States first of all estab lishes a national government, and sets off to it certain fields in which it shall be supreme, at the same time imposing upon it certain specific prohibitions and restrictions. It was, however, very far from the purpose of the framers of that instrument to do away with the separate States or to reduce them to mere administrative units. Yet the grants of powers to the national government did of necessity operate as limitations upon the previous sovereign powers of the States; and to these implied limitations were added others which are express. In the second part of this book, I have dealt with the national government in its executive, judicial, and legislative departments, discussing the powers which are granted to each of them, and the limitations which are placed upon their activities. In Part III are con sidered the restrictions placed upon the States, and the extent of the powers which may still be exercised by them. It is believed that this is a logical method of treatment, and it is hoped that it will help to make clear the division of powers between the national and state governments under our federal system. No attempt has been made to treat of the powers of the States under their individual constitutions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the American Constitution A long time has elapsed since the author undertook to draw out The Origin and Growth of the English Constitution, within the limits of two octavo volumes, the first of which is in the eighth edition, the second in the fourth. The very cordial reception given to that work throughout the Eng lish-speaking world and beyond it naturally suggested a sequel to be entitled The Origin and Growth of the American Constitution, which has been completed on the same plan. After thirty years of effort to unfold the histories of the two closely related constitutions as one progressive development, the author was blessed with a piece of good fortune which has more than requited all the labor bestowed. That good fortune consisted of the unearthing of a priceless document, very near the surface, which has cast a bright light into what was heretofore a very dark place. It explains for the first time the real history of the invention of that marvelous system of government, partly federal and partly national, given to the world by the Federal Con vention at the close of its labors at Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. Beyond that point the in uence of the document in question does not extend, - except in one important particular it sheds no new light on the after history. So far as this book is concerned, it is a mere episode, simply one link in a long chain of causation presented herein as a connected whole. It is, however, a great thing to know for certain that the most notable of all political inventions had a personal inventor; that the entirely unique and path-breaking creation embodied in the American Constitution came into being in a perfectly normal way; that its birth was neither mythical nor miraculous. Beginning upon that sane basis an effort has been made to unfold the growth of that Constitution according to the Historical Method, which regards all law, public and private, as a living and growing organism that changes as the relations of society change. When that method is applied to such data as are contained in printed documents, the growth of constitutions may be worked out by processes almost as exact as those employed in physical science. As Bishop Stubbs has happily ex pressed it: I confess that to me, as an old investigator, a good deal of the accepted theory of continuous history, in this region, at least, of history, seems to rest on arguments as sound, within its own material and area, as those on which Copernicus and Kepler worked out their astronomical con elusions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Federal Government and Education an Examination of the Federalization Movement, in the Light of the Educational Demands, of a Democracy It is a truism that every society tends to perpetuate itself; likewise that every cultivated society sees in education the chief means of its perpetuation and an indispensable mechan ism of social control. Under democratic forms this truth con veys a special meaning. Democracy has an abiding faith in education. Its very existence depends upon a wide diffusion of knowledge among its members. Its mainstay is a moral, social, and educated electorate. Where ignorance thrives, free institutions must inevitably fail. Autocracy thrives where minds are held in bondage.
