It 1s feet north and 1579 feet west of the Washington Monument. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Power of Congress Over the District of Columbia (Classic Reprint) written by Theodore Dwight Weld and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Power of Congress Over the District of Columbia A civilized community presupposes a government of law. If that government be a republic, its citizens are the sole sources, as well as the subjects of its power. Its constitution is their bill of directions to their own agents - a grant authorizing the exercise of certain powers, and prohibiting that of others. In the Constitution of the United States, whatever else may be obscure, the clause granting power to Congress over the Federal District may well defy misconstruction. Art. 1, Sec. 8, Clause 18: "The Congress shall have power to exercise exclusive legislation, in all cases whatsoever, over such District." Congress may make laws for the District "in all cases," not of all kinds; not all laws whatsoever, but laws "in all cases whatsoever." The grant respects the subjects of legislation, not the moral nature of the laws. The law-making power every where is subject to moral restrictions, whether limited by constitutions or not. No legislature can authorize murder, nor make honesty penal, nor virtue a crime, nor exact impossibilities. In these and similar respects, the power of Congress is held in check by principles, existing in the nature of things, not imposed by the Constitution, but presupposed and assumed by it. The power of Congress over the District is restricted only by those principles that limit ordinary legislation, and, in some respects, it has even wider scope. In common with the legislatures of the States, Congress cannot constitutionally pass ex post facto laws in criminal cases, nor suspend the writ of habeas corpus, nor pass a bill of attainder, nor abridge the freedom of speech and of the press, nor invade the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, nor enact laws respecting an establishment of religion. These are general limitations. Congress cannot do these things any where. The exact import, therefore, of the clause "in all cases whatsoever," is, on all subjects within the appropriate sphere of legislation. Some legislatures are restrained by constitutions, from the exercise of powers strictly within the proper sphere of legislation. Congressional power over the District has no such restraint. It traverses the whole field of legitimate legislation. All the power which any legislature has within its own jurisdiction, Congress holds over the District of Columbia.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Removal of the Seat of Government to the District of Columbia: Two Papers Read Before the District of Columbia Historical Society The information which is in the letters of Mr. Bradley constitute a valuable contribution to the history of that period. While Mr. Bradley does not give the exact loca tion of the building that was leased for the use of the Post Otfice Department, his description is, perhaps, as accurate as could be expected under the circumstances. It is hardly necessary to say that while the streets of the city of Tash ington were beautifully delineated on paper and carefully named, there was no indication, or at least very little, in the city itself that there were any streets. Some years later a traveler to the city stated that he was in the center of the city when he thought he was some distance away.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the District of Columbia: A Study in Federal and Municipal Administration Those unfamiliar With the local organization of the federal capital may think it curious to find practically no mention of the city of Washington in the following pages. To avoid confusion it should be said that for governmental purposes there has been no city of Washington recognized by law since 1871, although this term is still used to a certain extend in federal statutes to indicate the more densely populated area of the District of Co lumbia. The densely populated area is now extending at such a rapid rate that the terms District of Columbia and City of Washington Will soon be synonymous as geographical ex pressions. The town of Georgetown was abolished as a gov ernmental organization in 1871, but the name of Georgetown con tinned to be used in federal laws as a geographical expression until 1895, When a federal act was passed discontinuing this practice.

This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Court-House of the District of Columbia An event of such importance requires the serious attention of the historian as well as that of the local chronicler. A monograph, with numerous illustrations, has been prepared by competent authorities and, attractively printed and bound. It makes a volume which cannot fail to be of increasing interest and historical value. This volume presents for the first time a comprehensive account of the Sn preme Court of the District of Columbia and of its predecessor, the Circuit coui'e of the District of Columbia, their creation by the acts of the Congress, their jurisdiction and powers, their relations to the Government, and their place in the judicial system of the United States. It contains an authentic epitome of the history of the court-house, its construction and reconstruction, its Bench and Bar, with the achievements of the past linked to the story of the present. The power, learning, high character, and commanding influence of its Judges and lawyers today are no different than in the past, and the right and title is thus set forth for further opportunity for judicial administration and professional labor.
