Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative Democracy The following chapters treat of representative government from various standpoints. They were written and published at different times for different purposes, but they all tend in the same direction. This accounts for a certain amount of repetition. The first chapter is addressed directly to the reform parties of the United States and has an immediate practical object. The second chapter discusses the essential nature of Representative Government, as shown by its history and its present collapse. The third chapter shows the strength and limits of Direct Legislation. The fourth chapter brings together the two leading arguments for Proportional Representation. The fifth chapter describes in detail the latest and most highly perfected form of Proportional Representation yet enacted into law. The sixth chapter, being intended for European publicists, contains a description of American political bossism and the four leading reforms which are directed against it. The seventh chapter applies Representative Democracy to labor unions, corporations, and other private associations. My acknowledgments are given to the editors of the Independent, the Social Reform Union, the Arena, and the Review of Reviews for permission to reprint. Correspondence, criticisms and questions are asked from those who are interested. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Considerations on Representative Government Those who have done me the honour of reading my previous writings, will probably receive no strong impression of novelty from the present volume; for the principles are those to which I have been working up during the greater part of my life, and most of the practical suggestions have been anticipated by others or by myself. There is novelty, however, in the fact of bringing them together, and exhibiting them in their connexion; and also, I believe, in much that is brought forward in their support. Several of the opinions at all events, if not new, are for the present as little likely to meet with general acceptance at if they were.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Voice of the People: An Essay on Representative Democracy This essay was planned and partly written during the last year of the war in the intervals of military service in England. At that time the strain of the war, the complete suppression of democratic forms of government, and the strange incapacity of political leaders in all countries except America to formulate a programme worth fighting for, had produced much bitterness of feeling both within and without the British army. The mind turned with some relief to the consideration Of parlia mentary institutions as they existed in this country before the war and as they might exist again after it, perhaps with some inclination to magnify their possibilities and their superiority over the existing order. The precise question here proposed for investigation was no doubt influenced by the situation. I asked myself what this democracy, now so plainly absent, really was, and how far it was or might have been realized in the forms of government established in this country before the war. Later, after my release from military service, I had the advantage of submitting my attempt at an answer to these questions, in the form Of lectures, to a Summer School of the Workers' Educational Association at Oxford. To its criticism and encouragement the essay owes much. It seemed that a discussion which flourished so vigorously there might be not without interest to a Wider public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Way to Democracy, to World Peace: Volunteer Drawn Democracy It is proposed to employ the method in securing legislatures, as in a representative democracy they should be representative of the whole people, and the use of the method for such purpose is particularly in har mony with the theory of democracy and the reason for representative government. The immediate use of the method for determining who shall be executive and judicial offi cers is not here proposed, as those officers are servants and agents of the people, rather than representa tives, in the true sense. And if the people can secure a truly representa tive legislature by using the method proposed, agents and servants will be relegated to their proper place in the government. Evils in our execut ive and judicial departments are now traceable largely to the use of the elective method for securing representation in our. Legislative depart ments. The underlying principle, selection at random from the'whole number admitted to be qualified, can be applied to all departments if deemed advisable.

This book was released on 2018-08-05 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democracy In America, vol 1: Large Print Alexis de Tocqueville The primary focus of Democracy in America is an analysis of why republican representative democracy has succeeded in the United States when it failed in so many other places. Tocqueville also speculates on the future of democracy in the United States, discussing both possible threats to democracy and possible dangers of democracy, including his belief that democracy has a tendency to degenerate into what he calls ''mild despotism.'' He also observed that the strong role religion played in the United States was due to its separation from the government, a separation all parties found agreeable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Thoughts on Public Life At that time no one questloned that democratic representative parliamentary government was the best form of government, and that as far as any govern ment could do it, it would satisfy the needs of the community. Where do we stand to-day? When I entered political life it was the latter part of the epoch of the establishment of democratic representative government. We have lived on to-day into an epoch which regards democratic representative government as on its trial. Its merits and efficiency are questioned as they were not questioned when we were engaged in establishing it. In some countries democratic representative government is no longer regarded as an ideal at all. I do not take what has happened in Russia as an instance, because Russia has never had representative government, and what has never had a trial cannot be said to be superseded or discarded by what has taken place in Russia. But what has happened in Italy lately is very significant. Italy had democratic representative government, but it has now been superseded by something which presumably must have much popular support behind it, but which is not based upon parliamentary election, but on organized force. For the present, at any rate, that system of government which we have regarded as the ideal in this country has been suspended in Italy and it is possible that under the shock of confusion and chaos that still exists in Europe you may see democratic representative government in some other countries go down, at any rate for a time, in favour of some other system.

The villagers want economy and efficiency in government, but they do not want to lose any of their sense of being represented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative Government in the United States: Being the Opening Lecture of the James Stokes Lectureship on Politics, at New York University It has become the fashion to deplore the failings of our Representative Government. The hopes and anticipations of enthusiastic patriots of one hundred and fifty years ago are compared with the various defects of the system; and, while some remedies are suggested, the objections to them are evident, and we are left in a somewhat hopeless state. When we analyze the views of these pessimists, we extract the admission that democracies of considerable size cannot be governed at all without the representative system, and, therefore, that we must make the best of it, with such modifications as may strengthen its useful operation and restrain it from being misrepresentative of the people's will. Shall we admit that our government is a failure? Shall we admit that, in the one hundred and thirty-five years of its life, it has not had useful operation? That we must do, if we are to admit the premise that representative government is a failure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The most graphic picture which has been painted of this Assembly and its members will be found in The Virginia Magazine of History for July, 1894. In this magazine is given the address delivered before the Virginia Historical Society by Hon. William Wirt Henry, to whose researches I am indebted for many of the facts narrated in this paper, and from whose graphic description, I have obtained permission to quote several extracts.
