Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State Government in the United States State Government in the United States is a subject on which many books might be written. This book is designed to furnish a critical analysis of the principles of state government in the United States. Beginning with a statement of the principles upon which the governments of the original states were established, it explains how the original forms of government have developed in response to changing conditions, how the present state governments are meeting present needs, and concludes with a brief consideration of some of the contemporary plans for further reform. Why should we change our form of government? Has the time come for discarding the eighteenth century doctrine of the division of powers? These are some of the more fundamental questions to which the book attempts to give an answer. But the book is not solely concerned with the political philosophy of American state government. It also treats of the more practical problems arising out of the growth of the functions of the modern state and the increase of its administrative activities. For the convenience of those readers who may wish to pursue further the study of contemporary state government, I have prepared a bibliographical appendix, containing a selected list of the most useful titles. References cited in the text or in the footnotes are, for the most part, omitted from this list. It has not seemed necessary to include either in the text or elsewhere much statistical matter relating to the forms of government, such as tables of the numbers and tenure of members of state legislatures, or to the conduct of administration, such as tables of enlistments in the state militia or of salient features in industrial or labor legislation. Such information is readily obtainable in various well-known publications, notably in the American Year Book, published annually since 1910.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the United States Many teachers entertain a conviction that most text-books for use in grammar and high-school grades, especially in the latter, require too much time for a thorough mastery of their contents. The number of subjects taught in schools Of all kinds and grades has greatly multiplied in recent years; but the school day is no longer than it was - in fact, it is shorter; nor has the school year been lengthened much, least of all in towns and cities. Consequently there is much complaint concerning overloaded courses Of study and crowded annual, weekly, and daily programs. There are those among educators, and others interested in educational improvement, who advocate a reduction in the number of subjects taught and a more intensive study Of the branches retained. It is not within the province Of this Preface to predict how the evil complained of will be remedied; but experience in the schoolroom has led many teachers to believe that less voluminous text-books would be at least a partial remedy. If the demands of the age require an increasingly greater number of subjects to be taught, it follows that less time must be given to each subject. But unless the text-books arc proportionately reduced in their scope, the attempt to get over them will result in skimming and Skipping, and consequently in an imperfect and evanescent knowledge of the contents.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State and Municipal Government in the United States In spite of the importance and interest of international and national questions of policy and in spite of the rapidly widening sphere of federal legislation and administration the life of an American citizen is affected more often by the agencies of local government than by those of the national government. Under the protection of the Federal Constitution the life and property of the citizen are governed and protected by state, not federal, laws. In his political capacity the citizen takes part in both the federal and the local government in accordance with state regulations. Acting under the state laws are the particular political units in which the citizen may reside - the county, city, or town. To the authorities of these the citizen most fre quently looks for governmental support and regulation. Yet these local bodies are distinctly subordinate to and created by the authority of the state and are supervised and regulated by it. It is the purpose of this book to discuss the organization, the distribution of powers and functions, and the operation of these agencies of local government. Other books have dealt with state government and state administration or with munici pal government and municipal administration, but this book covers both state and municipal government, treating the two as a single manifestation of local government. With this in mind the book has been divided into five parts. In Part I the federal system and the state constitutions as the fundamental basis of local government are discussed. Part II deals with the political system - the electorate in theory and in action, in primaries, in election campaigns, and in its direct action in the use of the initiative, referendum, and recall. Part III deals with state government - the different organs and the functions which these organs perform. State administration, which is rapidly being extended both directly and through the supervisory power of the state, is discussed in its various manifestations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government in the United States: National, State, and Local Merits of Local self-government. - In the United States, local self-government is regarded as one of the chief merits of our political system, and is often declared to be one of the inalienable rights of the people. One great advantage of local self-government is that it brings government near the door of every citizen, and permits the people of each locality, who are most familiar with their own local condi tions and who know best what are their local needs, to regu late their own affairs as they see fit. Also, such a system is well calculated to secure responsibility. So long as the local authorities are chosen by the community from its own inhabitants and are constantly under the eyes of the people, they can be more effectively controlled and made amenable to local public opinion than is possible where they are chosen by authorities distantly removed. An other irnportant advantage of local self-government is that it serves as a training school for the political education of the citizens. Allow them the privilege of choosing their own local officials and of regulating their own local concerns, and their interest in public affairs will be stimulated and their political intelligence increased and broadened. This not only will tend to secure more responsible government (local, state, and national), but will produce a moreoactive type of citizenship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings on American State Government The editor offers this second volume of readings to students and to the public in the hope that it may help to make more familiar the actual working of our state governments. It is mat ter for regret that there is no such source of information as the Congressional Record affords in matters relating to the national government. So much of the real activity of the state legislatures taking place in the comparative seclusion Of committee, combined with the incomplete nature and intent of the current press reports, forces the student of the real life of the state lawmaking bodies to rely upon the agencies which are coming into existence to remedy this defective publicity and Observation. State documents, too, are, in the main, rather statistical and local in character. The messages of the governors are frequently, however, quite invaluable sources, while the Opinions of our courts and the conferences of the bar associations are a seemingly hitherto unworked mine. To the field workers in the study of actual government - the newspaper re vmrters and magazine writers - the public and students owe a debt they are not always conscious of. The editor desires to make grateful acknowledgment to the various publishers and authors, individually recognized in the text, who have generously permitted him to make use of selections from articles or works published or written by them. The editor of the present collection desires to express his deep indebtedness to his colleague and friend, Mr. William L. Bailey, for his invaluable assistance in the preparation of this volume. Not only did he furnish many of the selections, but he counseled with respect to the general plan of the book; and, finally, the editor, called abroad on a public mission, was obliged to turn over to him the arduous task of seeing the volume through the press.

The earlier chapters may appear too simple, while some teachers may consider the later ones too difficult. I hope, however, that experience will prove that the attempt to lead the pupil along a gentle upward grade has been successful. It has been my experience that a reasonable amount of detail makes a subject more intelligible and realistic to the pupil, and thus enables him to prepare and remember it better. I would urge the importance of requiring the prepara tion of the suggestive questions at the end of the chapter. IT his will lead to independence of thought and judgment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A d104 Book on Civil Government in the United States If all the laws Of the state are self-imposed, that is, if there is no power outside its body of peo ple which dictates to it in any way, the sovereignty state is said to be sovereign. This word does not admit of comparison: one state cannot be more sovereign than another; and a small state, in this respect, stands on an equality with a large one. The sovereignty of a state consists in the absolute right to control its own members, and in the absolute right to resist any inter ference in its affairs by any other state. The first of these rights constitutes its internal sovereignty; the second, its external sovereignty. From these state ments it will be seen that Boston is not a state, that Massachusetts is not a sovereign state. The United States is a sovereign state or nation. Great Britain and Russia are both sovereign states. Having now defined a state, we are prepared to define civil government as control by law exercised by the state over its members as such.

The government of the United States cannot be intelligently discussed as a constitutional system until we clearly determine what we mean by a constitutional government; and the answer to that question is in effect a theory of politics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The A B C of the Government of the United States The citizen of the United States in his 'daily life comes in contact with at least three and sometimes with five distinct divisions of government. If he lives in the South, he will be controlled by the Federal, State and County governments; if he lives in Greater New York, he will be under the Federal, State, County, City and Borough supervision. All of these govern ments exist on the same area but distinct from each other and without communication or conference; each has its own powers, finances and officers. Within its own sphere, each is supreme. Common to all government is a system of checks and balances in order that no individual or group of individuals may gain autocratic power. The extent of each zone or circle of government and its activities are sketched in the chapters which follow.

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.
