Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Charter of Democracy: Address of Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Ex-President of the United States, Before the Ohio Constitutional Convention, February 21, 1912 But there is one kind of recall in which I very earnestly believe, and the immediate adoption of which I urge. There are sound reasons for being cau tious about the recall of a good judge who has rendered an unwise and improper decision. Every public servant, no matter how valuable, and not omitting Washington or Lincoln or Marshall at times makes mistakes. Therefore we should be cautious about recalling the judge, and we should be cautious about interfering in any way with the judge in decisions which he makes in the ordi nary course as between individuals. But when a judge decides a constitutional question, when he decides what the people as a whole can or can not do, the people should have the right to recall that decision if they think it wrong. We should hold the judiciary in all respect; but it is both absurd and degrading to make a fetish of a judge or of anyone else. Abraham Lincoln said, in his first inaugural.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Democracy and the Constitution Conservative statesmen, on the other hand, whether peers or commoners, have been equally emphatic that their main object in resisting the Parliament Bill has been to protect the people from being balked of their real desires by the Chamber of their own election. The ancient powers of the House of Lords have been defended by Conservatives almost exclusively on the ground that they ensured the triumph of the genuine will of the people against a capricious, selfish, or obsolescent House of Commons. The strongest argument for the Referendum takes a similar trend: the best method of giving effect to the sacred will of the people is to refer each legislative measure separately to the decision of the citizens voting an explicit yes or no on each particular issue as it arises.

Book Synopsis The Federalist Papers by : Alexander Hamilton
Download or read book The Federalist Papers written by Alexander Hamilton and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.
Book Synopsis The Essentials of a Written Constitution (Classic Reprint) by : Harry Pratt Judson
Download or read book The Essentials of a Written Constitution (Classic Reprint) written by Harry Pratt Judson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of a Written Constitution Aristocracy and democracy, in the political sense, it will be noticed, are merely relative terms. There is no exact point at which a community ceases to be aristocratic and becomes democratic, and it is quite obvious that a community may be aristocratic as respects a second and at the same time democratic in relation to a third. France under the Orleans monarchy vested supreme political power in some voters, while under the second empire there were More than one of the states of our Union at the outset had suffrage laws so restrictive in character that they were decidedly aristocratic as compared with their present status, although undoubtedly democratic in comparison even with France under Louis Philippe. An organized political community, independent of external control, is commonly called a state. There is, however, often a confusion of thought arising from the more or less unconscious use of the term state in two different senses. These two applications of the term should be sharply distinguished, and the distinction kept always in mind. In the larger sense the state includes the whole community living in a given terri tory and subject to the political authority of its government. In the limited sense the state includes only that portion of the community which has political authority over the whole, and whose agent in the exercise of that authority is the government. The state in the larger sense we may, for convenience, call the social state. The other may be called the political state. The members of the social state are all subject to law. The political state creates law and enforces it. Political power belongs to the political state, to be sure, for the protection and welfare of the social state. But in the exercise of that power the political state has no legal superior. Its will is law for all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Extreme rigidity in our federal and state constitutions. Amendment is made as difficult as possible; in some states it is practically impossible. The assumption of constitution makers seems to have been that eternal wisdom was possessed by the generation entrusted with the making of the constitution, and that the results of their labors should be crystallized into perma nent, unchanging form.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitution of the United States Its Friends and Foes: Address Statesmen not in sympathy with this revolutionary program are retired to private life, while political adventurers, prating of reform, strut across the political stage, deriding the clauses of the Constitution, framed with so much care and prayer, and promising to modernize it to suit the clamor of the hour. The voice of history has sunk into a whisper, and hysteria rules in its stead. The situation presented is unprecedented. That it is big with bane to the Republic unless checked or circumvented is obvious. Its grav ity can hardly be exaggerated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on the Constitution of the United States: Published During Its Discussion by the People, 1787-1788 In 1888 the editor selected from the pamphlet arguments published during the discussion of the Constitution of the United States, prior to its ratification by the States, a collection of fourteen tracts, and printed them in a volume under the title of Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States. The reception given that collection clearly proved that these writings were only neglected because of their rarity and inaccessibility, and has induced the editor to collect another, though largely similar class of writings, which he believes of equal value and equally unknown. In the great discussion which took place in the years 1787 and 1788 of the adoption or rejection of the Constitution of the United States, one of the important methods of influencing public opinion, resorted to by the partisans and enemies of the proposed frame of government, was the contribution of essays to the press of the period. The newspapers were filled with anonymous articles on this question, usually the product of the great statesmen and writers of that period. Often of marked ability, and valuable as the personal views of the writers, the dispersion and destruction of the papers that contained them have resulted in their almost entire neglect as historical or legal writings, and the difficulty of their proper use has been further increased by their anonymous character, which largely destroyed the authority and weight they would have carried, had their true writers been known.

Book Synopsis The Democracy of Abraham Lincoln by : Henry Cabot Lodge
Download or read book The Democracy of Abraham Lincoln written by Henry Cabot Lodge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Democracy of Abraham Lincoln: Address by Henry Cabot Lodge Before the Students of Boston University School of Law on March 14, 1913 For all these reasons, it seems to me, in these days of agitation and disquiet, when the fundamental principles upon which our Government rests and has always rested are assailed, that nothing could be more profitable and more enlightening than to know just what Lincoln's Opinions were as to democracy and the true principles of free government. I am well aware that objection may be made to Lincoln, as an authority for our guidance, of the same character as the one brought against the framers of the Constitution, which is that he died nearly half a century ago and that, therefore, however excellent he was in his own day and generation, he is now out of date as a guide in public questions because all conditions have so completely changed. It is quite true that Lincoln, like Washington, never saw a telephone, an automobile or a flying machine and that economic conditions as well as those of business and finance have been radically altered since his day. But this is really an inept objection because the subject upon which we seek to know his thoughts concerns the relation of human nature to certain forms and principles of government among men, most of which were as familiar to the speculations of Plato and Aristole as they are to us; some of which are older than recorded history while the very youngest have been known, discussed and experimented with for centuries. So I think we may dismiss the suggestion that Lincoln is antiquated and realize that upon the principles of free government and the capabilities of human beings in that direction he is an authority as ancient as the Greek philosophers and I as modern as the last young orator who has just discovered that this very comparative world is not abstractly and ideally perfect. What, then, were the thoughts and opinions of Abraham Lincoln as to the principles upon which free and ordered popular government should rest? He alone can tell us. No one is vested with authority to proclaim to us what Lincoln thought or believed upon any subject: There is no high priest at that altar to utter oracles which no one else can question and which he alone can interpret. Lincoln's convictions and opinions are to be found in only one place, in his own speeches and writings which, like his fame, belong to his countrymen and to mankind. Fortunately we need not grope about to discover his meaning. Few men who have ever lived and played a commanding part in the world have had the power of expressing their thoughts with greater clearness or in a style more pellucid and direct than Lincoln. Of him it may truly be said that his state ments are demonstrations. You will search far before you will find a man who could state a proposition more irresistibly, leaving no avenue of escape, or who could use a more relentless logic than the President of the Civil War. We feel as we read his life that he had in him the nature 'of a poet, the imagination which pertains to the poetic nature and which was manifested not only in what he said and did but in his intuitive sympathy with all sorts and conditions of men. Combined with these attributes of the poetic genius, which, is as rare as it is impalpable, were qualities seldom found in than connection. He was an able lawyer and had the intellectual methods of the trained legal mind. He was also the practical man of aflairs and the great statesman, looking at facts with undazzled eyes and moulding men and even ts to suit his pur pose. There is no occasion for guesswork, assertion or speculation in regard to him when he turned away from the visions of the imagi nation to confront and deal with the hard problems of life and government, never to any man harder than they were to him.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Constitution of the United States The story of the Constitution is of truth stranger than fie tion. It is natural to attribute to an institution throughout its history that reputation which it bears in our own day. Many men are yet living who remember with startling dis tinctness a time when the Constitution seemed merely a piece of parchment; when the fate of the nation was as uncertain as the course of battle; when stern necessity compelled so liberal an interpretation of the supreme law of the land that states men refrained from forming conclusions on the tendency Of national administration, and, looking hopefully forward, sought new meanings in events where before they had sought interpretation by a construction Of words. Then, and not till then, in our history was the Constitution of the United States understood in its spirit as being the expression of the nation's mind, Whatever that mind might be. But no man now living can remember the angry days when the Constitu tion was yet a hope or a proposition debated between jealous States and still more jealous political leaders. NO one can re member the living opinions which, at the close of the eight eenth century, so nearly triumphed, and whose triumph would have dissolved a feeble union of States and encouraged the horrors of an anarchy only possible in a democracy. When the Opinions on national government in America to-day and opinions Of a century ago are contrasted, it is difficult to be lieve that we are the children of our fathers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy Today: An American Interpretation Under our form of government, the President occupies a place that has no exact parallel in the government of any other important country. In the last analysis we are gov erned by public Opinion, of which the President is chief exponent. He is the country's spokesman, not merely by' custom but by express Constitutional provision and man date. He is directed to inform Congress from time to time concerning the vital interests of the United States. He is also made the spokesman of the country in its dealings with foreign governments. The President's Messages to Congress are not merely a form of communication between the executive and the law making authority, but they are intended to give information and guidance to the citizenship. Thus we have a surprising quantity of important historical and governmental material of an authoritative kind in the unbroken series of Presiden tial messages and addresses, beginning with the first in augural of George Washington and coming down to the latest official utterance of Woodrow Wilson.
