Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the People of the State of Illinois IT has seemed to the author that the wisdom of the fathers, in separating the functions of government into three departments, and entrusting them to different groups of persons, was not sufficiently appreciated. The changes which are suggested by the discontented of to-day' would practically destroy this' safeguard of our liberties. If this little volume shall assist in impressing upon the youth of our State, not only the excellence of the dis tinction between the Legislative, Executive and Judicial powers, but also the fact that safety lies in keeping them distinct, the object of the writer will be attained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered a microcosm of the nation, the state of Illinois stretches almost four hundred miles from its northern limit at the Wisconsin line to its southern tip at Cairo, nestled between Kentucky and Missouri. Its political culture is as intriguing as the state is long. Illinois has produced presidents and leading members of Congress. It also has a long history of political corruption, including, in recent years, the federal indictments of two consecutive governors. The population of the state is exceptionally diverse, with a significant number of new immigrants. Its political allegiance, once firmly Republican, has trended ever more Democratic. Illinois can be divided neatly into three distinct regions: Chicago, the suburban collar surrounding the city, and the ninety-five downstate counties. Based on the research and experience of respected veterans of Illinois politics, this book shows how the government runs, how politics operates, and what obstacles and opportunities exist for change. It explains how power is exercised and how parties compete for it. For engaged citizens, scholars, and students, Illinois Politics: A Citizen's Guide is a timely and much-needed roadmap for positive change.

Download or read book Basic Illinois Government written by David Kenney and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This latest revision of a classic text presents a comprehensive view of government in Illinois. David Kenney and Barbara L. Brown begin by describing the role of states in the federal system and the basic nature of Illinois as a governmental entity. Next they offer a thorough description of the policy-making process in government. They discuss the three political regions of Illinois--Chicago, Cook County and the collar counties, and downstate--and they outline recent trends in Illinois voter turnout, ticket splitting, party organization, the election schedule, voter qualifications, and the regulation of campaign finance. The problems created by the decennial redrawing of district lines, including the redistricting of 1991, are covered in Kenney and Brown's treatment of the legislative branch of the government. Special emphasis is given to the question of who goes to the General Assembly and who its leaders are, along with a full description of the legislative procedure. Turning to the executive branch, Kenney and Brown first focus on the office of governor. Considerable attention is given to the multiple terms of James R. Thompson, Illinois' longest serving governor, and the election in 1991 of James Edgar. The authors conclude the chapter with a description of the administrative structure of the executive branch. The Illinois court system and the jurisdictions of its three levels are presented as Kenney and Brown turn to the judicial branch of government. They provide biographical information on each of the current justices of the Illinois Supreme Court with particular emphasis on their partisanship. The judgeship selection process is carefully considered and Operation Greylord, which revealed pervasive corruption in the Cook County courts, is discussed. As is the case in each of the chapters on the branches of government, Kenney and Brown offer detailed descriptions of current public officials. Basic Illinois Government also includes chapters on local government, state and local finance, and policy-making issues in education, corrections, welfare, and transportation. In the local government section Kenney and Brown make clear the powers and functions of counties, townships, special districts, and municipal corporations, giving special attention to Chicago and Cook County. They compare the taxing and spending policies of Illinois to those of the rest of the United States and review in detail the controversial income tax increase of 1983 and 1989 with its extension in 1991.

His individuality requires freedom from unnecessary restraint for its full develop ment; his social instinct necessitates society. Society for its proper organization and healthful existence needs government to protect rights, and enforce the performance of duties. Man, then, desires, or should desire, the greatest freedom consistent with public order. Governments, generally speaking, are of three kinds, as regards the source of the ruling power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of World War II, the primary political regions of Illinois, Chicago and “downstate,” have lost population, wealth, and political power to a third region, the suburban collar, which has relentlessly expanded outward from Chicago. At the same time, legislative service has changed from a largely part-time “citizen” activity into a “professional,” career-oriented pursuit. Parochial perspectives of elected officials have intensified as reflected in candidates’ promises to deliver their districts’ “fair share” of government spending. The state legislature has become an arena in which each region battles for its own fair share, rather than an instrument for comprehensively addressing the state’s problems. The authors foresee the emergence of political coalitions linking downstate and Chicago—historically at odds—in efforts to protect their “shares” and contend with the suburban collar. Illinois’s political leaders face the challenge of looking beyond district interests to the broader concerns of work-force quality and statewide economic prosperity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois and the Nation: A Practical Treatise on State and National Civics The State of Illinois expends many millions of dollars annually for educational purposes in order that her schools may prepare their pupils for good citizenship. In these days it 'is not enough that our youths become honest, industrious, and law-abiding citizens. They must be educated in the elementary principles and practical workings of our republican form of government. Igno rance in regard to these matters is far too prevalent among our people. New questions, such as concern the civil service, direct legislation, proportional representa tion, and kindred subjects constantly rise and must be met in a practical way. Unless the people understand the present machinery of our government, they can judge neither of its merits and demerits, nor of those of any proposed alteration. This book was written in the hope of promoting the study of the governments of Illinois and the nation, and of hastening the time when Civil Government, or Civics, should be added to the list of required studies for our common schools. This hope, first expressed by the author in 1887, has been realized in the amendment to our school laws in 1905 making Civics and the History of Illinois common school studies.

Book excerpt: The Address was delivered at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, during the American Civil War, four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the decisive Battle of Gettysburg. In just over two minutes, Lincoln invoked the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence and redefined the Civil War as a struggle not merely for the Union, but as "a new birth of freedom" that would bring true equality to all of its citizens, and that would also create a unified nation in which states' rights were no longer dominant. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
