Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Cyclopedia, Vol. 5: A Popular Dictionary of General Knowledge; Code-Demotica Less authority than they afterward acquired all these existed before the legislation of Lycur gus; so also the distinction between Spartans and Laconians, and the still greater d1st1nct10n between the former and their serfs the helots. Usages had grown up corresponding to this isolation of a small number in the midst of a numerous subject people, and it was for the carrying out more efficiently the design of these usages that Lycurgus prepared the code whlch thenceforth became the fixed law of Sparta. In like manner the Athenian state was harmonized by the laws of Solon, but more particularly by his constitution of political powers. The ar chonship, the areopagus, and the council of 400 were constituent parts of the government before his revision of the laws. The assembly of the people had also taken some part in public affairs, but in a rude, irregular manner, without any fixed authority or prescribed mode of proceed ing. Solon constituted it the chief legislative body, yet with the restriction that they were to consider only what was proposed by the senate. This restriction was afterward evaded, because the assembly could modify any propo sitiou that came before them without sending it back to the senate for approval; and again, when a law was desired by the people, any one could present it to the senate and procure the preliminary action necessary for bringing it be fore the people. A still greater popular power was conferred by the judicial authority given to the dicasteries, which Were composed of a large number of citizens, drawn by lot, pre sided over by one of the archons. The num ber of jurors in important cases was very large, sometimes including the whole body of citizens qualified to serve. The other laws of Solon corresponded with this development of the popular element. All citizens over the age of 20 were entitled to speak and vote in the assembly, and to sit as jurors in the dicasteries; trade and manufacturing industry were en couraged, and intercourse with foreigners was promoted by giving to them greater privileges than were allowed by any other Grecian state. Still it appears that all his legislation was in consonance with the spirit of the people, and the particular laws were probably for the most part reenactments of customs already existing, but with some wholesome restraints or new provisioiis intended for the maintenance of the argest liberty within the proper limit of civil order. - The same principle is again exhibited In the Roman laws of the twelve tables. The account given by Livy is, that commissioners were sent into Greece to examine the laws and institutions of the principal states, and to transcribe the laws of Solon; that atter their return, another commission (the decemvirs) was constituted to draw up a code of laws, the result of which was the compilation of the twelve tables. But the laws of Solon were certainly not incorporated in the code of the decemvirs, nor, so far as we are able to judge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New American Cyclopedia, Vol. 5: A Popular Dictionary of General Knowledge; Chartreuse Cougar Inious; and in a speech on Feb. 8 attempted t e first elaborate exposure of the features of that bill, as viewed b its opponents. In the general opposition to e Nebraska bill he took a leading part, and the reflection of 8 of his proposed amendments was t o htto be of such significance as bearing on the very usation, that it may be well to state them. Gl'he first proposed to add after the we sub'eet only to the constitution of the United States, in section 14, the following clause Under which the people of the territory through their appropriate representatives may, if they see fit, prohibit the existence of slavery therein) This was rejected, yeas 10, na 8 86. The second proposed to give practical c act to the principle of popular sov ereignty by providing for the election by the people of the territory of their own governor, judges, and secretary, instead of leaving, as in the bill, their appointment to the federal ex ecutive. This was defeated, yeas 1 0, nays 80. He then proposed an amendment of the boundary, so as to have but one territory, named Nebraska, instead of two entitled respec tively Nebraska and Kansas. This was rejected, yeas 8, nays 84. His opposition to the bill was ended by a final and earnest retest against it on the night of its pangs. Hile thus vigilant in maintaining his principles on the slavery ques tiqn, Mr. Chase was constant in the discharge of the general duties of his position. To divorce the federal government from all connection with slavery; to confine its action strictly within con stitntional limits; to uphold the rights of indi viduals and of the states; to foster with equal care all the great interests of the country, and to secure an economical administration of the national finances, were the general aims which he endeavored, both by his votes and his sggeches, to promote. On the interests of the est he always kept a watchful eye, claiming that the federal treasury should de fray the expense of providing for the safety of navigation on our great inland seas, as well as on the Atlantic an Pacific coasts, and advocat ing liberal aid by the federal government to the construction of a railroad to the Pacific by the best, shortest, and cheapest route. He was an earnest supporter of the policy of the free homestead movement, in behalf of which he expressed his views during the first session of his term, on presenting a petition for grant ing the public ands, in limited quantities, to actual settlers not possessed of other land. He was also an early advocate of cheap postage, and an unwearied o ponent of extravagant ap propriations - In J y, 1855, Mr. Chase was nom.

Download or read book The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture written by Michael B. Montgomery and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture explores language and dialect in the South, including English and its numerous regional variants, Native American languages, and other non-English languages spoken over time by the region's immigrant communities. Among the more than sixty entries are eleven on indigenous languages and major essays on French, Spanish, and German. Each of these provides both historical and contemporary perspectives, identifying the language's location, number of speakers, vitality, and sample distinctive features. The book acknowledges the role of immigration in spreading features of Southern English to other regions and countries and in bringing linguistic influences from Europe and Africa to Southern English. The fascinating patchwork of English dialects is also fully presented, from African American English, Gullah, and Cajun English to the English spoken in Appalachia, the Ozarks, the Outer Banks, the Chesapeake Bay Islands, Charleston, and elsewhere. Topical entries discuss ongoing changes in the pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar of English in the increasingly mobile South, as well as naming patterns, storytelling, preaching styles, and politeness, all of which deal with ways language is woven into southern culture.
