Book excerpt: Our Changing Constitution: Large Print By Charles Wheeler Pierson The Constitution was the work of a convention of delegates from the states, who met in Philadelphia in May, 1787, and labored together for nearly four months. They included a large part of the best character and intellect of the country. George Washington presided over their deliberations. The delegates had not been called together for the purpose of organizing a new government. Their instructions were limited to revising and proposing improvements in the Articles of the existing Confederation, whose inefficiency and weakness, now that the cohesive power of common danger in the war of the Revolution was gone, had become a byword. This task, however, was decided to be hopeless, and with great boldness the convention proceeded to disregard instructions and prepare a wholly new Constitution constructed on a plan radically different from that of the Articles of Confederation. The contents of the Constitution, as finally drafted and submitted for ratification, may be described in few words. It created a legislative department consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives, an executive department headed by a President, and a judicial department headed by a Supreme Court, and prescribed in general terms the qualifications, powers, and functions of each. It provided for the admission of new states into the Union and that the United States should guarantee to every state a republican form of government. It declared that the Constitution and the laws of the United States made in pursuance thereof, and treaties, should be the supreme law of the land. It provided a method for its own amendment. Save for a few other brief clauses, that was all. There was no proclamation of Democracy; no trumpet blast about the rights of man such as had sounded in the Declaration of Independence. On the contrary, the instrument expressly recognized human slavery, though in discreet and euphemistic phrases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Constitution In times prosperous at home and peaceful abroad, the people of England have not desired of their rulers any change in the system of their representation. In domestic distress, or with foreign revolution, on the contrary, the clamour for such an experiment has been usually raised, but has hitherto been silenced by patient firmness on the part of the government. During last November, these two stimulants combined to produce in the country an unusual agitation: but the accession of the Whigs to office soothed the excitement, the gentry with the middle classes quieted the disorders of the southern counties, and the Belgic revolution threw fresh employment into the manufacturing towns.

This book was released on 2017-01-13 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our America and Our Constitution Fortunately for the success of the new govern ment, the men who drafted the Declaration and the Constitution that followed were men 'of trained minds. Still more fortunate for its success those that followed them were trained not only in mind, but had vision to see that freedom in the hands of an ignorant people may be a nation's undoing, and set up a sphere of broad education. Thus equipped, the new nation set about developing its people and its resources. While opening its doors practically to all the world it refused to share in the political problemsof the Old World. It is just as impossible for a nation to live unto itself as for a man to do so. Today American youth know that to prove true to their inherited principle of free government, they must be ready to interpret that principle not only at home, but so far as their country's honor is involved, they must be ready to interpret international affairs with the same sympathetic fairness. That readiness depends entirely on the soundness of their prepara tion for citizenship; their willingness to enter into that preparation depends on the soundness of their patriotism. The challenge rings out clearly and strongly. Surely no boy or girl in all of our broad land can fail to answer it.

Every additional power seized for the government must be taken from the reserved powers, or from powers lodged elsewhere by the organization of the govern ment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Methods of Changing the Constitutions of the States: Especially That of Rhode Island Most of the papers in this compilation have been prepared with a view to the practical action, at the times when they were issued, of the people and the legislators of the State of Rhode Island. They were not intended as literary or didactic treatises. They relate to a subject of no slight importance in the history and institutions of our American States, settled indeed in many, yet undetermined in some, - a subject upon which but little has been written. An English nobleman, than whom no one in foreign lands is more instructed, very recently told an American citizen that he was not able to find anything in print upon the subject of the mode of changing the American State constitutions. Jameson had indeed, in his work upon conventions, written some years since, given attention to the subject. But our works upon general constitutional law hardly refer to it. The action of our States has not yet passed into written history. The purpose of the compilation is to show that there are at least two methods of constitutional change in a State constitution; the first and original one consisting in the action of a convention of delegates elected by the people to frame a new or amended constitution, and the adoption of such new constitution by vote of a majority of the people of the State; all the proceedings being conducted pursuant to a law passed by the existing government. The second method arises from an express provision of an existing constitution (first introduced about 1820), which authorizes a legislature, with certain precautions, to propose amendments of the constitution to the people, to be determined by their majority vote.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Interprets the Constitution I wish now to submit a few remarks on the general pro position of amending the Constitution. As a general rule, I think we would much better let it alone. No slight occasionshould tempt us to touch it. Better not take the first step, which may lead to a habit of altering it. Better, rather, habit uate ourselves to think of it as unalterable. It can scarcely be made better than it is. New provisions would introduce new difficulties, and thus create and increase appetite for further change. No, sir; let it stand as it is. New hands have never touched it. The men who made it have done their work, and have passed away. Who shall improve on what they did? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States: Its History and Constitution The contents of the present volume, by the late Pro fessor Alexander Johnston, first appeared as the article of the Encyclopaedia Britannica on the history and Con stitution of the United States. The narrative, it should be borne in mind, ends with the year 1887 -the last of the period entitled by the author The Reconstructed Nation: 1865 There are, however, few details which the events of the past two years have modified, and few which need to be supplemented. Some slight verbal changes, where evidently indicated, have been made in this sense, a note added with reference to the admission into the Union of Washington, Montana, and North and South Dakota, and the election of Harrison and Morton, and the prohibition of Chinese immigration chronicled. It has not been thought advisable, however, to change or supplement the text in two or three other instances in which statistics of 1889 might have been given, but in which the reader will perceive those of 1887 to have been retained as better preserving the con.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the American Constitution A long time has elapsed since the author undertook to draw out The Origin and Growth of the English Constitution, within the limits of two octavo volumes, the first of which is in the eighth edition, the second in the fourth. The very cordial reception given to that work throughout the Eng lish-speaking world and beyond it naturally suggested a sequel to be entitled The Origin and Growth of the American Constitution, which has been completed on the same plan. After thirty years of effort to unfold the histories of the two closely related constitutions as one progressive development, the author was blessed with a piece of good fortune which has more than requited all the labor bestowed. That good fortune consisted of the unearthing of a priceless document, very near the surface, which has cast a bright light into what was heretofore a very dark place. It explains for the first time the real history of the invention of that marvelous system of government, partly federal and partly national, given to the world by the Federal Con vention at the close of its labors at Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. Beyond that point the in uence of the document in question does not extend, - except in one important particular it sheds no new light on the after history. So far as this book is concerned, it is a mere episode, simply one link in a long chain of causation presented herein as a connected whole. It is, however, a great thing to know for certain that the most notable of all political inventions had a personal inventor; that the entirely unique and path-breaking creation embodied in the American Constitution came into being in a perfectly normal way; that its birth was neither mythical nor miraculous. Beginning upon that sane basis an effort has been made to unfold the growth of that Constitution according to the Historical Method, which regards all law, public and private, as a living and growing organism that changes as the relations of society change. When that method is applied to such data as are contained in printed documents, the growth of constitutions may be worked out by processes almost as exact as those employed in physical science. As Bishop Stubbs has happily ex pressed it: I confess that to me, as an old investigator, a good deal of the accepted theory of continuous history, in this region, at least, of history, seems to rest on arguments as sound, within its own material and area, as those on which Copernicus and Kepler worked out their astronomical con elusions.
