Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the State of Pennsylvania, Including Local Government A State of the United States. A State is the largest political division of the United States. It has a distinct government of its own established by the people of the State. The first thirteen States of the United States had their origin in the thirteen colonies established by England in this country. Most of the other States had been organized as Territories before their admission into the union. In the United States a State is more distinctly a political organization and at the same time more definitely a member of the union and a part of the national govern ment than in any other nation of the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the People of the State of Pennsylvania A State or Commonwealth is. A public corporation, and has many rights also possessed by a free person. It can buy and sell property and hold it in possession. It can make contracts or agreements and compel those who form the contract to perform their part. Yet because it is the State and possesses many powers which a human being cannot possess or exercise, the State cannot be sued as easily as an individual or a private corporation. The State as a public corporation is next in rank to the United States. Public corporations of lesser rank are counties, cities, and boroughs. There are cases in which the United States, a State, a county, a city, or a borough may be sued. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Citizen in Pennsylvania: The Government of the State and of the Nation The purpose of this work is to present to the pupils in the public schools in the Commonwealth some practical infor mation as to the rights and duties which belong to American citizenship. The study of civics is {now receiving increased attention in our schools, particularly since the school laws require that teachers shall have a fair knowledge of civil government, including State and local government. In view of this legislation, a text - book to meet the needs of the schools should treat the local and State government as at least of equal importance with that of the Nation. It has been said that many a youth has grown to manhood with so little ap preciation of the Commonwealth in which he lives as to re gard it simply as a geographical division. The study of the State government and of the National Government are of equal importance. The student of civil government should begin with that which is near at hand and of immediate interest, and proceed to that which is distant and of remote concern. He should not begin with that rare and precious afterthought and ﬂower of government, the Constitution of the United States, but with the material forms that are close at hand. In connection with the ordinary lessons in reading, the children should be made acquainted with words suggesting civic ideas, as cit izen, soldier, officer, law, justice, country, state, city, and nation. Then, in elementary lessons, the children should gain general notions of local government and organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pennsylvania Boroughs The charter from Charles II. granting William Penn a princely domain to the west of the Delaware river, gave him the authority to "divide the country into Townes, Hundreds, and Counties, and to erect and incorporate Townes into Borroughes, and Borroughes into Citties, and to make and constitute ffaires and markets therein, with all other convenient priviledges and munities." This has been the fundamental clause in the municipal history of Pennsylvania since 1681. It gave Penn the right to perpetuate the institutions already in existence on the banks of the Delaware, or to modify them if he chose, and transplant to the new province other English institutions that he might consider necessary for the well governing of his people. This right he exercised by establishing the county as the largest political division of the province, by modifying the existing town with its court into the township under the authority of the county courts, and lastly by founding towns and villages, which he incorporated into the city and borough. Thus, by introducing the county, the township, the borough, and the city, he fixed the seal of his enduring influence upon the local government of Pennsylvania. The boroughs were established within a few years after the proprietarys arrival, and though they were but a handful during the colonial period, they form the connecting links between their numerous successors and the ancient boroughs of England.

Not only has the state as a governing authority received little attention, but its rela tion to the nation has been viewed in a distorted perspec tive. Naturally the student has come to look on state sovereignty and national supremacy as wholly external to himself, and apart from each other, instead of consonant elements in a great system. An examination of the powers exercised and the duties rendered by those local organs with which he is more or less acquainted by actual contact will enable him toplace both sovereignties in their proper positions with reference to each other. While this brief exposition of the government of Pennsylvania has been prepared to serve as a supplement for those who are already familiar with the important elements of civics, its further purpose is to aid the student to understand the.

Such a history is of peculiar interest to students of municipal questions, because the development of the government Of Philadelphia begins with the most characteristic form of a mediaeval English borough corporation, and, after passing through almost every system and phase Of municipal institutions, ends with a charter em bracing the latest ideas Of municipal government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Provincial Council of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1: From the Organization to the Termination of the Proprietary Government; Containing the Proceedings of Council From March 10, 1683, to November 27, 1700 To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The memorial of the American Philosophical Society held at Philadelphia, for promoting useful knowledge, and of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, by their committees for this purpose specially appointed, most respectfully showeth: That it is the misfortune of the Nations of the old Continent, that their early history is lost in the night of time. Excepting the Holy Scriptures, no records have been preserved of the first settlements of mankind. All else beyond a period not very remote is veiled in obscurity. Recourse has been had to fabulous traditions made up of fabled Heroes and Demi-gods in abundance, the offsprings of vanity and of ignorance. Of our British ancestors, nothing is known before the invasion of their island by Julius Caesar, of our German forefathers, the noble defence made by the immortal Herman against the legions of Varus, whom he defeated and conquered, is the first authentic account, after which follows a long period of darkness to the time of their great emperor Charlemagne. The ancient history of Asia, (the cradle of mankind) engages at this moment the attention of the learned of Europe. For that pupose, Asiatic societies have been formed under royal patronage, both in England and in France. The study of Egyptian antiquities is every where patronized, encouraged and promoted. Scientific travellers are sent to that country at royal expense, obelisks and other monuments are imported at an immense cost, and grace the public squares, the museums, and other repositories of the great capitals. England boasts of the rosetta monumental stone. France of her Egyptian obelisk, which once adorned ancient Thebes, and is now erected in the midst of her capital, where it is the most attractive object to the admiration of travellers. Unable to penetrate into the future, man loves to inquire into the past, to interrogate his most remote ancestors, and to learn from their experience how to pursue good and eschew evil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania The object of the series of hand books of which this is the pioneer is to give in compact form the salient facts relating to the history, development and present social, economic and political status of the different States of the Union. To those who are interested in any special phase of the development of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, it is hoped this book will be a guide for more comprehensive study than is afforded by its pages. It has been sought to treat as completely as possible in each chapter such matters as are essential to a full understanding of the physical characteristics, the aborigines, the colonists and later emigrants, the framework of government as first established and as it exists today. A study is made of the daily life of the people and methods of administration, of governmental, religious, social and domestic affairs, of State finance, of the sources of wealth, of the churches and other religious bodies, of conditions affecting the home, and the educational system, the professions, literature, art, science, and finally of penology. Great pains have been taken to verify the statistics to the latest date available. No one of the original States of the Union has had a greater influence than Pennsylvania; her natural wealth, her geographical position, her varied types of settlers have all combined to this end.
