Maryland Politics and Government by Herbert Charles Smith,John T. Willis Pdf
Tucked between the larger commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia and overshadowed by the political maneuverings of its neighbor, Washington, D.C., Maryland has often been overlooked and neglected in studies of state governmental systems. With the publication of Maryland Politics and Government, the challenging demographic diversity, geographic variety, and dynamic Democratic pragmatism of Maryland finally get their due. Two longtime political analysts, Herbert C. Smith and John T. Willis, conduct a sustained inquiry into topics including the Maryland identity, political history, and interest groups; the three branches of state government; and policy areas such as taxation, spending, transportation, and the environment. Smith and Willis also establish a –Two Marylands” model that explains the dominance of the Maryland Democratic Party, established in the post_Civil War era, that persists to this day even in a time of political polarization. Unique in its scope, detail, and coverage, Maryland Politics and Government sets the standard for understanding the politics of the Free State (or, alternately, the Old Line State) for years to come.

The Northern troops marching to the defense of the Capital were not, in the eyes of Marylanders, the forces of law and order, but the hordes of the Abolitionists sent against a great Southern institution.

Political Problems and Personalities in Contemporary Maryland by Theodore F. Sheckels,Carl T. Hyden Pdf
Political Problems and Personalities in Contemporary Maryland provides a comprehensive rhetorical analysis of contemporary politics and political communication in Maryland at both the state and local levels. Theodore F. Sheckels and Carl Hyden approach rhetoric in a broader sense, arguing that actions by political players – including decisions on housing policy, urban redevelopment policy, and transportation policy—are not in a separate category from their messages. In many cases, they argue, actions are messages, often with important material consequences. Rather than focusing solely on previous or upcoming elections, as political communication has traditionally been examined, Sheckels and Hyden give considerable space to non-election topics, responding to current shifts in political communication scholarship and encouraging others to examine political communication at the local and state levels elsewhere in the United States. Scholars of communication, political science, rhetoric, and history will find this book of particular interest.
Maryland is a state located in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. It is bordered by Delaware to the east, Virginia to the south, West Virginia to the west, and Pennsylvania to the north. The state's largest city and capital is Annapolis, while the largest city by population is Baltimore. Founded in 1634, Maryland was a haven for English Catholics who faced persecution in England. The colony was named after Queen Henrietta Maria, the wife of King Charles I. During the American Revolution, Maryland played a vital role in the fight for independence. The state was the site of several key battles, including the Battle of Baltimore in 1814, which inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner". Today, Maryland is known for its bustling cities, historic landmarks, and scenic natural areas. The state's economy is diverse, with industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and technology contributing to its growth. Maryland is also home to several renowned universities, including Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland.
Community Leadership in Maryland, 1790-1840 by Whitman H. Ridgway Pdf
American democracy has fascinated generations of historians. They have probed its philosophical foundations and the structure of its institutions, but their studies reveal little about those who really wielded power in the formative years of the republic. Employing a sophisticated research design, Whitman Ridgway examines the changing leadership patterns in four diverse communities in Maryland from 1790 to 1840. The results indicate clearly the need to study the American democratic process at the local level. Ridgway selected Baltimore City, Frederick, St. Marys, and Talbot counties -- representing the underlying economic and cultural diversity of one political culture, Maryland -- to evaluate who governed, how these patterns differed from one community to another, and how such patterns changed over time. The research design defines the scope of the study. Ridgway uses the decisional method of analysis, determining who actually made decisions, in order to identify the political leaders. His extensive research in manuscript and newspaper collections, tax and census data, and religious and geneological records gathered information on some 1,300 persons. This study of community power illuminates facets of a democratic society which perplexed Alexis de Tocqueville over a century ago. Ridgway demonstrates that, despite the expansion of popular participation in political affairs, the influence of the wealthy continued to be significant. He shows also how leaders without benefit of wealth or social ties to the oligarchies were able to enter community decision making. In a more modern context, this important book adds to the literature in several ways. Its greatest contribution is methological -- no longer can historians talk about power relationships without studying them directly. The work also compares two important periods, the first and second party eras, normally treated in isolation; and through this comparison it reveals much about democracy, egalitarianism, and power.
