The Constitution of the United States Compared With Our Own by Hugh Seymour Tremenheere Pdf

Excerpt from The Constitution of the United States Compared With Our Own The state of our representation being probably about to be considered in the ensuing Session of Parliament, there will be a natural disposition in many minds to take a survey of some of the other systems of representative government which, equally with our own, have for their object the establishment of a rational freedom. Such representative governments are indeed but few. The hopes formed during upwards of thirty years of peace were dissipated (it is to be hoped only for a time) by the events of 1848; and the civilised world has been compelled to mourn over the failure of nearly all the attempts then made to add to the number of free governments, or to widen the foundations of liberty in those that did exist. Into the much-disputed question of the causes of those failures, it is not my present purpose to enter. Suffice it to say, that whoever has made them the subject of impartial study, must have found those latter years of continental history fertile in warnings as to the peril of delay when the season for salutary reform is fully come, and abounding in examples of the greater fault, of ruining all the hopes of temperate and reasonable ameliorations, by presumption, precipitancy, or personal ambition.

The Constitution of the United States Compared with Our Own by Hugh Seymour Tremenheere Pdf

In this comparative study of the American and English constitutions, Tremenheere follows the arrangement of Story's Commentaries and "state[s] in as compendious a manner as is consistent with clearness, the substance of that learned judge's remarks and opinions, upon each of the most important articles of the Constitution." To this he adds "the observations of the authors of the 'Federalist,' and also those of Mr. Justice Kent, under the same heads, together with extracts from any other writers whose facts and opinions may seem worthy of consideration in connection with those of the above principal authorities" (Introduction). Tremenheere [1804-1893] was a member of the Inner Temple. The author of six exhaustive reports on child labor, his work was the foundation for at least fourteen acts of Parliament.

The Story of the Constitution of the United States (Classic Reprint) by Francis Newton Thorpe Pdf

Excerpt from The Story of the Constitution of the United States The story of the Constitution is of truth stranger than fie tion. It is natural to attribute to an institution throughout its history that reputation which it bears in our own day. Many men are yet living who remember with startling dis tinctness a time when the Constitution seemed merely a piece of parchment; when the fate of the nation was as uncertain as the course of battle; when stern necessity compelled so liberal an interpretation of the supreme law of the land that states men refrained from forming conclusions on the tendency Of national administration, and, looking hopefully forward, sought new meanings in events where before they had sought interpretation by a construction Of words. Then, and not till then, in our history was the Constitution of the United States understood in its spirit as being the expression of the nation's mind, Whatever that mind might be. But no man now living can remember the angry days when the Constitu tion was yet a hope or a proposition debated between jealous States and still more jealous political leaders. NO one can re member the living opinions which, at the close of the eight eenth century, so nearly triumphed, and whose triumph would have dissolved a feeble union of States and encouraged the horrors of an anarchy only possible in a democracy. When the Opinions on national government in America to-day and opinions Of a century ago are contrasted, it is difficult to be lieve that we are the children of our fathers.

Constitutional History of the United States (Classic Reprint) by Nelson Case Pdf

Excerpt from Constitutional History of the United States Important additions have been made to the original Constitution by way of amendment, but scarcely more so than those which have come to it through the process of the gradual unfolding of its unexpressed meaning, which has naturally followed the expansion of our national domain, the development of our national re sources, the meeting of new responsibilities in govern ment, the contending with new difficulties which have confronted us in the execution of our newly acquired powers. While we have a wmtten, and therefore, in a' certain sense, a settled Constitution, it is an elastic one. Had the original Constitution of 1787 been so limited by its own terms that it could not have been construed to mean more than was actually and clearly expressed by the language in which it was clothed, our Government would soon have gone to wreck or have remained a feeble and insignificant member of the sisterhood of nations, unless by amendment of the old, or by the adoption of a new constitution new power had been given it. Fortunately it was not so framed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

United States and the States by C. Stuart Patterson Pdf

Excerpt from United States and the States: Under the Constitution While this is a second edition of a book published in 1888, it is to a great extent a new book. The text has been not only revised, but largely rewritten. The text is exclusively my work, but the references in the notes to the later cases are entirely the work of Mr. Reeder, who has prepared the table of cases and the index, and who has kindly read all the proofs.

The Framing of the Constitution of the United States (Classic Reprint) by Max Farrand Pdf

Excerpt from The Framing of the Constitution of the United States Nor is this intended to be a complete history. It is a brief presentation of the author's personal interpretation of what took place in the federal convention. It is merely a sketch in outline, the details of which each student must fill out according to his own needs. This book is founded upon the work the author has already referred to as edited by himself, The Records of the Federal Convention (new Haven, Yale University Press, 1911. 3 In the writing of it scarcely anything else has been used. The Records are so arranged as to render most of the citations easily found, and accordingly, with few exceptions, all footnote references have been omitted.

The Origin and Scope of the American Doctrine of Constitutional Law (Classic Reprint) by James Bradley Thayer Pdf

Excerpt from The Origin and Scope of the American Doctrine of Constitutional Law The Revolution came, and what happened then? Simply this we cut the cord that tied us to Great Britain, and there was no longer an external sovereign. Our conception now was that the people took his place that is to say, our own home population in the several States were now their own sovereign. So far as exist ing institutions were left untouched, they were construed by trans lating the name and style of the English sovereign into that of our new ruler, ourselves, the People. After this the charters, and still more obviously the new constitutions, were not so many orders from without, backed by an organized outside government, which simply performed an ordinary function in enforcing them; they were precepts from the people themselves who were to be gov erned, addressed to each of their own number, and especially to those who were charged with the duty of conducting the govern ment. No higher power existed to support these orders by com pulsion of the ordinary sort. The sovereign himself, having written these expressions of his will, had retired into the clouds; in any regular course of events he had no organ to enforce his will, except those to whom his orders were addressed in these documents. How then should his written constitution be enforced if these agencies did not obey him, if they failed, or worked amiss?

Excerpt from The Constitution of the United States at the End of the First Century IT has been my purpose, in the preparation of this volume, to set forth in a concise form the substance of the leading decisions of the Supreme Court, in which the several articles, sections, and clauses of the Constitution of the United States have been examined, explained, and interpreted. The inquiry covers the full period of a hundred years. In that time the more important, and the most important, provisions of that instrument have been discussed at the bar, and the questions arising from business transactions, from the relations of States to each other, from the relations of States to the national government, and questions growing out of our treaties With Indian tribes and with foreign nations, have been adjudicated by the Court.
