Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Presidential Elections I have endeavored to collect and present all important mat ters relating to the presidency, beginning with the constitu tional history of the office, covering every public event and discussion which had a perceptible influence in determining who should hold the office, and in connection therewith to note the origin and sketch the history of all political parties, however ephemeral, that rose above the rank of a local faction. And, since one President is different from another, I have tried to show wherein and in what manner the personal quali ties of the Presidents have affected the course of public events and of the national history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Political Parties in the State of New-York: From the Acknowledgement of the Independence of the United States to the Close of the Presidential Election in Eighteen Hundred Forty-Four In a Democratic form of Government, Where the people are themselves the sovereign rulers, it is nat urally to be expected, that a deep and pervading in terest in the movements of Statesmen and Politicians, Will be at all times manifested. The character and conduct of those individuals who are honored with the public confidence, are subjects in relation to which there always exists a desire to be enlightened. The nature of our Institutions is such, that every man becomes, to a certain extent, a politician; and no one can be exalted so high, as not to feel the popular scrutiny, or yield to the popular will. It is for these reasons, that the History of Political Parties becomes so full of importance to the intelligent and reflecting voter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Presidents Are Made There is a general impression that presidents are elected upon issues; that is, questions of national policy that arise from time to time, supposedly every four years. This is a mis take, as few presidents have been chosen on is sues, and few issues have been settled by presi dential elections. Personality and Opportunity have had much to do with the result, and it is interesting to note how often accident or inci dent has played an important part in president making. Parties are the natural outgrowth of politics. For the most part men have voted for their party candidate regardless of issues, often when they knew that the party candidate was not the best man and that the party platform was wrong on the main issues. Party allegiance in a large majority of cases overtops patriotic judgment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A History of the Presidency Classic Reprint written by Edward Stanwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Presidency The basis of this book is the History of Presidential Elec tions, originally published in 1884. In the preparation of that work the meagreness and comparative inaccessibility of material concerning the early elections made the chapters that deal with that period somewhat barren. Increasing abundance of material and greater familiarity with the political history of more recent times caused a broadening of the plan, and led to the result that the later chapters of the original work, and still more the chapters added in subsequent editions, in 1888, 1892, and 1896, were much more than a history of the elections. I have thought that the usefulness of the book might be greatly enhanced by rewriting a large part of it, supplying deficiencies by a more diligent search for and study of the facts relating to the presidency in the early days of the gov ernment, and enriching it throughout with new personal, explanatory, and other enlightening matter, thus making the whole work uniform in method. This has enabled me to introduce a fuller discussion of some of the political problems to which the constitutional provisions regarding the presiden tial office have given rise. More important still, the revision and expansion of the work have given me a much-desired opportunity to modify some opinions expressed in the original book which a more careful and thorough examination of origi nal sources of information has led me to regard as not well founded. The last consideration has the more weight in view of the use that has been made of the book in the history depart ments of our colleges.

Download or read book The Democratic Party written by Walter W. Spooner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Democratic Party: A History HE Democratic party has had an uninterrupted exist ence of nearly one hundred and thirty years. Founded in 1791 with Thomas Jefferson as its chief spon sor, it attracted immediately the enthusiastic and affection ate support of the masses of the people, who were determined that the institutions and government of the United States should have the character of a democracy and not an aristocratic system based upon the superior presump tions and pretensions of a few. Its development was so rapid that at the national elections of 1792 it secured control of the popular branch of Congress and cast 55 of the total 132 Electoral votes for President and vice-president. In 1796 it lacked but two votesxof the number required to decide the result in the 'electoral College; and in 1800 it won a triumphant victory, electing the President and Vice President and also a marked majority of the members of each house of Congress. Thus established as the ruling power of the nation, it was so maintained by the people, nearly always by overwhelming majorities, for an unbroken period of forty years, when it experienced a temporary reverse without, however, any abatement of its vitality or deviation from its original principles or character. Those principles and that character, distinguishing it as the party of the masses of the people in composition, instincts, action, and general acceptation, it has since preserved through all the vicissitudes of its fortunes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address to the People of the United States on the Presidential Election As a citizen of Tennessee, and a candidate for Elector of President and Vice-President of the United States in one of the Electoral Districts of this state, the undersigned has heretofore assigned thro' the medium of the newspapers, some of the reasons which have induced his determination to support Mr, Crawford. As a citizen of this great Republic, and possessing the rights and privileges common to every member thereof, he now avails himself of the opportunity afforded by the Press, to furnish to those concerned, some of the reasons which in his opinion ought to operate against the selection of other candidates. In undertaking this investigation, which, with regard to at least one of the aspirants of his own state, he conceives an imperious duty to himself and his country, he is well aware that he will undergo the censures and upbraiding of sycophants and partisans, many of whom entertain in reality the same opinions with himself, but make different professions; that he will be termed violent and abusive, when he is merely referring to acts of violence and abuse in others; and that he will be denounced by demagogues, as seeking to gratify personal hostility, when he only expresses what they know and feel, but have not courage to pronounce.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Presidency: From 1897 to 1909 This continuation of the "History of the Presidency" covers the three presidential campaigns of 1900, 1904, and 1908, together with a somewhat comprehensive notice of the important political events of the whole period, whether they did or did not have a perceptible influence upon the result of a general election, and a discussion of the evolution of the presidential office. It has thus the advantages and the disadvantages of an attempt to present the political history of the most recent times. Any one competent to prepare such a history must have been by conviction a member of one of the two great parties; but it is hoped that any views herein expressed will be found not to be colored by offensive partisanship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primary Elections: A Study of the History and Tendencies, of Primary Election Legislation The Fathers of the Republic grappled with the problem of establishing a form of government in which the holders of political power should be responsible to the political people, rather than to a king; and in this their labors were crowned with success. In the course of a few generations, how ever, the political party, unforeseen by the Fathers, grew up and, although an extra-legal body, over shadowed the regularly constituted agencies of government. One of the great problems of the last generation and of our own day is the establishment of a form of party government in which the holders of party power shall be responsible to the voters of the party, rather than to an autocrat or an oligarchy. To secure amenability of party authorities to the party will to establish a constitutional and demo cratic government within the party - this is a task at which the American people now labor. There is no more important chapter in the history of democracy than that which deals with the progress and the prospects of this great movement.

Download or read book The Presidential Campaign of 1832 Classic Reprint written by Samuel Rhea Gammon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presidential Campaign of 1832 The presidential campaigns of 1824, 1828 and 1852 are closely connected by two t0pics, the development of political parties and the early application of the nominating convention idea. So close ly related are these two interesting features of our political history during the years 1822-1832, that it is impossible to treat either separately in a manner at all consistent with coherence. Considerations of space rendered necessary to some extent a choice between these two tepics; that is, between the emergence of new na tional parties and the development and application of the nominat ing convention idea. Therefore chief place was assigned to the emergence of parties, and as much attention given to the political conventions as a monograph of this nature permitted. Furthermore, adequate treatment of the presidential campaign of 1882 necessarily involves a study of the two campaigns immediately preceding it. It was this which made necessary the brief summary of those two con tests contained in the first chapter.
