Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Right of Suffrage: With an Appendix There is a degree of popular influence admitted into some of the European governments, which mod ifies, and sometimes to a great extent, the exercise of the executive authority, and gives it a direction and influence highly favorable to popular rights. But there is no country in Europe where political and civil lib erry and popular rights form the very basis and funda mental principles of the government, as in the United States of America. In those countries, many of the most important powers of government are inherited by birth; and the people have no voice in designating the persons who shall exercise them. The powers of the government may be said to be embodied in certain families by hereditary right; and those who inherit them, to a certain extent, constitute the government of the country. They will, of course, be vigilant to suppress and prevent any movement of the people that shall have a tendency to deprive them of these pow ers, or to direct them so as to give an ascendancy to popular influence.

This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the American Law of Elections The work is entitled the american law OF elections. The authorities cited are chiefly American authorities. Upon this subject we are, from the very necessities of the case, building up an American common law. It is not asserted that the English authorities are of no value upon this branch of the law. On the contrary they have been freely cited whenever deemed applicable and useful. It was deemed proper, however, to keep steadily in view the fact that the genius of our institutions, the character of our political sys tem, and the principles upon which the right of suffrage in this country is founded, all difi'er so radically from those of England as to diminish very greatly the value of English precedents in election cases; and the effort has been to show that our own tribunals have by a long course of judicial decisions, settled the law of this country, as it relates to the questions treated, upon a firm and lasting basis.

Barnett, Esq., for valuable assistance in the arrangement of the matter for this edition, and in editing the same, as well as in the preparation of the table of contents, table of cases, and index.

Download or read book Against Elections written by David Van Reybrouck and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small book with great weight and urgency to it, this is both a history of democracy and a clarion call for change. "Without drastic adjustment, this system cannot last much longer," writes Van Reybrouck, regarded today as one of Europe's most astute thinkers. "If you look at the decline in voter turnout and party membership, and at the way politicians are held in contempt, if you look at how difficult it is to form governments, how little they can do and how harshly they are punished for it, if you look at how quickly populism, technocracy and anti-parliamentarianism are rising, if you look at how more and more citizens are longing for participation and how quickly that desire can tip over into frustration, then you realize we are up to our necks." Not so very long ago, the great battles of democracy were fought for the right to vote. Now, Van Reybrouck writes, "it's all about the right to speak, but in essence it's the same battle, the battle for political emancipation and for democratic participation. We must decolonize democracy. We must democratize democracy." As history, Van Reybrouck makes the compelling argument that modern democracy was designed as much to preserve the rights of the powerful and keep the masses in line, as to give the populace a voice. As change-agent, Against Elections makes the argument that there are forms of government, what he terms sortitive or deliberative democracy, that are beginning to be practiced around the world, and can be the remedy we seek. In Iceland, for example, deliberative democracy was used to write the new constitution. A group of people were chosen by lot, educated in the subject at hand, and then were able to decide what was best, arguably, far better than politicians would have. A fascinating, and workable idea has led to a timely book to remind us that our system of government is a flexible instrument, one that the people have the power to change.
