Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citizenship of the United States In the more restricted meaning of the term, a citizen is a per son who has the right to vote for public officers and on public measures, and who is qualified to hold offices in the gift of the: people. But this definition is too narrow, for minors - who are not permitted to vote - and women - who are allowed to exercise the franchise in only a few of the states - are citizens. In the broad sense of the word, citizens are the people, the members of the state or nation, including men, women, and children. In the United States thev are the sovereign power.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rights and Duties of American Citizenship The purpose of the present work is to present to American youths practical information as to the rights and duties which attach to American citizenship. In the effort to do this in the clearest and most logical form, the stereotyped method of giving a running commentary upon the Constitution has been discarded. Of all political forms, the federal type is the most complex; and it is, therefore, little short of absurd to attempt, as do so many text-books on Civics, to explain to students who are without previous training the constitutional relations of our elaborate system of national, state, and local governments, without first giving to them a knowledge of the nature of political authority, the purposes for which it exists, and the general governmental means through which such purposes are attained. In the present work it is believed that this error has been avoided. The student is first given that information which is essential to an understanding of citizenship and government in general, before he is called upon to study the description of our own complex government in particular. This book is therefore divided into two parts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rights of Colored Men to Suffrage, Citizenship and Trial by Jury Object Stated. The object of this book is to call to mind, from the records of the past, some of many testimonies to be found of the rights and services of colored men. The exclusion of this class from social intercourse, throws them into the shade. Comparatively, they are withdrawn from general observation; and this circumstance, of itself, tends to a forgetfulness of their claims. It is a fact, that in proportion as the services they have rendered the country have faded from the memory, so it seems a callousness of feeling towards them has increased. It is not with the present generation of men, as with the generation who preceded it. Then, when the country had just emerged from the revolutionary struggle - when the services and sufferings of men of color were fresh in the memory - then, as says one who participated in the conflict - "The war over and peace restored, these men returned to their respective States and homes; and who could have said to them, on their returning to civil life, after having shed their blood in common with the whites, for the liberties of the country - 'You are not to participate in the rights or liberty for which you have been fighting!' Certainly no white man." But it is not so now; as is painfully evinced by the successive disfranchisements with which they have been visited, in the constitutions of New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, and by the recent vote of the Reform Convention of Pennsylvania. History of Services - Materials. It is to be regretted that effectual efforts were not made at an early day to furnish a history of the services of men of color. Even if it had been a collection of facts and testimonies merely, similar to the present attempt, it would have been a work of interest. Then the materials were more abundant - a greater number than at present were living, who were witnesses of their services; then the task would have been comparatively easy; but even as it is, the subject is a rich one. The present work does not exhaust it; it scarcely more than opens the way; other sources of information exist, which the compiler has not had access to; these should be explored and their hidden treasures brought to light. The records of the pension department at Washington, if examined with this view, would doubtless disclose important facts; and it may be, that, from private letters and correspondence of gentlemen who at an early period took an interest in the abolition of slavery, which may yet be preserved, much valuable information and testimony might be gleaned; and so, doubtless, there are other sources. The condition of the slave - all that relates to him - the multiplied wrongs he is subject to - the sundering of domestic ties - his scourgings - unrequited toil - mental and moral deprivations - and even his food and sleep; all have been examined and re-examined with minutest care. But the kindred duty we owe to the freeman of color - has it been discharged with equal fidelity? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There is a disposition on the part of many, especially in this country, to demand that the suffrage, or power of voting, be given to every citizen as a natural right, irrespective of his qualification to use it properly. No claim could be less warranted. The suffrage is a privilege, not a natural or inherent right. It is a reward for merit or capacity, not a power to be unconditionally demanded. The citizen is endowed with the privilege of voting, and thereby of participating in the determination of the policies of government and the selection of the officials who shall transact it, in order that by its exercise the good of the state may be maintained. It is, therefore, for the state itself to determine by its laws, when, and by whom, and under what conditions, this power shall be used. As one writer has forcibly said: The pretension that every man has the necessary qualifications of a citizen simply because he was born twenty-one years ago, is as much as to say that labor, merit, virtue, character, and experience are to count for nothing. As a matter of fact, we do, in this country for the most part, give the suffrage to all adult male citizens, but this is because, upon the whole, they aredeemed qualified to possess it, and because, thereby, all have been given a direct interest in public affairs. But it is believed by many that we have been too precipitate in thus extending the suffrage. Certainly this is true in those states in which aliens who have not yet become citizens have been given the right to vote. As regards the granting of the privilege to the negro population irrespective of capacity, this would seem also to be a mistake. Woman Suffrage. ? In a few states the right to vote has been given to wo...

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citizenship, History and Civics for Americanization This volume was designed to meet the needs of those aliens who have made the United States their permanent home and desire to apply for citizenship. It contains the vital facts of America's making and gives the principles underlying our democratic form of government. In this, the third edition, not much material has been added, and the few changes made were upon the suggestion of teachers who have had experience in using Citizenship in preparing men for the naturalization examination. The author wishes to acknowledge indebtedness to Mr. Oran T. Moore, Chief Examiner of Naturalization, and to Mr. Raymond Crist, Director of Citizenship, Department of Labor, for suggestions as to the treatment of the subject matter; and to Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr., of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Richmond, Va., for a critical perusal of the manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Southern Question Past and Present Mr. President and Grentlemen of the Historical Society, - When our fathers gave slavery recognition in the United States Constitution they provided a curse for our inheritance. It retarded our national growth, it debauched public opinion, it developed prejudice against the negro that turned men into devils. It established and maintained an oligarchy in the South before which Northern statesmen crouched like whipped spaniels. When at last the suppression of abolitionists and the complete overthrow of freedom was presented to us as the only alternative to a disruption of the Union, even such men as Abraham Lincoln hastened to assure the haughty slavemasters of their willingness to bind their wretched victims with heavier manacles. The war for the preservation of the Union began in 1861. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It affords a review of the five prominent elements in the political atmosphere of the present day viz., Americanism, Foreign Influence, Protestantism, Romanism, and State Sovereignty. The discussion of these subjects necessarily involves an analysis of the several phases of Republicanism, and especially of American Republicanism; as, Human Equality, and the innate right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Also, the qualification of citizenship; the philosophy, effects, and abuses of Naturalization; the character and results of immigration under our system; the nature, uses, and abuses of the Right of Suffrage; the influence of Religion on the affairs of State, or Politico-religious Government; the Right and Sovereignty of individual States, including the social, legal, and political aspects of Slavery, etc. etc. As cognate subjects of interest, the volume will present a view of the efforts from time to time made in resisting the encroachments of foreign and papal influences in our national policy, embracing a history of the rise and progress of the great "American Party," and the secret societies from which it sprung into existence.
