Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Problem of Government Our purpose has thus been to deal analytically and critically rather than descriptively with governmental structures. Descriptive material, however, has not been excluded. Care has been taken to illustrate concretely the abstract principles which have been discussed, but there is no pretence that the student is given a full description of the governments of any of the States whose constitutions are considered. We do venture to think, however, that the chapters which follow, with the illustrative material in the appendices, furnish an adequate outline for a course in Constitutional Government, and that any descriptive details which are deemed to be lacking can perhaps be better acquired from the constitutions themselves or from other texts, rather than that the student should get his descriptive knowledge without the synthesis and orienta tion which we have sought to provide. So, also, the present volume may be useful in linking up existing political institutions with the subject matter of courses on the elements of Political Science or Political Theory. For, just as it is essential that the student of government see the problems common to all constitutional systems, and temporarily solved in different ways, so it is necessary that the student of political philosophy have his feet on the ground, and appreciate the connection between political thought and governmental adjustments. The authors are fully aware that this book is only an introduction to the problem of government. For this they make no apology. The subject is so intricate and its ramifications are so numerous that phases of it (which may seem to some readers to be important) are given summary treatment, considered only in, the footnotes, or even relegated to the Topics for Further Investigation which are appended to each chapter. From the pedagogical standpoint this is an advantage. The student should not think that the beginning and end of a course or a subject are between two covers; it is better for him to have a syllabus rather than a text book; for him, in many cases, to work out his own salvation on topics that are sufficiently important to warrant independent study, yet sufficiently simple not to impose too great difficulties. It is thought that this purpose may be more easily and more advantageously accomplished, with the aid of the unusually copious references which have been included to current political literature of an interesting and authoritative, but non-technical character. On pedagogical grounds, also, there is no objection to the re petition of certain matters (from different points of view) which the plan of our book makes inevitable. In result, then, it is hoped that the student may be led to a knowl edge of the true meaning of constitutional liberty, and to an adequate understanding of the problems involved in the harmonizing of popular government with an efficient ad ministration oi public affairs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Problem of Government The purpose of this volume is to introduce the reader to the problems of constitutional and popular government. Such a purpose cannot be achieved by simply furnishing an outline of the manner in which modern governments are organized. This knowledge the student must, of course, have; it is the material of political thought and is available in a number of excellent text books. But if the student is to derive any real value from the information which he has, he must have some appreciation of the place of politics in the social sciences; the right of the State to be; the sphere of state control; the practical problems with which all constitutional and popular governments are confronted; the manner in which States of the modern world have attempted to solve these problems; the relation of different political institutions and agencies to each other (for example, the analogy between the Congressional Caucus and the British Cabinet), and the reasons for their apparent success, or failure to achieve the ends for which they were instituted - in a word (although it may be a too ambitious way of stating our task), the principles behind the facts. Such a theoretical insight is, we venture to think, of more value than a meticulous knowledge of one or more governments. It is of greater importance for the student to appreciate the nature of federal government than it is for him to know the intricacies of congressional procedure. Again, the control of foreign policy, a problem common to all modern governments and nowhere satisfactorily settled, is much more vital than the details of administrative reorganization in the United States.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles and Problems of Government Frequently the study of government is approached through a description and an analysis Of the organization and machinery by which public affairs are conducted. The moving forces, principles, and problems are either neglected or scantily considered amid the details Of fact which such descriptive studies entail. It IS on this account that political science appears to be devoted chiefly to the external characteristics Of governing institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in American Government The purpose of this volume is to bring together a number of articles and documents which are not readily available for classroom use but which are of value because they show how the government functions. Each selection has been chosen because of its vigor, its thoroughness, and the freshness of its point of attack. Most of the readings have been put to the test with a group of college sophomores and juniors in the School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University, who have responded to the material with more enthusiasm and interest than to the text-books. As far as possible, selections have been reprinted which show the relationship of economics, sociol ogy, history, and psychology to the problems of government.

This book was released on 2017-01-08 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of Popular Government It is impossible to associate much with politicians without being struck by their extraordinary and, as it seems to me, morbid sensitiveness to what they call public opinion. What they are really afraid of is less public Opinion than public silliness. If the public only knew how little common sense they are credited with by the very men who, on the hustings, load them with every kind of attery, they would feel far from complimented. The common idea among politicians is that the people can be stampeded by a word, a phrase, some unguarded expression or tri ing act which in any way touches, or might be so misinterpreted and twisted as to appear to touch, .a popular prejudice. It is, of course, taken for granted, and rightly as things go, that opponents will do their utmost to make mischief Out of the word, phrase or act; but where is that con fidence in the superior judgment and sterling common sense of the masses of the people of which we hear so much on certain occasions P' Can the voters be at once so wise as we are told, and also so strongly resemble a herd of buffaloes with th snouts in the air ready for a whirl wind dash at the faintest scent of ger?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Machinery of Government The most important constitutional development in the United Kingdom during the last year has been the introduction of the War Cabinet system. This change was the direct outcome of the War itself. As the magnitude of the war increased, it became evident that the Cabinet system of peace days was inadequate to cope with the novel conditions. On which the Committee makes the following comment: But we think that a rearrangement of the supreme direction of the executive organization as it formerly existed has been rendered necessary, not merely by the war itself, but by the prospect after the war. And in answer to the question as to whether it is possible to return to the old order of things (which I take to mean those before the war) the Committee states we feel confident that the latter question must be answered in the negative.

That pleasant land seems to him to bristle with petty officials, who behave as if they were the masters, and not the servants, of the public. He is willing to admit that a certain dreary efficiency may in some fields be produced by bureaucracy; but he believes it to be essentially hostile to the English idea of liberty, and at the sacrifice of that even the highest efficiency would be too dearly purchased.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of American Government IT is somewhat presumptuous to attempt to reduce American Government to its essential principles. The subject is difficult - more or less technical and quite beyond the compass of any one book. Therefore, in writing the present volume, the author cites many books in which the matter under immediate consideration is discussed at length. The rule of rules for the student of American government is M ultum, not Multa. There is peril, if only the principle be considered, that what knowledge is gained will be an acquaintance with abstractions; if the ex ample, or illustration alone is considered, the peril is of a memory of facts more or less tem porary, or isolated. Government is essentially organic in nature and must be studied as an organism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
