Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leading Cases on American Constitutional Law The intended scope of this book would have been indicated more accurately if the title were "Some Leading Cases on Some Leading Topics in American Constitutional Law." Accuracy of description however had to be sacrificed to brevity, which indeed is the dominant note of every part of the book. This makes it necessary to explain that the present collection is an attempt to bring together within the compass of about four hundred pages as many as possible of the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States interpreting the Federal Constitution. Because of limitations of space no attempt has been made to cover the whole subject. Important topics, such as eminent domain, ex post facto legislation, bankruptcy, and the war power, have been omitted altogether in the belief that the fuller treatment of other topics which such omissions made possible would give the collection added value. Sixty-four cases are here included. The basic decisions in which the important doctrines of constitutional law are first elaborated, such as McCulloch v. Maryland, Gibbons v. Ogden, and Cooley v. The Wardens of the Port, are reprinted with considerable fullness, while the later decisions of a less fundamental character are much abbreviated. In every instance however the facts out of which the controversy arose are given, as well as a sufficient portion of the opinion to show why the court decided as it did. The texts of all the decisions made since the beginning of the December Term, 1855 (18 Howard), are taken from the official reports. The texts of decisions made prior to that time are taken from Curtis' Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. Except for omissions or paraphrases which are indicated in the usual way, the texts followed have been reproduced verbatim et literatim. I have tried to meet the needs of two classes of students. First, I have had in mind students in law schools where the amount of time given to the subject does not warrant the use of the larger casebooks. It is for them especially that the numerous references to other cases have been included in the notes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cases on Constitutional Law The difficulty experienced by a large body of law students in oh taining access to the United States Supreme Court Reports has led to the preparation of this volume. The cases have been selected by the author to be studied in connection with his lectures, at the Uni versity of Minnesota, on American constitutional law. With one exception they have been taken from the United States Supreme Court Reports. For the convenience of students, the Constitution of the lnited States has been inserted. It is not claimed that the whole field of American constitutional law has been covered in this compilation. The design has been to present these cases only which best illustrate'the more important principles, leaving to the in structor to add to the list such cases as he may think best.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of American Constitutional Law But principles are not numerous. Possibly in Nature there is but one basic principle and all our so-called natural laws are but aspects of that principle as the human mind conceives or recognizes it. The analogy in government permits the asser tion that the principles of constitutional law are few. Possibly they are severally aspects of one principle: that of sovereignty. To the student of the law, especially to junior students, principles are matters of memory rather than of understanding. It is a vigorous and essentially mature mind that can reduce a complex issue to such simple form as to deduce the principle on which it rests.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of American Constitutional Law The subject of constitutional law is not free from disputed and unsettled questions. In respect to these, the author has invariably stated what he conceives to be the sound rule or the best principle for their interpretation. If his disposition of such topics should at times appear summary, or even dogmatic, it must be ascribed to the necessity for condensation, not to any failure to appreciate the pos sible arguments on both sides of the question.

Download or read book Cases on American Constitutional Law written by Lawrence B. Evans and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cases on American Constitutional Law In making this collection of cases, it was not my purpose to attempt to rival the notable collection of Professor Thayer. I have had the more modest design of bringing together within the compass of a single volume a sufficient number of the leading decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States on constitutional law to form the basis of a course in that subject. The so-called "case system" of study is applied to almost all branches of the law, but its application to constitutional law has been retarded by the obvious impracticability of referring a class to. the original reports and by the want of a suitable case book of moderate size. It is to meet such requirements that this collection has been formed. A work of this kind is.necessarily a compromise between the desirable and the attainable. The exigencies of space have compelled me to exclude numerous instructive decisions which many persons may expect to find and which I would have been glad to print. Tor the further economy of space, arguments have been omitted and the notes arc few. It seemed that the pages required for these features could be more profitably devoted to decisions which must otherwise be excluded. As to the text of the cases, all the decisions from December Term, 1855, (18 Howard), have been taken from the official reports. Cases decided before 18 Howard arc taken from Curtis' Decisions of tho Supreme Court of the United States.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political and Constitutional Law of the United States of America The principles fundamental to political self-government, should doubtless be clearly understood by every vo'rnn or macros. For his status, in this country, is no less than that of one of a body of absolute sovereigns.l The three fundamentally different and mu tually opposing theories of our political system, - one or another of which every voter must necessarily sanction, and consequently, -one or another of which must furnish the key to every administra tion of government, state and federal, - are therefore severally and distinctly presented, so that every voter may judge for himself, as he ought to do, which of these theories should receive his assent and support. Attention is also directed to the different foundations of govern ment, to the rise and development of the system peculiar to Amer ica, to the sovereign legislation by the People themselves from the dawn of the Revolution to the xvth Amendment, and to the views and doctrines of the original framers of our Constitutions; ever so little reflection upon which will enable any voter to form his own independent opinion, regardless of partisan strifes, and to cast his vote with a clear understanding of what it involves.

Download or read book United States Constitutional History and Law Classic Reprint written by Albert H. Putney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States Constitutional History and Law is a text written by Albert Putney, who was an accomplished academic, a lawyer, and a lecturer at the Illinois College of Law. This title presents a detailed overview of the American constitution. United States Constitutional History and Law is a celebration of the creation of the supreme law that is the very foundation of the United States of America. Putney presents the reader with a detailed history of the establishment of the constitution as well as an analysis of the document's most notable principles. After a brief introduction, the author begins the examination in earnest. Putney commences by detailing the political and legal history of the thirteen colonies prior to the first constitutional convention. The book then details the convention and its major outcomes, and includes a lengthy discussion of the division of powers between the states and the country as a whole. The separate departments of the federal government are profiled, and the Bill of Rights is described in depth. The book concludes with a history, up until 1908, of the amendments made to the constitution. United States Constitutional History and Law is an exhaustive and exceptional history book. Putney was a brilliant academic, and his deep knowledge of the subject matter shines through on every page of this work. If you are seeking a book about the United States Constitution, this text is unmissable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitutional Law of the United States of America It is not necessary further to enlarge upon these pomts, for what I have said is sufficient to show why the first inquiries with regard to a translation of the treatise were not received by me with a feeling of unmixed satisfac tion. I not only could have dived deeper, and would have done so, if I had intended to write for Americans, but even if I had confined myself to a mere sketch, the perspective would have been somewhat different. Be sides, the treatise had to be written at a time when I could not go either to England or the United States.

Download or read book The Origin and Scope of the American Doctrine of Constitutional Law Classic Reprint written by James Bradley Thayer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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?
