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 2015-07-07 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Citizenship in the United States "The distinction between citizens proper, that is, the constituent members of the political sovereignty, and subjects of that sovereignty who are not, therefore, citizens is recognized in the best authorities of the public law." This distinction is true. The further question of who are and who are not citizens has its difficulties, Accept the definition of citizenship to be the enjoyment of equal rights and privileges at home, and equal protection abroad, and consider the question from this standpoint, from which alone it should be treated, for we have no law in the United States which divides our citizens into classes or makes any difference whatever between them. We then discover the importance that the equal rights of citizens when at home should maintain when abroad, because questions as to citizenship are determined by municipal law in subordination to the law of nations. Therefore, the value of citizenship should not be underestimated. Every individual should have some central point from which he emanates and to which he returns, where he is clothed with citizenship and the consequent enjoyment of all rights and privileges which citizenship confers.

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.

Download or read book American Citizenship Classic Reprint written by Charles A. Beard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Citizenship In view of the large number of textbooks on civics already available, some very decided reasons should be forthcoming from those who venture to add another one to the long list. Our first plea in justification of this volume is our belief that the books on government now offered to the schools have certain fundamental defects. An examination of the extensive collection of texts in the Library of Congress, which embraces all of the most recent books on civics, shows that they fall into two groups: those which are formal and legal, and those which are "sociological," in character. The authors of the first group err, in our opinion, in treating government as a multitude of rules already well settled which, when committed to memory, are calculated to make good and wise citizens. The authors of the second group, it seems to us, in their revolt against the mechanistic theory of government, err just as much in minimizing those concrete political and administrative processes by which social work of a public character is accomplished and in emphasizing in civics private activities which are remote from official operations. For example, the principle of the separation of governmental powers, so scorned by the sociological school, is in fact more important, as we try to show, than half of the beneficent enterprises undertaken in the name of modern collectivism. And both groups of books are equally in error in so far as they seem to regard civic life as static or settled rather than dynamic and progressive.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Citizen of the United States: An Address For many, many years, so the story goes, he passed his life a prisoner on board ship somewhere on the restless waters of the ocean. His country became a memory, its history a blank; no one was permitted to speak to him of his native soil, and in no manner did he learn from human lips the fateful crisis of the Civil War. At the end he dies broken-hearted and repentant, indeed, a man without a country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Become a Citizen of the United States of America Every civilized State has its sovereign power. In the Old World kingdoms the monarch is the sovereign, but in the United States of America the people is the sovereign, and the law for the government of the people is the expressed word and utterance of the people. All sovereign power, that is, the power to govern and to make laws for that purpose, resides in the people, and if a law is not wise and good the people, through elected representatives, may revoke it. Hence, every citizen being in this sense a part of the law-making power in this country, it becomes the earnest duty of every one, as a unit of the whole people, to understand the character of our government and the principles upon which it is based.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An American Citizenship Course in United States History, Vol. 3 In fact, the American Revolution, as fought out in campaigns and battles on American soil, was a civil war, and such a treatment of it, we believe, is in harmony with the facts. The bitter antagonism between the American Patriots and the American Tories is manifested in each of the two great phases of the war, namely (1) the struggle, up to July 4, 1776, for the rights of free-born Englishmen, and (2) after that date for political independence.

Download or read book The Rights and Duties of American Citizenship Classic Reprint written by Westel Woodbury Willoughby and published by . 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.
