Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Sense Versus Common Law If Lycurgus could be summoned from the shades to give evidence before a new Common Law Commission, it is not improbable that the illustrious legislator would give a decided opinion against a rash and short-sighted reform of a system, which operates to banish litigation from the courts. "Infatuated men," lie might be supposed to say, "would you destroy a system which has just now reached maturity - a system devised by the wisdom and forecast of your ancestors to counteract the evil tendencies of a corrupt and complicated state of society? Are civil dissension and litigation things to be fostered? If so, simplify your law ; make it intelligible, accessible to the people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common-Sense in Law In view of these obvious considerations, I should like to explain as briefly and simply as possible the main principles which underlie legal arrangements. Although the details of legal rules are complicated and technical, the Operations of the mind in the domain of law are based on common sense, and may be followed without difficulty by persons of ordinary intelligence and education. Juris prudence may be likened in this respect to political economy, which also is developed from simple general principles and yet re quires a great deal of special knowledge when it comes to particulars.

Download or read book Common Sense on the Color Problem Classic Reprint written by J. Benson Hamilton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Sense on the Color Problem No law, whether human or divine, may compel me to yield my prefer ence where I possess a right. Either may suggest, neither may con strain. Society is based upon individual preference. I prefer company to solitude. Others are in sympathy with that feeling, and a commun ity is established. I have a choice as to the kind of company which I deem preferable to solitude. Who shall say Nay, if I infringe upon no one's rights? No one may demand the privilege of my companion ship against my will. In society, as I find it, I select my associates as an individual right. Restraint is tyranny. In the public relations of citizenship in a community I find myself restricted by necessity. I waive temporarily my right in exchange for what I deem satisfactory compensation. In my business relations I am compelled to meet with those who are distasteful to me. I reserve the right to say to those with whom or for whom I labor or trade, Thus far and no farther. In public convey ances, schools, and all institutions established for the community at large, I waive individual preference. I do it voluntarily. I may not be compelled to do so. Law only says: If you will not ride with those who are distasteful to you, furnish your own conveyance. If you will not go to school with those who are distasteful to you, obtain your education some other way. To enact a statute to compel associa tion, even in public relations, would be regarded as atrocious tyranny.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Genius of the Common Law The purpose of the Carpentier Lectures is not to furnish text-books for ordinary professional use, and I have there fore not thought it proper to cite authorities except for a few historical illustrations too lately published to be familiar, or otherwise off the usual lines. Once or twice I have named a leading case for the convenience of learned readers. I do not think I have positively stated anything as law which will not be well known to any such reader, and easily verified if desired; and the same remark applies to the historical data.

This utterance of Tennyson's-sixty years ago, a glorious prophecy then falling into desuetude through over-quotation and the seeming impossibility of uniting Christians against Moslems, Moslems and Christians against heathenry, scientific seekers after truth against the reactionaries in religion, politics, and political economy - is now once more permissible as a forecast for once again, from the crest of the wave we sight the Promised Land, once more the mists rise, the clouds part, and we behold against the blue of heaven the peaks of Beulah to which we shall some day ascend.

Download or read book The Death of Common Sense written by Philip K. Howard and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “We need a new idea of how to govern. The current system is broken. Law is supposed to be a framework for humans to make choices, not the replacement for free choice.” So notes Philip K. Howard in the new Afterword to his explosive manifesto The Death of Common Sense. Here Howard offers nothing less than a fresh, lucid, practical operating system for modern democracy. America is drowning—in law, lawsuits, and nearly endless red tape. Before acting or making a decision, we often abandon our best instincts. We pause, we worry, we equivocate, and then we divert our energy into trying to protect ourselves. Filled with one too many examples of bureaucratic overreach, The Death of Common Sense demonstrates how we—and our country—can at last get back on track.

Download or read book Common Sense written by Sophia Rosenfeld and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-02 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common sense has always been a cornerstone of American politics. In 1776, Tom Paine’s vital pamphlet with that title sparked the American Revolution. And today, common sense—the wisdom of ordinary people, knowledge so self-evident that it is beyond debate—remains a powerful political ideal, utilized alike by George W. Bush’s aw-shucks articulations and Barack Obama’s down-to-earth reasonableness. But far from self-evident is where our faith in common sense comes from and how its populist logic has shaped modern democracy. Common Sense: A Political History is the first book to explore this essential political phenomenon. The story begins in the aftermath of England’s Glorious Revolution, when common sense first became a political ideal worth struggling over. Sophia Rosenfeld’s accessible and insightful account then wends its way across two continents and multiple centuries, revealing the remarkable individuals who appropriated the old, seemingly universal idea of common sense and the new strategic uses they made of it. Paine may have boasted that common sense is always on the side of the people and opposed to the rule of kings, but Rosenfeld demonstrates that common sense has been used to foster demagoguery and exclusivity as well as popular sovereignty. She provides a new account of the transatlantic Enlightenment and the Age of Revolutions, and offers a fresh reading on what the eighteenth century bequeathed to the political ferment of our own time. Far from commonsensical, the history of common sense turns out to be rife with paradox and surprise.
