This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constitutional Conventions in Illinois The Fiftieth General Assembly adopted a resolution favoring the assembling of a Constitutional Convention in this State. The question of assembling a Constitutional Convention to revise, alter or amend the Constitution of Illinois will be submitted to the voters at the general election to be held on the fifth day of November, 1918. This bulletin is prepared in the hope that it Will be of assistance to the people, Who, on November fifth of this year, must decide Whether or not a convention shall be assembled. A detailed treatment of all questions relating to a convention is, of course, impossible. But, for the purpose of assisting the voter in determining Whether he shall vote for or against the resolution adopted by the General Assembly in 1917, an attempt is here made to present, as briefly and concisely as possible, a discussion of the more important of such questions. This paper, however, is not intended as an argument for or against the assembling of a convention. Its only purpose is to discuss fairly and impartially the main issues raised by the adoption of the resolution for a Constitutional Convention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Levinson here argues that too many of our Constitution's provisions promote either unjust or ineffective government. Under the existing blueprint, we can neither rid ourselves of incompetent presidents nor assure continuity of government following catastrophic attacks. Worse, our Constitution is the most difficult to amend or update in the world. Levinson boldly challenges the Americans to undertake a long overdue public discussion on how they might best reform this most hallowed document and construct a constitution adequate to our democratic values.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice An innovative account of Abraham Lincoln, constitutional thinker and doer Abraham Lincoln is justly revered for his brilliance, compassion, humor, and rededication of the United States to achieving liberty and justice for all. He led the nation into a bloody civil war to uphold the system of government established by the US Constitution—a system he regarded as the “last best hope of mankind.” But how did Lincoln understand the Constitution? In this groundbreaking study, Noah Feldman argues that Lincoln deliberately and recurrently violated the United States’ founding arrangements. When he came to power, it was widely believed that the federal government could not use armed force to prevent a state from seceding. It was also assumed that basic civil liberties could be suspended in a rebellion by Congress but not by the president, and that the federal government had no authority over slavery in states where it existed. As president, Lincoln broke decisively with all these precedents, and effectively rewrote the Constitution’s place in the American system. Before the Civil War, the Constitution was best understood as a compromise pact—a rough and ready deal between states that allowed the Union to form and function. After Lincoln, the Constitution came to be seen as a sacred text—a transcendent statement of the nation’s highest ideals. The Broken Constitution is the first book to tell the story of how Lincoln broke the Constitution in order to remake it. To do so, it offers a riveting narrative of his constitutional choices and how he made them—and places Lincoln in the rich context of thinking of the time, from African American abolitionists to Lincoln’s Republican rivals and Secessionist ideologues.
