Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy Today and Tomorrow My plan of lectures at the University of Chicago was, therefore, rather narrowly defined. I desired in the first place, to explain briefly the nature of the whole spiritual and political crisis of present-day Europe, as it strikes us in all the current events of internal and external life in the main European nations: I wanted to show how Europe, from the times of the American and French revo lutions, fought relentlessly for democracy, and how the whole of the nineteenth century is filled by a hard strug gle with all the political and moral problems with which democracy is today confronted. In this connection I had to undertake further to discuss that great milestone which the World War of 1914 - 18 represented for democracy and its development and growth in Europe and the world: in it culminates - in a certain sense Victoriously - the gigantic century-old struggle for European democracy.

Download or read book Democracy Today written by Christian Frederick Gauss and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy Today: An American Interpretation Under our form of government, the President occupies a place that has no exact parallel in the government of any other important country. In the last analysis we are gov erned by public Opinion, of which the President is chief exponent. He is the country's spokesman, not merely by' custom but by express Constitutional provision and man date. He is directed to inform Congress from time to time concerning the vital interests of the United States. He is also made the spokesman of the country in its dealings with foreign governments. The President's Messages to Congress are not merely a form of communication between the executive and the law making authority, but they are intended to give information and guidance to the citizenship. Thus we have a surprising quantity of important historical and governmental material of an authoritative kind in the unbroken series of Presiden tial messages and addresses, beginning with the first in augural of George Washington and coming down to the latest official utterance of Woodrow Wilson.

Download or read book Progressive Democracy Classic Reprint written by Herbert Croly and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progressive Democracy The best evidence of the power of progressivism is the effect which its advent has had upon the prestige and the fortunes of political leaders of both parties. For the first time attractions and repulsions born of the progressive idea, are determining lines of political association. Until recently a man who wished actively and effectively to par ticipate in political life had to be either a Democrat or a Republican; but now, although Republicanism and De mocracy are still powerful political forces, the standing of a politician is determined quite as much by his relation to the progressive movement. The line of cleavage between progressives and non-progressives is fully as important as that between Democrats and Republicans. Political leaders, who have deserved well of their own party but who have offended the progressives, are retiring or are being retired from public life. Precisely what the outcome will be, no one can predict with any confidence; but one result seems tolerably certain. If the classification of the great majority of American voters into Democrats and Repub licans is to endure, the significance of both Democracy and Republicanism is bound to be profoundly modified by the new loyalties and the new enmities created by the aggres sive progressive intruder.

Download or read book Democracy and Peace Classic Reprint written by James Bissett Pratt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy and Peace This is not a war book. It is a book about democracy and peace, about America's ideals, her duties and her dangers. Incidentally it discusses some of the problems raised by the present con fliet. And its position on these questions is not one that is likely to please every reader. For the writer of this book is a pacificist who believes in war. His conclusions, therefore, will probably gain the approval of neither the militarists nor the peace-at-any-price men. Nor will they suit that large class of out - and-outers who have no patience with any statement that has qualifications. The situation which we are facing today is, in the au thor's opinion, too complex to be expressed in a simple formula. A statement of our national duty which would be at all complete must contain more than one qualifying phrase. The truth about America cannot be compressed into a slogan.

Download or read book The Democratic Party written by Walter W. Spooner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Democratic Party: A History HE Democratic party has had an uninterrupted exist ence of nearly one hundred and thirty years. Founded in 1791 with Thomas Jefferson as its chief spon sor, it attracted immediately the enthusiastic and affection ate support of the masses of the people, who were determined that the institutions and government of the United States should have the character of a democracy and not an aristocratic system based upon the superior presump tions and pretensions of a few. Its development was so rapid that at the national elections of 1792 it secured control of the popular branch of Congress and cast 55 of the total 132 Electoral votes for President and vice-president. In 1796 it lacked but two votesxof the number required to decide the result in the 'electoral College; and in 1800 it won a triumphant victory, electing the President and Vice President and also a marked majority of the members of each house of Congress. Thus established as the ruling power of the nation, it was so maintained by the people, nearly always by overwhelming majorities, for an unbroken period of forty years, when it experienced a temporary reverse without, however, any abatement of its vitality or deviation from its original principles or character. Those principles and that character, distinguishing it as the party of the masses of the people in composition, instincts, action, and general acceptation, it has since preserved through all the vicissitudes of its fortunes.

Download or read book The Rise of Democracy Classic Reprint written by J. Holland Rose and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of Democracy Any inquiry into the course of democratic progress in England would be confessedly imsy and superficial which did not endeavour, however brie y, to indicate the nature of the movement in its earlier stages. Is English democracy of home growth, or does it owe its chief impulse to the cognate movement in France? Was it propelled onwards by a conscious striving after new ideals, or was it merely the result of discontent aroused by material discomforts and unjust laws? Did our Radical reformers claim that they were initiating a new era for humanity at large, or were they content with redressing the ills of the time? To these and similar questions it is hoped that this little work will furnish some reply, not, as a rule, explicitly and in set terms, but rather by means of an unbiassed narrative which will leave the reader free to draw his own conclusions as to the drift of events, the full significance of which cannot as yet be fully realized.
