This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented here for the first time in one volume are the three founding documents of the United States and another that altered and divided the Union for a brief moment in history. Declaration of Independence: Adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, this may be the most famous angry letter in history. Written by Thomas Jefferson and addressed to King George III of England, it lays out the grievances of the king's 13 colonies in North America, and announces that those colonies were now free of English rule. By 1783, after a long, bloody, and expensive war, that freedom became a reality. Articles of Confederation: Soon after independence from England was declared, the Second Continental Congress instituted this first organizing document of the new United States, which was ratified in March 1781. A compromise between those delegates who wanted a strong central government and those who demanded that the states be sovereign, its shortcomings became obvious during the war--such as the fact that the central government had no power to collect taxes or even to enforce requests for funds from the states, which led to a perpetually underfunded revolution against England. United States Constitution: This document replaced the Articles of Confederation on June 21, 1788. One of the most influential works of political philosophy and practicality ever written, it is the oldest national constitution still in use today, and continues to inspire freedom-loving peoples around the world. Its three-pronged system of government--balancing power among legislative, judicial, and executive branches--was groundbreaking. But it failed to address one issue, slavery, that would come to a head a century later. Constitution of the Confederate States: This 1861 document organized the new nation created by the seceding slave states. While quite similar in many ways to the U.S. Constitution, it includes more references to God and religion and more emphasis on state sovereignty, offers specific clauses that seek to limit the influence of big business on politics, and codifies the right to own "negro slaves." Together, these four documents offer a firsthand perspective on the political history of the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documents of the Constitution of England and America: From Magna Charta to the Federal Constitution of 1789 While teaching the elements of Constitutional History and Law to successive classes in college, I have felt the want of a little manual, which should present in a form convenient for reference, the text, not only of our own national Constitution, but of those state documents, whether pertaining directly to the history of England or of America, upon which some of the most important features of our Constitution are based, and from which, both in the spirit and the letter, it may be said to derive its parentage. The word Constitution, in its largest sense, properly signifies the aggregate of those fundamental laws, institutions, and usages, which make up the whole polity of a state. It is too extensive, therefore, to be accurately described and defined in a single written instrument; a great portion of it is unwritten, forming a body of consuetudinary law, which is equally valid with those other portions that have been specially recognized and enacted, or re-enacted rather, by the supreme legislature. What is usually termed the Constitution in this country, whether it be the Federal Constitution of the whole Union, or the separate Constitution of each State, is but a part, and a small part, of the fundamental law under which we live. Still more; these two specific constitutions are not, to any great extent, original and fresh enactments, first devised and first made binding when these were put together and formally accepted by the people about three quarters of a century ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period leading up to the foundation of the United States of America was a period in which a contentious debate permeated the colonies. A growing call for independence from England began to become discussed in whispers amongst the colonists. This contention was arguably only rivaled at one other time in American history, the period leading up to the America Civil War and the emancipation of the slaves. A wealth of historical documents chronicles these important periods of American history. Some of the most consequential of those documents are collected together here in this volume. "The Declaration of Independence," "The Constitution of the United States," and twenty-nine other important documents are combined together in this collection which provides an incredible context to the more than a century of American history. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
