Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the American Constitution A long time has elapsed since the author undertook to draw out The Origin and Growth of the English Constitution, within the limits of two octavo volumes, the first of which is in the eighth edition, the second in the fourth. The very cordial reception given to that work throughout the Eng lish-speaking world and beyond it naturally suggested a sequel to be entitled The Origin and Growth of the American Constitution, which has been completed on the same plan. After thirty years of ehort to unfold the histories of the two closely related constitutions as one progressive development, the author was blessed with a piece of good fortune which has more than requited all the labor bestowed. That good fortune consisted of the unearthing of a priceless document, very near the surface, which has cast a bright light into what was heretofore a very dark place. It explains for the first time the real history of the invention of that marvelous system of government, partly federal and partly national, given to the world by the Federal Con vention at the close of its labors at Philadelphia on September I7, 1787. Beyond that point the influence of the document in question does not extend, - except in one important particular it sheds no new light on the after history. So far as this book is concerned, it is a mere episode, simply one link in a long chain of causation presented herein as a connected whole. It is, however, a great thing to know for certain that the most notable of all political inventions had a personal inventor; that the entirely unique and path-breaking creation embodied in the American Constitution came into being in a perfectly normal way; that its birth was neither mythical nor miraculous. Beginning upon that sane basis an effort has been made to unfold the growth of that Constitution according to the Historical Method, which regards all law, public and private, as a living and growing organism that changes as the relations of society change. When that method is applied to such data as are contained in printed documents, the growth of constitutions may be worked out by processes almost as exact as those employed in physical science. As Bishop Stubbs has happily ex pressed it: I confess that to me, as an old investigator, a good deal of the accepted theory of continuous history, in this region, at least, of history, seems to rest on arguments as sound, within its own material and area, as those on which Copernicus and Kepler worked out their astronomical con elusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A work of extraordinary range and striking originality, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen traces the global history of written constitutions from the 1750s to the twentieth century, modifying accepted narratives and uncovering the close connections between the making of constitutions and the making of war. In the process, Linda Colley both reappraises famous constitutions and recovers those that have been marginalized but were central to the rise of a modern world. She brings to the fore neglected sites, such as Corsica, with its pioneering constitution of 1755, and tiny Pitcairn Island in the Pacific, the first place on the globe permanently to enfranchise women. She highlights the role of unexpected players, such as Catherine the Great of Russia, who was experimenting with constitutional techniques with her enlightened Nakaz decades before the Founding Fathers framed the American constitution. Written constitutions are usually examined in relation to individual states, but Colley focuses on how they crossed boundaries, spreading into six continents by 1918 and aiding the rise of empires as well as nations. She also illumines their place not simply in law and politics but also in wider cultural histories, and their intimate connections with print, literary creativity, and the rise of the novel. Colley shows how—while advancing epic revolutions and enfranchising white males—constitutions frequently served over the long nineteenth century to marginalize indigenous people, exclude women and people of color, and expropriate land. Simultaneously, though, she investigates how these devices were adapted by peoples and activists outside the West seeking to resist European and American power. She describes how Tunisia generated the first modern Islamic constitution in 1861, quickly suppressed, but an influence still on the Arab Spring; how Africanus Horton of Sierra Leone—inspired by the American Civil War—devised plans for self-governing nations in West Africa; and how Japan’s Meiji constitution of 1889 came to compete with Western constitutionalism as a model for Indian, Chinese, and Ottoman nationalists and reformers. Vividly written and handsomely illustrated, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen is an absorbing work that—with its pageant of formative wars, powerful leaders, visionary lawmakers and committed rebels—retells the story of constitutional government and the evolution of ideas of what it means to be modern.
