Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Liberty and Authority Liberty consists in being able to obey your own will and conscience rather than the will and conscience of others. The question is how far can that liberty be pressed how far is it right for society to respect and safe guard that liberty in the case of each in dividual, or how far must it be restricted for the common good, for the sake of the liberty of others or for any other sufficient object. Now this question has been considered by many great men, and in particular I would direct your attention to the treatment of the subject by John Stuart Mill. His powers of exposition were certainly equal to any topic however difficult, and the singular lucidity of expression of which he was a master makes it always convenient to treat his writings as a theme - as a peg on which to hang other speculations. Now his solution of the. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Liberty Which the ruler should he suffered to exercise over the community and this limitation was What they meant by liberty. It was attempted in two ways. First, by obtaining a recognition of certain immunities, called political liberties or rights, which it was to be regarded as a breach of duty in the ruler to infringe, and which if he did infringe, specific resistance, or general rebellion, was held to be justifiable. A second, and generally a later ex pedient, was the establishment of constitutional checks, by which the consent of the community, or of a body of some sort, supposed to represent its interests, was made a necessary condition to some of the more important acts of the governing power. To the first of these modes of limitation, the ruling power, in most European countries, was compelled, more or less, to submit. It was not so with the.

Book The Standard of Liberty

Download or read book The Standard of Liberty written by Hugh Henry Brackenridge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Standard of Liberty: An Occasional Paper Executive patronage under our constitution, is thought to put the Governor beyond the reach of the people; that when he has fenced himself with appointments under him, it is difficult, if not impossible to prevent his re-election. So far is this from being the fact, that it is his appointments which give him all his trouble, and lay the foundation of an opposition. We need not recur to a saying of Lewis 14th to prove this; that when he had confered an office or an honour, he made many dissatisfied, and one man ungrateful. He is ungrate ful, either because it is the nature of an obligation to produce ingratitude or because the man thinks himself injured in get ing less than his due. If I am to administer a government, and wish a continuance in office, or to escape enmities, let me have no appointments in my gift. It is invidious to select the qualified or bestow emoluments. What a host does not a Go vernor raise up against himself, in the exercise of such a trust? There can be but one man in many appointed to ohice; and yet all, or most expect offices. So blind is self-love that few men suspect their incapacity, or call in question their deseit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Liberty The necessity of teaching, not only to young Americans but to all prospective Americans, the meaning and mis sion of political liberty has but lately found expression in the movement known as Americanization. What is liberty as exemplified in American institutions? Where and how did it originate? Through what struggles and triumphs has it advanced? What peoples have always been its defenders, and how have its influence and bless ings been finally extended to include all nations of the earth? It is upon a knowledge of the facts implied in such questions as these that young American Citizens, whether native or foreign-born, are to become truly Americanized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton and Liberty Milton's political writing posses more than a biographical value - they have a message for own time. The more democracy spreads the more it is to be desired that the people should be so inspired and guided that they will make a noble use of their freedom. Such inspiration and guidance are found pre-eminently in Milton. The people who follow his doctrine of liberty will make more of duties than of rights, and value rights mainly as the means of performing duties. They will use their power, not to compete with one another for material well-being or any private advantage, but for mutual service and the common good. Without such an ideal, democracy will only, as Mazzini has said, "produce egotists who will carry the old passions and desires into the new order of things."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address to the Friends of Liberty Thanks to an overruling Providence, the. Great body of the people of the free states are beginning to see that their rights and their libertiesare in jeopardy, and bands of pat riotic and, resolute men are standing aloof from their po litical parties, vowing eternal hostility to the extension of slavery. -we see in these auspicious events, that the A1.mighty has been pleased to bless the instrumentality of those Whoearly' sounded the-alarm, who have steadfastly advo cated the Cause of the Oppressed, who have'warned their countrymen of the encroachinents of the slaveocracy, who have expended then prope1ty and hazarded thorr lives in defence of the rights of man, and the freedom inherited fr om their fathers. Had they falter ed, had they prayed less, had they used less moral suasion, had they acted inconsis tently at the ballot-box, the nation and sympathizing Europe might not have witnessed the revolution now in progress for the deliverance of our country from galling servitude to the slave aristocrats who have so long trampled upon their countrymen in chains, and been permitted for so many years to administer the affairs of this government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freedom, Civil and Religious: The American Conception of Liberty for Press, Pulpit, and Public, as Guaranteed in the Federal Constitution The publishers of this book believe in civil government and in the importance of religion. The Christian church and organized civil government are both of divine origin. We believe that the Christian church was established by God for man's spiritual welfare, and that civil government was ordained by divine authority to protect all men in the exercise of their natural rights. But while we believe that both the church and the state are ordained of God for man's highest good, we also hold that each is ordained for an entirely different and separate line of work, that they should operate in distinct spheres, and that the realm of the one is in no sense the sphere of the other.
