Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our America and Our Constitution Fortunately for the success of the new govern ment, the men who drafted the Declaration and the Constitution that followed were men 'of trained minds. Still more fortunate for its success those that followed them were trained not only in mind, but had vision to see that freedom in the hands of an ignorant people may be a nation's undoing, and set up a sphere of broad education. Thus equipped, the new nation set about developing its people and its resources. While opening its doors practically to all the world it refused to share in the political problemsof the Old World. It is just as impossible for a nation to live unto itself as for a man to do so. Today American youth know that to prove true to their inherited principle of free government, they must be ready to interpret that principle not only at home, but so far as their country's honor is involved, they must be ready to interpret international affairs with the same sympathetic fairness. That readiness depends entirely on the soundness of their prepara tion for citizenship; their willingness to enter into that preparation depends on the soundness of their patriotism. The challenge rings out clearly and strongly. Surely no boy or girl in all of our broad land can fail to answer it.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Constitution of the United States The story of the Constitution is of truth stranger than fie tion. It is natural to attribute to an institution throughout its history that reputation which it bears in our own day. Many men are yet living who remember with startling dis tinctness a time when the Constitution seemed merely a piece of parchment; when the fate of the nation was as uncertain as the course of battle; when stern necessity compelled so liberal an interpretation of the supreme law of the land that states men refrained from forming conclusions on the tendency Of national administration, and, looking hopefully forward, sought new meanings in events where before they had sought interpretation by a construction Of words. Then, and not till then, in our history was the Constitution of the United States understood in its spirit as being the expression of the nation's mind, Whatever that mind might be. But no man now living can remember the angry days when the Constitu tion was yet a hope or a proposition debated between jealous States and still more jealous political leaders. NO one can re member the living opinions which, at the close of the eight eenth century, so nearly triumphed, and whose triumph would have dissolved a feeble union of States and encouraged the horrors of an anarchy only possible in a democracy. When the Opinions on national government in America to-day and opinions Of a century ago are contrasted, it is difficult to be lieve that we are the children of our fathers.

Download or read book The Constitution of the United States written by Thomas James Norton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans of all political points of view often discuss the U.S. Constitution, but how well do they really know the document and its history? The Constitution the United States: Its Sources and Its Application gives the reader a crash course in the text of the Constitution and its sources. Thomas James Norton was a lawyer who argued before several high courts of appeals, and in this book his goal is to provide an annotated copy of the U.S Constitution so that readers could better understand the reason for each section. As Norton's annotations make clear, one cannot understand the Constitution without understanding the basics of the earlier 'Articles of Confederation', its strengths and weaknesses and why it ultimately failed. The Articles created a weak central government, which The Constitution sought to rectify without tipping the balance too strongly in favour of a mighty centralised government. The footnotes reveal the debate and compromise which led to the passage of each individual clause. Key historical moments, such as the reign of King Charles I of England and the Short Parliament, are added to the text to explain how they shaped the attitudes of the men who wrote the Constitution. Norton also discuses the governments of Australia, France, Canada and Brazil for comparative purposes, which really enriches the experience for readers who are not well versed in comparative government. These explanations are brief, which keeps the book moving at a brisk pace. Norton occasionally expresses strong opinions about historical events which may not be in line with how American constitutional history actually unfolded in the future, but his opinions do not interfere with the usefulness of the book. The Constitution the United States: Its Sources and Its Application is not overly technical and does not rely strictly on legal language. This makes the book digestible by everyone, from lawyers to historians to people interested in politics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of the Constitution of the United States The following story is the outcome of a teacher's attempt to present historical lessons of interest to the children, and at the same time be consistent with her all time pleading that in history reading, above all reading, the child should train himself to look for sequence, cause and effect; for initiative acts and results. It ought not to detract from the child's respect for the Constitution to know that it was fought for and fought over; that there was no perfect agreement between parties then any more than now, and that compromises had to be made then as now. This story method has been used with much success in the school-room, and the author feels that it will generally appeal to the average child of our grammar school grade.
