Download or read book Elusive State of Jefferson written by Peter Laufer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1941, a nascent statehood movement began to coalesce into an active and explicit secession campaign seeking to carve from Northern California and Southern Oregon a new State of Jefferson. Yreka, California, home of the secession movement, was named the temporary state capital. Local proponents, Members of the State of Jefferson Citizens Committee, began to stop traffic along Highway 99 at armed roadblocks to pass out political broadsides – their Proclamation of Independence. And, in December of that year, Judge John Childs of Crescent City, California, was elected the first Governor of the State of Jefferson. The United States’ entry into World War II just days later interrupted this growing movement. News of the bombing of Pearl Harbor replaced the planned coverage of Child’s election and overshadowed Jeffersonians perceived marginalization with a national sense of unity. But today what often is referred to as the mythical State of Jefferson remains as both an emblem of the north counties’ frustrations and as a cultural signifier that differentiates the region from the rest of California and the nation. Through interviews with residents and travels through the region, Laufer reveals the story of what could have been and the identity of the region that remains even more than sixty years after the apex of the movement.

Download or read book 51 Imperfect Solutions written by Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think of constitutional law, we invariably think of the United States Supreme Court and the federal court system. Yet much of our constitutional law is not made at the federal level. In 51 Imperfect Solutions, U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton argues that American Constitutional Law should account for the role of the state courts and state constitutions, together with the federal courts and the federal constitution, in protecting individual liberties. The book tells four stories that arise in four different areas of constitutional law: equal protection; criminal procedure; privacy; and free speech and free exercise of religion. Traditional accounts of these bedrock debates about the relationship of the individual to the state focus on decisions of the United States Supreme Court. But these explanations tell just part of the story. The book corrects this omission by looking at each issue-and some others as well-through the lens of many constitutions, not one constitution; of many courts, not one court; and of all American judges, not federal or state judges. Taken together, the stories reveal a remarkably complex, nuanced, ever-changing federalist system, one that ought to make lawyers and litigants pause before reflexively assuming that the United States Supreme Court alone has all of the answers to the most vexing constitutional questions. If there is a central conviction of the book, it's that an underappreciation of state constitutional law has hurt state and federal law and has undermined the appropriate balance between state and federal courts in protecting individual liberty. In trying to correct this imbalance, the book also offers several ideas for reform.

Download or read book Israel the 51st State written by Morris Glen Bowers and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One thing that people are slow to learn-a thing that they must learn to correctly understand the Bible-is that the whole Jewish religion ended at the cross of Christ, and a new order became effective. The total misunderstanding of Matthew chapter 24 is at the root of most of this confusion. If the Messiah didn't come during the time of the Roman occupation of the land of promise then HE will never come. It will never happen. What the Palestinians feared would happen has clearly happened. The killing and confusion in the Middle East is to be laid at the feet of the United Nations, England, France and the United States. The false doctrine of premillennialism and those that teach this subject must take full responsibility for adding fuel to the fire of hatred among the State of Israel and Palestinians. The current day denominational preachers that are guilty of teaching this evil doctrine are: Billy Graham, Garner Ted Armstrong, Franklin Graham, Jack Van Impe, Pat Robertson, John Hagee, Jerry Falwell, Benny Hinn, David Cerullo, Pat Robison, Lou Shelton, the Trinity Broadcasting Network and the thousands of less known denominational preachers in your own home towns across America. The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers. Its histories are true, its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy.

Download or read book The Federalist Papers written by Alexander Hamilton and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 420 pages. 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.
Download or read book Why Should Puerto Rico Become the 51St State written by Guillermo González Román M.D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this book, “Why Should Puerto Rico Become the 51st State?”, Dr. González attempts to answer two basic questions. 1. Why has Puerto Rico been a colony for the past 527 years? 2. How could Puerto Rico stop being a colony? Colonialism refers to populations whose government’s sovereignty resides in another country without fair and equal representation in that government. Puerto Rico is a territory that belongs to the USA since 1898 with the signature of the Treaty of Peace between Spain and the USA after the Spanish- American War. The original book published in 2007, “The Governor’s Suits”, was a response to a book written by an ex-president of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico: “The Trials of the Oldest Colony of the World” by José Trías Monje. After years of asserting that Puerto Rico was a self-governing country, he declared that PR is a colony. He did not understand why Puerto Ricans have accepted colonialism. In his book, Dr. González explained that the experiences of colonialism have been endured because the experiences as a colony for all these years have branded the Puerto Ricans and shaped their personalities to accept and endure colonialism with stoicism. With a near future discussion coming to Congress about the status of the relations between Puerto Rico and the USA, Dr. González feels responsibility to create awareness that PR is a colony, and since 2012, in a popular vote, 54% of Puerto Ricans voted to discontinue the mutually consented colonialism up to then.

Download or read book The American State of Canaan written by Alfred De Grazia and published by . This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endless violence, terror and destruction have beset Palestine and Israel for over 60 years and brought instability and war to the Middle East. No formula for peace or welfare has worked. America has deeply compromised its moral and political leadership. The author proposes a stunning solution - the union of the Israeli and Palestinian people, including the Palestinian refugees, in the ancient region of Canaan, the biblical "land of milk and honey," simulatenously with the admission of Canaan to the United States of America as the 51st State. Make of the people of Canaan full citizens of the United States, with the right to settle anywhere in the United States and in Canaan. For every objection to Statehood, there springs forth an answer, and the answers add up to a peaceful and prosperous Union. The endless traumas, terrors and threats visited upon the people of the Middle East would diminish exponentially, and the moral stature of the United States would be restored.

Book excerpt: In Colin Quinn's new book, the popular comedian, social commentator, and star of the shows Red State Blue State and Unconstitutional tackles the condition of our union today. Utah: The Church of States Vermont: The Old Hippie State Florida: The Hot Mess State Arizona: The Instagram Model State Wisconsin: The Diet Starts Tomorrow State The United States is in a fifty-states-wide couples’ counseling session, thinking about filing for divorce. But is that really what we want? Can a nation composed of states that are so different possibly hang together? Colin Quinn, comedian, social commentator, and writer and star of Red State Blue State and Unconstitutional, calls us out state-by-state, from Connecticut to Hawaii. He identifies the hypocrisies inherent in what we claim to believe and what we actually do. Within a framework of big-picture thinking about systems of government—after all, how would you put this country together if you started from scratch today?—to dead-on observations about the quirks and vibes of the citizens in each region, Overstated skewers us all: red, blue, and purple. It’s ultimately infused with the same blend of optimism and practicality that sparked the U.S. into being.
