Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Citizen's Manual of Reference When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect of the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; and that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundations on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience has shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of the colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having, in direct object, the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world: He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Citizenship IN view of the large number of textbooks on civics already available, some very decided reasons should be forthcoming from those who venture to add another one to the long list.

Download or read book Questions National and of National Importance to Every American Citizen written by Osborne A. Myers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Questions National and of National Importance to Every American Citizen: With Reference to Questions Municipal HE object of publishing this little volume is to illustrate to the people, from the stand point of a true American citizen, and not from that of a partisan only, that if true benefits are derived from properly enacted tariff laws, they must be fully supported by properly enacted im migration laws; that, if we have tariff laws, which are a known necessity, we must have, also, just as stringent and just as equally forcible immigra tion laws for true protection. Also, that the money question in connection with those of tariff and immigration, although each performs its part, is not the only great question that so disastrously harms the welfare of our people. But, that in connection with the great principles, as taught by the representatives of the great political parties, there are other questions of equal importance to us as American citizens; and, which will need our attention in turn fully as much as either of the questions named. They are such questions as anarchy and unscrupulously invested capital; not legiti mate capital, but that, which with its most um merciful and unprincipled methods of transacting business, crushes the very life out of the great mass of American people for its own Special ben efit; the one, anarchy, as a result, is the product of the other; and, each is an extreme and setapart from true humanity, performing the Oppo site criminal functions, which have been and will be, until true legislation sets aright such wrongs, the means of perpetrating the greatest criminal acts relating to business and financial matters; and, as well as being a detriment, and a most decided drawback to the advancement and gen eral welfare of a civilized and enlightened Ameri can people. If we establish true laws for the interests of humanity, generally, then we will have founded a true system of government, which is the same as we now have, when we have had enacted such additional laws that will restrict, fully, all im proper acts and abuses, bearing particularly upon the welfare of our people.

Download or read book Handbook of Citizenship Studies written by Engin F Isin and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2002 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The contributions of Woodiwiss, Lister and Sassen are outstanding but not unrepresentative of the many merits of this excellent collection'- The British Journal of Sociology From women's rights, civil rights, and sexual rights for gays and lesbians to disability rights and language rights, we have experienced in the past few decades a major trend in Western nation-states towards new claims for inclusion. This trend has echoed around the world: from the Zapatistas to Chechen and Kurdish nationalists, social and political movements are framing their struggles in the languages of rights and recognition, and hence, of citizenship. Citizenship has thus become an increasingly important axis in the social sciences. Social scientists have been rethinking the role of political agent or subject. Not only are the rights and obligations of citizens being redefined, but also what it means to be a citizen has become an issue of central concern. As the process of globalization produces multiple diasporas, we can expect increasingly complex relationships between homeland and host societies that will make the traditional idea of national citizenship problematic. As societies are forced to manage cultural difference and associated tensions and conflict, there will be changes in the processes by which states allocate citizenship and a differentiation of the category of citizen. This book constitutes the most authoritative and comprehensive guide to the terrain. Drawing on a wealth of interdisciplinary knowledge, and including some of the leading commentators of the day, it is an essential guide to understanding modern citizenship. About the editors: Engin F Isin is Associate Professor of Social Science at York University. His recent works include Being Political: Genealogies of Citizenship (Minnesota, 2002) and, with P K Wood, Citizenship and Identity (Sage, 1999). He is the Managing Editor of Citizenship Studies. Bryan S Turner is Professor of Sociology at the University of Cambridge. He has written widely on the sociology of citizenship in Citizenship and Capitalism (Unwin Hyman, 1986) and Citizenship and Social Theory (Sage, 1993). He is also the author of The Body and Society (Sage, 1996) and Classical Sociology (Sage, 1999), and has been editor of Citizenship Studies since 1997.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School Manual of Government in the United States, With Kansas Addendum The design of the present undertaking is to awaken in the minds of the rising generation, the future rulers of our country, an interest in its government. This, we believe, can be best accomplished by giv ing them a thorough knowledge of what that gov ernment is.' We have not written a book; we have merely collected from Bancroft, Blackstone, Kent, Bishop, Story, Bouvier, and others, that information most necessary to acquaint the youth of our country with the advantages which, as American citizens, they derive from the constitution and laws of the United States. We have'endeavored to adapt the work to the capacity of pupils in the grammar schools, and have confined ourselves entirely to the American government. We do not burden their minds or tax their memories with what was, but confine ourselves strictly to what is, and deal with American institutions only.
