But delegates from vulnerable states resisted this plan, seeking instead to maintain state control over most of American life while adding a few more specific powers to the existing government.

Download or read book The American Republic written by Orestes Brownson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orestes Brownson's thought-provoking thesis on the US government, the Constitution of the United States, and the ultimate destiny of the USA, remains as incisive and intellectually rich today as when it was first published. Combining history with political philosophy, Brownson casts his analytical gaze to the inception of the American nation. Using a wide variety of documents, including those authored by the Founding Fathers prior to and following the creation of the United States, the author attempts to demonstrate how religion and politics are interrelated - in the case of America's founding, both played their roles. In a nutshell: if man is indeed a creation of God, then the governments man creates must also originate from the Creator. Writing in the mid-19th century, Orestes Brownson attempts to clarify what the very nature of the U.S. government is, and how the Constitution reflects it. Various natural laws, such as those pertaining to the family and human development of civilization, are rigorously examined. Part of Brownson's conclusion is the idea that religion must continue to play a role in the USA, just as it has since the colonial, pre-Independence era. The author spent a lifetime writing texts on political, social and religious matters. Fascinated with the development of the United States, it was for his eloquence and ability to speak poignantly on topics relevant to the nation that Brownson was known. As he had affiliated with both Catholic and Protestant faiths, and had a reputation as a philosophically intense intellectual, he was commonly sought as a speaker by a wide range of venues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to a combination of heightened frustration, moves to skirt the constitutional process, and a widespread disconnect between the people and their constitutional "conscience," Lane and Oreskes warn us our longstanding Democracy is at risk. Together, they examine the Constitution's history relative to this current crisis, from its framing to its centuries-long success, including during some of the country's most turbulent and contentious times, and challenge us to let this great document work as it was designed-valuing political process over product.

In the final assessment, The Genius of America asks us to lean on the framers and their experience to secure our country's wellbeing.

Download or read book The American Republic written by O. A. Brownson and published by . This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orestes Augustus Brownson (1803-1876) was a New England intellectual and activist, preacher, labor organizer, and finally a prolific Catholic writer. He is best remembered as a publicist, a career which spanned his affiliation with the New England Transcendentalists, through his subsequent conversion to Catholicism. In 1822 he became a Presbyterian and in 1824 he became a Universalist, becoming ordained in 1826 and preaching in New York and New England. Later, rejecting Universalism, he became associated with Robert Dale Owen and Fanny Wright in New York City and supported the New York Workingmen's Party. Then he became a Unitarian, preaching in Walpole, New Hampshire from 1832 and in Canton, Massachusetts from 1834. Brownson's writing contributions were political, intellectual, and religious essays. Among these was a review of Thomas Carlyle's Chartism, separately published as The Laboring Classes (1840), which caused considerable controversy. Also in 1840, he published his semi-autobiographical work Charles Elwood; or, The Infidel Converted. In 1842, Brownson ceased separate publication of the Boston Quarterly Review, and it was merged into The United States Magazine and Democratic Review.

Download or read book The Lives of the Constitution written by Joseph Tartakovsky and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a fascinating blend of biography and history, Joseph Tartakovsky tells the epic and unexpected story of our Constitution through the eyes of ten extraordinary individuals—some renowned, like Alexander Hamilton and Woodrow Wilson, and some forgotten, like James Wilson and Ida B. Wells-Barnett. Tartakovsky brings to life their struggles over our supreme law from its origins in revolutionary America to the era of Obama and Trump. Sweeping from settings as diverse as Gold Rush California to the halls of Congress, and crowded with a vivid Dickensian cast, Tartakovsky shows how America’s unique constitutional culture grapples with questions like democracy, racial and sexual equality, free speech, economic liberty, and the role of government. Joining the ranks of other great American storytellers, Tartakovsky chronicles how Daniel Webster sought to avert the Civil War; how Alexis de Tocqueville misunderstood America; how Robert Jackson balanced liberty and order in the battle against Nazism and Communism; and how Antonin Scalia died warning Americans about the ever-growing reach of the Supreme Court. From the 1787 Philadelphia Convention to the clash over gay marriage, this is a grand tour through two centuries of constitutional history as never told before, and an education in the principles that sustain America in the most astonishing experiment in government ever undertaken.
