Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of American Constitutional Law But principles are not numerous. Possibly in Nature there is but one basic principle and all our so-called natural laws are but aspects of that principle as the human mind conceives or recognizes it. The analogy in government permits the asser tion that the principles of constitutional law are few. Possibly they are severally aspects of one principle: that of sovereignty. To the student of the law, especially to junior students, principles are matters of memory rather than of understanding. It is a vigorous and essentially mature mind that can reduce a complex issue to such simple form as to deduce the principle on which it rests.

Others maintain that the provisions of the Constitution should be strictly construed and their provisions applied in a very literal manner.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of American Constitutional Law The subject of constitutional law is not free from disputed and unsettled questions. In respect to these, the author has invariably stated what he conceives to be the sound rule or the best principle for their interpretation. If his disposition of such topics should at times appear summary, or even dogmatic, it must be ascribed to the necessity for condensation, not to any failure to appreciate the pos sible arguments on both sides of the question.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political and Constitutional Law of the United States of America The principles fundamental to political self-government, should doubtless be clearly understood by every vo'rnn or macros. For his status, in this country, is no less than that of one of a body of absolute sovereigns.l The three fundamentally different and mu tually opposing theories of our political system, - one or another of which every voter must necessarily sanction, and consequently, -one or another of which must furnish the key to every administra tion of government, state and federal, - are therefore severally and distinctly presented, so that every voter may judge for himself, as he ought to do, which of these theories should receive his assent and support. Attention is also directed to the different foundations of govern ment, to the rise and development of the system peculiar to Amer ica, to the sovereign legislation by the People themselves from the dawn of the Revolution to the xvth Amendment, and to the views and doctrines of the original framers of our Constitutions; ever so little reflection upon which will enable any voter to form his own independent opinion, regardless of partisan strifes, and to cast his vote with a clear understanding of what it involves.

Download or read book Leading Cases on American Constitutional Law Classic Reprint written by Lawrence B. Evans and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leading Cases on American Constitutional Law The intended scope of this book would have been indicated more accurately if the title were "Some Leading Cases on Some Leading Topics in American Constitutional Law." Accuracy of description however had to be sacrificed to brevity, which indeed is the dominant note of every part of the book. This makes it necessary to explain that the present collection is an attempt to bring together within the compass of about four hundred pages as many as possible of the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States interpreting the Federal Constitution. Because of limitations of space no attempt has been made to cover the whole subject. Important topics, such as eminent domain, ex post facto legislation, bankruptcy, and the war power, have been omitted altogether in the belief that the fuller treatment of other topics which such omissions made possible would give the collection added value. Sixty-four cases are here included. The basic decisions in which the important doctrines of constitutional law are first elaborated, such as McCulloch v. Maryland, Gibbons v. Ogden, and Cooley v. The Wardens of the Port, are reprinted with considerable fullness, while the later decisions of a less fundamental character are much abbreviated. In every instance however the facts out of which the controversy arose are given, as well as a sufficient portion of the opinion to show why the court decided as it did. The texts of all the decisions made since the beginning of the December Term, 1855 (18 Howard), are taken from the official reports. The texts of decisions made prior to that time are taken from Curtis' Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. Except for omissions or paraphrases which are indicated in the usual way, the texts followed have been reproduced verbatim et literatim. I have tried to meet the needs of two classes of students. First, I have had in mind students in law schools where the amount of time given to the subject does not warrant the use of the larger casebooks. It is for them especially that the numerous references to other cases have been included in the notes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 The Constitutional Law of the United States of America It is not necessary further to enlarge upon these pomts, for what I have said is sufficient to show why the first inquiries with regard to a translation of the treatise were not received by me with a feeling of unmixed satisfac tion. I not only could have dived deeper, and would have done so, if I had intended to write for Americans, but even if I had confined myself to a mere sketch, the perspective would have been somewhat different. Be sides, the treatise had to be written at a time when I could not go either to England or the United States.

Download or read book Essentials Of The American Constitution written by Charles H. Sheldon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constitutional politics is the continuing search for equilibrium between the grants of power and the limits placed on that power. The Essentials of the American Constitution examines the five closely integrated components which make up the fundamental law: the Compact, separation of powers, federalism, representation, and the Bill of Rights. It is the interaction between these components that gives the Constitution its dynamism. Landmark decisions handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court involve two or more of these components. This book’s unique approach shows how the components more often than not work together, one assisting another, one explaining another, or one reinforcing another. It gives a firm foundation for students wishing to take advanced courses in constitutional law or civil liberties and provides an overall view of the fundamental principle of the American Constitution.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Scope of the American Doctrine of Constitutional Law The Revolution came, and what happened then? Simply this we cut the cord that tied us to Great Britain, and there was no longer an external sovereign. Our conception now was that the people took his place that is to say, our own home population in the several States were now their own sovereign. So far as exist ing institutions were left untouched, they were construed by trans lating the name and style of the English sovereign into that of our new ruler, ourselves, the People. After this the charters, and still more obviously the new constitutions, were not so many orders from without, backed by an organized outside government, which simply performed an ordinary function in enforcing them; they were precepts from the people themselves who were to be gov erned, addressed to each of their own number, and especially to those who were charged with the duty of conducting the govern ment. No higher power existed to support these orders by com pulsion of the ordinary sort. The sovereign himself, having written these expressions of his will, had retired into the clouds; in any regular course of events he had no organ to enforce his will, except those to whom his orders were addressed in these documents. How then should his written constitution be enforced if these agencies did not obey him, if they failed, or worked amiss?
