Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Legislative Methods in the Period: Before 1825 It is the purpose of this work to trace the growth of the committee systems in the lawmaking bodies of the colonies and states from about 1750 to 1790, and in the federal House of Representatives from the beginning to 1825. During these years the committee form of organ ization was so firmly established that it has become the distinguishing feature of the American legislature. In view of this fact it seemed to be worth while to put in accessible form the more important steps in that early development. Matters of procedure are touched upon only in so far as they throw light on the main theme. In the processes of legislation it is difficult to separate completely the operations of the regular committees from the activities of the party caucus, and the following chapters discuss both types of organization, the formal, provided for by the rules, and the informal, supplied by the political party. An attempt is made to Show how the colonial legislatures were directed by party leaders, how the caucus and the executive influenced the work of the federal House, and also how certain arrangements made primarily to facilitate legislation have afiected some of the larger aspects of constitutional history. This study was undertaken 'at the suggestion of Professor Allen Johnson, of Yale University, and the material in Chapters I to VII, inclusive, with the excep tion of a part of Chapter II, was worked out in the form of a doctoral dissertation under his direction in 1913. The writer is very glad to acknowledge his indebtedness to him for helpful advice and criticism at that time. Those chapters have subsequently been largely rewritten.

CHAPTER VII LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURE To become law a measure has to pass through three readings in each branch of the Legislature; it must be engrossed and enacted in each, and then must be signed by the Governor, or left for five days without his signature, or vetoed within the required period and passed over his veto. Filing Petitions And Bills When one looks at the Massachusetts " blue books " which are issued yearly with their mass of laws general and special, one seldom pauses to reflect on the hearings, debates, readings and contests which must have taken place, and upon the general machinery that had to be set in motion before these matters were in shape to be put in the statute book. The fact that the Legislature sits for many months each year and steadily grinds out laws, is of course common knowledge. But if the average citizen wanted to get an idea enacted into law, would he know how to go about it ? He would probably consult a lawyer. This lawyer would undoubtedly know the method of procedure by which to set the ball rolling, but unless he had been at some time in the State government or had special experience with legislation he would scarcely know how to draw a bill and its accompanying petition in scientific form. For instance, very few realize the value of making the petition as broad as possible. Since each petition must, under the rules, be accompanied by a bill, the phrase commonly used in a petition is to ask " for legislation according to the accompanying bill." Generally 90 speaking, nothing could be more unwise than this. Events will undoubtedly occur making it desirable to amend the bill. If it is desired to cut out some of its provisions or to limit its scope well and good; the petition will be broad enough for that. But if, as is more ofte...
