Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jubilee of the Constitution When in the epic fable of the first of Roman Poets, the Goddess mother of AEneas delivers to him the celestial armour, with which he is to triumph over his enemy, and to lay the foundations of Imperial Rome, he is represented as gazing with intense but confused delight on the crested helm that vomits golden fires - "His hands the fatal sword and corslet hold, One keen with temper'd steel - one stiff with gold He shakes the pointed spear, and longs to try The plated cuishes on his manly thigh; But most admires the shield's mysterious mould, And Roman triumphs rising on the gold" - For on that shield the heavenly smith had wrought the anticipated history of Roman glory, from the days of AEneas down to the reign of Augustus Caesar, cotemporaneous with the Poet himself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Letter to the People of the United States, Upon the Propriety of Establishing an Annual National Jubilee, to Commemorate the Adoption of the Constitution of the United States No Constitution, however wisely framed, can produce any practical benefits, until the people for whose welfare it is ordained, learn the first lesson in Constitutional Govern ment, and that is that the majority must govern, or all free Constitutions must perish. F'or upwards of sixty years our Constitution has stood the test of peace and war, and has afforded more security for life, liberty and My; than any other Government which human foresight ever devised, or human wisdom ever enacted. Notwithstanding all these benefits, and all these blessings; we are told that there are men amongst us who would scatter to the winds this fair fabric of freedom, and trample in the dust that glorious star Spangled banner, which has so often waved victorious upon the land and floated triumphant upon the deep. When we look back, at the deplorable condition of the country, pre viously to the adoption of the Constitution, we are at a loss to comprehend, how it can have an enemy in the land. Let us calmly, but briefly review the state of public affairs, at that time. The Old Confederation had proved utterly unfit to carry on the government of the country. It was, in fact, but little more than a Treaty of Alliance, between Indepen dent States. It gave no power to Congress to levy or collect duties, or to impose taxes; but only the power to fix the proportion, which each State should contribute, for fence of the Country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Constitution In times prosperous at home and peaceful abroad, the people of England have not desired of their rulers any change in the system of their representation. In domestic distress, or with foreign revolution, on the contrary, the clamour for such an experiment has been usually raised, but has hitherto been silenced by patient firmness on the part of the government. During last November, these two stimulants combined to produce in the country an unusual agitation: but the accession of the Whigs to office soothed the excitement, the gentry with the middle classes quieted the disorders of the southern counties, and the Belgic revolution threw fresh employment into the manufacturing towns.

Download or read book The Story of the Constitution of the United States Classic Reprint written by Francis Newton Thorpe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Constitution of the United States The story of the Constitution is of truth stranger than fie tion. It is natural to attribute to an institution throughout its history that reputation which it bears in our own day. Many men are yet living who remember with startling dis tinctness a time when the Constitution seemed merely a piece of parchment; when the fate of the nation was as uncertain as the course of battle; when stern necessity compelled so liberal an interpretation of the supreme law of the land that states men refrained from forming conclusions on the tendency Of national administration, and, looking hopefully forward, sought new meanings in events where before they had sought interpretation by a construction Of words. Then, and not till then, in our history was the Constitution of the United States understood in its spirit as being the expression of the nation's mind, Whatever that mind might be. But no man now living can remember the angry days when the Constitu tion was yet a hope or a proposition debated between jealous States and still more jealous political leaders. NO one can re member the living opinions which, at the close of the eight eenth century, so nearly triumphed, and whose triumph would have dissolved a feeble union of States and encouraged the horrors of an anarchy only possible in a democracy. When the Opinions on national government in America to-day and opinions Of a century ago are contrasted, it is difficult to be lieve that we are the children of our fathers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Constitution The general question, then, doubtless requires full discussion - the apology for a government which applies royal authority to such a measure as this must shew far deeper grounds of neces sity. Yet what urgency has been alleged by its movers for this headlong proposal? The more moderate - it must be added, the least firm of mind - have been swayed probably by the rooted mistake of the party which they have joined, that by granting all that is asked.
