Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from True Republicanism: Or the Real and Ideal in Politics There is a common misconception that re publicanism and democracy are convertible terms. The difference can best be explained, perhaps, by examples. A late writer on poli tics spoke of Venice and Rome as democracies; but Venice was never a democracy, at least within historical times; and Rome only became a democracy during the ten years while Caesar was in Gaul. Likewise, Holland was a repub lic in the time of Cromwell, but it did not be come a democracy until it was revolutionized by Pichegru. Great Britain is now more dem ocratic in some respects than the United States of America; that is, public opinion acts upon the government there more quickly and f orci bly than it does here. Republicanism is a form, and democracy would seem to be more like a political condition. All that one can say of a government is that it is more or less democratic. Even in Germany there is universal sufi' rage, and the people control the financial budget. Republicanism means that the chief magistrate of a nation is an elective and not a hereditary.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... RATIONAL REPUBLICANISM In the preamble to the Constitution of the United States it says: "We, The People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." This is the grandest sentence ever yet inscribed in America, and perhaps the grandest of the past hundred years. It was the first full and explicit statement of the true object of government by the freely chosen delegates of a whole people; and it is as much in advance of the English "Magna Charta" as the nineteenth century is in advance of the thirteenth. Who was the author of it remains in doubt, but it is likely that a number of great minds were concerned in its composition. It was a general consensus of the best political opinion of the time, and marks an epoch in history like Abelard's teaching of reason and Luther's translation of the Bible. What might have been added to it, but which would not have been suited to the occasion, was, that without governmental oversight progress in civilization would not be possible. So much having been conceded, I think it will be admitted that the true course by which to attain this end, --that is, the best possible government, --should not be an a priori, dogmatic, or empirical method, but by inductive reasoning and the practical adaptation of means to ends. This is the strong point made by Macaulay in his controversy with John Stuart Mill, who has the credit of introducing the inductive principle in logic, but who did not make use of it sufficiently in practice. Macaulay says: "How, ...

Download or read book The Myth of American Individualism written by Barry Alan Shain and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharpening the debate over the values that formed America's founding political philosophy, Barry Alan Shain challenges us to reconsider what early Americans meant when they used such basic political concepts as the public good, liberty, and slavery. We have too readily assumed, he argues, that eighteenth-century Americans understood these and other terms in an individualistic manner. However, by exploring how these core elements of their political thought were employed in Revolutionary-era sermons, public documents, newspaper editorials, and political pamphlets, Shain reveals a very different understanding--one based on a reformed Protestant communalism. In this context, individual liberty was the freedom to order one's life in accord with the demanding ethical standards found in Scripture and confirmed by reason. This was in keeping with Americans' widespread acceptance of original sin and the related assumption that a well-lived life was only possible in a tightly knit, intrusive community made up of families, congregations, and local government bodies. Shain concludes that Revolutionary-era Americans defended a Protestant communal vision of human flourishing that stands in stark opposition to contemporary liberal individualism. This overlooked component of the American political inheritance, he further suggests, demands examination because it alters the historical ground upon which contemporary political alternatives often seek legitimation, and it facilitates our understanding of much of American history and of the foundational language still used in authoritative political documents.

Download or read book A True Republican written by Jayne E. Triber and published by Univ of Massachusetts Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portraying the man behind the myth, A True Republican goes beyond the famous "ride" to explore Paul Revere's larger role in the American Revolution, the evolution of his political thought, and his transformation from Revolutionary artisan to entrepreneur in the early republic. Jayne E. Triber's insightful reading of both primary and secondary sources -- including government documents, Masonic records, and Revere's personal and business papers -- illuminates the social, cultural, and economic factors that shaped Revere's Revolutionary activities as well as his ardent interpretation of republicanism. Through the lens of one man's life, Triber explores the meaning and attraction of republicanism for artisans, the social structure of Revolutionary and post-Revolutionary America, the importance of Free-masonry, and the development of political parties in the newly formed republic.

Download or read book The Transformation of American Abolitionism written by Richard S. Newman and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-04-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most accounts date the birth of American abolitionism to 1831, when William Lloyd Garrison began publishing his radical antislavery newspaper, The Liberator. In fact, however, the abolition movement had been born with the American Republic. In the decades following the Revolution, abolitionists worked steadily to eliminate slavery and racial injustice, and their tactics and strategies constantly evolved. Tracing the development of the abolitionist movement from the 1770s to the 1830s, Richard Newman focuses particularly on its transformation from a conservative lobbying effort into a fiery grassroots reform cause. What began in late-eighteenth-century Pennsylvania as an elite movement espousing gradual legal reform began to change in the 1820s as black activists, female reformers, and nonelite whites pushed their way into the antislavery movement. Located primarily in Massachusetts, these new reformers demanded immediate emancipation, and they revolutionized abolitionist strategies and tactics--lecturing extensively, publishing gripping accounts of life in bondage, and organizing on a grassroots level. Their attitudes and actions made the abolition movement the radical cause we view it as today.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of New England written by Peter C. Holloran and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New England, the most clearly defined region in the United States, includes the six states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. First colonized by the French in 1604 and the British in 1607, the New England colonies were the first to secede from the British Empire and were among the first states admitted to the union. No region has claimed more presidents as native sons (seven) or produced more men and women of exceptional accomplishment and fame. Many Americans see New England as a touchstone for the founding ideas of the nation, and the region served as a source of inspiration for many artists and writers. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of New England contains a chronology, an introduction, appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, places, institutions, and events. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about New England.
