Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of Popular Government It is impossible to associate much with politicians without being struck by their extraordinary and, as it seems to me, morbid sensitiveness to what they call public opinion. What they are really afraid of is less public Opinion than public silliness. If the public only knew how little common sense they are credited with by the very men who, on the hustings, load them with every kind of attery, they would feel far from complimented. The common idea among politicians is that the people can be stampeded by a word, a phrase, some unguarded expression or tri ing act which in any way touches, or might be so misinterpreted and twisted as to appear to touch, .a popular prejudice. It is, of course, taken for granted, and rightly as things go, that opponents will do their utmost to make mischief Out of the word, phrase or act; but where is that con fidence in the superior judgment and sterling common sense of the masses of the people of which we hear so much on certain occasions P' Can the voters be at once so wise as we are told, and also so strongly resemble a herd of buffaloes with th snouts in the air ready for a whirl wind dash at the faintest scent of ger? [do not readily reconcile the two conceptions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Government: Its Essence, Its Permanence and Its Perils I came to Yale to assume my duties as Kent Professor of Law near the end of the school year, when it was not practical to add my courses of constitutional law to the then curriculum. It was Suggested, therefore, that during the spring term, I prepare and deliver a course of lectures on some questions of modern government. This I did, making my text the preamble of the Constitution of the United States. In explaining the meaning of We, the people, used to describe the source of political power, I thought it relevant and important to discuss the proposed changes from our republican form of government to a more direct, democratic government, and this led me to consider the initiative, the referendum and the recall, and also the direct primary, which, while not necessarily involved with the other issues, properly suggested itself for consideration with them. Under the clause of the preamble to form a more perfect union, I considered very briefly the historical issue between those who favored the broad construction of the Federal powers under the Constitution, and those who took the States' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book An Introduction to the Problem of Government Classic Reprint written by Westel Woodbury Willoughby and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Problem of Government Our purpose has thus been to deal analytically and critically rather than descriptively with governmental structures. Descriptive material, however, has not been excluded. Care has been taken to illustrate concretely the abstract principles which have been discussed, but there is no pretence that the student is given a full description of the governments of any of the States whose constitutions are considered. We do venture to think, however, that the chapters which follow, with the illustrative material in the appendices, furnish an adequate outline for a course in Constitutional Government, and that any descriptive details which are deemed to be lacking can perhaps be better acquired from the constitutions themselves or from other texts, rather than that the student should get his descriptive knowledge without the synthesis and orienta tion which we have sought to provide. So, also, the present volume may be useful in linking up existing political institutions with the subject matter of courses on the elements of Political Science or Political Theory. For, just as it is essential that the student of government see the problems common to all constitutional systems, and temporarily solved in different ways, so it is necessary that the student of political philosophy have his feet on the ground, and appreciate the connection between political thought and governmental adjustments. The authors are fully aware that this book is only an introduction to the problem of government. For this they make no apology. The subject is so intricate and its ramifications are so numerous that phases of it (which may seem to some readers to be important) are given summary treatment, considered only in, the footnotes, or even relegated to the Topics for Further Investigation which are appended to each chapter. From the pedagogical standpoint this is an advantage. The student should not think that the beginning and end of a course or a subject are between two covers; it is better for him to have a syllabus rather than a text book; for him, in many cases, to work out his own salvation on topics that are sufficiently important to warrant independent study, yet sufficiently simple not to impose too great difficulties. It is thought that this purpose may be more easily and more advantageously accomplished, with the aid of the unusually copious references which have been included to current political literature of an interesting and authoritative, but non-technical character. On pedagogical grounds, also, there is no objection to the re petition of certain matters (from different points of view) which the plan of our book makes inevitable. In result, then, it is hoped that the student may be led to a knowl edge of the true meaning of constitutional liberty, and to an adequate understanding of the problems involved in the harmonizing of popular government with an efficient ad ministration oi public affairs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Government, Vol. 36: October 1969; The Legislative Issues Inciting to riot, covered in the same section, is made a general misdemeanor by this act if, as a result of the inciting or urging, a riot occurs or a clear and present danger of a riot is created. Inciting or urging another to engage in a riot is a felony, punishable by up to ten years' imprisonment, if it is a contributing cause of a riot in which there is property damage in excess of or serious bodily injury. A provision closely related to those of disorderly conduct, riot, and inciting to riot is failure to disperse when commanded. Under the provisions of a new g.s. 14 anyone failing to comply with a lawful order to disperse (authority for which is given to any law enforcement officer when he reasonably believes the riot or disorderly conduct by three or more per sons is occurring) is guilty of a misdemeanor punish able by a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisonment for not more than six months. Also, remaining at the scene of a riot or disorderly conduct following a com mand to disperse after a reasonable time for dis persal has elapsed becomes prima facie evidence that the person remaining is willfully engaging in the riot or disorderly conduct.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Government, Vol. 30: February-March, 1964 Such encomiums, of c0urse, are encouraging. To put the occasion in perspective, however, it is necessary to recognize that it represents only a beginning. It is important that news men and public officials explore together the concepts under lying such mutual concerns as free press and fair trial; access to information; cameras and tape recorders in the courtroom; libel, contempt, and privilege. Yet press-government relations involve all facets of government - executive and legislative as well as judicial. There are problems at state and local as well as national and international levels. And the sources of trouble tend to be similar or related. Research and teaching programs and conferences are logical approaches to these problems. This breaking of new ground, then, is the start of efforts to raise standards to which others may repair and to set directions which may be meaningful and useful to press and government alike. It should be noted that the articles published in this issue are simply representative of some of the matter presented at the Seminar and do not constitute a proceedings. The process of selection was dictated in part by availability of materials. It was not possible to include all of the presentations nor any of the informal question and answer sessions which followed each lecture and panel discussions and were vital and informative parts of the whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Government, Vol. 31: June 1963 An additional problem lies in money, for all counties will be faced with increased demands for services, and these increased demands will mean higher taxes. In large counties, higher taxes will be necessary to meet the costs of. Growth, and these costs will probably continue to out run the growth in the tax base. In small counties, higher taxes will be necessary to provide services comparable to those available in the larger population centers. To many pepple, further increases in property taxes are unthinkable. Yet many thought ten years ago that property taxes then had reached the limit, and still they have doubled in volume since. There is one thing worse than higher taxes, and that is the consequences of failure to meet the demands for increased services. If the demands are not met, people will turn to Raleigh and Washington for help, and past history tells us that there the call will be answered. Generally speaking it has proven true that the demands for services are stronger than the demands for economy in government, and the greatest threat that faces county government in the years ahead lies in failing to provide that which people Want and demand.
