Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Democracy: A Political Study Before following the outline suggested in the pre ceding paragraphs, the indulgent reader will excuse a statement which is ventured in a spirit of apology rather than of reminder. The chief obstacle to the solu tion of political problems consists, not so much in the abstruseness of the arguments which may be involved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of Democracy Any inquiry into the course of democratic progress in England would be confessedly imsy and superficial which did not endeavour, however brie y, to indicate the nature of the movement in its earlier stages. Is English democracy of home growth, or does it owe its chief impulse to the cognate movement in France? Was it propelled onwards by a conscious striving after new ideals, or was it merely the result of discontent aroused by material discomforts and unjust laws? Did our Radical reformers claim that they were initiating a new era for humanity at large, or were they content with redressing the ills of the time? To these and similar questions it is hoped that this little work will furnish some reply, not, as a rule, explicitly and in set terms, but rather by means of an unbiassed narrative which will leave the reader free to draw his own conclusions as to the drift of events, the full significance of which cannot as yet be fully realized.

Download or read book New Democracy written by William J. Novak and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The activist state of the New Deal started forming decades before the FDR administration, demonstrating the deep roots of energetic government in America. In the period between the Civil War and the New Deal, American governance was transformed, with momentous implications for social and economic life. A series of legal reforms gradually brought an end to nineteenth-century traditions of local self-government and associative citizenship, replacing them with positive statecraft: governmental activism intended to change how Americans lived and worked through legislation, regulation, and public administration. The last time American public life had been so thoroughly altered was in the late eighteenth century, at the founding and in the years immediately following. William J. Novak shows how Americans translated new conceptions of citizenship, social welfare, and economic democracy into demands for law and policy that delivered public services and vindicated peopleÕs rights. Over the course of decades, Americans progressively discarded earlier understandings of the reach and responsibilities of government and embraced the idea that legislators and administrators in Washington could tackle economic regulation and social-welfare problems. As citizens witnessed the successes of an energetic, interventionist state, they demanded more of the same, calling on politicians and civil servants to address unfair competition and labor exploitation, form public utilities, and reform police power. Arguing against the myth that America was a weak state until the New Deal, New Democracy traces a steadily aggrandizing authority well before the Roosevelt years. The United States was flexing power domestically and intervening on behalf of redistributive goals for far longer than is commonly recognized, putting the lie to libertarian claims that the New Deal was an aberration in American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Democracy A scientific age will relate its problems to natu ral law. We claim to be living in a scientific age. Among the problems of the hour we find one which compasses the world. Reforms which today have no defined scientific basis upon which to rest their appeal to the people must naturally die a natural death. The problem, Votes for Women, faces all na tions. Today each nation is evolving out of its own intelligence the battle ground upon which this appeal of life, through womanhood, is to be met. The fundamental principle of Democracy found its first great victory upon these shores. Here a prin ciple became a Republic. Here life clothed the Law of Revolution with flesh and gave the divine body bone and structure, with the blood of a mighty race for its blood. The Republic was born, under the law, a child, to be born again as a man child, recognizing a first and a second birth in its mortal construction, - a birth which ordains fol lowed by a birth which establishes in immortality that which was ordained in the original conception. All of the quotations in this work are. Unless otherwise indicated, from the Bible and Walt Whitman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Democracy: An Essay on Certain Political and Economic Tendencies in the United States Our visitors from Europe in the early days of independence were obsessed by the unique significance of our-democracy. To liberty or to its excesses they ascribed all American quali ties, customs, and accidents. Our native apologists laid equal emphasis upon democracy. In half -ludicrous, half-tragic orations, they acclaimed the rule of the people as the essence and import of the new Republic. America was to be the eternal land of liberty, the refuge of the world's oppressed, the mentor of Europe. The chosen people of the West were to teach the true creed of democracy, in obedience to a divine command, as explicit as that laid upon the ancient folk of Israel. Four generations have passed since Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown. We have survived the early days of poverty and interstate bickering. We have grown in wealth, power, and prestige. We have issued triumphantly from a great civil war, which put an end forever to chattel slavery. Our institutions have not become less popular; our patriotism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of a New Democracy A Near neighbor of mine whom I had observed with respect, but sought no intimacy with, surprised me one day with this bit of confidence: "This fall all will turn on an If." I observed with a smile that I saw nothing startling in the statement, the little word so often plays the leading part. "True" he replied; "else had this been a different world; not better, perhaps; but different. In an ancient garden it revolutionized human destiny; saved civilization at Marathon; changed the face of Europe at Waterloo, and sent the great Emperor to the rocks of St. Helena. At Griffin's where it made America Independent, and George Washington President. "So much for the past. I speak now of the present. I am gazing into the future." "What do you see?" I asked.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of Democracy I have already called attention to the formation of trade-unions in England in the early part of the nine teenth century. After they had won legal recognition and were no longer persecuted they gave their chief at tention to effecting wage-agreements with their employers and to putting through legislation reducing the hours of labor, protecting the women and children, introduc ing safety devices and SO forth - a mass of Often in finitesimal, but in their bulk, very appreciable, ameliora tions in the lot of the wage - earner, servant and slave of the machine. In England the course of labor has con tinued down to our own day to travel this slow upward path characterized by concessions and compromise, though of late years the continued fair-weather prospect has been troubled by the more radical agitation imported from the continent. To this I shall now invite the reader's atten tion. I have already spoken of St. Simon and Louis Blanc and the rise of a socialist doctrine in France. Its gist was the abolition of private property and the nation alization of the means of production and although it did not call itself socialism at first, the name of socialism he came attached to it and has remained attached to all simi lar philosophies to the present day.

Download or read book The Decline and Rise of Democracy written by David Stasavage and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Historical accounts of democracy's rise tend to focus on ancient Greece and pre-Renaissance Europe. The Decline and Rise of Democracy draws from global evidence to show that the story is much richer--democratic practices were present in many places, at many other times, from the Americas before European conquest, to ancient Mesopotamia, to precolonial Africa. Delving into the prevalence of early democracy throughout the world, David Stasavage makes the case that understanding how and where these democracies flourished--and when and why they declined--can provide crucial information not just about the history of governance, but also about the ways modern democracies work and where they could manifest in the future."--

People have studied the outside of the body of democracy; they have hardly begun to know what makes its life, or upon what its good health depends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy in America, Vol. 2 Men will not accept truth at the hands of their enemies, and truth is seldom offered to them by their friends: for this reason I have spoken it. I was persuaded that many would take upon themselves to announce the new blessings which the principle of equality promises to mankind, but that few would dare to point out from afar the dangers with which it threatens them. To those perils therefore I have turned my chief attention, and believing that I had discovered them clearly, I have not had the cowardice to leave them untold. I trust that my readers will find in this Second Part that impartiality which seems to have been remarked in the former work. Placed as I am in the midst of the conflicting opinions between which we are divided, I have endeavored to suppress within me for a time the favorable sympathies or the adverse emotions with which each of them inspires me. If those who read this book can find a single sentence intended to flatter any of the great parties which have agitated my country, or any of those petty factions which now harass and weaken it, let such readers raise their voices to accuse me.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irresistible Movement of Democracy The object of this book is to tell the story of democracy from its first beginnings in the modern world until its culmination in our time. The idea was first suggested to me by trying to under stand what was meant by the famous phrase used during the world war, - to make the world safe for democracy. It sug gested the questions, What was democracy? What were the advantages of a form of government for which the world was striving? If democracy was attained, would it be a gain for humanity? Democracy has always been difficult of definition and much misunderstanding of its true nature has arisen because men have used the term in different senses. Democracy may mean either a spirit of society, a state of society, or a form of government. I have taken democracy in the usual meaning as accepted by Bryce, Lecky and Maine, as a form of popular government. In this general sense it has been used by modern writers, and its modern advent dates from the time when nations and men began to seek a form of government based upon the popular will as expressed in universal suffrage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy and the Party System in the United States: A Study in Extra-Constitutional Government The American Constitution has been for long a subject of admiration. Indeed, seldom has a people found amid the tempest which usually aecom panies the establishment of liberty and independence leaders as sagacious and acute as were the founders of the Constitution of the United States. They knew history, they understood man, they fathomed the great political thinkers of the age, they gauged the noble as well as the petty passions which gave themselves free play during the period of the pain ful beginnings of the new nation. But they could not foresee the destiny of their country, they had no idea of the course along which it was to be carried by its economic evolution. Their work, there fore, has not altogether stood the test of time. The political and social evolution of the United States has rendered some parts of it obsolete. The Fathers did not anticipate the flood of Democracy rising above the gates erected, nor the all-pervading development of Party, nor the coming of conquering Plutocracy. I.
