Book excerpt: United States Constitutional History and Law is a text written by Albert Putney, who was an accomplished academic, a lawyer, and a lecturer at the Illinois College of Law. This title presents a detailed overview of the American constitution. United States Constitutional History and Law is a celebration of the creation of the supreme law that is the very foundation of the United States of America. Putney presents the reader with a detailed history of the establishment of the constitution as well as an analysis of the document's most notable principles. After a brief introduction, the author begins the examination in earnest. Putney commences by detailing the political and legal history of the thirteen colonies prior to the first constitutional convention. The book then details the convention and its major outcomes, and includes a lengthy discussion of the division of powers between the states and the country as a whole. The separate departments of the federal government are profiled, and the Bill of Rights is described in depth. The book concludes with a history, up until 1908, of the amendments made to the constitution. United States Constitutional History and Law is an exhaustive and exceptional history book. Putney was a brilliant academic, and his deep knowledge of the subject matter shines through on every page of this work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitutional History and Government of the United States IN this edition some of the chapters have been rewritten and the others have been carefully revised. The conditions and circumstances which favored the institution of self-government in the colonies have received more attention. Care has been taken, however, to limit the narrative portions of the work to the collocation of such facts as serve to show the course of our constitutional system in its beginnings, growth, and development. Many notes have been added, a considerable number of them illustrative of the objections and spirit of opposition which the practical development of the system has encountered. The la bors of the Supreme Court in giving a sensible and practicable construction to the Constitution are constant, and some account of the most important since the earlier edition has been added. Recent important events at home and. Abroad involving or pro mising to involve the scope of constitutional powers have received attention.

This book was released on 2018-08-18 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political and Constitutional Law of the United States of America The principles fundamental to political self-government, should doubtless be clearly understood by every vo'rnn or macros. For his status, in this country, is no less than that of one of a body of absolute sovereigns.l The three fundamentally different and mu tually opposing theories of our political system, - one or another of which every voter must necessarily sanction, and consequently, -one or another of which must furnish the key to every administra tion of government, state and federal, - are therefore severally and distinctly presented, so that every voter may judge for himself, as he ought to do, which of these theories should receive his assent and support. Attention is also directed to the different foundations of govern ment, to the rise and development of the system peculiar to Amer ica, to the sovereign legislation by the People themselves from the dawn of the Revolution to the xvth Amendment, and to the views and doctrines of the original framers of our Constitutions; ever so little reflection upon which will enable any voter to form his own independent opinion, regardless of partisan strifes, and to cast his vote with a clear understanding of what it involves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Framing of the Constitution of the United States For over ten years the writer has been engaged in collecting and editing the material available upon the work of the convention that framed the constitution of the United States. Collating of texts is a wearisome and often merely a mechanical task, but in the process the editor becomes more or less familiar with the content of the documents. In the present instance the form in which the work finally shaped itself required a knowledge of the proceedings of the convention not merely as a whole, but from day to day, and it necessitated a familiarity with the thought and expressions of the individual members. When to this was added an acquaintance with the personalities of the more important delegates, a mental picture of the convention was formed which developed into a conviction as to what the delegates were trying to do and what they actually accomplished. It is with no idea of attempting the final history of the formation of the constitution that the present book is written.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States: With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States, Before the Adoption of the Constitution Imperfect, however, as these Commentaries may seem to those, who are accustomed to demand a perfect finish in all elementary works, they have been attended with a degree of uninviting labour, and dry research, of which it is scarcely possible for the general reader to form any adequate estimate. Many of the materials, lay loose and scattered; and were to be gathered up among pamphlets and discussions of a tempo rary character; among obscure private and public documents and from collections, which required an exhausting diligence to master their contents, or to select from' unimportant masses, a few facts, or a solitary argument. Indeed, it required no small labour, even after these sources were explored, to bring together the irregular fragments, and to form them into groups, in which they might illustrate and support each other.

Download or read book A Brief History of the Constitution and Government of Massachusetts Classic Reprint written by Louis Adams Frothingham and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of the Constitution and Government of Massachusetts This small volume is the outgrowth of a series of lectures given at Harvard University. It is put forth primarily for the use of students there, but it may also prove of assistance to the members of the General Court, to those who are interested in constitutional and historical matters, and at the present time, when a constitutional convention is contemplated, to those who may serve as delegates. A book recently issued by the Commission on Economy and Efficiency entitled Functions, Organization, and Administration of State Government, covers the duties of the State officers and the Boards and Commissions, so I have omitted any detailed description of the powers and functions of those officials and bodies. I wish to express my appreciation of the kindness of Professor Edward Channing who was good enough to read the chapters on the early history. To the efficient Clerk of the House of Representatives, Mr. James W. Kimball, who read the chapter on Legislative Procedure, I owe thanks for valuable suggestions. To Professor W. B. Munro, who advised publication and revised the material, I owe the encouragement to begin as well as to complete the work. The author is conscious of many omissions and shortcomings in this book, but has endeavored to include in it data that seemed of most importance to those interested in study or casual investigation of constitutional and legislative matters. His apology for publication, if any be needed, is that the subject-matter here dealt with has not been heretofore set forth in any one volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constitutional Government in the United States MY object in the following lectures-is to examine the government of the United States as a constitutional system as Simply and directly as possible, with an eye to practice, not to theory. And yet at the very outset it is necessary to pause upon a theory. The government of the United States cannot be intelligently discussed as a constitutional system until we clearly determine what we mean by a constitutional government; and the answer to that question is in effect a theory of politics.
