Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government Class Book: A Manual of Instruction in the Principles of Constitutional Government and Law The study of the principles of political science is a necessary part of a liberal education. In a country where the people govern themselves the science of government is a necessary part of a common-school education. In the United. States the people elect their own law-makers and rulers, establish their own constitutions, and determine, even the fundamental principles upon which men shall be governed. The danger of entrusting such power to the ignorant has not failed of illustration in our States and cities. Having universal suffrage, the people must learn to govern themselves for the sake of their own preservation and welfare. Nor is a knowledge of the principles of legal science less necessary to every citizen. The laws of man know as little of mercy as the laws of nature, in that law never admits ignorance as an excuse for wrong. It is a proof of the essential justice of our system of jurisprudence, that so many citizens pass safely through life, totally ignorant of the law, and relying merely upon their own sense of what should be. And yet every day gives proof that ignorance is always dangerous. The study of such a work as this will not make a youth a lawyer, but it will fix in his mind a system of broad principles, which cannot fail to be useful practically.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government Class Book: A Youth's Manual of Instruction in the Principles of Constitutional Government and Law There is probably none to deny that the study of the principles of political science is a necessary part of a liberal education. But in a country where the people govern themselves we believe it is more than this: it is a necessary part of a common-school education. In the United States there is the strongest reason for this, for here not only do high and low alike elect their own lawmakers and rulers, but they also establish their own constitutions and determine even the fundamental principles upon which they shall be governed. The danger of entrusting such power to the ignorant has not failed of illustration here, and lately. But having universal suffrage - for good or evil - there is but one resource, to teach the people how to govern themselves. Nor is a knowledge of the principles of legal science less necessary to every person. The laws of man know as little of mercy as the laws of nature, in that they never admit ignorance as an excuse for wrong. It is a proof of the essential justice of our system of jurisprudence, that so many pass safely through life, totally ignorant of the law, and relying merely upon their own sense of what should be. And yet every day gives proof that ignorance is always dangerous.

Excerpt from book: 28. What, then, is the relation between liberty and law? The perfection of law would secure the perfection of liberty. CHAPTER III. DESPOTISM. ? FREE GOVERNMENT. ? EIGHT AND DUTY OP SELF-GOVERNMENT. 1. What is a despotic government f A government in which the rulers exercise irresponsible power. 2. May a republican government be despotic f Those intrusted with power by the people may, for a time, use that power in a despotic manner. 3. What is the remedy in such a case f The remedy is found in the ballot-box. Other men must be elected to wield the powers of government. 4. What is a military despotism ? Government by a military despot whose will is the sole law. 5. What is a free government ? A government of laws securing liberty. 6. May not an absolute despot make wise and just laws f He may. 7. Would not such laws secure liberty? They would for the time being; but there would be no security for their continuance. 8. Why would there be no security ? Because they would depend upon the will of one man, whose will might change at any moment. 9. Is government by the people necessarily a free government ? Not necessarily; for the people, or a majority of them, may construct a government which will not secure liberty. 10. Save the people a right to govern themselves? It is both their right and duty to govern themselves wisely and righteously. 11. How have governments often originated? In fraud and force, and not in the consent of the people governed. 12. May such governments become legitimate f They may. 13. How may they become legitimate ? Only by becoming good governments, and receiving either the express or the tacit consent of the people. 14. What do you mean by a legitimate government ? A lawful gov...

Download or read book America the Owner s Manual written by Bob Graham and published by CQ Press. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2016, Americans fed up with the political process vented that frustration with their votes. Republicans nominated for president a wealthy businessman and former reality show host best known on the campaign trail for his sharp rhetoric against immigration and foreign trade. Democrats nearly selected a self-described socialist who ran on a populist platform against the influence of big money in politics. While it is not surprising that Americans would channel their frustrations into votes for contenders who pledge to end business as usual, the truth is that we don’t have to pin our hopes for greater participation on any one candidate. All of us have a say—if we learn, master and practice the skills of effective citizenship. One of the biggest roadblocks to participation in democracy is the perception that privileged citizens and special interests command the levers of power and that everyday Americans can’t fight City Hall. That perception is undoubtedly why a 2015 Pew Charitable Trusts survey found that 74 percent of those Americans surveyed believed that most elected officials didn't care what people like them thought. Graham and Hand intend to change that conventional wisdom by showing citizens how to flex their citizenship muscles. They describe effective citizenship skills and provide tips from civic experts. Even more importantly, they offer numerous examples of everyday Americans who have used their skills to make democracy respond. The reader will see themselves in these examples of citizens who chose to be victorious participants rather than tranquil spectators in the arena of democracy. By the end of the book, you will have new confidence that citizen participation is the lifeblood of America -- and will be ready to make governments work for you, not the other way around.

Download or read book Transforming the Global Biosphere written by Elliott Maynard and published by Watchmaker Publishing. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transforming the Global Biosphere is based on the author's presentations to the World Future Society, and was written at the suggestion of Nobel Peace Prize Nominee and former UN Assistant Secretary General, Dr. Robert Muller. The author feels strongly that, in order to reverse the presently destructive impacts of Human Technology on the Global Biosphere, a Transformative Revolution in Human Consciousness must first take place. Such a "Magnificent Revolution" would take the form of Twelve Futuristic MetaStrategies...each of which would represent a Key SocioEcological Paradigm in itself. Each chapter of the book is developed around a MetaStrategy, providing examples of the Major Problems, as well as Innovative Solutions for reversing these Destructive Trends...through selected applications of Unique Alternative Technologies and Strategies. Dr. Maynard's Twelve MetaStrategies for Planetary Management are essentially a set of enlightened, yet effective, tools for Creative Thinking and Action. They are designed to promote environmentally sustainable future scenarios for the maximum benefit for Humans, their Planetary Homeworld, and for the Generations Yet to Come. In spite of the mounting evidence of environmental damage and disturbance to our Natural Planetary Systems, Dr. Maynard contends that solutions to these problems are available through insightful applications of Alternative Technologies, which can provide Clean Renewable Energy, Efficient Non-Polluting Transportation, Hi-Energy Nutrition, and Ecologically Appropriate Lifestyles for everyone on Earth. To achieve such a meaningful and lasting transformation, the author feels we must move rapidly and efficiently beyond the entanglements of 20th Century Thinking, and blaze adventurous new pathways into the Future. Together we must find the courage to explore the promising applications of alternative leading-edge Technologies, which often exist outside the boundaries of the Mainstream Scientific Thought. -- Elliott Maynard Blog.
