Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plan of Reform in the Constitution and Governemnt of the United States and the State of New York The winter of 1839 - 40, finds us in a situation differ mg in but avery slight degree from the period alluded to above, but worse, perhaps, in some measure, from the mournful certainty. Which time has given us, of the delusiveness of that hope which we all so fondly che rished, that our embarrassments were but mere tempo rary ones, which the resources of the country and the industry of its people would not be long in overcoming. Now then is the season for reflection. Let us examine into the causes which have made our pecuniary embar rassments so frequent. Let us coolly and dispassion ately trace the stream which has so nearly overwhelmed us to its sources, and apply those remedies which common sense may suggest to prevent the overflows which occur with almost periodical regularity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Plan of Government: The Constitution of the United States as Interpreted by Accepted Authorities The meaning of the Constitution as a document rests on judicial interpretation and construction of law. Acts of executive officers. Laws passed by Congress, and many of those passed by State legislatures are likely, sooner or later, to be challenged as to their constitu tionality. When such a case arises, the justices of the Supreme Court are given an opportunity to interpret some part of the Constitution. Many phrases in the Constitution have not yet been thus interpreted because no cases have arisen involving their meaning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Plan of Government: The Constitution of the United States as Interpreted by Accepted Authorities There come crises to all nations - times when actions taken or policies adopted will vitally affect the lives of future generations. At such times men are forced to think - to go back to fundamentals - to reexamine the foundations of their institutions. For the United States this second decade of the twentieth century is a period of crisis. The United States Constitution of 1916 is not the Constitution of 1789. Outwardly, indeed, save for seventeen chronologically appended amendments, it is identical. But in its meaning, in its breadth of application, its power of adaptability to the ever increasing complexity of our national life, it is very different. A set of rules gains in meaning and in usefulness by being put into practice. A statute gains its fullest legal value only when the history of its enactment is known and there has grown up around it a body of precedent arising out of cases involving its use and out of decisions rendered under its provisions and reflecting somewhat of the personality of the men rendering those decisions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ratification of the Federal Constitution by the State of New York The author of the following study is keenly aware of its many shortcomings, and it has seemed wise to make some explanation of what would appear to be two very obvious lapses. In the first place, it must be evident to even the most casual reader that a great discrepancy exists between the title as indicated, and the amount of space allotted to the actual ratification. It has been the thought, however, that the action of the Poughkeepsie Convention of 1788 was but the culmination of a long series of events, and that the title, in its truest interpretation, included a discussion of the preliminary stages as Well as of the final event itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitution of the United States Its Friends and Foes: Address Statesmen not in sympathy with this revolutionary program are retired to private life, while political adventurers, prating of reform, strut across the political stage, deriding the clauses of the Constitution, framed with so much care and prayer, and promising to modernize it to suit the clamor of the hour. The voice of history has sunk into a whisper, and hysteria rules in its stead. The situation presented is unprecedented. That it is big with bane to the Republic unless checked or circumvented is obvious. Its grav ity can hardly be exaggerated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Constitution of the United States: Showing That It Is a Development of Progressive History and Not an Isolated Document Struck Off at a Given Time or an Imitation of English or Dutch Forms of Government Histories of the Constitution usually describe the labors of its framers in the Convention of 1787 and the contests of political parties over the adoption of the instrument by the requisite number of States in the following year, together with such changes or developments as have taken place since that time. The works which have touched on its sources or origin have treated it as invented by the convention which framed it, or have sought in England or other European countries for forms of government which were like it or might have suggested its various provisions. Having for a long time been convinced that the Constitution is neither an invention nor an imitation, but almost exclusively a native product of slow and gradual growth, I have in this book undertaken to trace back, through previous American documents in colonial times, every material clause of it. These documents are very numerous, and consist of twenty-nine colonial charters and constitutions, seventeen Revolutionary constitutions, and twenty-three plans of union, - in all, sixty-nine different forms of government which were either in actual or in attempted operation in America during a period of about two hundred years, from 1584 to 1787.

This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reflections on the Changes Which May Seem Necessary in the Present Constitution of the State of New York The formation or revision of a constitution is as noble a task as the erection of those great cathedrals, toward the rearing of which it was the habit of calling on every one to contribute his share of work or means, however humble it might be and in obedience to your call I shall cheerfully offer my contribution to the building up of our constitution or at least I shall write my views as to the principal points to be looked to in the formation of a new constitution, to use the words of the resolution which you have communicated to me, distinctly understanding that the Club, in publishing my views, makes itself in no way answerable for them, but gives them as the Opinions of a fellow-citizen on subjects of great public interest. Demosthenes, in one of his great speeches, mentions the daily and hourly repeated Athenian question, And what's the news? Let me consider the call of our Club like the frequent American question, What do you think about this matter - put more solemnly, more singling out, indeed, but still addressed by friends to a friend. I beg you, dear sir, to convey my sincere thanks to the Club, and to assure our fellow-members that, however unsuccessful I may be, or however my convictions may occasionally differ from the views of some of them, I shall write down what they have asked for, conscious of the weighty importance attached to the topic, and that not a line will be written either from the love of some theory, or in the temper of a partisan, or in the pliable Spirit of a courtier to his sovereign, although the sovereign with us be called the people. Accept for yourself the assurance of my highest esteem, and believe me, Dear sir, Very truly yours, francis lieber. To john jay, Esq, President of Union League Club, New York.
