Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Political Parties in the State of New-York, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Ratification of the Federal Constitution to December, 1840 I am now to approach a period in the political history of this state when an event occurred, in a measure unprecedented in any other part of the world, but which, highly to the honor of this country, and fortunately for its inhabitants, is not unusual in the United States. The event to which I allude, is a change, by the will of a majority of the people, peaceably and constitutionally expressed, of some of the important and fundamental principles of the government - I say important and fundamental principles, because the sovereign power of creating the executive and one branch of the legislative department of the government was, in a measure, transferred from one class of men to another, and because the power of disposing of nearly the whole patronage of the state was actually changed; and, I may add, that one branch of the law making power was abolished, and the functions held and exercised by that department, transferred to an individual. In past ages, in every other country, such a change could only have been effected by physical force, here it was brought about by moral power.
