Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Civil Government Describing the Various Forms of Government-Local, State, and National-and Discussing the Government of the United States From an Historical Stand-Point Men seek after liberty, and find it only in being well governed. The highest liberty, therefore, is in the best government: a government wisely planned and faithfully administered. The people of the United States when ordaining and establishing the Constitution were actuated by a desire to secure to themselves and their posterity the blessings of liberty. We are now enjoying in a large measure the civil and religious freedom which our system of government is so happily adapted to secure. Whether these will be enjoyed by our posterity will depend largely upon what shall be done to qualify the rising generation of American youth for the duties and responsibilities of freemen. In a system of government like ours, where the popular will is paramount and sovereign, and where by virtue of the system itself every male citizen enjoys the privilege of suffrage, each individual is confronted with grave responsibilities. Political privilege begets political responsibility, and a citizen who enjoys the one must assume the other, or, in his capacity as a citizen, be unpardonably delinquent. In a very few years the destinies of the republic will be committed to those who are now receiving instruction in the schools. How important, then, that the course of instruction should embrace the study of Civil Government. In theory ours is a government of the people; and that it may be such in fact, the people must know how to govern.
