Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Origin and Development of Local Self-Government: In England and the United States An eminent historian has said that the institution of municipal corporations contributed more, perhaps, than any other cause to the emancipation of Europe from the thraldom of feudalism. If we may believe all that the prophets of evil have to say about the condition of local self-government in the United States, the future historian will trace the destruction of liberty in the great republic to the development of those corporations, the original institution of which brought light out of darkness. The more conspicuous instances of misgovernment have been dwelt upon with such force, and to such an extent, that there is some danger of breeding a spirit, which, instead of seeking a remedy consistent with the preservation of the rights of self-government, will be content with nothing less than the destruction of those rights by the establishment of a centralized system of administration, such as exists in republican France. There has been a significant change during the last quarter of a century, and more especially since the late war, in the feelings with which the people of this country exercise what may be called their minor political duties.
