Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some of the Difficulties in the Administration of a Free Government: A Discourse Pronounced Before the Rhode Island Alpha of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, July 8, 1851 The problem of a wise constitution, is of much easier solution, than that of a wise administration of government. A constitution of government, is but a generalization of principles, deduced by philosophy from an experience actually realized. An administration of government, on the other hand, is an application of principles to a new experience constantly arising. The one may be said to have an ascertained certainty in the test of the past. The other must remain uncertain until determined by the test of the future. The difference is, between that which is suggested by events, and is a deduction from them, and that which anticipates events, and is to be judged by them. Hence the one is comparatively permanent - standing on great principles, which rarely change; while the other is fluctuating - perpetually subject to outward influences, which are never settled. The grand inference and lesson from all this, is, that the difficulties in government are not, or at least, not so much, in its organic structure, as in the practical carrying out of the principles prescribed by that structure, in the administration of affairs.
