Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the English Constitution, Vol. 1 of 2: An Historical Treatise in Which Is Drawn Out, by the Light of the Most Recent Researches, the Gradual Development of the English Constitutional System, and the Growth Out of That System of the Federal Republic of the United States; The Making of the Const The task essayed in this work involves an attempt to draw out, within the limits of two octavo volumes, the entire historic development of the English constitutional system, and the growth out of that system of the federal republic of the United States. In the Introduction an effort has been made to emphasize the fact that the constitutional histories of England and of the United States constitute a continuous and natural evolution which can only be fully mastered when viewed as one unbroken story. That story the author has attempted to unfold in the light of the latest researches, - English, German, French, and American, - and in such a manner as to impart to it something of a human interest. The double effort has been made to satisfy the critical student of the "Science of Politics" as to fulness and accuracy of detail, and at the same time to interest every American citizen who desires to read within reasonable limits the entire history of the wonderful constitution under which he lives. The growth of English and American constitutions, considered as a single progressive development, is a subject of paramount importance and of almost universal interest. By the sixteenth century nearly every effort that had been made to establish representative government upon the continent of Europe had come to an end. In England only, among the Teutonic nations, did the representative system survive; in England only has the representative principle - which has been called "a Teutonic invention" - been able to maintain a continuous existence. In that way the English nation has been able to hand down the representative principle from the barbarian epoch to modern × in that way England has become the "mother of parliaments," - the teacher of the science of representative government to all the world.
