Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The United States Constitutional Manual: Being a Comprehensive Compendium of the System of Government of the Country; Presenting a View of the General Government, in Its Legislative, Executive and Judicial Departments; And of the Governments of the States, Particularly That of Pennsylvania, And An acquaintance with the political instutions of our country is so important, that it can neither be trite to recommend it as interesting and valuable, nor superfluous to offer new aid for its attainment. Where there is accuracy of information, on such a subject, the attempt ought not to be considered an unworthy one, if in its method it solicits attention, familiarizes useful knowledge, or is, in any way, adapted to the wants of society. The writer would ask that the proposition, in reference to the general subject, contained in the title, and divisions and heads of the work, be considered in connection with its declared purpose and necessary limits. There is no pretention here to the character of a full and extended treatise. The plan and method were required, it is apprehended, in order to present perspicuously the matter furnished, in a form suited for easy reference by all; and as having, besides, the advantage of suggesting to the student or reader a systematic course for pursuing his inquiries on the subject. No one can be more inclined to recommend to all, having an opportunity of acquiring it, a thorough and complete knowledge of the government and constitutional law of our country, to be derived from the many able and profound expositions thereof that arc extant. It will be observed, that the view here given of our system of government is a practical one; exhibiting it as actually existing and in operation, rather than with respect to the theory of it, in the abstract; and showing its powers and duties, as constitutionally ascertained, and administered in practice, rather than the reasons therefor. It is with this design, that the arrangement has been adopted, by which the general subject is treated of, not in the order of the text of the federal constitution, or of those of the States; but under divisions and heads appropriate to the real administration of our government and laws, and which allow of the introduction of a greater amount and variety of information in its natural place. In our complex political system, consisting of a general government, and a number of separate State governments, acting in certain relations to it and to each other, the distinction between the general government and the State governments is of the greatest moment, often being the occasion of questions of much weight and delicacy. It has, therefore, been made an object especially to present this principle, with its relative bearings, throughout the work; and, it is thought, the arrangement by which the subject of the general government and that of the State governments are treated of separately, under distinct heads, is particularly suited to this end. The relations of the States to each other are, also, thus kept in view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
