Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reconstruction of the Union Dear Senator: There is one feature in our Institutions in this country which foreigners, from their want of familiarity with it, find hard to understand, and which our own people, from their great familiarity with it, do not seem fully to appreciate. That feature is, that every great principle affecting the whole people and the national welfare, is settled, not by the Government, but by the people. The Government, in all its branches, executive, judicial and legislative, is but the instrument of carrying into effect the determination of the actually ruling power - the will of the people. That determination is made by the masses. It is public opinion that is the ruling power with us, and first or last, it is sure to exercise its supreme control; sometimes in one mode and sometimes in another; sometimes by affirmative action, and sometimes by abstinence from action; sometimes rapidly and often slowly, and only through the long deliberation of the people.
