Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Three Patriots: Or, the Cause and Cure of Present Evils, Addressed to the Voters of Maryland Our country presents to the view of an observer a most extraordinary and singular spectacle; raised in the short space of twelve years, from a state of almost universal bankruptcy and national weakness, to a high degree of wealth and national consideration; and, in less than the ten next succeeding years, reduced to a worse condition than that from which it had been raised. It is my intention in the following pages, 1st, to trace the progress of the causes by which it has been depressed, and then, 2dly, to show by what simple means it may be restored to its once enviable situation. With respect to the first head. To trace the causes which have reduced our country to its present situation, it is necessary we should revert to the time when our constitution was submitted to the people for their adoption or rejection. The Americans of that day had fought side by side, and by their army and efforts achieved their liberty and independence. Attached alike to the same principles of government when the constitution was discussed, they only differed, as a writer of the times well observed, about the mode of organizing its parts and arranging its powers.
