Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Power of the Commander-in-Chief to Declare Martial Law, and Decree Emancipation: As Shown From B. R. Curtis Hon. B. R. Curtis. - Sir: You will allow one of those to whom you dedicate your pamphlet, one sworn to support the Constitution, and a friend to the principles of civil liberty embodied in it, to reply to some of its doctrines, and state a few things that occur on reading it. You assume that the matter of the Proclamation was intended only to be submitted to the people as matter of discussion, as you say; yet you do not seem to really think so when you take such pains to prepare your argument against the power which the President asserts for himself. I cannot think with you that there is nothing in the position of the country to prevent the exercise of this power from being called in question. On the contrary, you assume the gravest responsibility that an American can assume, in deliberately declaring that the exercise of the highest war power is the usurpation of military despotism. In candor it must be said, that were you as pure a patriot as you think yourself to be, it would be expected that you would privately submit your views to the Executive who asserts this power, and if this did not change his opinions you would conscientiously abstain from giving public utterance to them. For this is one of those cases in which the pen is mightier than the sword. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
