Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Power and Responsibility of American Bar The American government has been and essentially is a government by lawyers. Of the 28 Presidents 23 have been lawyers; of the 46 Secretaries of State 44 have been lawyers; all of the Attorneys General; all of the judges of the federal courts; of the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence 25 were lawyers; and of the 55 framers of the Federal Constitution 31 were lawyers. In the present Congress over two-thirds of the Senators are lawyers (69 out of 96) and over half of the Representatives (276 out of 435). In 1920 there were but 122,519 lawyers, judges, and justices in this country of over one hundred and five millions of people. Never before in the history of the world has so great and intelligent a nation been governed by so small a body of men. This power of the legal profession in America is hardly realized by the profession itself. And that power is increasing year by year.
