Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Recall, Excluding Judges: A Debate, the Constructive and Rebuttal Speeches of the Representatives of the University of Chicago, in the Fourteenth Annual Contests of the Central Debating League Against Michigan and Northwestern, January 19, 1912 The recall at the present moment occupies perhaps a larger share of public attention than any other one question of governmental policy. Although an outgrowth of the movement for the initiative and referendum in an effort to place more direct control of government in the hands of the people at large, the recall has separated itself to some degree from its companions, and is being studied on its own merits more than as a part of a larger scheme. This is due partly to new phases brought to light by a proposal to include the judiciary in its scope. When a president of the United States vetoes a bill for statehood because judges are made subject to recall, it is evident that the issue is a large one and must be analyzed with care. The recall of judges involves questions apart from the merits of the recall principle. By omitting judges, the question is narrowed to the fundamentals of the recall itself - its theory, tendencies and possibilities. Each Chicago team has considered three phases of it - its effect upon the government, the voter, and the official. They have not tried to enumerate every point, but have developed the high lights. Chicago lost both the debates on this subject, but offers neither excuses nor apologies. Debates are won by tactics and methods of attack and defense rather than by differences in subject matter. The value of these speeches to the reader lies in the soundness of the arguments, not to the fact that these arguments did or did not prevail in the debate itself.
