Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Publications of the University of Pennsylvania: The Suffrage Franchise in the Thirteen English Colonies in America This historical sketch of the colonial suffrage is the outgrowth of studies begun several years ago in the Department of Philosophy of the University of Pennsylvania. The purpose of the writer has been to present the dynamic or developmental aspect of the subject rather than the analytic; he has not been content with a mere summary of the suffrage qualifications in the several colonies, but has endeavored to trace the growth of colonial ideals and practices respecting the elective franchise. A comparative or analytic treatment might have been of value to the student of colonial institutions, but there were sufficient reasons for putting this method aside. In the first place, the excellent analysis to be found in Bishop´s History of Elections in the American Colonies could scarely be improved upon; and, secondly, the comparative arrangement would give but slightly opportunity for the narrative element. Consequently, the subject has been treated locally; and, wherever the existing records have rendered such treatment possible, sufficient details have been given to lead to a compression of the motives of colonial legislators in their policy of suffrage restriction. The dis-advantages of repetition have been braved rather than sacrifice the consecutive narrative in any colony. To a complete knowledge of the suffrage franchise, an acquaintance with the representative systems, the methods of voting and the whole elective machinery is necessary; and frequent references have been made to these subjects. The author has, however, had in mind the fact that detailed studies of some of these features have already been made, and he has governed himself largely in the inclusion or rejection of such material, by the extent to which it has hirtherto been used.
