Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Local Government in Canada, Vol. 5 of 6: An Historical Study "Local assemblies of citizens constitute the strength of free nations. Municipal institutions are to liberty what primary schools are to science; they bring it within the peoples reach; they teach men how to use and how to enjoy it. A nation may establish a system of free government, but without the spirit of municipal institutions, it cannot have the spirit of liberty." - De Tocqueville, Democracy in America, Vol. I. Ch. v. I. - Introductory. I propose to give in this paper an historical review of the origin and growth of the municipal system of Canada. Such a review suggested itself to me after a careful perusal of the valuable series of essays that are appearing from the press of the Johns Hopkins University in the State of Maryland. These studies are remarkable for the information they give on a subject to which historians of the United States have hitherto devoted very little attention. The papers that have already been published with respect to the local institutions of Virginia, of Maryland, and of the New England States, enable us to follow step by step the progress of the people in self-government.
