The Fundamentals of American Government
Author: Charles Z. LincolnPublisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780332355016
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Excerpt from The Fundamentals of American Government: Including the Great Documents on Which Its Institutions Are Founded and the Statutes Relating to Naturalization and Expatriation, With an Introduction and Explanatory Notes The title of the book shows what it is, or, at least, what it is intended to be. It is prepared primarily for the information of foreigners intending to become Ameri can citizens; but it is hoped that it will also be useful to experienced citizens, and to native Americans coming into citizenship. The chief purpose of the book is the presentation in convenient form of the four great docu ments which compose the foundation of our government, namely, Magna Charta, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution of the United States. These have been preceded by a gen eral introduction, in which I have tried to set forth, as briefly as practicable, the elements of our system of gov ernment, the relations sustained by the states to one another and to the nation, and also some Observations on the rights, privileges, immunities, and duties of citizens.

American Historical Documents 1000-1904 (Classic Reprint)
Author: Charles William EliotPublisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780483523654
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
Excerpt from American Historical Documents 1000-1904 NO final history of the United States of America has been written, or is likely to be written. Research is constantly bringing to light new facts that correct details or modify the traditional view Of larger ques tions; and the most impartial historian is subject to personal 01 sec tional bias which leads to his works being regarded as imperfect by another generation, or as unfair by the people Of parts Of the country other than his own. In such a series as the present, then, it is unwise to represent the story of the growth of this nation by the summary of any one scholar. The alternative has been to place before the reader a selection Of the most important documents which record in contemporary terms the great events in the history of the country. Beginning with the personal records of the earliest discoverers of the continent, the selection goes on to present the first attempts at organizing a machinery of government made by the first settlers Of the New England colonies; proceeds to the landmarks of the struggle for independence and the formation of the Constitution; Shows the laying Of the foundation of national policies and of the interpretation of the Constitution; indicates by the texts of the treaties themselves the acquisition of each successive increase of terri tory; and reveals by the original state papers the main causes and effects Of the wars in which the country has from time to time been engaged. Read in succession, these documents afford a condensed view of the politiml progress Of the American people; freed from any prejudice save that which swayed the makers of the history themselves.

The Federalist Papers
Author: Alexander HamiltonPublisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1528785878
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.
