Book Description
Excerpt from Bibliography of the District of Columbia: Being a List of Books, Maps, and Newspapers, Including Articles in Magazines and Other Publications to 1898 Therefore it is not expected that in this instance an exception has been made to the general rule and that success has crowned the effort to include every title which should be in such a catalogue. It is the hope of the compiler, as well as of the Columbia Historical Society under whose auspices the work has been done, that it will serve a useful purpose in making available material relating to the District. The compiler has met with ready cooperation and encouragement from a large number of persons. Individual mention of some whose assistance has been helpful was made in a report to the Columbia Historical Society and printed in the third volume of its proceedings. He desires to express his obligations to Mr. Charles C. Darwin, who kindly gave the benefit of his expert knowledge while these pages were in press.

Category : Home rule
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book is the only annotated bibliography of primary and secondary works documenting the history of home rule in the District of Columbia. How the District should be governed has long been controversial and its current governing framework is the product of a tortured evolution. The issue essentially has been the debating for over 200 years of how much power local residents should have over a city that also serves as the nations capital. This larger question of federalism is also reflected in many subsidiary questions, such as those involving taxation, the power of local officials, zoning, and who is authorized to make decisions on major health issues such abortion, euthanasia, and marijuana. While many of these issues may be local to DC, decisions regarding them can greatly impact the nation as a whole. It is frequently argued that DC residents do not receive an equal voice with residents of the states. Such a paradox raises thorny questions concerning how truly equal and democratic is the United States of America.

This guide focuses on materials that are readily available to historians, political scientists, legal scholars, and researchers.
