Excerpt from A Treatise on Government, and Constitutional Law: Being an Inquiry Into the Source and Limitation of Governmental Authority, According to the American Theory
There are two theories respecting the source of governmental authority, which may be denominated the Monarchical and the Democratic. The first, is that of the monarch, who claims authority to govern by' divine right. The second, is that of the people, who claim that all governmental authority proceeds from them; that governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed, and are amen able to them. This latter theory is denominated the American Theory; and the following treatise has been constructed upon such hypothesis.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the core principles of American governance, exploring the profound shift from monarchical rule to a system built upon the consent of the governed. The author meticulously examines the historical and philosophical underpinnings of the American experiment, tracing its roots back to the Declaration of Independence and the revolutionary spirit that birthed a nation. Central to the book's exploration is the concept of natural rights, those inherent and inalienable entitlements to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The author delves into the implications of these rights within the context of a civil society, where individual freedoms intersect with the collective needs of the nation. Concepts of civil and political liberties are dissected, highlighting the delicate balance between personal autonomy and the necessary constraints imposed by a just government. As the author navigates through the intricacies of national sovereignty, governmental structures, and constitutional interpretation, a clear picture emerges of a nation founded on principles of equality, justice, and self-governance. The book's insights remain as relevant today as they were in the 19th century, offering a timeless reflection on the enduring principles that continue to shape the American political landscape.
