Excerpt from The Revision of the State Constitution, Vol. 1: A Collection of Papers, Addresses and Discussions Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Political Science in the City of New York, November 19 and 20, 1914
To grow in power, to grow in capacity for true liberty and true justice by holding fast to true principles, is hard. There are many who grow tired, who would find some easier way; but the easier way will but lead from the true path into some other easy way, and that into some other. Self-government, which is the basis and essence of our free republican govern ment, is hard and discouraging. It requires courage and per sistency and true patriotism to keep the grip on the handle of the plow and drive the furrow through. But wherever there is a true principle embodied in our constitution, we must stand by it and maintain it against all patent nostrums.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of papers presented at a convention where political scientists discussed constitutional reform in the early 1900s. The author was an attendee at the conference and provides an analysis of the discussions and ideas from that meeting. It considers questions that are still relevant today including the appropriate balance between voter and official power, government efficiency, and how best to adapt constitutions to a changing society. The author believes that constitutions should be tailored to the specific needs and social conditions of a particular time and place, and provides an overview of the different models that have been used to organize governments, including the US and other constitutional monarchies. He discusses how the principles of government stated in our constitution can help us move forward and how they can also lead to stagnation and a failure to properly address new challenges as they arise. The author concludes that the best form of government is one that is responsive to public opinion and free to reflect that opinion in legislation when expressed. This book is significant because it presents viewpoints of political scientists from over a century ago who debated many of the same issues we are still grappling with today concerning constitutional law.
