Excerpt from The Administration of Dependencies: A Study of the Evolution of the Federal Empire, With Special Reference to American Colonial Problems
Regarding it as the expression of the popular will, there are no principles which determine the decision of its problems other than those which are commonly accepted as such by the people, and each question, as it arises, is to be decided by the light of such ordinary knowledge and capacity for reasoning as the people may happen to have at the moment when the decision is to be made. Regarding' government as a science, the problems which arise are decided according to principles which can only be ascertained by study and experience, and which, if properly applied, will lead to a right, as distinguished from a wrong solution. In this view, the depositary of governmental power is required to bring to each problem a knowledge of historical and economic facts and of social, political, and economic principles, a faculty for scientific and judicial investigation, and a trained capacity for reasoning.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the Federal Empire, a form of political organization that has often been misunderstood. The author traces the roots of this concept back to English and French administration from the 16th to 18th centuries, arguing that our revolutionary leaders understood the principles of federalism better than any statesmen before or since. By examining the American, British, and European theory and practice from the adoption of the Constitution until the present time, the book uncovers how these principles have been recognized and followed, and the results. The reader will gain a new understanding of the complex relationship between states and their dependencies, the theory and practice of colonialism, and the challenges of governing diverse populations within a single political entity.
