Excerpt from Our Methods of Legislation and Their Defects
When we take into consideration that modern society has been reorganized by what has taken place within eighty years, that the growth of wealth has advanced at a rate fifty fold as compared to its growth anterior to this century; as to population, fourfold to what it was anterior to this century; and corporations have multiplied a hundredfold within the same time, and that all this brings upon the legislative body, however pure it may be, a pressure for special rights and a corresponding disregard of general rights quite beyond any proportion to what existed anterior to this century - it seems quite inexplicable why that differentiation which has taken place in every well-constituted factory, in every well-consti tuted department of human industry of any description, has not taken place in our legislation, and that our community has not deemed it necessary to erect bulwarks against this pressure of special interests.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the issues and inefficiencies of the 19th-century legislative process in the United States. The author examines how methods of legislation had not yet caught up with the increasing complexity of American society. The author argues that the lack of organization and oversight, as well as the absence of clear distinctions between public and private legislation, led to corruption and a lack of accountability. The book proposes an overhaul of the legislative process, including the separation of private and public bills, increased public scrutiny, and the establishment of independent oversight bodies. This would lead to more transparent and effective legislation that better serves the public interest. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
