Book Description
Excerpt from Civil Government: As Developed in the States and in the United States The thanks of the author are due and are hereby tendered to the several critical scholars who kindly read the manuscript, and who gave him the benefit of their judicious criticisms. The author is under many obligations to Dr. John W. Perrin, professor of history in Adelbert College, of the Western Reserve University, Cleveland, for much valuable aid; and his careful reading of the manuscript has greatly increased the accuracy of the text. Where students have had a course in English history, chapters II and III may be omitted, and in this way the book can be covered in a briefer time without losing sight of the ultimate aim. For the sake of clearness, several principles and facts are repeated, even at the risk of making the book prosaic. It is believed that actual teachers will consider this an advantage. The century just closed has been remarkable in many ways, but in none more than in the impetus it has given to the develop ment of the idea of the sovereignty of man. The United States, more than any other nation, exemplifies in its government this great principle. The local government of our country is its natural nursery: therefore our schools should constantly magnify these local units and impress the coming citizens with an earnest effort to maintain them as organized communities.

Book Description
In this classic work, John Fiske provides a detailed analysis of the origins and development of civil government in the United States. He traces the historical development of American government, and examines the impact of liberalism, democracy, and federalism on the structure and function of the state. Fiske argues that the success of American government is due in large part to its emphasis on individual rights and freedoms, and to the balance of power between different branches of government. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American political history and theory.

The Civil Government of the United States (Revised) (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 320
Book Description
Excerpt from The Civil Government of the United States (Revised) A new educational work, should, in itself, plainly indicate the excuse for its existence. Especially is this true of a textbook upon Civil Government, since the subject has been already so well treated in the various works now in daily use. Probably no one at this time doubts the propriety of giving the study of Civil Government a prominent place in our schools. Some of the pupils in the school rooms to-day will, in a few years, be occupying public positions of responsibility and power; and while these maybe comparatively few in number, yet in this country every citizen has political duties to perform, and should therefore be familiar with the plan and workings of the government which imposes them. Hence it remains only a question as to the manner in which the subject may be most effectively presented for the purposes of instruction. Those who, as teachers, have heard their classes in Civil Government complain that the subject was dry and uninteresting, need only consult their own recollections to know the justice of such complaints. It certainly is not possible to invest the subject with the charms of romance, or give it the thrilling interest of a History of the Crusades or the Conquest of Mexico. But it has seemed possible for a text-book upon Civil Government to be made so readable that it will invite and hold the attention of the pupil, instead of being the passive object of compulsory study. To accomplish this has been the aim in the preparation of this work. Our government being representative, the popular will controls, through these channels of representation, the intermediate political subdivisions, and finally asserts itself in the power of the Federal Government.

Book Description
Excerpt from Civil Government in the United States: Considered With Some Reference to Its Origins Some time ago, my friends, Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., requested me to write a small book on Civil Government in the United States, which might be useful as a text-book, and at the same time serviceable and suggestive to the general reader interested in American history. In preparing the book certain points have been kept especially in view, and deserve some mention here. It seemed desirable to adopt a historical method of exposition, not simply describing our political institutions in their present shape, but pointing out their origin, indicating some of the processes through which they have acquired that present shape, and thus keeping before the student's mind the fact that government is perpetually undergoing modifications in adapting itself to new conditions. Inasmuch as such gradual changes in government do not make themselves, but arc made by men - and made either for better or for worse - it is obvious that the history of political institutions has serious lessons to teach us. The student should as soon as possible come to understand that every institution is the outgrowth of experiences.

Elements of Civil Government (Classic Reprint)
Author: William Carey JonesPublisher:
ISBN: 9781331041177
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of Civil Government The plan of this book is that of a gradual development from the known to the unknown, from the near to the distant, from the local to the general, from the concrete to the abstract. The plan is designed, furthermore, to tell only what cannot readily be observed, the purpose being to stimulate observation and inquiry. It is intended that a substantial basis of knowledge shall be gained before general reflections are indulged in. It will be seen, therefore, that the farther we go away from the home of the pupil, the greater the detail of information given him. The questions in the earlier chapters are intended to supply the place of text. The pupil is, accordingly, required by observation and inquiry to build up his own text. The questions in succeeding chapters are more in the nature of questions on the text. The teacher is, of course, expected to enlarge upon these questions indefinitely. It is assumed that the teacher will be progressively more exacting in the answers required of the pupils. The repetition of questions in the book will thus serve as a means both of review and of extending the knowledge of the subject-matter. Thus, on the topics of elections and suffrage, the pupil will get his first rudimentary knowledge from the election of school trustees; this knowledge will be enlarged and reinforced by successively studying the methods and conditions of elections in city, county, State, and nation. Similarly, again, in regard to taxation. These two topics, especially, are regarded as of fundamental importance, and should be insisted upon and developed with the utmost care, patience, and perseverance.
