Book Description
Excerpt from The Origin and Development of the United States Senate In the following study an effort has been made to trace the development of the United States senate from the time that a second house was first proposed in the convention of 1787 to the present. In this discussion especial attention has been paid to the way in which the senate has exercised the powers granted to it by the constitution, and to the ways in which, either by an increase or a decrease of those powers, it has deviated from the purpose of the framers of the constitution. In doing this the three functions exercised by that body, legislative, executive and judicial, have been separately treated. It has been impossible to obtain a full knowledge of the proceedings of the senate during its early days, as the debates were not reported and the sessions, for some time, were held in secret. Our chief sources of information regarding the period are the "Annals of Congress" and the "Senate Journal." These are supplemented by the "Journal of Maclay," covering the period of the First Congress, and the writings of the early statesmen, especially those of Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton and Madison. The same difficulty exists throughout for the executive proceedings, as the executive sessions are still held in secret, and none of the debates have been made public, except in the few instances in which the injunction of secrecy has been removed from them. As the "Executive Journal" since 1869 has not been published, it is still more difficult to obtain an adequate knowledge of the executive proceedings since that date.

The Invention of the United States Senate
Author: Daniel WirlsPublisher: Johns Hopkins University Press
ISBN: 9780801874390
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
The invention of the United States Senate was the most complicated and confounding achievement of the Constitutional Convention. Although much has been written on various aspects of Senate history, this is the first book to examine and link the three central components of the Senate's creation: the theoretical models and institutional precedents leading up to the Constitutional Convention; the work of the Constitutional Convention on both the composition and powers of the Senate; and the initial institutionalization of the Senate from ratification through the early years of Congress. The authors show how theoretical principles of a properly constructed Senate interacted with political interests and power politics in the multidimensional struggle to construct the Senate, before, during, and after the convention.
