The Constitutional History of the United States, 1776-1876
Author: Homer Carey HockettPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Constitutional history
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
Taken as a whole, these two volumes examine the first one hundred years of American constitutional history. The times demand an intelligent understanding and appraisal of the origin and growth of the principles of our system of government, if this system is to survive on its merits or to be wisely modified and adapted to twentieth-century conditions and needs. Many of our citizens hold mythological ideas concerning the origin and nature of the constitution, and errors of this kind can be combatted only by presenting the true history. These volumes represent an attempt to present that history. -- from the preface to volume one.

States' Rights and the Union
Author: Forrest McDonaldPublisher: University Press of Kansas
ISBN: 0700612270
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Forrest McDonald has long been recognized as one of our most respected and provocative intellectual hsitorians. With this new book, he once again delivers an illuminating meditation on a major theme in American history and politics. Elegantly and accessibly written for a broad readership, McDonald's book provides an insightful look at states' rights-an issue that continues to stir debate nationwide. From constitutional scholars to Supreme Court justices to an electorate that's grown increasingly wary of federal power, the concept of states' rights has become a touchstone for a host of political and legal controversies. But, as McDonald shows, that concept has deep roots that need to be examined if we're to understand its implications for current and future debates. McDonald's study revolves around the concept of imperium in imperio-literally "sovereignty within sovereignty" or the division of power within a single jurisdiction. With this broad principle in hand, he traces the states' rights idea from the Declaration of Independence to the end of Reconstruction and illuminates the constitutional, political, and economic contexts in which it evolved. Although the Constitution, McDonald shows, gave the central government expansive powers, it also legitimated the doctrine of states' rights. The result was an uneasy tension and uncertainty about the nature of the central government's relationship to the states. At times the issue bubbled silently and unseen beneath the surface of public awareness, but at other times it exploded. McDonald follows this episodic rise and fall of federal-state relations from the Hamilton-Jefferson rivalry to the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, New England's resistance to Jefferson's foreign policy and the War of 1812, the Nullification Controversy, Andrew Jackson's war against the Bank of the United States, and finally the vitriolic public debates that led to secession and civil war. Other scholars have touched upon these events individually, but McDonald is the first to integrate all of them from the perspective of states' rights into one synthetic and magisterial vision. The result is another brilliant study from a masterful historian writing on a subject of great import for Americans.
