Book Description
Excerpt from The Question of the Independency of Military Officers Serving in Parliament, Stated and Considered: With Some Remarks Upon the Present Constitution of the Militia in England It is, my Lord, a paradox to say, that when we reason upon the constitution of this country, our minds ought to be purged from all ideas that are connected with any other constitution, and, I had almost said, with any, but the general, principles of government. I shall confine this observation to the subject upon which I take up the pen, I mean the connection that, in the British constitution, subsists, or ought to subsist, between the civil and military power. To an Englishman in France or Germany, every thing about him tends to inspire him with an idea that they are the same; but that the turn of the scale, as we may call it, ought to be in favour of the military. Officers are the companions of sovereign princes; they fit at their table; their very profession makes them gentlemen; they are capacitated to discharge the most important civil duties; and the subject even looks upon it as an honour when a man of war deigns to become his judge.

The Federalist Papers

Book Description
Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.
