Pages : 420
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.

Pages : 0
Book Description
A beautiful commemorative edition of Dr. Martin Luther King's essay "Letter from Birmingham Jail," part of Dr. King's archives published exclusively by HarperCollins. With an afterword by Reginald Dwayne Betts On April 16, 1923, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., responded to an open letter written and published by eight white clergyman admonishing the civil rights demonstrations happening in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. King drafted his seminal response on scraps of paper smuggled into jail. King criticizes his detractors for caring more about order than justice, defends nonviolent protests, and argues for the moral responsibility to obey just laws while disobeying unjust ones. "Letter from Birmingham Jail" proclaims a message - confronting any injustice is an acceptable and righteous reason for civil disobedience. This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King's speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.
A Brief Statement of the Rights of the Seneca Indians in the State of New York

Book Description
Excerpt from A Brief Statement of the Rights of the Seneca Indians in the State of New York: To Their Lands in That State, With Decisions Relative by the State and United States Courts and Extracts From United States Laws, &C. Also, Drafts of a Proposed Memorial to Congress, and a Bill to Enable Them to Lease and Divide Their Lands The principal design of the Committee of the Society of Friends in preparing the annexed statement, is to show the Seneca Indians in the State of New York, the character of the title to the lands they occupy under the decisions of the Courts of the United States, and the Courts of the State of New York. It is known to them that the Government considers all Indians its wards, and as such, under its special protection and oversight. It has charge of their funds, and the annuities they are entitled to are annually paid to them by its officers appointed for the purpose. The history of the origin of the right which certain citizens of the United States have to extinguish, by purchase, the title of the Seneca Indians to their reservations, when they are willing to sell them, has been derived from authentic sources, and is printed, with the legal decisions respecting it, in order to give them a clear understanding of that right. It appears from the decisions of the Courts, as well as the articles of the treaty of 1794, quoted therein, that the Indian occupants cannot be deprived of their lands without their consent. They are "to remain theirs until they choose to sell them," and they are not subject to taxation of any kind. The extracts from laws and decisions of courts, which are added, contain information respecting their rights, which should also be understood. The draft of a Memorial, and the Act which it is proposed Congress shall be requested to pass, are also printed, in order to give an opportunity for all interested in the latter, to examine and carefully consider, before they are presented for the action of that body.
