Book Description
Excerpt from Outlines of the Constitutional History of the United States This work is designed to be a beginning book for students, or general readers, who desire to learn some thing of the character and history of the Constitution of the United States. It is an elementary account of government in the United States. It gives a brief state ment of the main facts of our constitutional history but it does not profess to be a constitutional history in the full meaning of the term. For the general reader or for high-school use it prob ably covers sufficient ground. For the college student it attempts simply to point the way to extended study by a brief but connected review of the main facts, showing what is of chief importance for further study, and embracing those political documents which every student of our history must thoroughly understand.

Book Description
Excerpt from Constitutional History of the United States Important additions have been made to the original Constitution by way of amendment, but scarcely more so than those which have come to it through the process of the gradual unfolding of its unexpressed meaning, which has naturally followed the expansion of our national domain, the development of our national re sources, the meeting of new responsibilities in govern ment, the contending with new difficulties which have confronted us in the execution of our newly acquired powers. While we have a wmtten, and therefore, in a' certain sense, a settled Constitution, it is an elastic one. Had the original Constitution of 1787 been so limited by its own terms that it could not have been construed to mean more than was actually and clearly expressed by the language in which it was clothed, our Government would soon have gone to wreck or have remained a feeble and insignificant member of the sisterhood of nations, unless by amendment of the old, or by the adoption of a new constitution new power had been given it. Fortunately it was not so framed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
