Présentation de l'éditeur

To no people is political knowledge so important as to us each citizen being both sovereign and subject. Our duty as subjects, we, like the subjects of other countries, are taught by legislative enactments; but our duty in assisting to enact laws and form written constitutions, we can learn only by study; especially as laws desirable for aS tate may be fundamentally improper for the Federal Gov ernment. This conflict of proprieties is misunderstood universally by foreigners their pre-existing notions of nationalities mystifying our Federal limitations while the same difficulty, existing ratably among ourselves, disturbs the fellowship of our thirty millions of inhabitants, and endangers the union of ourS tates. The present publication discusses most of those governmental peculiarities that our progress has shown to be disturbing, guiding us thus, by a practical detail, to a better understanding of our polity than could any treatise on Government, written systematically in abstract general propositions.
