A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The attitude of some State courts toward what is genericalliy spoken of as welfare or regulative legislation has led, chiefly in those States, to several proposals of constitutional change affecting the relation of courts to legislation. The people have been most reluctant to admit that either their constitutions or any instrumentality of government created by their constitutions should bar them permanently from any pathway of progress and justice which is pointed out by the experience, and called for by the conscience, of this and other civilized nations. The electorate has to no small degree lost patience with public men and political partie Sjwho, like Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler at the New York Republican State Convention at Rochester in A pril, 1912, urge that a Workingmen s Compensation Law be enacted in this State, but suggest no way and support no plan for bringing that about, especially when so zealous a tenword advocacy of such legislation is preceded and followed by a thousand-word plea for the resolute maintenance, evidently without amendment, It is said the constitution was made in the eighteenth century by men who lived under conditions long since passed away. Therefore, the constitution is outgrown.
