Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the concept of independence in the governance of modern nation-states. It argues that while popular democratic government has become almost universally accepted, it is essential to recognise that the judiciary and even some bureaucratic or administrative positions should remain independent of direct public or political control. The author illustrates his argument by drawing mostly on Canadian examples, but also draws on concepts from other democratic nations, like the United States and Britain. The author points out that there are limits to independence, and that it should be applied with consideration for the political and social realities of a nation, but the principle is indispensable for assuring the rights of citizens, the efficiency of government, and the overall health and prosperity of a society.
