A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the following pages an attempt has been made to describe how government by the people is carried on in the United States so far as each voter is entitled to participate personally in it. The will of the majority finds expression through channels of custom which only in part are defined by law. How political parties are constituted and how elections are conducted has been set forth, together with some account of the various devices which are employed to hinder or distort the recording of the mandates of the sovereign power. The aim of the book is to give facts for the practical information of the voter, without argument either for or against any theory or proposal of reform. The history of elections and of election laws has been drawn upon only so far as it seemed necessary to make clear why certain features of the election system exist and how they operate. The election laws of the several States, while alike in their general provisions, differ in detail. The principles which underlie all the State laws have been outlined, and by way of illustration the provisions of the laws of New York State have been fully described.
