Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of papers presented at a convention where political scientists discussed constitutional reform in the early 1900s. The author was an attendee at the conference and provides an analysis of the discussions and ideas from that meeting. It considers questions that are still relevant today including the appropriate balance between voter and official power, government efficiency, and how best to adapt constitutions to a changing society. The author believes that constitutions should be tailored to the specific needs and social conditions of a particular time and place, and provides an overview of the different models that have been used to organize governments, including the US and other constitutional monarchies. He discusses how the principles of government stated in our constitution can help us move forward and how they can also lead to stagnation and a failure to properly address new challenges as they arise. The author concludes that the best form of government is one that is responsive to public opinion and free to reflect that opinion in legislation when expressed. This book is significant because it presents viewpoints of political scientists from over a century ago who debated many of the same issues we are still grappling with today concerning constitutional law.
