Synopsis

This book provides a thorough examination of the evolution of budgetary rights wielded by American state governments. It traces the development of budget control and illuminates the vital role it played in the shaping of constitutional democracy in the United States. The author explores the historical struggle between citizens and rulers to determine the allocation of funds, highlighting the fundamental tenets that arose from these conflicts. Furthermore, the book identifies limits and constraints placed on budgetary powers and the underlying principles behind them. It also analyzes the impact of the federal constitution on state fiscal operations and delves into the various restrictions on taxing and appropriation authority imposed by state constitutions. Finally, the book explores the practical aspects of the budgeting process, including revenue collection and expenditure control. This comprehensive study of budget rights in American state governments offers valuable insights, making it an indispensable resource for scholars and public finance practitioners.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the preface to Professor Burgess swork on Political Science and Constitutional Law one reads the following words: It is, indeed, a serious thing to ask the world to read a book. It should never be done unless the book answers a purpose not fulfilled, or not so well fulfilled bysome book already existing. Ever since the author of this monograph read that statement his own conscience has been troubling him sorely. The need for some treatise on the subject with which this one purports to deal has been, of course, generally recognized; but whether the pages here offered meet this need to a degree that justifies their publication is a question concerning whidh the author has been harassed by numerous doubts. Now, however, it is too late to retract, and therefore the author fondly cherishes the hope that at least somebody may find something of interest somewhere within these pages, and if such person be only induced to go into the matter a little further, the author will feel that what he has attempted has not been entirely in vain nor absolutely without justification. In the second place, the author desires to explain that in only a few cases has he been able to go into the court decisions, concerning certain points that are discussed in the body of the monograph. The reason for this was that he found that such decisions were entirely too numerous to permit an examination of them for all the states, as would have been necessary if he were going to attempt it at all. He hopes at a later time to work this out more fully.
