To no people is political knowledge so important as to us each citizen being both sovereign and subject. Our duty as subjects, we, like the subjects of other countries, are taught by legislative enactments; but our duty in assisting to enact laws and form written constitutions, we can learn only by study; especially as laws desirable for aS tate may be fundamentally improper for the Federal Gov ernment. This conflict of proprieties is misunderstood universally by foreigners their pre-existing notions of nationalities mystifying our Federal limitations while the same difficulty, existing ratably among ourselves, disturbs the fellowship of our thirty millions of inhabitants, and endangers the union of ourS tates. The present publication discusses most of those governmental peculiarities that our progress has shown to be disturbing, guiding us thus, by a practical detail, to a better understanding of our polity than could any treatise on Government, written systematically in abstract general propositions.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the political evolution of the United States Constitution and the country's growing pains with regard to the expansion of its territory. The author traces the development of the sovereignty of individual states, the clash between Northern and Southern states over the issue of slavery, and the eventuality of the Civil War. The author suggests that the very structure and limitations of the Constitution, far from being a weakness, are in fact the greatest strength of the United States as a nation. The author argues that, while the government has expanded beyond the Founders' expectations, its balance of power between the federal government and the individual states allows conflicts of interest to be resolved peacefully and justly. This dynamic preservation of peace serves as a testament to the wisdom of the Constitution's architects, and it has made possible the United States' long-standing stability and success as a nation.
