Europe Incapable of American Democracy: An Outline Tracing of the Irreversible Course of Constitutional History - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
The track of human affairs, though traversed by a thousand cloudy theories of each passing day, cornea out wonderfully simple in review. There is little of intricacy in the mighty plans of Providence. Broadfeatured, slow in process, and to be recognized by all, are the ways of God in the affairs of men. The world has plainly exhibited a regular development of social economy, progressing from its first inhabitation by man, taking one westward direction as the sun, never ceasing, and never reverting. Political constitutions have been based on one of three principles successively, and in three several stages of experiment. Human government naturally began as monarchy, and Asia was the first scene of its action. In its westward course, Em-ope saw its next development on the wider basis of aristocracy. It is now spreading itself in broad democracy, over the gigantic area apparently prepared for its utmost expansion, in A merica. I mean by Monarchy, in principle, the sovereignty of one; by A ristocracy, that of leaders; and by pm-e American Democracy, that of the whole people making and unmaking their own administration, from time to time, at their will.
