Book Description
Excerpt from The State and Government This book is intended for the general reader, not for the specialist, and should be judged accordingly. It does not purport to be a sketchy description of present-day states and governments discussed from the comparative point of view; yet the hope is indulged that Sufficient illustrative mate rial has been used to make clear the underlying principles of the state, and its agent the government. I frankly acknowledge my indebtedness to the authors whose books are listed in the list of Refer ences. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from State Government in the United States State government in the United States is a subject on which many books might be written. This book is designed to furnish a critical analysis of the principles of state government in the United States. Beginning with a statement of the principles upon which the governments of the original states were estab lished, it explains how the original forms of government have developed in response to changing conditions, how the present state governments are meeting present needs, and concludes with a brief consideration of some of the contemporary plans for further reform. Why should we change our form of gov ernment? Has the time come for discarding the eighteenth century doctrine of the division of powers? These are some of the more fundamental questions to which the book attempts to give an answer. But the book is not solely concerned with the political philosophy of American state government. It also treats of the more practical problems arising out of the growth of the functions of the modern state and the increase of its administrative activities.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Government of the United States: National, State, and Local The plan, scope, content, and temper of this book are in large measure the outgrowth of my experience as a teacher. My students, by the drift of their questions and discussions, have moulded my ideas of what a text-book ought to contain. This book is theirs as much as it is mine. That fact may help to explain why some features of American government are dilated upon at considerable length, while others are left as self-evident propositions to the perception of the reader. It explains, moreover, why the same problem is occasionally discussed from different angles, even though this has in volved some degree Of repetition. And if the general tone of the book betrays an optimist, my sufficient answer is that no man can be for many years associated with the American undergraduate and remain anything else.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Government of the State of New York In the study of civics in our schools there is usually such strong emphasis laid on the National government that the student comes to think that the State government is of very little importance. This fact has led and is leading the public at large to regard the State as scarcely anything more than an administrative unit like the English county and the French department. Men of learning and prominence regard with equanimity the gradual encroachment of the National upon the State government. That men in general do not object to the increasing assumption of powers by the National government may be in part attributed to the training which they receive in the schools. Whether such assumption of power is good or bad is of course debatable. No one will deny, however, that it is contrary to the spirit of our institutions. The reduction of our States to mere divisions for administrative purposes was something never contemplated by the most ardent Federalists. With the hope of counteracting in a measure the present tendency to aggrandize the importance of the National government I have aimed to bring before the student the exceedingly important part which our State government plays in our daily life. Another object I have kept constantly in mind is to show the government in its actual working. For that reason at the end of each chapter are several paragraphs on actual conditions.

Excerpt from The Government of the State of Pennsylvania, Including Local Government A State of the United States. A State is the largest political division of the United States. It has a distinct government of its own established by the people of the State. The first thirteen States of the United States had their origin in the thirteen colonies established by England in this country. Most of the other States had been organized as Territories before their admission into the union. In the United States a State is more distinctly a political organization and at the same time more definitely a member of the union and a part of the national govern ment than in any other nation of the world.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Government of the People, of the State of Ohio It is not the national government, but the State government, acting through its local agencies, to which the American looks for the protection of life and property, for the security of his home and family, and for the education of his children. To understand the workings of State and local government is, therefore, even more important than to know the details of the national government. Since, however, the beginnings of no two States have been the same, the governments of hardly any two are alike, and no general description of the American State, as a mere chapter in American civil government, exactly fits any actual State. It is the purpose of this book, accordingly, to present such an outline of the civic history and of the governmental machinery of the State of Ohio as will enable youth in the high schools, and the higher grades of the grammar and rural schools, to understand both what the government is, and how it came to be, and what the duties and responsibilities are of citizens of Ohio. It is not possible to note in this book all the variations in county, township, and municipal government and powers, due to special legislation. The general type has been carefully given, and the leading exceptions have been indicated. Each teacher should ascertain and call attention to the peculiarities, if any exist, in local organization in his county and township, village, or city. While a knowledge of the form and powers of the government is important, two things should be borne in mind in the teaching of civics: (1) that concrete examples of governmental work drawn from local observation and study are the best aids to an understanding of the use and operations of orderly government, and (2) that the knowledge of forms and powers is barren, except as it leads to a conception of the duty and responsibility of each citizen under those forms for the right exercise of the powers.
