Outlines Of The Constitutional History Of The United States Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Outlines of the Constitutional History of the United States This work is designed to be a beginning book for students, or general readers, who desire to learn some thing of the character and history of the Constitution of the United States. It is an elementary account of government in the United States. It gives a brief state ment of the main facts of our constitutional history but it does not profess to be a constitutional history in the full meaning of the term. For the general reader or for high-school use it prob ably covers sufficient ground. For the college student it attempts simply to point the way to extended study by a brief but connected review of the main facts, showing what is of chief importance for further study, and embracing those political documents which every student of our history must thoroughly understand.

Excerpt from An Outline Sketch of English Constitutional History It is very likely that the task which I have undertaken in this little book is an impossible one. Even to sketch so long a history in so few words seems hopeless, and I am sure that I have left out many things which other students of the English constitution will think should be found here. I have tried to keep in mind in writing chiefly the desire to show how modern liberty came to be what it is and what foundations our institutions have in the past history of the race. I am indebted to the Editors for permission to use portions of an article which appeared in the American Historical Review for July, 1915.

Excerpt from Notes on the Constitutional History of the United States The opinions expressed on disputed questions which arose in our history, I think, are not par tisan. The student can investigate and judge for himself of their correctness. I must express my gratitude to my honored teacher, Professor Henry 7. Torrey, of Har vard College, for the interest he gave me in this study, and to the Honorable R. B. Carnahan, of Pittsburgh, for information on the practical working of our governments.
