Sinopsis
Excerpt from Federal Usurpation
In each of the chapters of this book, after the first, I have sought to gather the facts illustrating usurpations of government at some particular period or by some particular department. I am aware that it may be said that the public interest in such facts is temporary rather than permanent and that political parties will uncover these facts. Our political parties to - day are mere politi cal machines living upon the spoils of oflice and giving little heed to great public questions. The leaders of these parties deal in glittering generalities, the one seem ing to favor centralization of power in the National Government and the other espousing the cause of state rights, but it is apparent that they do not widely differ in reality as to details. The very existence of these parties depends upon extending the power of govern ment, multiplying commissions, licenses, offices, and special privileges. Exposure of usurpations will never come from those who profit by usurpations.

Excerpt from Federal Usurpation
This book is a plea for the sacredness of the Constitution of the United States. I do not mean by this that I consider our Constitution, framed a hundred and twenty years ago, well suited to the needs of our existing government. Its rigid provisions, its system of checks and balances, are an obstacle to popular government, and they should be radically changed by amendment, but never by construction or usurpation. This book was suggested by the Presidents speech at Harrisburg in 1906, in which he declared that the power of the Federal Government should be increased through executive action. and through judicial interpretation and construction of law. A little later, at the Pennsylvania Society in New York, Mr. Root, the head of the Cabinet and the close friend of the President, declared that if the people desire it sooner or later constructions of the Constitution. will be found to vest additional power in the National Government. Hitherto governmental usurpation generally has advanced by silent and gradual attacks upon constitutional safeguards. Never before in human history, I believe, has the head of a constitutional government who had sworn to protect, preserve, and defend its fundamental provisions publicly advised their subversion through executive action and through judicial interpretation.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the US constitution, created after the Civil War, has clauses that allow for the government to erode the rights of individual states. The author provides historical context and details examples of the government overstepping its powers. They examine the long-term consequences of usurpations of power, such as the expansion of federal power at the expense of state autonomy. This expansion began innocently enough during the Civil War era but became more pronounced during the Reconstruction period. It continued in the present day, reaching alarming proportions. The author fears that the unfettered growth of federal power will eventually lead to the destruction of individual liberty and the end of the American republic. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
