The brief in the long-standing case of the People of the City v. The Legislature of the State of New York has, during the last fifty years, been repeatedly filed and argued at the bar of public opinion in this state. It was first formally filed in behalf of the cities of the entire state by members of the ill-fated convention of 1867-8. It was re-filed in like behalf before the constitutional commission of 1873; again by the Evarts commission in 1877; again by the Fassett committee in 1891; and once again in the convention of 1894. It has found expression in numerous messages and vetoes of successive governors. And this is not to mention the countless recorded pleas and protests that have gone up from the corporate authorities and civic organizations of specific cities all over the state. In the case of New York city such protests have been registered, with a regularity as persistent as it has been futile, since the years preceding the Civil War when Jacob Westervelt, Fernando Wood, and Daniel Tieman were sitting in the chief executive office of the city.
In discussing the problem of home rule at this late day I take it that certain general propositions are so fairly established as to require little if any argument.

Librería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history and evolution of home rule for cities in the United States, with a particular focus on the challenges and opportunities cities face when exercising their powers. The author, Howard Lee McBain, argues that while home rule has been a valuable tool for cities to improve local governance, it has also been limited by the constant threat of interference from state legislatures. McBain traces the development of home rule from its origins in the mid-19th century to the present day, discussing the various constitutional provisions and court decisions that have shaped its scope and application. He also explores the different models of home rule that have been adopted in different states, and the impact of home rule on the relationship between cities and their states. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the history, challenges, and significance of home rule in the United States.
