With a New introduction and notes ("Noah Webster: Proposing and Promoting Stronger National Union Through the Power of the English Language") by John R. Vile, Professor and Chair, Political Science Department, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN. ISBN 9781584778561. Hardcover. New. $39.95 * Remembered today as a lexicographer, Webster [1758-1843] was equally active as a political writer. As is the case with his dictionary and grammar textbooks, his political essays are strongly patriotic and embody a confidence that the United States would soon become a great nation. He composed Sketches of American Policy at a time when the nationally minded segments of the political class were beginning to pursue plans to create a strong federal government to replace the Confederation Congress. Seeing this as a necessary step to ensure the nation's progress, Webster endorsed this cause and wrote this pamphlet to promote it. During his tours throughout the states he presented to several people who would become delegates to the Constitutional Convention, including George Washington, James Madison and Benjamin Franklin. It circulated widely among the delegates and was an important influence in their debates. Interesting for this reason, it is also valuable as a contemporary critique of the Articles of Confederation by a gifted scholar who associated with the leading statesmen of the day.

Our Weakened Constitution: An Historical and Analytical Study of the Constitution of the United State [sic] and of the Additions to the Original Text Undertaken to Place the Facts before the American People, and to Emphasize t…he Present Necessity for a Movement in Behalf of an Unviolated Constitution, State Integrity and the Rights and Immunities Established by the Founders of this Republic. Originally published: New York: Dauber & Pine Bookshops, 1932. [ii], (III-XXVII new Introduction), vii, 321 pp. Reprinted 2016 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. With a new introduction by John R. Vile, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN. ISBN-13: 9781616195304. ISBN-10: 1616195304. Hardcover. New. $59.95 * Written in 1932, this book offers a liberal interpretation of a "living Constitution" and argues for the types of limits on the United States Constitution being considered today. Thomas: - interprets the 2nd amendment as a state rather than a federal issue - examines the question of substantive limits on the content of constitutional amendments - advances the novel idea that the Bill of Rights was only designed to limit the national government and not the states - proclaims the unconstitutionality of the 18th amendment which prohibited alcohol - questions equal state suffrage in the U.S. Senate, the extensive powers of the president, the four-year presidential election cycle, "the composition and tenure of the Federal Judiciary" and the authority of the U.S. Supreme Court. Samuel Bell Thomas [1869-1943] practiced law in New York. He graduated from the University of Texas and received his law degree from Southwestern University. He lost his bid for Congress as a New York Independence League candidate in 1910.

Fourth Edition, Revised and Enlarged. Originally published: Chicago: Callaghan and Company, 1887. XXI (V-XXI new Introduction), xxix, 684 pp. Reprinted 2013 by The Lawbook… Exchange, Ltd. With a new introduction by John R. Vile, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN. ISBN-13: 9781616193515; ISBN-10: 1616193514. Hardcover. New. $59.95 * This treatise served as a practical guidebook for states seeking to institute constitutional conventions, and it remains relevant today. Based on a study on 192 American constitutional conventions, Jameson analyzes the nature and sources of constitutions and shows how they are produced. Some arise from a "spontaneous convention." Others are the result of a "legislative convention," "revolutionary convention" or "constitutional convention." "Jameson's work remains a legal landmark, notably not simply as the first treatise in this area but also for its continuing insights into issues of constitutional change at both the state and national levels. Although it no longer occupies the field it once did, Jameson's treatise remains the single most comprehensive work on the subject and a fertile source of insights and ideas." --John R. Vile, V-VI JOHN ALEXANDER JAMESON (1824-1890) attended Harvard Law School in 1852. He served as a Judge of the Superior Court of Chicago from 1865-1883, during which time he issued over 100 opinions, some of which were regarded as landmarks of family law and church governance. Jameson was one of the founders of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. An abolitionist, he was a founder of the Republican Party.

Elementary Catechism on the Constitution of the United States. For the Use of Schools. Originally published: Boston: Hilliard, Gray, Little, and Wilkins, 1831. XX (V-XX new Introduction), [5]-78 pp. R…eprinted 2013 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. With a new introduction by John R. Vile, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN. ISBN-13: 9781616193522. ISBN-10: 1616193522. Hardcover. New. $65. * Recognition of the U.S. Constitution's importance increased dramatically in 1826 due to the deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the election of President Andrew Jackson and the jubilee celebration of the Declaration of Independence. At this time, a period when public schools were increasing in number, educators responded with coursework that promoted the virtues of the Constitution to the nation's youth. Arthur J. Stansbury, a Presbyterian minister known for his political speeches, wrote one of the most popular textbooks used in the schools. Cast in the form of questions and answers in a chronological explanation of the Constitution, his "catechism" endowed patriotism with moral virtues in his depiction of the nation's "highly favored" birth-right. "It is a tribute to Stansbury, and to the document that he explicated, that so many subsequent scholars have followed the pedagogical path that he blazed." --JOHN R. VILE, XIX-XX ARTHUR J. STANSBURY [1781-1865], a New York Presbyterian minister, often preached on political topics and was known for the patriotic fervor to his addresses. His other publications were addresses and sermons, reports of debates in Congress and trial records of judges and clergymen. He also illustrated children's books, including The Children's Friend (1821), a book about Christmas that included an early depiction of Santa Claus.
