Excerpt from The Union, the Constitution, and Slavery The struggle in which this nation is engaged has already reached that stage in its progress when words of counsel may be offered, when principles may be discussed, when, if any man can throw light upon the questions at issue, or say or do aught to assuage the bitterness of feeling, and become the in strument of Peace, he is bound not to keep silent. For almost three years, the fierce passions, the mighty energies, the vast resources of the entire country, North and South, have been called into full play at what terrible cost, it is too soon yet to estimate. We do not suppose that the War 1s yet at an end; but we do believe that Reason is beginning to resume her throne. Men are beginning to ask, when is this awful sac rifice of the young best life of the country to cease What are the ends, for which the War is to be protracted P What are the difficulties, in the way of securing those ends In re Sponding to these inquiries, in the present Article, we shall write with entire frankness and while we utter only our own individual convictions, we shall do it in complete independence of all political parties, and, as far as may be, of all sectional prejudices.

Excerpt from The Three Great Compromises of the Constitution: A Thesis The laws forming the basis Of such a union could not, from the circumstances of the case, result from usage, nor could they be statutory, since there was no common legislature in which to enact them. Hence, the constitution defining the form of the government and limiting its powers must be the work Of a convention authorized by the colonies to make such a bodv Of laws, which, when ratified' by the several colonies, should be the supreme law of the land. After several vain attempts to form such a union, the evils of oppression and the dangers of war awakened the country to the pressing need of concerted action, and the Articles of Confederation were adopted as the first step toward a national government. While the nation was engaged in the struggle for its existence, the defects of the Confederation escaped the notice of the people. Although its provisions had in many instances hindered and thwarted the successful prosecution of war. Yet, with all its faults, it was of substantial aid in bringing the war of the Revolution to a successful close.

Excerpt from History of the Union, and of the Constitution Daniel webster declared that The quantity of liberty we possess is precisely equal to the quantity of restraint which we put upon the government. And this is the rule. If the Government is restrained from put ting its hand in certain particulars upon you, to that ex tent you are free, and no more. All liberty, therefore, consists in putting such a restraint upon your govern ment that it cannot touch your rights or your liberties.

Excerpt from A Constitution for the United States of the World Let diplomats brood over the proposed articles of union. Let them weigh a feather against a cobweb, split a hair into tenths, quarrel with commas, put capitals to the sword, give a crutch to every halting word. While this goes on, the great world will think, and grow brotherly in thinking about the same thing. Let the press - true voice of national vanity - spend itself in loud attack, coy retreat, fair compromise or frank acceptance. While each people is thus nursing the wound to its own vanity, it hears groans in the neighboring ward - and the two invalids are quickly convalescent. Let the senate chambers ring with argument, with denuncia tion, with prophecy. Each shall hear the echoes from the other, and in the end only one effective word will rise above the hubbub - the fair word, compromise.

A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice An innovative account of Abraham Lincoln, constitutional thinker and doer Abraham Lincoln is justly revered for his brilliance, compassion, humor, and rededication of the United States to achieving liberty and justice for all. He led the nation into a bloody civil war to uphold the system of government established by the US Constitution—a system he regarded as the “last best hope of mankind.” But how did Lincoln understand the Constitution? In this groundbreaking study, Noah Feldman argues that Lincoln deliberately and recurrently violated the United States’ founding arrangements. When he came to power, it was widely believed that the federal government could not use armed force to prevent a state from seceding. It was also assumed that basic civil liberties could be suspended in a rebellion by Congress but not by the president, and that the federal government had no authority over slavery in states where it existed. As president, Lincoln broke decisively with all these precedents, and effectively rewrote the Constitution’s place in the American system. Before the Civil War, the Constitution was best understood as a compromise pact—a rough and ready deal between states that allowed the Union to form and function. After Lincoln, the Constitution came to be seen as a sacred text—a transcendent statement of the nation’s highest ideals. The Broken Constitution is the first book to tell the story of how Lincoln broke the Constitution in order to remake it. To do so, it offers a riveting narrative of his constitutional choices and how he made them—and places Lincoln in the rich context of thinking of the time, from African American abolitionists to Lincoln’s Republican rivals and Secessionist ideologues.

Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.
