Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from True Republicanism: Or the Real and Ideal in Politics There is a common misconception that re publicanism and democracy are convertible terms. The difference can best be explained, perhaps, by examples. A late writer on poli tics spoke of Venice and Rome as democracies; but Venice was never a democracy, at least within historical times; and Rome only became a democracy during the ten years while Caesar was in Gaul. Likewise, Holland was a repub lic in the time of Cromwell, but it did not be come a democracy until it was revolutionized by Pichegru. Great Britain is now more dem ocratic in some respects than the United States of America; that is, public opinion acts upon the government there more quickly and f orci bly than it does here. Republicanism is a form, and democracy would seem to be more like a political condition. All that one can say of a government is that it is more or less democratic. Even in Germany there is universal sufi' rage, and the people control the financial budget. Republicanism means that the chief magistrate of a nation is an elective and not a hereditary.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... RATIONAL REPUBLICANISM In the preamble to the Constitution of the United States it says: "We, The People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." This is the grandest sentence ever yet inscribed in America, and perhaps the grandest of the past hundred years. It was the first full and explicit statement of the true object of government by the freely chosen delegates of a whole people; and it is as much in advance of the English "Magna Charta" as the nineteenth century is in advance of the thirteenth. Who was the author of it remains in doubt, but it is likely that a number of great minds were concerned in its composition. It was a general consensus of the best political opinion of the time, and marks an epoch in history like Abelard's teaching of reason and Luther's translation of the Bible. What might have been added to it, but which would not have been suited to the occasion, was, that without governmental oversight progress in civilization would not be possible. So much having been conceded, I think it will be admitted that the true course by which to attain this end, --that is, the best possible government, --should not be an a priori, dogmatic, or empirical method, but by inductive reasoning and the practical adaptation of means to ends. This is the strong point made by Macaulay in his controversy with John Stuart Mill, who has the credit of introducing the inductive principle in logic, but who did not make use of it sufficiently in practice. Macaulay says: "How, ...

Download or read book From Oligarchy to Republicanism written by Forrest A. Nabors and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 4, 1865, members of the 39th United States Congress walked into the Capitol Building to begin their first session after the end of the Civil War. They understood their responsibility to put the nation back on the path established by the American Founding Fathers. The moment when the Republicans in the Reconstruction Congress remade the nation and renewed the law is in a class of rare events. The Civil War should be seen in this light. In From Oligarchy to Republicanism: The Great Task of Reconstruction, Forrest A. Nabors shows that the ultimate goal of the Republican Party, the war, and Reconstruction was the same. This goal was to preserve and advance republicanism as the American founders understood it, against its natural, existential enemy: oligarchy. The principle of natural equality justified American republicanism and required abolition and equal citizenship. Likewise, slavery and discrimination on the basis of color stand on the competing moral foundation of oligarchy, the principle of natural inequality, which requires ranks. The effect of slavery and the division of the nation into two “opposite systems of civilization” are causally linked. Charles Devens, a lawyer who served as a general in the Union Army, and his contemporaries understood that slavery’s existence transformed the character of political society. One of those dramatic effects was the increased power of slaveowners over those who did not have slaves. When the slave state constitutions enumerated slaves in apportioning representation using the federal three-fifths ratio or by other formulae, intra-state sections where slaves were concentrated would receive a substantial grant of political power for slave ownership. In contrast, low slave-owning sections of the state would lose political representation and political influence over the state. This contributed to the non-slaveholders’ loss of political liberty in the slave states and provided a direct means by which the slaveholders acquired and maintained their rule over non-slaveholders. This book presents a shared analysis of the slave South, synthesized from the writings and speeches of the Republicans who served in the Thirty-Eighth, Thirty-Ninth or Fortieth Congress from 1863-1869. The account draws from their writings and speeches dated before, during, and after their service in Congress. Nabors shows how the Republican majority, charged with the responsibility of reconstructing the South, understood the South. Republicans in Congress were generally united around the fundamental problem and goal of Reconstruction. They regarded their work in the same way as they regarded the work of the American founders. Both they and the founders were engaged in regime change, from monarchy in the one case, and from oligarchy in the other, to republicanism. The insurrectionary states’ governments had to be reconstructed at their foundations, from oligarchic to republican. The sharp differences within Congress pertained to how to achieve that higher goal.
