Synopsis
Excerpt from The Connecticut Constitution
At a time when much is said about the defects of our system of government, and the corrupt tendency so manifest in municipal, state, and national affairs is raising doubts as to the future of Republics, this work, which may be called a study in popular government, as affected by the exigencies of modern politics, is undertaken in the hope that it may tend to strengthen the faith of those who believe in government by the people, and that the people themselves can be depended upon to work for right and justice, whenever they fully understand and appreciate the situation.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the political landscape of Connecticut, focusing on the state's system of government and its evolution over time. Through a historical lens, the author examines the origins of the state's constitution, tracing its development from the early 1600s to the late 1800s, comparing it to the American federal constitution. The core of the book examines the contentious issue of unequal representation in the legislature, where smaller towns enjoy a disproportionate amount of power compared to more populous areas. This disparity, the author argues, undermines the principles of democracy and fair representation, raising important questions about the nature of self-government. The author delves into the historical and constitutional arguments surrounding unequal representation, highlighting how this issue has divided political parties and sparked debate for generations. The book also examines the historical and current implications of plurality versus majority voting in gubernatorial elections, showcasing how Connecticut's unique system can lead to a lack of representation for the will of the majority. By revealing the shortcomings of Connecticut's political system, the author compels readers to reflect on the delicate balance between fairness and historical legacy in a changing society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
