Synopsis
Excerpt from Some of the Difficulties in the Administration of a Free Government: A Discourse Pronounced Before the Rhode Island Alpha of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, July 8, 1851
Whatever may be the form of a gover,nment its ad ministration must be reflected mainly from the char people who are the subjects of it. Hence it is quite as important that the public mind should be rightly informed up on great general principles, as that there should be the right sort of rulers to apply them. In popular systems,especially - such as our own, for in stancebthere are problems of a disturbing influence constantly arising from the very freedom upon which such systems are founded; and the free discussion of which in a popular form, is indispensable to their prop er appreciation by the masses. Such discussion is par ticularly well for a people, who, in high success, are so engaged in the concrete, as to overlook, ordinarily the abstract of things and who by not habitually consulting principles must be liable to all the evils of a want of them. Such discussion is farther recommended by the fact, that a sound administration of a government, can never be assured by mere events. The right and the wrong of politics strike deeper than the surface of aflairs; and though great prosperity may stand up, from day to day, in commendation of a system of adminis trative policy, there may be hostile influences working underneath, which may upheave all that is worth hav ing, in the foundation on which all rests.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate complexities of wise constitution and administration of government. The author, an esteemed thought leader of their time, draws a distinction between the formulation of principles and their application in ever-changing circumstances. The book emphasizes that the difficulties in governance often lie not in its structure, but in the practical execution of its principles. The author posits that the problems of inequality and power imbalances, the relationship between sovereignty and representation, and the dynamics of political parties are inherent in any free system. However, they contend that understanding these challenges can help mitigate their harmful effects. The book presents a nuanced analysis of the interplay between abstract ideals and the realities of power, offering valuable insights for navigating the complexities of democratic governance.
