Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of arguments made by the author, Frederick W. Gookin, against the U.S. Imperialist expansion into the Philippines at the turn of the 20th century. Gookin argues that the acquisition of dependent peoples is contrary to the fundamental principle of the Declaration of Independence and the democratic values enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. He critiques the morality of the war effort, the abuse of power by President McKinley, and the legal absurdities arising from the attempt to govern a distant people without representation or consent. Given that the extension of the U.S. empire would necessitate overstepping the nation's founding principles, Gookin insists that the subjugation of the Filipino people represents not only a violation of their liberty but also a threat to American freedoms.
