Removed. First edition. 8 pp. 8vo. An important case about states' rights. Turney, who came in second in an election to Congress, argues that the states set the rules for who can run for office and that the state constitution of Illinois prohibited former judges from running for office for a period of one year after their term expired and that Marshall should have been disqualified from being seated by the Congress because he had been a judge in the 12th district and ran for office during the exclusion period. Turney states: "The constitution of the United States provides that "each house shall be the judge of the election, returns, and qualifications of its own members." In so judging, and before you can rightfully decide, your honorable body must regard the constitutions and laws of the States sending contestants; for members of Congress are elected under and in persuance of State constitutions' and laws! And there is no provision in the constitution of the United States, and no law of Congress, prohibiting the people of each State from declaring, by constitutional provision, who shall, and who shall not be legal voters! The right of suffrage is exclusively under the control of the lawmaking power of the different States; and the people of Illinois did not transcend their power in providing that all votes cast for a certain class of citizens, within her limits, should be void.If either house of Congress has the right to disregard a plain, wholesome, and necessary provision of the constitution of a sovereign State, regulating and defining the elective franchise within that sovereignty, then, indeed, the States are but creatures of the general government, and the federal government, instead of being a government of delegated, defined, and limited powers, becomes a great central political monster, uncontroled and uncontrolable by the weaker reserved powers of the States." The House wisely turned down Turney's request and seated Marshall. The appendix includes "An act to establish the twelfth district court." Leander Jay Sharpe Turney (1819-1881) was later the acting Governor of the Washington Territory for 1861-1862. OCLC locates only a copy, at Harvard Law (OCLC: 78246617).…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Armageddon is just another meme. The end of the world sells gold-clad coins, nutritional panaceas, web site traffic, and probably shampoo and body spray. But in our consumer bubbles, we may no longer have the capacity for distinguishing between fake and real dangers. It is the premise of this book that very real threats to a decent way of life even for the entitled first world, and the survival of everyone else, including a vast amount of animals and plants, exist, and are being minimized and trivialized by a system that has been exploiting us for centuries. Those socioeconomic and political depredations, whatever new sexy forms they take, are helping to destroy us just as much as are the environmental disasters they seek to exploit and cover up.But this is one area where personal involvement can make a difference, if only psychologically. In old-style terms, maybe you can even save your soul, in a world that tells you you have no soul, all the better to wipe out that which might give us our souls: the natural world, the only source for whatever gods may be.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - As much as we suffer from collective amnesia, believing the present moment is the worst of times or the best of times, the intense anxiety many people are feeling has been around for quite a while. This anxiety was perhaps sharper among some than others, but now seems ubiquitous, reflected in areas as diverse as economic fears, nuclear proliferation, presidential tweets, even mistaken Oscar announcements.This is not just about politics or even economics, but the culture and mass psychology of an entire people. That is why solutions, if they come at all, are not going to be easy. This author does not believe in offering platitudes or fairy stories, but in looking honestly at what confronts us, as responsible adults and not just consumers of junk optimism.…
