Excerpt from A d104 Book on Civil Government in the United States If all the laws Of the state are self-imposed, that is, if there is no power outside its body of peo ple which dictates to it in any way, the sovereignty state is said to be sovereign. This word does not admit of comparison: one state cannot be more sovereign than another; and a small state, in this respect, stands on an equality with a large one. The sovereignty of a state consists in the absolute right to control its own members, and in the absolute right to resist any inter ference in its affairs by any other state. The first of these rights constitutes its internal sovereignty; the second, its external sovereignty. From these state ments it will be seen that Boston is not a state, that Massachusetts is not a sovereign state. The United States is a sovereign state or nation. Great Britain and Russia are both sovereign states. Having now defined a state, we are prepared to define civil government as control by law exercised by the state over its members as such.

Excerpt from Elements of Civil Government The plan of this book is that of a gradual development from the known to the unknown, from the near to the distant, from the local to the general, from the concrete to the abstract. The plan is designed, furthermore, to tell only what cannot readily be observed, the purpose being to stimulate observation and inquiry. It is intended that a substantial basis of knowledge shall be gained before general reflections are indulged in. It will be seen, therefore, that the farther we go away from the home of the pupil, the greater the detail of information given him. The questions in the earlier chapters are intended to supply the place of text. The pupil is, accordingly, required by observation and inquiry to build up his own text. The questions in succeeding chapters are more in the nature of questions on the text. The teacher is, of course, expected to enlarge upon these questions indefinitely. It is assumed that the teacher will be progressively more exacting in the answers required of the pupils. The repetition of questions in the book will thus serve as a means both of review and of extending the knowledge of the subject-matter. Thus, on the topics of elections and suffrage, the pupil will get his first rudimentary knowledge from the election of school trustees; this knowledge will be enlarged and reinforced by successively studying the methods and conditions of elections in city, county, State, and nation. Similarly, again, in regard to taxation. These two topics, especially, are regarded as of fundamental importance, and should be insisted upon and developed with the utmost care, patience, and perseverance.

Excerpt from Civil Government in California IT is the purpose of this work to present in brief form something of the theory and practice of civil government in California. The scope of governmental activity widens from year to year, coming nearer and nearer the life of every individual; and, on the other hand, the intelligence of the individual and his general attitude toward public affairs, react more and more upon the government. The influence of the citizen is vital in the selection of public Officials, and in the attitude assumed toward them after they are selected. His power has been tremendously augmented in recent years by the widespread adoption of the direct primary, the initiative, the referendum, and the recall; and his intelligence must keep pace with his political power, or the commonwealth will suffer. The following chapters are intended to place in convenient form the most important features of the information which every responsible citizen should possess if his influence is to count for the common good.

Excerpt from Civil Government of the United States In style the same principle has governed. The earlier chapters may appear too simple, while some teachers may consider the later ones too difficult. I hope, however, that experience will prove that the attempt to lead the pupil along a gentle upward grade has been successful. It has been my experience that a reasonable amount of detail makes a subject more intelligible and realistic to the pupil, and thus enables him to prepare and remember it better. I would urge the importance of requiring the prepara tion of the suggestive questions at the end of the chapter. IT his will lead to independence of thought and judgment.
