Excerpt from Studies in Civil Government It is too true, that while we, as a nation, are constantly re ferring to Constitutional rights and Obligations, not one young man In a thousand examines the text Of the Constitution, but expects the knowledge needed in the exciting events Of our political life as a people will come without study and without reflection: The times in which we are living will make all see the necessity for the study Of the Constitution In our pub lic schools, if we would rightly educate the young in the essen tial principles Of our national government. The maintenance Of these principles by an honest, intelligent discharge Of the duties arising from an almost universal right Of suffrage by the people can be best preserved only through universality Of correct Opinions respecting the fundamental Law and the institutions existing by its authority. In this new and enlarged edition such additions have been made as the Amendments to the Constitution and the Decisions of the Courts render necessary. The author acknowledges his Obli gations to the Judges Of the Supreme Court Of Illinois for suggestions and additions, which are included in this edition. The Constitution Of Illinois, Of 1870, is inserted after the Manual on the Constitution Of the United States.

Excerpt from Studies in Civil Government No argument would seem to be necessary to prove the importance to the citizens of the United States of an accurate knowledge of the theory and practical character of the Federal Constitution. Either directly or indirectly they participate in the administration of the government which that Constitution has instituted, and surely they should be well grounded in the principles upon which it is founded. It has been the endeavor of the author in the following pages to supply a convenient manual of instruction to the youth of our country; to make clear and intelligible to the unprofessional reader the fundamental law of our Federative system of government; and at the same time to produce a work which might also be useful to the bar. In preparing it, he has sought to set forth the reasons upon which each clause of the Constitution rests, as well as the interpretation that has been given to it by the authoritative exposition of the courts, (and so far as the practicable, in the precise language of the courts), or by the well-established practice of the government.
