Nearly a decade after the 2000 Presidential elections invited a firestorm of questions about the sanctity of our democratic process, there continues to be a heightened interest in the role of state-wide elections officials, typically the state's Secretary of State - this book looks into their pivotal role in the promotion of a healthy democracy. Much past interest has resulted in overly critical coverage of election errors, ignoring the tireless efforts that ensure the American citizens benefit from a democratic, inclusive and accountable election process. Through a series of case studies, anecdotes, and interviews with current and recent secretaries, State Secretaries of State author Jocelyn Benson readdresses this balance by providing the first in-depth study of the Secretary's role in registering voters, enforcing voting laws and regulations, overseeing elections, and certifying results. As such, it represents a much-needed contribution to the study of US elections, both in practice and in law.
This is a 1956 study of the Secretaries of State in Restoration England.
As a study of personalities, this volume does not purport to be a detailed history of American diplomacy since 1898. But since the Secretaries of State...cannot escape some responsibility for national decisions in the realm of foreign affairs, there is little of major significance in the American diplomatic record itself which is not present in the successive essays of this book.
