About This Book

This work provides a systematic survey of American governmental organization and practice, tracing constitutional origins from colonial arrangements and the Articles of Confederation to the framing and adoption of the federal Constitution. It analyzes the separation of powers and enumerates federal institutions — Congress and its committee system, presidential powers and succession, the Cabinet and executive departments, and the federal judiciary — then shifts to territorial administration, the admission of states, and the structures of state, local, and city government. Topics include public finance and currency, public lands and land policy, reconstruction, party machinery, national conventions, and administrative agencies.
