About this book
Elihu Root argues in these lectures that Americans have entered a period when the foundations of their government are being questioned again, not only the abuses built on them. His preface says principles in the Federal Constitution of 1787 and in state constitutions are being denied, and the first lecture, Experiments, sets out how life has changed since then, as trade and production ignore state lines and citizenship becomes national. Root, a former Secretary of War and Secretary of State, writes on the assumption that individual liberty and private property should be kept.
