By Peter Hardeman Burnett

Book Overview

The American Theory of Government: Considered with Reference to the Present Crisis is a book written by Peter Hardeman Burnett in 1861. The book explores the American system of government and its relevance to the current political crisis of that time. Burnett analyzes the fundamental principles of the American Constitution, including the separation of powers, federalism, and the role of the judiciary. He also discusses the historical context of the crisis, which was the secession of several southern states from the Union. Burnett argues that the American system of government is based on the principles of liberty, equality, and democracy, and that these principles should guide the nation through the crisis. He also emphasizes the importance of upholding the rule of law and the Constitution, and warns against the dangers of tyranny and dictatorship. The American Theory of Government is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the political debates and challenges of the Civil War era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
