The Democracy Of The Constitution: And Other Addresses And Essays (1915)

The Democracy of the Constitution: And Other Addresses and Essays is a collection of speeches and essays written by Henry Cabot Lodge and published in 1915. In this work, Lodge defends the American Constitution as a democratic document, arguing that it is a product of the people and their desire for self-government. He also discusses the role of the judiciary in interpreting the Constitution and the importance of preserving the separation of powers. Other topics addressed in the book include the Monroe Doctrine, American foreign policy, and the role of the United States in world affairs. Lodge's writing is characterized by a strong sense of patriotism and a belief in American exceptionalism. The Democracy of the Constitution remains an important work in the history of American political thought and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the principles that underlie the US Constitution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
