Synopsis
Excerpt from Federal Usurpation
In each of the chapters of this book, after the first, I have sought to gather the facts illustrating usurpations of government at some particular period or by some particular department. I am aware that it may be said that the public interest in such facts is temporary rather than permanent and that political parties will uncover these facts. Our political parties to - day are mere politi cal machines living upon the spoils of oflice and giving little heed to great public questions. The leaders of these parties deal in glittering generalities, the one seem ing to favor centralization of power in the National Government and the other espousing the cause of state rights, but it is apparent that they do not widely differ in reality as to details. The very existence of these parties depends upon extending the power of govern ment, multiplying commissions, licenses, offices, and special privileges. Exposure of usurpations will never come from those who profit by usurpations.

About the Author
Franklin Pierce originally used his investigative, legal and accounting backgrounds to research complicated drunk driving laws in order to fully understand his rights and avoid a drunk driving arrest. He soon discovered others were also interested in their rights and consequently expanded his research, resulting in this book.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the US constitution, created after the Civil War, has clauses that allow for the government to erode the rights of individual states. The author provides historical context and details examples of the government overstepping its powers. They examine the long-term consequences of usurpations of power, such as the expansion of federal power at the expense of state autonomy. This expansion began innocently enough during the Civil War era but became more pronounced during the Reconstruction period. It continued in the present day, reaching alarming proportions. The author fears that the unfettered growth of federal power will eventually lead to the destruction of individual liberty and the end of the American republic. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330772003_0
