Liberty and Law: Or Outlines of a New System for the Organization and Administration of Federal Government is a book written by Britton Armstrong Hill in 1880. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the American federal government and provides a new system for its organization and administration. Hill argues that the existing system is flawed and that a new system is needed to ensure the preservation of liberty and the rule of law.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the federal government. Hill begins by examining the nature of government and its role in society. He then discusses the Constitution, the separation of powers, and the need for a strong executive branch. He also explores the relationship between the federal government and the states, arguing that the federal government should have more power to regulate interstate commerce.Hill's proposed system includes a unicameral legislature, a strong executive branch, and an independent judiciary. He also advocates for the use of referendums and initiatives to give citizens a greater voice in government. Throughout the book, Hill emphasizes the importance of individual liberty and the need to protect it from government encroachment.Overall, Liberty and Law is a thought-provoking analysis of the American federal government and a call for reform. Hill's ideas continue to be relevant today, and the book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in American government and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
