  • Wedge-Issue Dynamics and Party Position Shifts: Chinese Exclusion
    Article Party Politics 17(6) 823–847 Wedge-issue dynamics ª The Author(s) 2010 Reprints and permission: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav and party position shifts: DOI: 10.1177/1354068810376184 Chinese exclusion ppq.sagepub.com debates in the post-Reconstruction US Congress, 1879–1882 Jungkun Seo University of North Carolina, Wilmington, USA Abstract Even when the stakes of party-building are high, political parties often find their members divided over a key policy position. In post-Reconstruction America, the hot-button issue of excluding Chinese immigrant workers strengthened Democratic cohesion while splitting the ‘party of Lincoln’. Previous research has not completely investigated the role of party competition and cohesiveness in paving the way for passage of the Chinese exclusion laws. In this investigation of the legislative politics of banning the Chinese from 1879 to 1882, it is found that cross-pressured members sometimes facilitate party transformation. The evidence demonstrates that partisan responses to potential wedge issues are a previously unnoticed source of explanation of eventual party position changes. Keywords Chinese exclusion laws, party position change, rank-and-file members, wedge issue Paper submitted 4 June 2009; accepted for publication 15 September 2009 Corresponding author: Jungkun Seo, Department of Public and International Affairs, University of North Carolina, Wilmington, NC 28403, USA.

Why? Because it looks into the essential character of an important civilization that we know very little about, the Chinese, and it provides a glimpse of what happened in the past when our two cultures came into significant contact. The relevance of this paper to aviation is that it posts warning signs as to what can happen if we are not properly prepared to deal with that great civilization on terms that are mutually beneficial. As reported in Aviation Week and Space Technology, China is expected to have the highest growth in air traffic of all Asian countries in the firsthalf of the next decade (Mecham, 1993).

  • Toward a History of the American Rule on Attorney Fee Recovery
    TOWARD A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN RULE ON ATTORNEY FEE RECOVERY JOHN LEUBSDORF* I INTRODUCTION In a sense, the American rule has no history. As far back as one can trace, courts in this country have allowed winning litigants to recover their litigation costs from losers only to the extent prescribed by the legislature.I But closer exam- ination reveals that the justification of this rule and its significance in the economy of litigation have varied over the years. Indeed, there may be too much history to handle: the path leads to the study of aspects of procedure, remedies, and profes- sional responsibility which interact with fee rules, and beyond that into the uncharted finances of the American bar. This terrain is also obscured by the pecu- liar reluctance of the bench and bar either to justify or to change a law of costs which required successful litigants to bear most of the expense of vindicating themselves. This article will sketch the history of attorney fee recovery in the United States. During the late colonial period, legislation provided for fee recovery as an aspect of comprehensive attorney fee regulation. But this regulatory scheme did not long survive the Revolution. During the first half of the nineteenth century, lawyers freed themselves from fee regulation and gained the right to charge clients what the market would bear. As a result, the right to recover attorney fees from ..n opposing party became an unimportant vestige. This triumph of fee contracts between lawyer and client as the financial basis of litigation prepared the way for legislators and judges to proclaim the principle that one party should not be liable for an opponent's legal expenses.

  • The Life and Works of Rufus Choate.1
    AMERICAN LAW REGISTER, APRIL, 1863. THE LIFE AND WORKS OF RUFUS CHOATE.1 We have approached this subject with the most unaffected diffidence and distrust. It is no holiday task to set forth, in a manner befitting the subject, the leading incidents and character- istics of the life, and labors, of such a man as Rurus OnoATE. But we did not feel at liberty to pass by so important an in.cident in the history of forensic life, in America, as the publication of the life of such a man, without bearing a brief testimony in its behalf. At a time when mediocrity is so generally in the ascendant; when mightier armies than ever Wellington or Napoleon commanded, are, of necessity, committed to the guidance of men who never built a rampart nor set a squadron in the field; when the cabinet and the council, from the commander-in-chief to his humblest subaltern, must read as they run, or run as they read, laboring to learn their lessons as they practise them: when all is change and uncertainty on the one band'; and presumption and arrogance, on I The Works of Rufus Choate, 'with a Mfemoir of his Life. fly Samuel Gilman Brown, Professor in Dartmouth College.

Possibly we may have some member of the legisla- ture who might abolish all taxes in the years to come and then some future poet in singing his praises may write: "He took the tax away And built for himself an everlasting name." But until Colorado appoints this poet laureate let us resign ourselves to the adage that two things are certain, Death and Taxes. THE LAYMAN'S VIEW OF A LAWYER The chief function of a lawyer is to predict for his client what the court will or would do under given circumstances. Every lawyer knows this; or, if he gives a little thought to the point, will acknowledge it, but the layman views the matter otherwise. Use to him the term "great lawyer" and he sees Rufus Choate before a jury, or Daniel Webster before the Supreme Court of the United States. The picture which he does not see is that before such appearances each of these great men has been consulted and has given his opinion as to what the result will be, is likely to be, or ought to be under the facts as they are detailed to him.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

Farrell University of New Hampshire The broad and profound influence of classical rhetoric in early America can be observed in both the academic study of that ancient discipline, and in the practical approaches to persuasion adopted by orators and writers in the colonial period, and during the early republic. Classical theoretical treatises on rhetoric enjoyed wide authority both in college curricula and in popular treatments of the art. Classical orators were imitated as models of republican virtue and oratorical style. Indeed, virtually every dimension of the political life of early America bears the imprint of a classical conception of public discourse.
