  • 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. Email: [email protected] 823 824 Party Politics 17(6) ‘Ought we to exclude them? The question lies in my mind thus; either the Anglo Saxon race will possess the Pacific slope or the Mongolians will possess it.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA the Bill of Rights And
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Bill of Rights and Federalism: An Interpretation in Light of the Unwritten Constitution A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Politics School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Joseph S. Devaney Washington, D.C. 2010 The Bill of Rights and Federalism: An Interpretation in Light of the Unwritten Constitution Joseph S. Devaney, Ph.D. Director: Claes G. Ryn, Ph.D. According to conventional understanding, the primary purpose behind the framing and ratification of the Constitution was to preserve liberty through a form of government that provided for a highly structured system of federalism and separation of powers. The primary purpose behind the framing and ratification of the Bill of Rights was to allay Anti-Federalist fears that the Constitution did not sufficiently secure individual rights. For that reason, the original Constitution is frequently contrasted with the Bill of Rights. Yet distinguishing between the Constitution and the Bill of Rights obscures more about the nature of the Bill of Rights than it discloses. It is agreed that one of the primary Anti-Federalist objections to the Constitution was the absence of a bill of rights. A close examination of the debate over the absence of a bill of rights reveals that the first ten amendments to the Constitution occupy a much more complex place in the constitutional scheme than is commonly assumed. While individual rights did constitute an important theme during the ensuing debate concerning the importance of a bill of rights, they were not the only theme or even the prevailing theme.

  • Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution
    Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution ROBERT J. TAYLOR J. HI s YEAR marks tbe 200tb anniversary of tbe Massacbu- setts Constitution, the oldest written organic law still in oper- ation anywhere in the world; and, despite its 113 amendments, its basic structure is largely intact. The constitution of the Commonwealth is, of course, more tban just long-lived. It in- fluenced the efforts at constitution-making of otber states, usu- ally on their second try, and it contributed to tbe shaping of tbe United States Constitution. Tbe Massachusetts experience was important in two major respects. It was decided tbat an organic law should have tbe approval of two-tbirds of tbe state's free male inbabitants twenty-one years old and older; and tbat it sbould be drafted by a convention specially called and chosen for tbat sole purpose. To use the words of a scholar as far back as 1914, Massachusetts gave us 'the fully developed convention.'^ Some of tbe provisions of the resulting constitu- tion were original, but tbe framers borrowed heavily as well. Altbough a number of historians have written at length about this constitution, notably Prof. Samuel Eliot Morison in sev- eral essays, none bas discussed its construction in detail.^ This paper in a slightly different form was read at the annual meeting of the American Antiquarian Society on October IS, 1980.

Brady: Anson Burlingame: Diplomat, Orator FORUM ANSON BURLINGAME: DIPLOMAT, ORATOR Tim Brady Like a previous article titled "Cross-Cultural Underpinnings of the Taiping Rebellion: Potential Modem Applications" (Brady, 1993), this article too is somewhat out of step with the mainstream of information normally presented in JAAER, but in this author's opinion it is an important deviation. 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).

None but a man of grand proportions could have emerged into prominence to stand with them. Webster, Choate, Story, Benjamin R. Curtis, Jeremiah Mason, the Hoars, Dana, Otis, and Caleb Cushing were among them. Of the lives and careers of all of these, full and adequate records have been written. But of him who was first their associate, and later their judge, the greatest legal figure of them all, only meagre accounts survive. It is in the hope of sup plying this deficiency, to some extent, that the following pages are presented. It may be thought that too great space has been given to a description of Shaw's forbears and early surroundings; but it is suggested that much in his character and later life is thus explained.

  • Gen. Charles Devens Commemorative Medal
    GEN. CHARLES DEVENS COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL In celebration of the first Allied Orders National Encampment to be held in Massachusetts in more than three decades, a commemorative medal has been struck and is available for purchase by Allied Orders Members. The medal features one of the Bay State’s most distinguished sons, Brigadier General Charles Devens. Gen. Devens was the fifth Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and the first from Massachusetts. He also served as Commander of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, President of the Society of the Army of the Potomac, and President of the Bunker Hill Memorial Association. General Devens was wounded in battle three times during the Civil War: at Ball’s Bluff, Chickahominy and Chancellorsville, and was brevetted Major General in recognition of his valor in the face of the enemy, at the personal request of General Ulysses S. Grant. He served as Attorney General of the United States under Rutherford B. Hayes and as an Associate Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court. This limited edition, numbered commemorative medals feature a portrait of General Devens and a list of his most noted accomplishments. Proceeds from the sale of the medals will be used to defray the cost of hosting the 2008 National Encampment of the Allied Orders. The General Charles Devens Commemorative Medal will be $20 each, and will be available for purchase at the 2008 National Encampment of the Allied Orders. Because there will be a limited number of medals struck, those wishing
