This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr COULD AND SHOULD AMERICA HAVE MADE AN OTTOMAN REPUBLIC IN 1919? PAUL D. CARRINGTON* Generations of American school children have memorized the words of Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. Its evangelical spirit was echoed in Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and scores of other presidential addresses. Partly on that account, numerous Americans, perhaps especially American lawyers, have since the 1780s presumed to tell other peoples how to govern themselves. In 2006, that persistent impulse was echoed once again in an address to the American Bar Association by a Justice of the United States Supreme Court.' The purpose of this Essay is to question the wisdom of this evangelical ambition. Sometimes cited as examples of successful political evangelism are the constitution of Japan and the Basic Law of Germany.2 Both of those constitutions were for numerous reasons congenial to the existing local cultures and traditions.3 The 2003 invasion of Iraq was in important respects a product of the notion that orderly democratic government can be imposed almost anywhere, an idea that seems to have had special appeal to the * Professor of Law, Duke University.

  • The Response to Harrison's Administration in the Philippines, 1913-1921
    THE RESPONSE TO HARRISON'S ADMINISTRATION IN THE PHILIPPINES, 1913-1921 NAPOLEON J. CASAMBRE WHEN FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON CAME TO THE PHILIPPINES IN 1913 to serve as the first governor-general under the Democratic Party adminis- tration in the United States, he was fully aware of the faot that his steward- ship would not altogether be a very pleasant experience. The storm of cri- ticisms generated by his appointment gave him some idea of the obstacles and difficulties that he would encounter during his incumbency. Also, while still in Washington, D.C., he was warned that if he would not administer the affairs of the country in a manner agreeable to the interests of certain local groups, "matters would go hard" with him.1 He ignored the threat, however, and governed the territory ac.cording to his own convictions and the dictates from Washington, D.C. At; might be expected, his policies were severely criticized. The foremost target of criticism was the rapid Filipinization of the civil service. Critics alleged that the policy brought many Americans in the Philippines to the verge of destitution, and also that it led to administrative inefficiency in the government.2 Despite opposition, Governor Harrison pro- ceeded to carry out the policy in all levels of the government. As a result the "colonial government of Americans aided by Filipinos" was transformed into a "government of Filipinos aided by Americans." 8 The policy of fiscal retrenchment was also criticized. Although Gov- ernor Harrison believed that it was necessary for the sake of economy,4 his critics contended that it was too and unnecessary.5 They opposed particularly the various measures that would implement the policy, such as the reduction of salaries of government officials and employees, the aboli- tion of some government positiona; the temporary stoppage of public works, and the imposition of new and increased taxes.
