The state constitution declares: To perpetuate the principles of free government, insure justice to all, pre- serve peace, promote the interest and happiness of the citizens and of the family, and transmit to posterity the enjoyment of liberty, we the people of Georgia, relying upon the protection and guidance of Almighty God, do ordain and establish this Constitution. Georgia’s constitution states, “All government, of right, originates with the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted for the good of the whole. Public officers are the trustees and ser- vants of the people and are at all times amenable to them.” In other words, any power the government has is given to it by the citizens and is for the good of everyone. Persons elected to public office in state government work for the people and are accountable to the voters for their actions. The constitution further states: “The people of this state have the inherent right of regulating their internal government. Gov- ernment is instituted for the protection, security and benefit of the people; and at all times they have the right to alter or reform the same whenever the public good may require it.” Therefore, Georgia’s government is meant to serve the people, and the constitution al- lows the people to change the government when it fails to serve their needs. The constitution gives voters the right to control state govern- ment by electing state officials.

Georgia’s governor also has many informal powers. Some are the result of tradition and custom; others are necessary to enforce the formal powers. ? Sometimes, the governor’s informal powers may seem more important than the formal powers. But a governor’s greatest influence is through his or her power to appoint individuals to boards and executive offices. For example, Governor Joe Frank Harris, who served from 1983 to 1990, appointed all fif- teen members of the Board of Regents (the board that controls the Univer- sity System of Georgia and all public colleges and universities). He named 532 Chapter 15: Government of the Empire State all ten members of the state Board of Education (the board that controls public elementary and secondary schools of the state). He also named a State Su- perintendent of Schools to complete an unexpired term. In addition, he appointed a panel of business leaders, legislators, and citi- zens to write a legislative package called Quality Basic Education (QBE). When this package became law in 1985, it af- fected all public school students in Georgia. For example, an eighth-grade Figure 62 student in Ocilla has the same study Informal Powers of the Governor objectives as an eighth-grade student in Columbus.

  • This Series Is Hosted by a Young Harris Alumnus, Bob Short, Class of 1951
    Zell Miller interviewed by Bob Short 2006 October 24 Young Harris, GA Reflections on Georgia Politics ROGP-000-03 Original: video, 104 minutes sponsored by: Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies University of Georgia Libraries and Young Harris College MODERATOR: This series is hosted by a Young Harris alumnus, Bob Short, class of 1951. Today’s guest is certainly no stranger to this campus or this community. Senator Zell Miller is living proof that you can go anywhere from Young Harris College. But with all the places that he’s gone, he has never really left this institution. He remains a part of it; he remains the heart and soul of it. And it is always a pleasure and an honor to welcome him back home. I would like to tell you that at the end of the program, if you would like to purchase any of Senator Miller’s books, they’re available at the campus bookstore across the plaza. The forum this afternoon will feature approximately an hour of Mr. Short conversing with Senator Miller and asking questions. There will be time for questions and answers from the audience at the end of this portion, so please, if you have questions, hold them until then. Finally, I would like to invite you all back to the Thursday, November 2nd conversation with former Governor Joe Frank Harris, and the Thursday, November 16th conversation with former Governor Roy Barnes. Both sessions will be held in the Wilson Lecture Hall in the Goolsby Center, and both will start at 3:15 pm.

Ph.D. in Political Science awarded April, 2000 Dissertation The Onset and Escalation of Regime Claims in the Western Hemisphere, 1816-1992 Chair: Will H. Moore In my dissertation, I analyze the motivations behind a country's decision to call for the removal of another state's government, a serious challenge to state sovereignty and non-intervention principles. I construct a model explaining the initiation and escalation of these “regime claims” in the Americas. I find that states are motivated by two factors: (1) threats to an otherwise acceptable status quo, and (2) the opportunity to improve an unacceptable set of bilateral relations. Additionally, countries calculate the probability that they can oust another leader with a claim or militariZed action. I use logistic regression techniques to test a series of hypotheses derived from this theoretical model, finding that threats and opportunities drive claim initiation, but evaluations of the probability for success determine whether countries militariZe such claims.

  • Georgia's Governor's Mansion
    THE GEORGIA GOVERNOR’S MANSION: A BUCKHEAD LANDMARK By W. Wright Mitchell If you have ever given directions to a location on West Paces Ferry Road, chances are it went something like this, “Well, you pass the Governor’s Mansion and . .” The Governor’s Mansion is a Buckhead landmark, but few people seem to know that it also houses one of the nation’s finest collections of Federalist Period Antiques. Or that the library contains numerous first edition books written by Georgia authors, including a signed copy of Gone with the Wind. Since the Georgia capital moved to Atlanta from Milledgeville in 1868, Georgia’s governors have resided in three “official” residences. The first residence was located downtown at the corner of present day Peachtree and Cain streets. Over time, however, the building deteriorated and was eventually demolished in 1923 to make room for the Henry Grady Hotel. The Westin Peachtree Plaza now stands on the former location of this residence. In 1925, the state purchased the home of Edwin P. Ansley on The Prado in Ansley Park to be used as a Governor’s residence. The Prado Mansion was never particularly popular, however, and was described by two different legislatures as a “cold, gray, austere, medieval structure.” Therefore, in 1961 the state established an eleven member committee, led by Secretary of State Ben Fortson, Jr., to examine the need for a new mansion. In 1962, the General Assembly extended the life of Fortson’s committee and created the State Office Building Authority, which was vested with authority to build the 754992.1 new mansion.
