  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

  • The Congressional Budget Process May Be Summarized As Having Three Key Features
    CHAPTER The Congressional 2 Budget Process HE FRAMERS of the Constitution deliberately lodged the power of the purse Tin Congress because it is the branch of government closest to the people. “This power of the purse,” wrote James Madison in Federalist No. 58, “may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.” Or as Senator Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., said more than 200 years after Madison, “The greatest power of the Legislative Branch is the power of the purse.”1 Under Article I of the Constitution, only Congress is empowered to collect taxes, borrowdistribute money, and autho- rize expenditures. And the executive branch can spend money only for the purposes and in the amounts specified byor Congress. As Section 9 of Article I proclaims, “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” The House has the con- stitutional authority to originate revenue measures, which the Senate can amend. If the House believes the Senate has trespassed on its revenue- initiating authority, it will subjectpost, the measure to a “blue-slip” rejection: a notification on blue paper to the Senate that it has contravened the con- stitutional prerogatives of the House. Congress may also “lay and collect” income taxes under the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The Constitution did not prescribe a budget system for the legisla- tive branch.

There were two persons in Boston at the same time bearing the name of William Harvey. One of them lived and died the other removed to there ; subsequently Taunton. Our Col. John Harvey was descended from William Harvey of Boston. " Oscar Jewell Harvey, author of The Harvey Book," of the Taunton Line, Wilkesbarre, Penn., 1899, says: " I think it very clearly proved by the public records herein referred to, and by other records, that there was no William Harvey residing at Plymouth in 1639, and that the two Will- iams ' then in New England,' were (1) William of Taunton, whose wife was Joanna Hucker, and (2) William of Boston, who married Martha Copp." (Page 35.) William Harvey of Taunton married Joanna Hucker of Co- hannet, April 2, 1639, and resided for some years in Boston. From what part of England William Harvey came is not known. We have a clue from the Will of Agnes Clarke of Ayshill, or Ashill, Somerset, three miles west of Ilminster, and 3 4 Ancestry of Col.

Acknowledgments Finishing this step of my academic career would not have been possible without the support from my mentors, family, and friends. My professors at the University of Toledo have supported me over the past three years and I thank them for their inspiration. I especially thank Professors Alfred Cave, Diane Britton, Ronald Lora, and Charles Glaab for reading my work, making corrections, and serving as advisors on my thesis committee. I am eternally grateful to the University of Toledo History Department for their financial and moral support. When I came to the University of Toledo, I would not have survived my first graduate seminar, let alone long enough to finish this project without the experience from my undergraduate career at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. I thank Professors Laura Endicott and John Hayden for their constant support, reading drafts, and offering suggestions and Professors Roger Bromert and David Hertzel for encouraging me via email and on my visits back to Southwestern. Ya’ll are the best. I have a wonderful support system from my family and friends, especially my parents and brother. Thank you Mom and Dad for your encouragement and love.

THE DILEMMA OF THE AMERICAN LAWYER IN THE POST-REVOLUTIONARY ERA Anton-Hermann Chroust* On the eve of the Revolution the legal profession in the American colonies,' in the main, had achieved both distinction and recognition. It had come to enjoy the respect as well as the confidence of the people at large. This is borne out, for instance, by the fact that twenty-five of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence, and thirty-one of the fifty-five members of the Constitutional Convention were lawyers. Of the thirty-one lawyers who attended the Constitutional Convention, no less than five had studied law in England.2 The American Revolution itself, directly and indirectly, affected the legal profession in a variety of ways. First, the profession itself lost a considerable number of its most prominent members; secondly, a bitter antipathy against the lawyer as a class soon made itself felt throughout the country; thirdly, a strong dislike of everything English, including the English common law became wide- spread; and fourthly, the lack of a distinct body of American law as well as the absence of American law reports and law books for a while made the administra- tion of justice extremely difficult and haphazard.
