    Introduction and Study Guide This is the first edition of Speakers of the House of Representatives 1789 - 2009. With infor- mation that has never before been gathered into one volume, it not only includes detailed biographies of the 53 men and woman who have served as Speaker, but offers a wealth of supportive material that combines for a complete picture of the Speakers and the speaker- ship - the history, the power, and the changes. With detailed content, thoughtful arrangement, and several “user guide” elements, Speakers of the House of Representatives is designed for multiple levels of study. CONTENT Speaker Biographies This major portion of the work - comprises 54 detailed biographies that average 7 pages long. This section is arranged chronologically, beginning with the first Speaker — Frederick Muhlenberg, who began his term in 1789 - and ending with the current Speaker - Nancy Pelosi, who was elected in 2007 as the first female Speaker of the House. Each biography starts off with an image of the Speaker and dates of service, and thoughtfully categorized into logical subsections that guide the reader through the details: Personal History; Early Years in Congress; The Vote; Acceptance Speech; Legacy as Speaker; After Leaving the Speakership. Each biography is strengthened by direct quotations — easily identified in italics — of the Speaker, or influential colleagues of the time. In addition, scattered throughout the bio- graphical section are unique, original graphics - from autographs to personal letters - that not only give the reader an inside look at the Speaker, but also at the times during which he served. Biographies also include Further Reading, and cross references to Primary Docu- ments that appear later in the book.

  • Quaker Petition on Slavery
    Copyright OUP 2013 AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALISM VOLUME I: STRUCTURES OF GOVERNMENT Howard Gillman • Mark A. Graber • Keith E. Whittington Supplementary Material Chapter 4 The Early National Era – Powers of the National Government Quaker Petition on Slavery (1790)1 3 On February 11, 1790, during the second session of the first Congress, Representative Thomas Fitzsimons of Pennsylvania presented to the House an “Address of the people called Quakers,” which urged Congress1 to abolish the slave trade. The Quakers (and allies such as Benjamin Franklin) had petitioned the Continental Congress to abolish the slave trade in 1783, but Congress had failed to respond at that time, in part because it had no meaningful power over the subject. The situation was different under the new Constitution. While Congress0 was expressly forbidden in Article I, section 9 from prohibiting the slave trade before 1808, there were still many questions about whether the federal government had other powers that might be used to regulate or curtail 2the slave trade. A similar petition had been presented to the New York state legislature, but New York put it off, contending that the federal government had exclusive authority over the matter. The Quaker petition triggered extensive debate in the House of Representatives over the federal government’s authority over slavery. The debates are noteworthy for a variety of reasons, not the least of whichP is James Madison’s remark that Congress may have the authority to regulate “the introduction of [slaves] into the new States to be formed out of the Western Territory”—an issue that would be at the core of the Supreme Court’s infamous Dred Scott opinion in 1857.

  • A Navy in the New Republic: Strategic Visions of the U.S
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: A NAVY IN THE NEW REPUBLIC: STRATEGIC VISIONS OF THE U.S. NAVY, 1783-1812 Joseph Payne Slaughter II, Master of Arts, 2006 Directed By: Associate Professor Whitman Ridgway Department of History This study examines the years 1783-1812 in order to identify how the Founders’ strategic visions of an American navy were an extension of the debate over the newly forming identity of the young republic. Naval historiography has both ignored the implications of a republican navy and oversimplified the formation of the navy into a bifurcated debate between Federalists and Republicans or “Navalists” and “Antinavalists.” The Founders’ views were much more complex and formed four competing strategic visions-commerce navy, coastal navy, regional navy, and capital navy. The thematic approach of this study connects strategic visions to the narrative of the reestablishment of the United States Navy within the context of international and domestic events. This approach leaves one with a greater sense that the early national period policymakers were in fact fledgling naval visionaries, nearly one hundred years before the advent of America’s most celebrated naval strategist, Alfred Thayer Mahan.
