  • Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law
    Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law Katherine Elizabeth Brown Amherst, New York Master of Arts in American History, University of Virginia, 2012 Master of Arts in American History, University at Buffalo, 2010 Bachelor of Science in Applied Economics and Management, Cornell University, 2004 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia May, 2015 This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of Matthew and Theresa Mytnik, my Rana and Boppa. i ABSTRACT ―Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law,‖ is the first comprehensive, scholarly analysis of Alexander Hamilton‘s influence on American jurisprudence, and it provides a new approach to our understanding of the growth of federal judicial and executive power in the new republic. By exploring Hamilton's policy objectives through the lens of the law, my dissertation argues that Hamilton should be understood and evaluated as a foundational lawmaker in the early republic. He used his preferred legal toolbox, the corpus of the English common law, to make lasting legal arguments about the nature of judicial and executive power in republican governments, the boundaries of national versus state power, and the durability of individual rights. Not only did Hamilton combine American and inherited English principles to accomplish and legitimate his statecraft, but, in doing so, Hamilton had a profound influence on the substance of American law,

    CHRONOLOGY AND ANCESTRY OF CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW WITH FIFTY-FOUR OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES OF NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND NEW ENGLAND AN APPENDIX ON THE HEGEMAN ANCESTRY WITH TWENTY-FIVE OTHER AFFILIATED FAMILIES COMPILED BY WILLIAM A. EARDELEY, M.A. NEW YORK 1918 C.0PYJUGHT. 1918 BY CHAUNCEY M.• DEPEW i-'O"l.CHAUNC!::Y M.D!::PE:W .:.- - .... :: AGE: o::- 63 PREFACE THE desire of an individual to trace his or her ancestry and to per­ petuate, in print, the salient facts in the lives of these same ancestors, is commendable to the last degree. Hence this book of Records with the main authorities for the facts herein contained. The 1907 Ogden Family Genealogy says "There is something peculiarly gratifying to the average American citizen to be able to trace his lineage to the primal days of colonial life, and especially to a worthy, virtuous and honored ancestor . the undying satisfaction in the knowledge that one is heir to strong and enduring ancestral character: in the fact of being able to point back to him who first came to the New World. There is much fascination in the tracing back of ancestral lines, in spite of the many discouragements and the tediousness of the work." The realization that one's ancestors were patriotic citizens. who fought for the independence of this Great American Republic, should be a strong incentive for the descendants to emulate such sterling deeds. The mingling of the blood of the fine French Huguenot Families of Depew and See; of the Dutch Families of Cranckheyt and Siboutsen and Van Lent and Wiltsie and Van Boerum and Storm and Van Wert; of the English Families of Mitchell and Minot and Sherman and Prescott and Ogden and Root and Curtiss and Wellington and Winship and Wilder and Willard; with the touch of the Irish in the Johnston Family-has given us one of our grandest men in the person of the Honorable Chauncey Mitchell Depew.

In the spring of 1964 be died, leaving an incomplete draft; completion necessitated research, correction, and re-writing almost entirely, to the point where it became an entirly new paper, and the manuscript was ready for printing when the first olumev of Professor Goebel's, The Law Practice of Alexander Hamilton (1964), appeared. At pages 775-SO6 Goebel gives the background of the Croswell case and, because of many details and references there appearing, the present article has been slimmed down considerably. However, the point of view adopted by Goebel is to give the background so that Hamilton's participation and argument can be understood. The purpose of the present article is to disclose the place occupied by this case (and its participants) in the stream of American libertarian principles, and ezpzdally those legal concepts which prevented freedom of the press from becoming an everyday actuality until the legislatures changed the common law.

Yet, Dunlap's page I contained most of our knowledge concerning Ramage until the discovery, a few years ago, of a number of letters, documents and other data concerning Ramage, including his work desk, still in the possession of a descendant.

  • CHAPTER IV. the Second Constitution, 1821
    CHAPTER IV. The Second Constitution, 1821. The evolution of our Constitution has brought it to a condition where amendments are comparatively easy. The rule requiring a vote by the people once every twenty years, or oftener, as the legislature may provide, to de­ termine whether a convention shall be called to revise the Constitution, affords frequent opportunities for con­ sidering the Constitution as a whole; while, by another provision, the legislature may, at any time, submit to the people specific propositions for amendment, without con­ sidering the whole instrument. This provision furnishes an easy method of altering the Constitution to meet new conditions; indeed, the method is rather too easy, for it affords opportunity for frequent attempted changes in the fundamental law; and if the Constitution, for any reason, happens to be unsatisfactory to a given class of people, and they find that they cannot do all that they think they wish to do, under the existing Constitution, they immediately seek to amend it, as if it were a statute, not possessing permanent character. The ease with which we may now propose amendments is in marked contrast to the difficulties surrounding the subject of constitutional changes during the first forty-five years of our history. It has already been noted that the first Constitution contained no provision for its own amendment. The legislature could not, as it may now do, submit to the people propositions for specific amendments, nor could [613] Digitized by the New York State Library from the Library's collections. 6i4 Constitutional History of New York. it direct that a convention be held to consider amend­ ments, or a general revision.
