  • A History of the Lieutenant Governor's Office S209
    A History of A History of The Office of the Adjutant, Quartermaster, The Lieutenantand Inspector Governor’s Generals Office S209 S105 The Lieutenant Governor The modern office of the Lieutenant Governor is rare in that it is still used by the office holder for which it was originally designed. Architect Elijah E. Myers located the suite on the second floor to the immediate south of the Senate Chamber, as the Lieutenant Gover- nor has always served as a presiding officer of the Michigan Senate. The Capitol’s original floor plans indicate that the office originally consisted of only two rooms: an office (now S209) and a small adjoining washroom and water closet (now S209B). The Secretary of the Senate worked next door. Interestingly, Myers’s floor plans also assigned the Lieutenant Governor a small apartment located on the basement (or ground) floor in the west wing where he could stay during legislative sessions. This unique suite, the only one of its kind proposed for the Capitol, was to contain a dining room, a kitchen, and two bedrooms. Ultimately this scheme was scrapped, and the space used as storerooms and offices. The first Lieutenant Governor to work in the present Capitol was Mr. Alonzo Sessions, a native New Yorker who came to Michigan in 1833 to acquire land. Two years later he began farming in Ionia County, where he eventually held several local offices and positions including Justice of the Peace, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, Ionia County Sheriff, and President of the First National Bank of Ionia. In 1856 Michigan’s present Capitol, the state’s third, opened on January 1, 1879, to great acclaim.

The senate consists of 38 members who are elected by the qualified electors of districts that range in size from approximately 248,600 to 274,600 residents (under a redistricting plan enacted in 2001). Senators are elected at the same time as the governor and serve 4-year terms concurrent with the governor’s term of office. The house of representatives consists of 110 members who are elected by the qualified electors of districts that range in size from approximately 77,000 to 91,000 residents (under a redistricting plan enacted in 2011). Representatives are elected in even-numbered years to 2-year terms. Legislative districts are drawn on the basis of popu lation figures obtained through the federal decennial census. Terms for senators and representatives begin on January 1, following the November general election. Effective with terms of office beginning on or after January 1, 1993, state legislators (as well as the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and attorney general) are subject to term limitations. State senators may not be elected more than 2 times and state representatives may not be elected more than 3 times. (Partial terms that are less than half of a full term are not counted as one of these terms.) The state legislature enacts the laws of Michigan; levies taxes and appropriates funds from money collected for the support of public institutions and the administration of the affairs of state government; proposes amendments to the state constitution, which must be approved by a majority vote of the electors; and considers legislation proposed by initiatory petitions.

  • A History of Public Health from Ancient to Modern Times
    Health, Civilization and the State Changes in attitudes towards the provision of health care and the revolution in the structure of the bodies supplying it have been as frequent as changes in medical practice. Health, Civilization and the State examines the problems of public health provision in a historical perspective. It outlines the development of public health in a global context, from the ancient world through the medieval and early- modern periods to the modern state. It combines a clear account of the history of health service provision with a discussion of the social, economic and political issues at stake including: • pestilence, public order and morality in pre-modern times • the Enlightenment and its effects • public health and centralization in Victorian Britain • localization of health care in the United States • population issues and family welfare • the rise of the classic welfare state and its health care policies • attitudes towards public health into the twenty-first century. Health, Civilization and the State draws on the proliferation of works written in the last forty years on the social and historical approaches to the history of public health.

It is a bicameral (two-house) legislature, consisting of the 100-member senate and the 435-member house of repre- senta tives. Each state has 2 senators who are elected statewide and serve 6-year terms. A senator must be at least 30 years of age, a citizen of the United States for at least 9 years, and a resident of the state from which he or she is elected. The number of members a state has in the house of representatives is determined according to population. A house member, who serves a 2-year term, must be at least 25 years of age, a citizen of the United States for at least 7 years, and a resident of the state from which he or she is elected. The house of representatives is reapportioned after each decennial census to accommodate shifts in population. Michigan’s 16-member congressional delegation consists of 2 senators, both of whom are elected on a statewide basis, and 14 members of the house of representatives who are elected from congressional districts last apportioned by Act 128 of the Public Acts of 2011, enacted on August 24, 2011. The average population of these house districts is 705,974. After reaching a peak representation of 19 members in the house during the 1960s, the state’s delegation lost one house seat after the 1980 census, two more house seats after the 1990 census, and one more house seat after both the 2000 and 2010 census, reducing the number of Michigan seats in the house of representatives to 14.
