NEW MANUAL OF THE 



CONSTITUTION OF THE 



UNITED STATES 



By ISRAEL WARD ANDREWS, D. D., LL. D. 



Revised by HOMER MORRIS, LL.D., 



of the Cincinnati Bar. 



IN the present edition Andrews's Manual has been brought 

 up to date in all particulars, but the utmost care has been 

 taken to keep to the original design of the work. It gives 

 a clear exposition of the great principles of the Constitution 

 with a summary of the legislative provisions in which they 

 have been embodied, and at the same time contains the more 

 recent interpretations of the Constitution by the courts and 

 the important statutes calculated to produce Dermanent political 

 effect. 



^ The book grew out of the necessities and experiences of 

 the class room and was the result of a somewhat extended 

 investigation of our governmental history by the author. 

 The material presented takes up the subject in a comprehensive 

 manner and covers those many questions which otherwise 

 could be answered only after laborious research and the study 

 of scattered volumes. 



•[[ While the primary object was to provide a suitable text- 

 book adequate to all the requirements of the study, an attempt 

 , has been made to adapt the Manual for consultation and 

 reference by the general public, and to embody in the work 

 that kind and that amount of information on the various topics 

 which an intelligent citizen would desire to possess. 

 ^ As the value of a work of this kind depends in a large 

 measure upon its accuracy, in nearly every instance the state- 

 ments touching legislation or other action of the government 

 have been taken from official publications.
