Excerpt from The Science of Government: As Exhibited in the Institutions of the United States of America
The following lectures were read before the Lowell Institute, commencing November 30th, 1852, ending January 7th, 1853. The contract for their preparation was made, in behalf of the Institute, by Benjamin E. Cotting, during a temporary absence of Mr. Lowell. The subject and its mode of discussion, were adopted by myself, with an implied understanding that mere party politics should be avoided, except so far as an exposition of the system might induce to their consideration. In any and every discussion of the system of government which exists in the United States, it should be borne in mind that it is, including the national and state sovereignties, limited and regulated by written constitutions. The people may amend these instruments without resort to a supposed right of revolution.
