Table Annexed To Article: Surveying The 831 Unique Words In The Philadelphia Constitution, Peter Aschenbrenner
Table Annexed To Article: Surveying The 831 Unique Words In The Philadelphia Constitution, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Of the 831 unique words in the Philadelphia Constitution, what were the most frequently used words? The least? OCL lists all unique words in rank order with and without frequencies, accounting for the word total of 4,321 words in the Philadelphia Constitution.
The Colony-Making Power Of Congress Priced In The Purchase Of Alaska, Peter Aschenbrenner
The Colony-Making Power Of Congress Priced In The Purchase Of Alaska, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
There is certainly no power given by the Constitution to the Federal Government to establish or maintain colonies bordering on the United States or at a distance, to be ruled and governed at its own pleasure, Our Constitutional Logic paraphrases the immediate cause of the Civil War, with citation to Dred Scott’s case at 60 U.S. 393, 446 (1857). That, however, is not the only defect in the purchase of Alaska from the Czar of the Russias. Our Constitutional Logic investigates the non-Euclidean geometry pertinent to the treaty’s boundaries such as they might appear on the sphere near you.
Madison's Redans, Ravelins And Bastions: A Short History Of The War Of 1812, Peter Aschenbrenner
Madison's Redans, Ravelins And Bastions: A Short History Of The War Of 1812, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The employment of earthworks and breastworks in defense of dense communities is considered in light of the advice of Baron Henri de Jomini which the Secretary of Defense transmitted before Madison appointed. Because the Secretary failed to follow the Baron’s advice – which the Secretary had transmitted into print culture as Hints to Young Generals – Madison sacked him after the battle of Bladensburg.
Ages Of The Delegates At The Federal Convention: Early Birds And Worms?, Peter Aschenbrenner
Ages Of The Delegates At The Federal Convention: Early Birds And Worms?, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Of the fifty-five delegates who attended the federal convention at Philadelphia in 1787, the median in age was Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut, thirty-two years old. The delegate with the median remaining life span was Jacob Broom of Delaware (thirty-three years). The early arrivers were neither older nor younger than the others. Nor were they marked down for a shorter or longer remaining lifespan.
Initial Federal Offices Created/Contemplated By The Philadelphia Constitution, Peter Aschenbrenner
Initial Federal Offices Created/Contemplated By The Philadelphia Constitution, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Whether commands, permission, or prohibitions are trafficked, this three-way division credited to Jeremy Bentham, spatial logic dictates that for every office there must be, sooner or later, an office holder. The one hundred and seven offices created or contemplated by the Philadelphia Constitution are surveyed.
Table Annexed To Article: Unique Words In Constitutions I And Ii Surveyed, Peter Aschenbrenner
Table Annexed To Article: Unique Words In Constitutions I And Ii Surveyed, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Constitution I and Constitution II are surveyed with all words treated as appearing only once; that is, appearing uniquely. The texture of the two constitutions is presented with comparative lists of the 775 unique words of Constitution I with the 831 unique words of Constitution II; the 406 unique words of Constitution II which appear in Constitution I are calendared.
The Reannexation Of Alaska, By Russia, Reconsidered, Peter Aschenbrenner
The Reannexation Of Alaska, By Russia, Reconsidered, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Each house district shall be formed of contiguous and compact territory containing as nearly as practicable a relatively integrated socio-economic area, in paraphrase, the Alaska Constitution (Article VI) enjoins. However, when the current potentate of all that is Russia considers reannexation of all that is Alaska, the results must be calendared accordingly to their respective merits.
Table Annexed To Article: Madison's Apology For The Fall Of Washington In Mr Text, Peter Aschenbrenner
Table Annexed To Article: Madison's Apology For The Fall Of Washington In Mr Text, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
As for his explanation for his failed leadership in support of regular and militia forces at Bladensburg, Madison held his fire during his lifetime; posthumous publication of important and highly nuanced writings – amounting to his apology to the nation for his failures – were finally acquired by Congress and published in 1865 (the Lippincott edition). Of four groupings of documents his Memorandum, dated August 24, 1814 and his Memorandum, referencing August 29, 1814, both written long afterwards are presented in MR text format by Our Constitutional Logic.
Table Annexed To Article: The Art Of War By Baron Henri De Jomini In Mr Text, Peter Aschenbrenner
Table Annexed To Article: The Art Of War By Baron Henri De Jomini In Mr Text, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The Baron Henri de Jomini’s Grand Tactique, first published in France (1805), went through a number of different editions and appeared under different titles and in different series throughout the first half of the Nineteenth Century. Although a reduction/translation of the work appears as John Armstrong’s Hints to Young Generals, which Our Constitutional Logic has published (for the first time) in MR text at 2 OCL 651, Jomini’s Grand Tactique was not faithfully rendered into English until 1862 (with a follow on printing in 1865) by Capt. G.H. Mendell and Lt. W.P. Craighill. Since OCL has compared this edition with …
Madison’S Semantic Purity Project And Its Sisters, Peter Aschenbrenner
Madison’S Semantic Purity Project And Its Sisters, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Madison’s semantic purity project foundered on a reef of Hamiltonian dimensions; its lack of success should intensify our interest in all of its programmatic aspects. This broader view is provided by treating two of JM’s projects – named as Madison’s Ratifications: Exploiting Ratification Debates and Madison’s Taxonomy: Fifteen Methods of Constitutional Reasoning – as co-equal to Madison’s Semantic Purity: Procedures at Risk. The article follows on The Doctrine of Semantic Purity: Madison’s Project (and its Difficulties) Introduced, 2 OCL 798
Table Annexed To Article: Bentham’S 1789 Footnote To The Introduction To The Principles Of Morals And Legisation [Revised Edition, 1789], Peter Aschenbrenner
Table Annexed To Article: Bentham’S 1789 Footnote To The Introduction To The Principles Of Morals And Legisation [Revised Edition, 1789], Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
In the 1789 (revised edition) of Jeremy Bentham’s The Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation, Bentham appended a footnote of 4,089 words. First, Our Constitutional Logic leaves various identifiable exceptions to one side. Second, Bentham’s sentences may be taken in natural or semi-regimented style. All laws may be divided into three types: commands, prohibitions and permissions. Leaving to one side Bentham’s wheelbarrow of neologisms, ‘Bentham’s Sieve’ receives its due attention.
Table Annexed To Article: Using A Control Group To Measure Words Of Science In Selected Works: An Introduction To Scoring Word Frequencies, Peter Aschenbrenner
Table Annexed To Article: Using A Control Group To Measure Words Of Science In Selected Works: An Introduction To Scoring Word Frequencies, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
OCL selected fourteen words in a ‘words of science’ family: system, science, math, arithmetic, geometry, abstract, logic, theory, paradox, fallacy, hypothesis, experiment, symmetry, calculus. The words were tested against four target files and a control file. The latter was a basket of five literary works by British authors. The four target files were: Blackstone’s Commentaries, Bentham’s Fragment on Government, the Federalist essays and twenty prefaces to congressionally sponsored multi-volume works with publication dates 1815-1861.

The Great Divorce I: Was Wm. Blackstone’S Investigation Of ‘Thirty-Five’ Gradual Improvements (In The Final Chapter Of The Commentaries) A Scientific Enterprise?, Peter Aschenbrenner
The Great Divorce I: Was Wm. Blackstone’S Investigation Of ‘Thirty-Five’ Gradual Improvements (In The Final Chapter Of The Commentaries) A Scientific Enterprise?, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
1763 is a convenient point to mark both the conclusion of the Third Silesian War and The Great Divorce, by which the men and women of hard science and the practitioners of law, history, political science and philosophy went their separate ways. As befits nastiness in human affairs, a custody battle diposed maths (including the mature calculus and the nascent statistics) to hard sciences, principally, physics, astronomy, chemistry and biology. Disconsolate, the practitioners of the polysciences struggled forward, suffering further revolutions at the end of the Nineteenth Century. Turf wars in academia were not new, as of the Treaty of …
Table Annexed To Article: Mr Text Of Prefaces To Histories Appearing In Twenty-Eight Congressionally Sponsored Multi-Volume Works With Publication Dates 1815-1861, Peter Aschenbrenner
Table Annexed To Article: Mr Text Of Prefaces To Histories Appearing In Twenty-Eight Congressionally Sponsored Multi-Volume Works With Publication Dates 1815-1861, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
To introduce the first volume of each of the multi-volume works of the twenty-eight Congressionally sponsored multi-volume documentary histories, compilations, recreated debates and similar works the respective authors created 20 different instances of prefatory material, with a total of 122 pages in 42,276 words. These have been keyed into machine readable format and are available for word counts and surveys of frequencies.
Table Annexed To Article: Speeches And Essays Concerning The Neutrality Proclamations Debates, Peter Aschenbrenner
Table Annexed To Article: Speeches And Essays Concerning The Neutrality Proclamations Debates, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
In 1793 Alexander Hamilton and James Madison crafted sixteen essays, public and private letters addressing Washington’s Neutrality Proclamation of April 22, 1793. The pertinent text of the proclamation reads: ‘Whereas it appears that a state of war exists between Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great Britain, and the United Netherlands of the one part and France on the other, and the duty and interest of the United States require that they should with sincerity and good faith adopt and pursue a conduct friendly and impartial toward the belligerent powers: I have therefore thought fit by these presents to declare the disposition of …
Table Annexed To Article: Multi-Volume Documentary Histories, Compilations, Recreated Debates And Similar Works, 1815-1861: Title Page From Each Work (In Recreation Text Format), Peter Aschenbrenner
Table Annexed To Article: Multi-Volume Documentary Histories, Compilations, Recreated Debates And Similar Works, 1815-1861: Title Page From Each Work (In Recreation Text Format), Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Our Constitutional Logic has extracted, in recreation text, the title pages (one page per work) from each of the multi-volume works surveyed. The qualifications for listing are that the works must be: (a) multi-volume, (b) federally sponsored, (c) first sent to press between 1815 and 1861 [with the exception for The Serial Set as noted] , (d) in English. In addition, the subject must be historical or form the basis of historical study in any broadly conceived sense.
Table Annexed To Article: Counting Words In The Federalist, Peter Aschenbrenner
Table Annexed To Article: Counting Words In The Federalist, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Word counts for each of the eighty-five articles published by Publius, the (collective) pseudonym of John Jay, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, are surveyed. The 189,497 words are also broken down by author. The effort is ancillary to a project fixing the semantic values of ‘constitution’, ‘federal’ and ‘republic’ throughout the Early Republic (=1787 through 1857).
