Northern Illinois University Law Review
Although the contention that American political parties have undergone fundamental changes in the past two decades has been intensely studied, one aspect of the transformation of parties has not received much attention.

An Attorney General Of Nova Scotia, J.S.D. Thompson, 1878-1882: Disparate Aspects Of Law And Society In Provincial Canada, P. B. Waite
