Political Crimes Defined, Theodore Schroeder
Political Crimes Defined, Theodore Schroeder
Michigan Law Review
Continental Europe is in the midst of revolutions. The immediate antecedents are such as to suggest the probable accompaniment of more widespread and perhaps even more intense passions of various sort, than have ever before been brought into being with a revolution. This in turn suggests the likelihood that there will follow more political plots and counter-revolutions than is usual in such cases. From such causes it is highly probable that the juridical meaning of the statutory words "an offense of a political character" will be a matter of frequent controversy, as successive crops of exiles claim the right of …
Direct Primary Legislation In Michigan, Arthur C. Millspaugh
Direct Primary Legislation In Michigan, Arthur C. Millspaugh
Michigan Law Review
The first local direct nomination law in Michigan was passed ir 1901; the first general law in 1905. The public opinion, however, which looked to the abolition of the convention system of nomination, rather than to its legal regulation, had its inception as early as 1894. The unusually objectionable primaries of that year led to a pronounced but unorganized agitation for reform, in the course of which a few of the most radical proposed to abolish absolutely all conventions.1 The legislature of 1895 contented itself, however, with attempting the regulation of primaries and conventions, leaving most of the nominating machinery …
The Recall And The Political Responsibility Of Judges, W. F. Dodd
The Recall And The Political Responsibility Of Judges, W. F. Dodd
Michigan Law Review
The movement for the recall of State officers is one which has became important only within the past three or four years. The first application of the recall as a modem institution in the United States appears to have been in Los Angeles in 19o3, where the institution was adopted in the amendment of the charter framed by that city. From Los Angeles the recall as applicable only to municipal officers spread to other California cities, and has now been rather widely adopted in other States. The first State constitutional amendment with respect to the recall, that of California in …
Is A Provision For The Initiative And Referendum Inconsistent With The Constitution Of The United States?, W. A. Coutts
Is A Provision For The Initiative And Referendum Inconsistent With The Constitution Of The United States?, W. A. Coutts
Michigan Law Review
We are told today that the Constitution of the United States forbids the adoption of the Initiative and the Referendum, as these involve such purely democratic principles as to be inconsistent with the republican form of government guaranteed by the fourth section of the fourth article of the Federal Constitution. The special interests that are opposed to the Initiative tell us that we must find some other cure for the evils at which it aims; that the Initiative is a purely democratic principle and, as such, it is forbidden by the fourth section of the fourth article of the Federal …

Limitations Upon The Power Of The Legislature To Control Political Parties And Their Primaries, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Limitations Upon The Power Of The Legislature To Control Political Parties And Their Primaries, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Michigan Law Review
The convention system of nominating candidates for public office is, in a great degree, peculiar to the United States. England has in recent years borrowed in part our caucus, but as late as 1893, a writer in the American Law Regisieri says: "A nomination is made in the British dominions by a paper filed by one person and one or a very few seconders." Nor have we always had the convention system here. The first national nominating convention was held in Baltimore, by the anti- Masonic party, on September 26, 1831.
