Ideal And Practice In A State Constitution: The Case Of Minnesota, Millard L. Gieske

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Minnesota badly needs a revised constitution that generally and broadly defines and distributes powers, responsibilities and rights, and sets up a general frame of government. While this might be accomplished through the amendment process, it has been painfully slow and up to now inadequate to meet 'the needs for modern, flexible and responsive state government. A constitutional convention may still be the best and most practical way of achieving needed revisions.

One Minute To Midnight: The Problems Of Order In Latin America, Harold Lieberman

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

An attempt to describe in broad strokes some of the many problems facing Latin America. While many of these problems are not new, attitudes toward them have changed; the revolution of rising expectations" is very much in evidence. Perhaps the most important complicating factor is the unprecedented rate of population growth, highest in the world, which aggravates the already acute problems of housing, education and urbanization. Economic development is handicapped by inflation, dependence upon single exports, lack of capital, and resistance to basic changes in the social and economic structure. The United States should encourage necessary change and support the …

The Senate And Senator Joseph R. Mccarthy, Frank J. Kendrick

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

A study of the United States Senate's reaction to the activities of the late Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, of Wisconsin, based on the premise that the Senate, operating under its present rules of procedure, is both incapable of and unwilling to deal with demagogues within its midst. The nature of the censure that was reluctantly imposed upon Senator McCarthy was for only the most trivial offenses, lending support to the author's premise.

The Midwest Quarterly: A Journal of Contemporary Thought

in this issue. . .

A JOURNAL of contemporary thought cannot and ought not become a journal of current events; editorial and production problems alone prevent this. There are occasions, however, when events are of such transcendent importance and impact that they require immediate attention--even by academics who tend to prefer a measure of detachment if only for the development or emergence of perspective. One such event was the "Jobs and Freedom" march in Washington, D. C., last August 28. Thanks primarily to television coverage, it had a tremendous and immediate impact on all Americans who cared to look and …

The House And Senate Appropriations Subcommittees On The District Of Columbia, Mary Ferrell

Student Scholarship

This thesis examines the intricate and often overlooked role of the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees for the District of Columbia in governing the nation's capital. Because Washington, D.C. lacks a traditional representative government, these fifteen congressional members exercise ultimate authority over the city's policy and finances by controlling its only available funds. The author highlights a unique constitutional arrangement where Congress holds exclusive legislation over the District, resulting in a system where residents pay taxes above the national average yet remain powerless to decide how those funds are allocated. 

The study details the internal dynamics of these subcommittees, noting …

The Democratic Study Group, Joyce Bailey

Student Scholarship

This thesis, written in 1967, examines the development and operational structure of the Democratic Study Group, a formal organization of liberal Democrats within the United States House of Representatives. The group emerged in response to the perceived inefficiency of the Democratic Party's numerical majority, which was frequently stymied by a conservative coalition of Southern Democrats and Republicans who controlled key legislative instruments like the Rules Committee. Officially established in September 1959, the Democratic Study Group sought to provide a cohesive voice for junior, issue-oriented members from contested districts who felt marginalized by the traditional power-oriented leadership. 

The document details the …

The Democratic Committee On Committees In The United States Senate, Irene Gene Ritter

Student Scholarship

This paper examines the history and modern operation of the Democratic Steering Committee in the United States Senate as of 1964. Historically, the Senate was slow to adopt standing committees, originally relying on numerous select committees before establishing a formal system in 1816. While the power to appoint these committees shifted between the presiding officer and the Senate ballot during the 19th century, it eventually settled into a system controlled by party organizations and the Democratic Caucus. A significant revolution occurred in 1913 when progressive Democrats successfully bypassed the seniority system to enact Woodrow Wilson’s legislative agenda, though this shift …

"Cosmopolitans" And "Locals" In Contemporary Community Politics, Daniel J. Elazar, Douglas St. Angelo

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Numerous products of recent social science research have revealed the reemergence of what seems to be a traditional pattern in American history, the lack of class consciousness in the political behavior of most Americans (Banfield 1961, Coleman 1957, Rogoff 1951: 406- 420, Rogoff 1953: 347-357, Warner, et al. , 1949).1 While this lack of class consciousness by no means precludes the more subtle influences of socio-economic class on matters political, it does limit the usefulness of the accepted class divisions developed by sociologists and anthropologists in the 1930's and 1940's in understanding the patterns of community politics (Lynd 1937, Parsons …

The Child-Benefit Theory: A Method Of Circumventing The Wall Of Separation Doctrine, Thomas L. Pahl

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

This paper examines two concepts in American constitutional history: the child-benefit theory and the doctrine of separation of church and state. Both concepts concern the position of the private school in American society. Neither expression is found in the original Constitution nor in any of its twenty-three amendments. Nowhere in that august document are found the following words: schools, educations, federal aid, compulsory education, textbooks, transportation, etc. Thus the present controversy concerning education bas been caused by an omission, intended or otherwise, on the part of the framers of the Constitution and has been developed due to judicial interpretation. Here, …

George Romney And The Michigan Gubernatorial Compaign - 1962, Richard C. Fuller

Theses and Dissertations

Politics in Michigan had been on a low plane for a number of years. The troubles were many and their roots could be found deep in the structure of the state's government.

In April of 1959, the sagging governmental structure gave way to the extent that the state was unable to meet its payroll. The result was the much publicized "Payless Pay Day" which attracted national and international interest.

Seeing that their elected officials were seemingly powerless to correct even the basic flaws in Michigan's government, many of the state's leading business and industrial leaders decided to apply their considerable …
