Liberty and Law: Or Outlines of a New System for the Organization and Administration of Federal Government is a book written by Britton Armstrong Hill in 1880. The book presents a new system for the organization and administration of federal government that emphasizes both liberty and law. Hill argues that the current system of government in the United States is flawed and in need of significant reform. He proposes a system that would decentralize power, limit the authority of the federal government, and increase the power of the states. Hill's proposed system is based on the principles of liberty, democracy, and federalism. He argues that the government should be organized in a way that maximizes individual liberty and minimizes the power of the state. Hill also emphasizes the importance of law in maintaining a stable and just society. He proposes a system of checks and balances that would prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of Hill's proposed system. The first section provides an overview of the current system of government in the United States and identifies its flaws. The second section outlines Hill's proposed system and explains how it would work in practice. The third section explores the role of the states in Hill's proposed system and argues that they should have more power and autonomy. The final section of the book discusses the importance of education and civic engagement in maintaining a healthy democracy.Overall, Liberty and Law is an important work of political philosophy that offers a compelling vision for the future of American government. Hill's ideas continue to be relevant today, and his book remains an important resource for anyone interested in the principles of liberty, democracy, and federalism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

While electoral participation is a traditional topic in political science, voter turnout at the local level is still largely uncharted. There are very few large-N comparative works on municipal turnout and, as a result, a lack of a comprehensive comparative picture of local electoral participation. This book aims to fill that gap by taking an innovative approach to the topic. The volume makes three major advances at the empirical, methodological and theoretical levels. Empirically, it provides a large-N comparison by covering 18 European countries and more than 70,000 municipalities. Methodologically, the book uses the multi-level congruence theory to study municipal turnout in relation to national turnout, exploring the variation between those levels. Theoretically, it bridges the two main (and often mutually exclusive) strands in the literature on local elections ¿ the lower-rank and different-kind approaches ¿ and it assesses the features and mechanisms of local voting.
