| dc.description.abstract | This analysis is patterned to first picture the historical background of popular participation in government in America; second, to outline the history of the war referendum in America; third, to discuss the referendum as an instrument of popular government; fourth, to scrutinize the negative arguments of the national war referendum; fifth, to seek the positive arguments of a national war amendment; sixth, to show the modifications imposed upon any conclusion because of the workings of allied concepts, namely the realisms of politics and the vicissitudes of public opinion; and lastly, to summarize a conclusion upon the basis of the foregoing facts and analyses. A chapter has been devoted to each of these phases of the issue which is the subject of an interesting and much debated controversy. | en_US |
