Sinopsis

''Republicanism Vs. Grantism: The Presidency A Trust, Not A Plaything And Perquisite'' is a political treatise written by Charles Sumner in 1872. The book is a critical analysis of the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant, who Sumner believed had abused his power and treated the presidency as a personal possession rather than a public trust. Sumner, a prominent Republican senator from Massachusetts, argues that the presidency must be held to a high standard of integrity and accountability, and that Grant?s actions had undermined the very principles of republican government. The book is a passionate defense of the ideals of democracy and the rule of law, and a call to action for citizens to hold their leaders accountable for their actions. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the political climate of the late 19th century and the challenges faced by the young American republic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
