Some of the most far-reaching and innovative parliamentary reform
is occurring in Africa. While these reforms are not yet widespread
across the continent, parliaments in some African countries are
asserting their independence as policymakers, as overseers of
government and as the guardian of citizens' rights and needs.
African Parliamentary Reform presents recent reforms in selected
African parliaments - Liberia, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania,
Rwanda, Benin and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It also
presents cross-cutting innovations by African parliaments - in
fighting corruption, in providing development to constituents and
in combatting climate change. Many of the chapters are authored by
African MPs. The book will be of interest to students and scholars
of African Politics, and to those international institutions that
support parliamentary development. African Parliamentary Reform is
a joint initiative by the World Bank Institute, the Commonwealth
Parliamentary Association and the Parliamentary Centre (Africa).

Now introduced by eminent civil libertarian, constitutional
scholar, and New York Times bestselling author Alan Dershowitz, The
Federalist Papers are a must-have for all scholars of history and
government and all Americans. Widely considered to be among the
most important historical collections of all time, The Federalist
Papers were intended to persuade New York at-large delegates to the
Constitutional Convention to accept the newly drafted Constitution
in 1787. Authored in parts by Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, together
as the pseudonym of Publius, the documents have been referred to
and heavily cited countless times in all aspects of American
government and politics. Together, the eighty-five Federalist
essays stand among the Constitution of the United States, the
Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, and other work by the
Founding Fathers that helped build and solidify the foundation of
American democracy. With its rich history and a new introduction
from Alan Dershowitz, one of the most prominent legal minds in the
country, The Federalist Papers will educate you on the groundwork
that shaped the greatest country in the world.
Here, in a single volume, is a selection of the classic critiques
of the new Constitution penned by such ardent defenders of states'
rights and personal liberty as George Mason, Patrick Henry, and
Melancton Smith; pro-Constitution writings by James Wilson and Noah
Webster; and thirty-three of the best-known and most crucial
Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John
Jay. The texts of the chief constitutional documents of the early
Republic are included as well. David Wootton's illuminating
Introduction examines the history of such American principles of
government as checks and balances, the separation of powers,
representation by election, and judicial independenceaincluding
their roots in the largely Scottish, English, and French new
science of politics. It also offers suggestions for reading The
Federalist, the classic elaboration of these principles written in
defense of a new Constitution that sought to apply them to the
young Republic.
Six books of more than 100 quotations from American Presidents and
Founding Fathers selected from the single largest collection of
quotations. Each book includes two sections, Quote and UnQuote,
giving a sampling of the public and private sides of each. Printed
in two-color throughout, these high-quality hardbound books are
perfect for those who find inspiration from leaders of great note.
The words of these famous Americans who came before us will inspire
through insight, truth, wit, and turn of phrase.

The Reynolds Pamphlet (1797) is an essay by Alexander Hamilton.
Written while Hamilton was serving as Secretary of the Treasury,
the Pamphlet was intended as a defense against accusations that
Hamilton had conspired with James Reynolds to misuse funds meant to
cover unpaid wages to Revolutionary War veterans. Admitting to an
affair with Maria, Reynolds' wife, Hamilton claims that the
accusation is nothing more than an attempt at blackmail. This
revelation not only endangered Hamilton's career as a public
figure, but constituted perhaps the earliest sex scandal in
American history. "The bare perusal of the letters from Reynolds
and his wife is sufficient to convince my greatest enemy that there
is nothing worse in the affair than an irregular and indelicate
amour. For this, I bow to the just censure which it merits. I have
paid pretty severely for the folly and can never recollect it
without disgust and self condemnation. It might seem affectation to
say more." Accused of corruption in his role as Secretary of the
Treasury, Alexander Hamilton was forced to confess his adultery,
bringing shame to himself as a married man and supposedly honorable
public figure, yet saving his political career in the process.
Looking back on his affair with Maria Reynolds from a distance of
five years, Hamilton expresses regret for his foolishness, yet
wholeheartedly denies her husband's accusation that he had been
involved in his scheme to misuse government funds. Perhaps the
first sex scandal in American history, the Reynolds affair sent
shockwaves throughout the burgeoning republic, leaving many to
question the motives and character of their leaders for the first
time, though certainly not the last. With a beautifully designed
cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of
Alexander Hamilton's Reynolds Pamphlet is a classic of American
literature reimagined for modern readers.
Alexander Hamilton is best known as the United States’ first Secretary of the Treasury and the author of the majority of The Federalist Papers, a series of essays that outlined the basic concepts and premises of the U.S. Constitution. Since the founding of the nation, these essays have been used by the U.S. Supreme Court as an authoritative guide to the intentions of the Founding Fathers in cases involving constitutional interpretation. Included in this volume are five of the most important essays from The Federalist Papers, plus personal correspondence and public statements from across Hamilton’s career as a statesman.
In the USA, severe psychiatric illness after childbirth strikes one
woman for every 1000 births, or about 3500 women each year. An
unrecorded number of new mothers experience lesser degrees of
postpartum illness, and two distinct forms of severe illness can be
distinguished. One form, called postpartum psychosis, is an
agitated, very changeable condition, often characterized by
confusion, hallucinations, delusions and sometimes episodes of
violent behaviour. The other condition, major postpartum
depression, begins two or three weeks after childbirth, and is
characterized by confusion, depression of mood, and often with
exhaustion, headache and digestive upset. Mixtures of the two
severe disorders occur frequently. This volume contains a number of
essays which support the position that postpartum disorders are
primarily organic and are mainly disorders of hormonal deficit.
They develop as the endocrine system falls back from the
hyperactivity of pregnancy toward or beyond the levels of the prior
non-pregnant state. Tremendous therapeutic opportunities exist or
are imminent for both the organic and the psychological components
of postpartum mental illness.

"The Pacificus-Helvidius Debates of 1793-1794" matched Hamilton and
Madison in the first chapter of an enduring discussion about the
proper roles of the executive and legislative branches in the
conduct of American foreign policy. Ignited by President
Washington's Neutrality Proclamation of 1793, the debate addressed
whether Washington had the authority to declare America neutral,
despite an early alliance treaty with France. Hamilton argued that
Washington's actions were constitutional and that friction between
the two branches was an unavoidable, but not harmful, consequence
of the separation of powers. Madison countered that Washington's
proclamation would introduce "new principles and new constructions"
into the Constitution. While the Pacificus-Helvidius debates did
not resolve this ongoing constitutional controversy, they did
define the grounds upon which this question was to be examined, to
this very day.

The Federalist Papers (1787-1788) is a collection of essays and
articles by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.
Written in support of the recently completed Constitutional
Convention, The Federalist Papers were intended to support the
ratification process of the new United States Constitution. When
the Constitutional Convention was completed on September 17, 1787
in Philadelphia, the newly-agreed upon Constitution was sent to the
states for ratification. As opponents of a strong centralized
government began attacking the Constitution in the press, Hamilton
recruited Jay and Madison to contribute articles and essays in
favor of Federalism to prominent journals and newspapers. Published
between October 27, 1787 and May 28, 1788, The Federalist Papers
were written by the three authors under the pseudonym
“Publius.” Although Hamilton wrote the vast majority,
Madison’s and Jay’s contributions are still seen as essential
works on the philosophy of American governance. Federalist Nos. 10
and 14, both written by Madison, are regarded as especially
significant for arguing for the possibility of effectively
governing an expansive republic. In Federalist No. 84, Hamilton
argues against adding a Bill of Rights, a proposed compromise with
Anti-Federalists that would eventually make up the first ten
Amendments to the Constitution. Other important topics introduced
or explained in The Federalist Papers include the doctrine of
judicial review, the case for a single chief executive, and the
purpose of checks and balances. With a beautifully designed cover
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The
Federalist Papers is a classic of American political history
reimagined for modern readers.
