“The discussion of the game of marbles seems to have led us into rather deep waters. But in the eyes of children the history of the game of marbles has quite as much importance as the history of religion or of forms of government. It Is a history, moreover, that is magnificently spontaneous; and it was therefore perhaps not entirely useless to seek to throw light on the child's judgment of moral value by a preliminary study of the social behaviour of children amongst themselves.” ChildrenLightSeemsGovernmentEyeFormValuesGamesSocialWaterMoralStudyJudgmentImportanceUselessDiscussionBehaviourSpontaneousMarbleForms Of GovernmentMoral ValuesMoral JudgmentDeep WaterEyes Of A Child Author:Jean Piaget
“The dissemination of the individual's opinions on matters of public interest is for us, in the historic words of the Declaration of Independence, an 'unalienable right' that 'governments are instituted among men to secure.' History shows us that the Founders were not always convinced that unlimited discussion of public issues would be 'for the benefit of all of us' but that they firmly adhered to the proposition that the 'true liberty of the press' permitted 'every man to publish his opinion'.” MenMatterShowsGovernmentWould BeIndividualInterestLibertyOpinionIssuesBenefitsIndependencePressesConvincedEvery ManSecureDiscussionFreedom Of SpeechFoundersDeclarationUnlimitedPropositionsHistoricPublishDeclaration Of IndependencePublic InterestDissemination Author:John Marshall Harlan II
“It is a mistake to think of these men as visionary dreamers, playing around at Philadelphia with abstract conceptions of political theory, pulling a whole scheme of government out of the air like a rabbit out of a hat. True, many of them had read and studied enough about the science of politics to put the average statesman of today to shame. But political science was to them an extremely practical topic of discussion, dealing with the extremely practical business of running a government--not, as today, a branch of higher learning reserved for the use of graduate students.” ThinkingMenEnoughWholeUseGovernmentRunningTodayPoliticalMistakeAirStudentsTheoryHigherShameAveragePracticalsDiscussionAbstractBranchesHatsConceptionDreamerGraduatesSchemesPullingTopicsRabbitsPolitical ScienceVisionariesStatesmenReservedPhiladelphiaTrue ManGraduate StudentsPlaying AroundPolitical TheoryHigher Learning Book:55 Men, Story of Constitution Source: 55 Men, Story of Constitution
