THE COLLEGE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO STAFF OF SOCIAL SCIENCE I

The People Shall Judge Two Volumes

Chicago, IL: The University of Chicago Press, 1957. 4th Printing. Hardcover. Two volume set. The books are in Very Good condition and have Good only dust jackets. The book covers have sturdy library bindings (but NOT ex library copies). The book covers have some light bumping and wear to the spine ends, corners and spine joints. The text pages are clean and bright. The endpapers have spots of foxing and toning, especially to the inner spine hinges. The People Shall Judge provides a complete set of readings for courses in American history and political science and for general social science courses. The editors have assembled more than 250 readings which illustrate the great controversies in America’s past, the issues involved in forming American public policy yesterday and today. These selections have been drawn from systematic philosophies; from opinions expressed in law and judicial decisions; from speeches or pamphlets struck off in the heat of controversy; from political and diplomatic correspondence. They are grouped to focus attention on the perennial issues of liberty, equality, and security in about a dozen significant periods of American history. Volume I, Part 1, begins with a consideration of truth and liberty in the seventeenth century, continues with a study of the issues of the American Revolution, and concludes with a study of the Confederation and the Constitution. The organization of the readings puts the issues in the context of four fundamental relationships: the citizen and the economy (and, within the economy, the interrelations of major interest groups) ; the federal union and the states; the United States and the world. The best available texts have been used. Introductions and explanatory notes relate the readings to one another, suggest the circumstances in which they were written, and provide biographical information about the authors."

"Willard Cleon Skousen (January 20, 1913 – January 9, 2006) was an American conservative author associated with the John Birch Society. In addition to his role as a notable anti-communist and supporter of the John Birch Society, Skousen had a significant influence on Mormonism. He served as a prominent figure within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) , contributing to Mormon literature and theology. Skousen's works often reflected his Mormon beliefs and included discussions on Mormon eschatology, which is the study of the end times according to LDS Church teachings. While his writings covered a wide range of subjects including the Six-Day War, New World Order conspiracies, and parenting, his influence within Mormonism stemmed from his interpretations of LDS doctrine and his efforts to promote conservative values within the faith community.

The tray case is in Very Good+ condition, but has several spots of discoloration, along with some wear and tear. "John Smith fell out of favor with the directors of the Virginia Company mostly due to his insistence of increasing food supply and reducing colonist numbers. Despite this, he wrote a series of publications after returning to England in October 1609[2] about the colonial effort in North America, where he marginalized the Company's involvement. The Generall Historie was based in large part on information he was given by others, as he had not personally witnessed what had happened in the years between his leaving Virginia and publishing the book. Some episodes may have been fabricated, condensed, or truncated, the most famous perhaps being whether or not he was actually "saved" from death by Pocahontas in 1607 (a fact Smith did not write about until this publication)."
