The Lost Principle; Or The Sectional Equilibrium

The Lost Principle; Or The Sectional Equilibrium: How It Was Created, How Destroyed, How It May Be Restored is a book written by John Scott. This book explores the history of the sectional equilibrium, a principle that was once at the heart of American politics but has since been lost. The author discusses how this principle was created, how it was destroyed, and how it can be restored. The sectional equilibrium was a political principle that was based on the idea of balance between the different regions of the United States. It was created in the early years of the republic and was seen as essential to maintaining a stable and unified country. However, over time, this principle was eroded by a variety of factors, including the rise of sectionalism, the Civil War, and the growth of federal power.In this book, John Scott explores the history of the sectional equilibrium and its decline. He argues that the loss of this principle has had a profound impact on American politics, leading to a lack of unity and an increase in polarization. However, he also offers hope for the future, suggesting that the sectional equilibrium can be restored through a renewed commitment to the principles of federalism and limited government.Overall, The Lost Principle; Or The Sectional Equilibrium: How It Was Created, How Destroyed, How It May Be Restored is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on American history and politics. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the challenges facing the United States today and how they can be overcome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
