About this eBook
In this remarkable work Luce describes the often complex relations between legislatures and the law. He then addresses the nature, origin and development of law, representative institutions and organic law as embodied in the U.S. Constitution, constitutional conventions and statute law. Luce [1862-1946] was a member of the Massachusetts General Court, Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. An expert on legislative government, he was also a member of the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention of 1917-1919. "Mr. Luce has performed a very useful service to students of political science. He has drawn upon a great mass of material, has organized it and given it coherence, and has illumined it by thoughtful comment and discussion."Roger H. WellsThe American Political Science Review 25, no. 2 (1931): 452
