  • The Nature of Political Representation, II

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1940Cited by: 3

    In the literature of law, there has been comparatively little discussion as to the nature of political representation. A representative democracy has been defined as "a form of government where the powers of the sovereignty are delegated to a body of men, elected from time to time, who exercise them for the benefit of the whole nation." And a representative form of government has been defined as "a government conducted and constituted by the agen…

  • The Nature of Political Representation, I

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1940Cited by: 9References: 5

    Much has been written on the origin, development, and characteristics of representative government; and in recent years there has been a revival of interest in this subject, and a further analysis of the evidence and criticism of views formerly accepted. In this extensive literature, considerable attention has been given to the nature of political representation and representative government, and to the relation between the representative and his…

  • Administrative Regions in Great Britain

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1937

    In the administration of public affairs in Great Britain, several government departments have found it convenient to divide the country into varying numbers of regional districts, each covering a group of counties. These districts vary a good deal in number and in area for the different departments, though in some cases a similar area is used by more than one department. The largest area is Scotland, with an extensive organization of public admin…

  • The Legislature and the Administration, II

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1936

    Effective legislative supervision over administrative agencies depends on the means and methods employed. The main types of means and methods which may be employed include the following: (1) provision for securing adequate information concerning the work of the administration, by requiring records and accounts of administrative actions and financial transactions, regular reports of such actions and accounts, and requests for information on partic…

  • The Legislature and the Administration, I

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1936References: 1

    Mr. W. F. Willoughby, in his Principles of Public Administration , holds that “the function of direction, supervision, and control of the administrative activities of the government resides in the legislative branch of the government.” More specifically, he states that, “in the case of our national government at least, Congress is the source of all administrative authority.” It may be suggested however, that an examination of existing systems of …

  • The Executive Power in the State Constitution

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1935

    A MERICAN state constitutions recognize three main classes of governmental powers-legislative, executive, and judicial-and provide for three corresponding distinct departments of government. There is, however, no clear definition of these powers, and, as Madison pointed out in Federalist papers, early state constitutions did not establish a complete separation of powers; nor have later changes in state constitutions secured this result. The const…

  • British Malaya

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1933

    Malaya is a peninsula in southeastern Asia, until recently of slight importance in the affairs of the world at large. During the present century, however, it has come to be of increasing significance for its output of rubber and tin, and its population has doubled since 1900. Economic and political affairs are in the main controlled by the British, but under different legal arrangements for different sections. The Straits Settlements form a Briti…

  • The Dutch East Indies

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1932

    It is safe to say that very few people in the United States have any appreciation of the importance of the Netherlands Indies to Holland, to the world at large, or to the United States. Yet they constitute a major part in the economic prosperity of Holland, furnish a large element in the international trade of the world, and are significant factors in the foreign trade of the United States. They are also the seat of political developments, result…

  • Ceylon's Government, Old and New

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1931

    The government of Ceylon presents several points of interest to the student of political institutions. The island is the most important of the British crown colonies, and has been governed in recent years under a dual system, with an appointed executive and a legislative council, a majority of which is elected. A new constitution, which will go into effect during the present year, provides for a novel system with a very large measure of responsib…

  • Constitutional Developments in China

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1931

    The National People's Convention held in May, 1931, and the provisional constitution adopted by it, mark a stage in the development of modern political institutions in China. But it is as yet too early to determine how successful these will be in establishing a permanently stable government. Calling the Convention was itself an indication that a relative degree of stability had been attained, following the agreement between the Nanking government…

  • Political Developments and Tendencies

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1930References: 1

    It has seemed fitting, at this second meeting of the Association in New Orleans, where it was organized a quarter of a century ago, to give some attention to significant happenings during this period, in the affairs of the Association, in the field of political action, and in the analysis and interpretation of political phenomena. At least two former presidents have discussed some phases of these topics; but there is perhaps room for a difference…

  • Advisory Committees in British Administration

    Open AccessJohn A FairlieARTICLEAmerican Political Science Review1926Cited by: 2

    A comparatively recent development in British public administration has been the creation of advisory committees or consultative councils in connection with a number of government offices. It is probable that government officials have at times in the past held consultations with small groups of citizens without any formal organization or requirement. Temporary commissions and committees have also been set up from time to time including members of…
