Woman's suffrage by Constitutional amendment

description

Summary

This is a collection of lectures delivered by Tucker in the William Storrs Lecture Series, Yale University Law School, 1916, and originally titled "Local Self-Government." One lecture addresses the ways in which the proposal to enfranchise women by Constitutional amendment violates the "genius" of the Constitution. Good opposing arguments can be found in "Woman suffrage by federal Constitutional amendment" [Library, Carrie Chapman Catt, sec. VII, no. 60].

Also available in digital form on the Library of Congress Web site.
