Excerpt from Woman's Suffrage by Constitutional Amendment The following pages contain substantially the five lectures delivered by the author in the Storrs Lecture Course in the Law School of Yale University, in February, 1916. The title given to this book, "Woman's Suffrage by Constitutional Amendment," is not the same under which the lectures were originally given. Their title was "Local Self-Government." The reader will see that the real discussion in these pages is devoted to the proper and rightful demarcation of the powers of the Federal and State Governments under the Constitution of the United States, and the necessity for maintaining those powers in a just equilibrium for the preservation of the Liberty of American citizens.
