| 520 | _a"Citizen or Subject?" by Francis X. Hennessy is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the importance of understanding the status of an American citizen in relation to government, particularly in the context of the Eighteenth Amendment, which the author argues was improperly included in the Constitution. Hennessy seeks to educate readers on the foundational principles of American democracy, emphasizing the distinction between citizens and subjects. The opening of the work establishes a critical examination of the average American's understanding of citizenship, highlighting an apparent ignorance that could threaten individual freedoms. Hennessy asserts that if the notion of American citizenship exists, then the Eighteenth Amendment cannot be legitimately part of the Constitution. He frames the narrative around the historical context of American independence, stressing the need for citizens to be aware of their rights and responsibilities, and tracing the evolution from being subjects under British rule to becoming citizens with constitutional powers. The author passionately argues that a failure to understand this distinction can lead to a regression into a state of subjugation. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
