The Rights of an American Citizen: With a Commentary on State Rights, and on the Constitution and Policy of the United States

This work seeks to examine not only the rights of individuals but rights in general. Discussions pertaining to natural rights, legal rights and those of the government, both state and federal, are also included. The author presents a review of the self-evident rights and theorizes as to how these rights were incorporated in the American government and their existence long before the Civil War.
