by William Whiting (Author)

War Powers Under The Constitution Of The United States: Military Arrests, Reconstruction And Military Government (1871) is a book written by William Whiting that explores the topic of war powers and their application under the United States Constitution. The book focuses on three main areas: military arrests, reconstruction, and military government. Whiting examines the constitutional basis for military arrests, including the writ of habeas corpus and the power of Congress to suspend it during times of rebellion or invasion. He also explores the use of military tribunals and the rights of citizens during times of war. In the section on reconstruction, Whiting discusses the role of the military in enforcing the Reconstruction Acts and ensuring that the newly freed slaves were able to exercise their rights as citizens. He analyzes the constitutional basis for these actions and argues that they were necessary to ensure the stability and security of the nation. Finally, in the section on military government, Whiting examines the constitutional authority for military rule in occupied territories and the responsibilities of military commanders in these situations. He discusses the challenges of balancing military necessity with civilian rights and argues that military government is a necessary tool in times of war. Overall, War Powers Under The Constitution Of The United States: Military Arrests, Reconstruction And Military Government (1871) is a comprehensive examination of the constitutional basis for war powers and their application in three key areas of American history.Also, Now First Published, War Claims Of Aliens: With Notes On The Acts Of The Executive And Legislative Departments During Our Civil War, And A Collection Of Cases Decided In The National Courts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
