Publisher's Synopsis
Loyal Citizenship is a book written by Thomas Harrison Reed in 1922. This book delves into the concept of citizenship and its importance in the United States. Reed argues that being a loyal citizen is not only a duty but also a privilege, and that it is necessary for the preservation of democracy. The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the meaning of citizenship and its historical development. The second part explores the responsibilities of citizens, including their duty to vote, to obey laws, to serve in the military, and to pay taxes. The third part focuses on the privileges of citizenship, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press. Throughout the book, Reed emphasizes the importance of education in creating and maintaining loyal citizens. He argues that schools should teach not only the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic but also the principles of democracy and good citizenship. Overall, Loyal Citizenship is a thought-provoking book that encourages readers to reflect on their own responsibilities and privileges as citizens of the United States. It provides a historical and philosophical perspective on citizenship that is still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
