The Chief Justice refused to accept the previously established legal precedents of other states which would limit considerably the right of the state to regulate corporations. As a result Wisconsin became one of America’s pioneers in regulating corporations which over 25 years later, Theodore Roosevelt was to do for the nation as a whole. The phrase “empire within an empire,” the translation of the Latin that Ryan used, has often been quoted to describe the power corporations had at that time.
This quotation is referred to by these who debunk the myth that everyone was armed in early America. This was so on the frontier where there were potential Indian hostilities but in the rest of the country guns were not a part of everyday life or the culture. Even hunting was not that common an activity as raising cattle and farming was a much more reliable method of assuring a good food supply. The quotation is also often referred to in discussions regarding preparedness. This was an early example where the effect of peace and quiet was to diminish government budgetary commitment to military preparedness. . Floyd was very modern in his economic views, so much so that he, even as a Southern politician, opposed slavery on the grounds that it was economically inefficient and the South would never develop industrially if it had no incentive, as existed in the North and England, to reduce the amount of labor required for economic opportunity. He was right on that point as well.
Even after the South was defeated in the Civil War, most Southern politicians strove to keep the newly freed Blacks from voting. The vehicle they chose to attain that purpose was the concept of States’ Rights where the states were the sole determiners of who could and could not vote. The majority of the country rejected that view and the Constitution was amended to allow Black men to vote. After reconstruction Black voting in the South was curtailed substantiality by devices such as poll taxes and literacy requirements and terror and intimidation. It was not until the latter part of the 20th century that most Blacks could vote in the Southern States.

The Social Security law, most American’s favorite government program, had just been passed that year, and like the Affordable Health Care Act in the Obama administration, the Republicans were rabidly opposed to the program, and there was none of the collaboration with an objective to perfect and improve the legislative language. And like “Obama Care” and most very large new government initiatives, there were many problems that became clear once the program was started. Amazingly President Roosevelt was the first to tell the public and the press that the Social Security program will have many problems, but what does not work can be replaced by something else and the program would be improved. This was part of FDR’s basic approach to the Presidency. (See {631419}.) No politician in modern times would be able to say that or anything like it, and Mrs. Roosevelt’s quotation here, which she wrote for the entire country to see, most politicians and political scientists would agree that she was exactly right about new legislative initiative.
When Roosevelt was elected Governor of NY State, the State Party Boss Platt saw patronage and contracts was the most important services the Governor should render to the Party. TR had a different view as expressed here.
