186929565Philadelphia: E.C. Markley & Son Printers 1869. 23 1 blank pp. Stitched in original printed purple wrappers light color fading. Near Fine.<br/><br/> A rare printed argument by Dropsie the prominent lawyer author philanthropist entrepreneur railroad promoter President of Gratz College and a leader of Philadelphia's Jewish community. Representing Philadelphia's Aldermen Dropsie appeals from a lower court decision enjoining the Aldermen from enforcing a new State law designed to prevent voting fraud. Dropsie argues "the necessity for some law to prevent the perpetration of frauds and protect the citizen in his right of suffrage." Existing law has not "restrained the commission of frauds in elections" in Philadelphia. <br/> The lower court had declared that the law's application exclusively to Philadelphia violated the State Constitution's requirement "that elections shall be free and equal." Dropsie explains the true meaning of the "free and equal" clause and argues that it does not prohibit the enactment. <br/>OCLC 58445647 3- U PA PA State Hebrew Union as of April 2019. E.C.
