Opis: A Study of Municipal Government - Parker Francis J.

Excerpt from A Study of Municipal Government: In Massachusetts

The history of municipal government among Anglo- Saxon people is an exceedingly interesting study. Originally the most democratic institutions of their time, and the simple product of its necessities, they finally came to be in Great Britain almost entirely oligarchic, entirely artificial, and so intricate in their constitutions, as to be not at all understanded of the people who were once their constituent particles.

All resident householders not being bondmen, and paying scot and bearing lot, were once the burgesses and citizens, in boroughs and cities, as also the freemen in the shires. Until the time of Henry VI. of England, none of them were true corporations, but as a rule all power was based upon the suffrage of the burgesses and emanated from their consent.
