Civil Government of Virginia A Text-book for Schools Based Upon the Constitution of 1902 and Conforming to the Laws Enacted in Accordance Therewith

"Civil Government of Virginia" by William Fayette Fox is an educational textbook from the early 1900s that explores how Virginia's government works using the 1902 Constitution as its guide. It starts by explaining what government means, from families to the state, and why it's needed for a peaceful society. The book breaks down the government into three parts—law-making, law-enforcing, and courts—and explains what each one does. It also talks about important ideas like how civil government should work, why the majority gets to decide, and why it's important for people to be involved in their government. In essence, this book seeks to educate young citizens about their rights and duties within the framework of Virginia's laws and Constitution.
