Imperium in Imperio: A Study Of The Negro Race Problem

CHAPTER XVI
10/15

A Congress was duly elected, one member for every fifty thousand citizens.

Branch legislatures were formed in each state.

Except in a few, but important particulars, the constitution was modeled after that of the United States.
"There is only one branch to our Congress, the members of which are elected by a majority vote, for an indefinite length of time, and may be recalled at any time by a majority vote.
"This Congress passes laws relating to the general welfare of our people, and whenever a bill is introduced in the Congress of the United States affecting our race it is also introduced and debated here.
"Every race question submitted to the United States judiciary, is also submitted to our own.

A record of our decisions is kept side by side with the decisions of the United States.
"The money which the scientist left was wisely invested, and at the conclusion of the civil war amounted to many millions.

Good land at the South was offered after the war for twenty-five cents an acre.
These millions were expended in the purchase of such lands, and our treasury is now good for $500,000,000.
