"Civil Government of Virginia" by William Fayette Fox is a comprehensive textbook written in the early 20th century, specifically based on the Virginia Constitution of 1902. This educational work is designed for schools and provides an in-depth exploration of the structure and functions of the government in Virginia, guided by the legal framework established by the Constitution and subsequent laws. The opening of the book introduces fundamental concepts of government, defining 'government' in various contexts—familial, social, and state—and emphasizing its necessity for order and well-being within any community. Fox outlines the three branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial, describing their respective roles and responsibilities. He articulates the principles surrounding civil government, the importance of majority rule, and the necessity for citizens to engage in the political process. This foundation sets the stage for a detailed discussion on governance, advocating for civic awareness and participation as essential components of maintaining a healthy republic.
