This is a collection of lectures delivered by Tucker in the William Storrs Lecture Series, Yale University Law School, 1916, and originally titled "Local Self-Government." One lecture addresses the ways in which the proposal to enfranchise women by Constitutional amendment violates the "genius" of the Constitution. Good opposing arguments can be found in "Woman suffrage by federal Constitutional amendment" [Library, Carrie Chapman Catt, sec. VII, no. 60].
Excerpt from Woman's Suffrage by Constitutional Amendment The following pages contain substantially the five lectures delivered by the author in the Storrs Lecture Course in the Law School of Yale University, in February, 1916. The title given to this book, "Woman's Suffrage by Constitutional Amendment," is not the same under which the lectures were originally given. Their title was "Local Self-Government." The reader will see that the real discussion in these pages is devoted to the proper and rightful demarcation of the powers of the Federal and State Governments under the Constitution of the United States, and the necessity for maintaining those powers in a just equilibrium for the preservation of the Liberty of American citizens.

This collection of essays focuses on the various arguments for and against woman suffrage by federal constitutional amendment rather than by individual states. An essay by Henry Wade Rogers provides an interesting counterpoint to another volume in this collection, "Woman's Suffrage by Constitutional Amendment," by Henry St. George Tucker [Section VII, no. 380].
