- W367015660 abstract "It may truthfully be said that no department of government has received so little real study as the exceptional jurisdiction of clemency created by the federal and state constitutions. As tle theory was inherited with the common law of England, the assumption has been general that its early English traditional bases of mercy and caprice have remained unmodified. This is an error. Many judicial decisions have indicated its true scope and defined the nature and effect of the charters issued. No court, however, has ever attempted to declare what grounds or motives should prompt the exercise of the pardoning power, nor has any court ever attempted to ascertain or review the reasons for a pardon. Manifestly the exercise of such power would be unwarranted under our scheme of government. The jurisdiction of clemency is far removed from that of the courts. The American theory of democratic government was at the outset stamped with the recognition of the people as the source of all power and a delegation in written constitutions of so much of that power as might become necessary to establish and maintain individual, community and governmental rights. These have in all instances been intrusted to clearly separated legislative, judicial and executive departments. The legislative is endowed with all the power the people would have in primary or original general assembly not specifically reserved or bestowed upon another department. The judicial branch is made the hand-maiden of the people for sustaining the organic purpose and plan and their will as legislatively expressed from time to time. The executive department, however, is clothed with all the discretion of the people as a collective sovereign and is the least restrained of all the branches. Indeed, the chief of the state, for the preservation of the peace and the orderly operation of all other departments of government, is the depositary of every power to be implied from the terms of the constitution and not therein limited or specifically vested in other branches. He is the voice and the servant of the sovereign people and represents and ought to exercise all their reserved powers which may be required to carry out their general" @default.
