Pawan Jury BhilwaraRj

Kapil Bishnoi:

Mahatma Lala Lajpat Rai ji was in the USA from 1915 to 1920. During his stay, he studied the USA administration and wrote a book
The United States of America: A Hindu’s Impression, 1916.
In his book, the following are his mentions about democratic procedures followed in the USA
.
1. Recall and Referendum (Page 32)
.
"The American government, state as well as national, is growing more and more democratic; many states have accepted the initiative, the referendum, and the recall, and the nation seems determined to drive business-control out of politics."
.
2. Jury Trials (Page 14)
.
"The constitution drawn up for the new government was submitted to the various states for ratification and accepted with amendments guaranteeing free speech, a free press, immunity from arbitrary arrest, and the right to be tried by a jury of one's peers after a public hearing of witness on both sides."
.
It is crystal clear that Mahatma Lala Lajpat Rai ji knew about the democratic procedures of the USA and mentioned those in his book too.
