Summary "Good Citizenship" by Grover Cleveland is a collection of essays that exude themes of patriotism and civic responsibility, written in the early 20th century. The book showcases Cleveland's reflections on what it means to be a good citizen in the context of American democracy, emphasizing the significance of active participation in public affairs rather than mere passive acknowledgment of citizenship. It captures the complexities of civic engagement at a time when the United States was navigating rapid changes in its political and social landscape. The book comprises two main sections, where Cleveland delivers addresses on the concepts of good citizenship and patriotism. He argues that true patriotism extends beyond mere voting and declarations of loyalty; it demands continuous engagement and accountability to the nation. Cleveland critiques the complacency often found among citizens who fail to recognize their responsibilities, drawing parallels to both civic duty and moral integrity. The second part discusses the importance of commemorating national holidays, urging citizens to reflect upon their historical significance and the virtues embodied by foundational figures like George Washington. Throughout the essays, Cleveland advocates for a revival of sincere patriotism and shared commitment to public welfare, urging Americans to cultivate the qualities essential for the nation's enduring greatness.
